Why businesses move to tBiz
Almost nobody moves because their accounting software cannot do accounting. They move because the accounting is in one system, the stock in another, the payroll in a spreadsheet and the sales pipeline in a WhatsApp group — and somebody spends the last week of every month making those four agree.
- Raise an invoice
- Stock issues, receivable opens, GST register updates
- Run payroll
- Salary journal posts itself, PF and ESI to their accounts
- Receive goods
- Stock in, payable opens, ITC ready to match against 2B
- Post production
- Components consumed, finished goods costed at real cost
What actually changes
The month end gets shorter
Most of a month end is reconciling systems that should never have disagreed. When the stock issue and the sale are the same posting, that work does not exist to be done.
Hiring stops being a licence decision
Unlimited users on a paid plan means the new storekeeper gets a login on their first day rather than at the next renewal.
The owner can see it from anywhere
Receivables, stock and profit on a phone, without asking anybody to export something and send it.
India and the UAE in one account
Tax regime is set per company, so a group runs GST books in INR and VAT books in AED under one login.
Keyboard-first entry survives
Staff trained on desktop accounting software keep their muscle memory — the key strip and the grid conventions are deliberately familiar.
Support that has filed a return
In Hindi and English, from people who know what a readiness check is telling you.
Where tBiz is weaker, plainly
- Portal filing. tBiz builds and validates e-invoice and e-way bill payloads but does not yet transmit them to the portal. Tally, Busy and Marg do. If that round-trip is what you cannot do without today, that is a real reason to wait.
- Arabic. There is no Arabic in the product and no right-to-left document rendering. If you must issue bilingual tax invoices, Wafeq or Zoho Books are the honest answer.
- Saudi e-invoicing. No ZATCA integration. tBiz can keep Saudi books; it cannot be your compliant invoicing system there.
- Working offline. It is a browser product. A business with genuinely unreliable internet is better served by a desktop system, and we would rather say so than sell you a frustration.
Questions before switching
What is the single biggest reason businesses switch?
Coordination rather than accounting. The books are usually fine; the problem is that stock, payroll and sales live in separate systems and somebody reconciles them by hand every month. One ledger removes the reconciliation rather than speeding it up.
Will my staff have to relearn everything?
Voucher entry is keyboard-first with a visible key strip and the same concepts — groups, ledgers, vouchers, cost centres — so people trained on Tally or Busy are generally productive within a day.
What does it cost?
There is no published rate card, because a five-person trading firm and a three-branch manufacturer are not the same job. Tell us what you run and you get a scoped quote in writing within a working day.
How long does a migration take?
Typically under a week for the data, plus a parallel month if you want the reassurance. Moving at a financial year boundary makes it considerably cleaner.
