TallyPrime is the better choice if your work is mainly books, GST and inventory: it is fast, keyboard-driven, cheaper, and files GST returns from inside the product. ARUKZ ERP is the better choice when the shop floor is the problem: bills of materials, work orders, rejections by lot, job work on both sides of the challan, and one record that links a customer complaint back to a supplier’s batch. Many factories keep Tally for the accountant during the first months, which is a sensible way to start.

Side by side

When Tally is the better choice

  • You are a trader or a service business with no production.
  • Your accountant files GST from Tally today and you want to keep that.
  • You need the lowest monthly cost.

When ARUKZ ERP is the better choice

  • You make things, send material to job workers, or do job work for others.
  • Rejections, lots and work orders live in Excel next to Tally today.
  • Several people need the same data from different places.

Moving from Tally

ARUKZ ERP imports your Tally masters (groups, ledgers, parties with GSTIN, stock items) and opening balances from Tally’s XML export, then shows a group-by-group check against Tally. Past vouchers are not imported. See Moving from Tally, and Day Book, Ledger and Stock Summary for the screens that will feel familiar.

What ARUKZ ERP does not do

  • It does not file GST returns or generate e-invoices and e-way bills from inside the product. You upload the prepared file or record the portal’s number.
  • It does not import past Tally vouchers, only masters and opening balances.
  • It costs more than Tally.
  • Some Tally habits are missing: no Enter-to-next-field, no drill-down from Stock Summary, no Alt+F2, and contra opens a journal entry.
