A Tally alternative for companies that have outgrown it
Tally is excellent for books and GST. Growing trading and sourcing companies need more around it: factory quotes, margins before you quote, credit control and approvals. BOEY gives you those, then takes over the books when you are ready.
Signs you have outgrown Tally
- Factory quotes, costings and margins live in Excel next to Tally.
- You only see the real margin on an order after month-end.
- Credit limits are checked by someone remembering to check.
- Purchase orders, approvals and call-outs happen in email and WhatsApp.
- Your team types the same order into email, Excel and Tally.
What BOEY adds
| Need | With Tally alone | With BOEY |
|---|---|---|
| Quotes from many factories | Email and Excel | One RFQ per factory, all colourways on it, replies compared side by side |
| Foreign-currency costs | Converted by hand | Quotes in HKD, RMB or any currency converted to your selling currency, with margin |
| Credit limits | Checked manually | Every order checked; over-limit orders wait for approval, with an audit log |
| Purchase orders | Outside the system | Bulk POs and call-outs with approval rules and your own numbering |
| Books | Tally | Vouchers, ledgers and trial balance, with invoices and payments posted automatically |
Move without a switch-over weekend
You do not have to leave Tally on day one. BOEY starts beside it with your customers, suppliers and products imported. Sourcing moves first, then purchasing and credit control, then the books. Tally keeps running everything that has not moved yet, and is retired only when the numbers match. Read how the move works.
Who it is for
Trading, sourcing and manufacturing companies, typically USD 5-100 million in revenue, that buy from many factories, sell in several currencies and give customers credit.
