What is Tally?
Tally Solutions Pvt. Ltd. is an Indian Multi-national software company that offers Business Accounting and Management Software under the name Tally. Tally helps in Accounting, Finance, GST & other compliance requirements and makes these comprehensive processes easy for the organizations.
Tally was started in 1986 by a Father and Son Duo (Shyam Sundar Goenka and Bharat Goenka). To help them and others out who needed a software solution to help them manage their Books of accounts, and this need created Tally. It is one of the largest business management software providers and is serving around 2 million businesses worldwide.
What is TranZact?
TranZact is a zero-effort Digital Transformation tool that helps in digitalizing the entire business process right from Inquiry to Sales & Dispatch. It is not just a Traditional ERP or Inventory Management software but is very much different from them. Because TranZact also provides all the benefits and features of ERP and Inventory Management software like streaming of all business processes, faster documentation, inventory management, and financial assistance.
IIT and IIM graduates founded TranZact in 2017. The main idea behind TranZact is that every Indian SME and Traditional Businesses should take a step forward in Digitalizing themselves entirely. And so they can achieve great fortune. Also, they can contribute successfully to the Digital India initiative of the country.
How is TranZact different from Tally?
To start off with, I want to clarify one notion about Tally that it is ERP software that is not true. Because ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) software refers to software and systems used to plan and manage all the core supply chain, manufacturing, services, financial and other processes of an organization. ERPs use to automate and simplify individual activities across a business or organization, such as accounting and procurement, project management, customer relationship management, risk management, compliance, and supply chain operations.
From the above explanation, you all have got an idea of what ERP software does. And now about Tally and its products, they solve one of the significant problems which businesses have. That is Accounting, Tax Compliances, Financial Management, and Analysis. So it is not wrong to say that Tally ERP software is not entirely ERP software. But they provide some of the services that ERPs offer.
Now let's come to TranZact, so it is also not ERP software. But is known as a Digital Transformation Tool. Like Tally, it also offers some services of ERPs as Inventory Management, Document Processing, Batch Mangement and also in procument. TranZact helps in automating and managing all of the business's core activities. And also in maintaining the proper flow of information among the different departments without any difficulty.
