Tally alone vs Tally with AIMS
Tally is excellent at what it is built for: your books of account. The work around it, from leads and quotes to service and field teams, usually lives in spreadsheets. AIMS adds that layer, with Tally still at the centre of your accounts.
Side by side
| Topic | Tally alone | Tally with AIMS |
|---|---|---|
| Books of account | In Tally. | Still in Tally. Nothing changes for your accountant. |
| Leads and follow-ups | Outside Tally, in a diary, Excel or WhatsApp. | In AIMS, with every follow-up on the customer record. |
| Quotes and approvals | Typed in Word or Excel. | Built from your prices, with approval on thin margins. |
| Service and AMC | In spreadsheets, if anywhere. | Contracts, visits and renewals in AIMS IQ. |
| Field teams | Call the office for information. | Work from the AIMS mobile app. |
| Getting Tally data to the team | Exported and retyped. | Pulled from Tally into AIMS, with every record reviewed first. |
Which suits you
Tally alone is enough when
- You mainly need accounting, GST and inventory valuation.
- A small team handles sales without formal quotes or follow-ups.
- You have no service contracts or field teams.
Tally with AIMS pays off when
- Sales, service or field teams work outside Tally today.
- Quotes, renewals or follow-ups get missed.
- You want Tally data in front of people who do not use Tally.
