Why Mach ERP

# 

The books close. The job, the GST file and the dealer live somewhere else. The MD still calls four people for one number. Wastage shows up at month-end.

How it compares

## 

We quote what Tally and SAP publish. We do not guess what they cannot do.

Tally and Excel

As they describe it

* Tally describes TallyPrime as software for accounting, inventory, banking and compliance in one place.
* Tally states TallyPrime supports GST invoicing, e-invoicing and e-way bills.

Mach ERP

Ten modules share one ledger, one GST stack, and run on your cloud. The plant, not only the books: orders, stores, the shop floor and quality on the same record.

SAP Business One

* SAP states Business One can be deployed in the cloud or on premise.

Honest fit

## 

### You only keep accounts and stock.

If the team is happy at one desk, and nobody else needs the same numbers, you may not need an ERP yet.

### Excel is one person’s working list.

If nobody else needs the same number, a spreadsheet is enough. Keep it.

### WhatsApp can still hold the orders.

Stay until it cannot. The leak starts when the MD has to call four people for one figure.

Bring the mess

Bring a Tally export or an item list. We will show you what it looks like in Mach ERP.
