Marg and Tally are widely used by distributors in Indore, and for a single-location stockist they are often enough. Growth changes that: several godowns, a field force, retailer ordering apps and companies demanding secondary sales data.

Migrating batch-wise stock

Stock is thousands of batches with expiry and rates. Export item, batch and rate masters, verify with a physical count of a sample and fast movers, then import. Bill-wise outstanding comes across the same way.

Verify the batches before import. Wrong expiry dates in a new system destroy trust on day one.
