Tally vs Autroid
TallyPrime is India's most trusted accounting software — and for good reason. But if your service business needs CRM, operations management, HR, and inventory alongside accounting, you're running 4–5 separate tools to fill the gaps Tally wasn't designed to cover.
Autroid vs Tally
You need CRM, operations, HR and inventory on the same ledger as your accounting — not 4–5 tools stitched together.
You only need desktop accounting and GST filing, and your CA already works inside Tally day to day.

Why businesses switch to Autroid
Tally does accounting. Your business needs more.
TallyPrime excels at ledgers, vouchers, and GST compliance. But service businesses also need CRM, operations management, inventory linked to job cards, and HR — none of which Tally provides. That means 4–5 separate tools, none of which talk to each other.
Zero data re-entry between workshop floor and accounts.
In a Tally-based workflow, your accountant re-enters job card data into vouchers manually. In Autroid, the invoice is auto-generated from the job card. Parts consumption, labour charges, and taxes flow through without a single copy-paste.
Cloud-native means access from anywhere.
TallyPrime runs on a desktop. Accessing it remotely requires Tally on Cloud — a separate paid subscription. Autroid is cloud-native from day one. Your branch managers, technicians, and accountants access the same live data from any browser or the mobile app.
Multi-branch without configuration overhead.
TallyPrime now supports multi-GSTIN setups with consolidated reporting — a significant improvement. However, Autroid's branch management is simpler: every branch is built into the same platform from day one, with per-branch P&L, inventory, and operations drill-down — no GSTIN configuration or manual consolidation required.
Switching from Tally to Autroid
Most service businesses complete the switch in 2–4 weeks. Your historical Tally data is imported during onboarding with zero data loss.
- Export customer master, open invoices, and ledger balances from TallyPrime via XML export
- Autroid maps your Tally chart of accounts to the Autroid ledger structure — GST groups, HSN/SAC codes configured
- Parts catalog and current stock levels imported with vendor mapping
- Team trained on job card workflow, CRM, inventory, and reporting (2–3 days)
- Parallel run for 2 weeks — Tally used for historical reference, Autroid for all new transactions
