Automating the Supply Chain with Tally.ERP 9
Traditional approaches to supply chain automation often require distributors to use applications tied directly to the parent company’s ERP. This typically involves distributors manually entering sales data—such as information about products sold to specific retailers—into a separate application, which then transfers the data to the parent company’s ERP.
While this may seem straightforward, it presents a challenge: most distributors already rely on Tally for accounting and sales records. Asking them to duplicate work by entering data into a new system provides no clear benefit and complicates their workflow.
By leveraging Tally’s customization capabilities, distributors can seamlessly align their processes with the parent company’s ERP system, avoiding redundancy. This solution enables the automatic transfer of sales and stock data from Tally to the centralized ERP whenever an internet connection is available, ensuring transparency and minimal disruption to distributor workflows.
