Two different jobs
Tally is a well-known accounting package. Accounting software keeps the books of a business, and that is a different job from running the sales counter. Many small shops end up using one tool for both jobs, and then find that a heavy tool is slow for quick counter billing.
Effy Order is built for the counter side of the business. You create GST invoices, take orders, keep stock up to date and see what each customer still owes. It runs in a web browser, so you can use it on a desktop, a tablet or a phone without installing anything.
What Effy Order covers
On the billing side you get GST invoices with CGST, SGST and IGST, quotations, delivery challans and credit notes and debit notes. On the stock side, every sale, purchase and return updates the item quantity, and low stock alerts tell you when to reorder. Barcodes can be generated, printed and scanned while billing.
On the money side you record payments in and payments out, adjust customer advances and see pending amounts for each customer. GST reports and sales reports are available and can be exported for your accountant. The app can also be used in English or Tamil.
Where an accounting package is still the right tool
Effy Order is not a full accounting package. If you need complete books of accounts and final financial statements, keep using the software your accountant works in. A common way to work is to use Effy Order for daily billing, stock and dues, and hand the reports to the accountant at the end of the month.
If your main trouble is that billing is slow, stock is wrong or customer dues are written on loose paper, a focused tool is likely to feel lighter than a full accounting product. Try it with a 30-day free trial on the plans that offer one, and see whether it fits the way your counter works.
