Stitchfloor beside six products factories already use.

TallyPrime and BUSY keep the books. TranZact and Zoho ERP plan production. SAP and Microsoft run large companies. Stitchfloor runs the floor of a garment factory and the daily books beside it. Here is what each one does, including where Stitchfloor is behind.

Checked against vendors' public pages, October 2026.

01Side by side

Eighteen questions, seven answers each.

Every cell about another product carries a number you can follow to the vendor's own page, or to a partner's published estimate. "Not found" means we looked and did not find it, which is a different thing from "No". A live workspace is your company's own Stitchfloor, as opposed to the public demo.

Checked against each vendor's public pages in October 2026. Competitor prices are list prices or partner estimates, before GST. For Stitchfloor, prices are per month. Ask us for a written quote. Five broad cells for SAP and Microsoft (accounting, production and web access) carry no number: they describe each product's general scope rather than one page. Stock is left out because all seven keep it. Spotted something out of date? Write to hello@stitchfloor.com.

02What we do not do

Where Stitchfloor is behind today.

If one of these decides it for you, one of the other six is the better choice, and we would rather you knew now.

  • NoE-invoices (IRN)Stitchfloor does not generate e-invoices. TallyPrime, BUSY, TranZact and Zoho do, and SAP and Microsoft do it through a GSP or a file.
  • NoThe statutory booksParty ledgers, a cash and bank book and a profit estimate, yes. A double-entry trial balance, input GST, depreciation and GST returns stay with your accountant.
  • NoBill of materials and MRPStitchfloor tracks lots by stage, job cards and wages. It does not plan material from a bill of materials, which TranZact, Zoho and SAP do; Tally and BUSY 21 keep a bill of materials.
  • Coming soonA native iPhone appA native iPhone app is coming soon. Until then iPhones use the web app in the browser, which has every desk. The Android app is in closed testing.
  • Coming soonEntries over WhatsAppA WhatsApp agent that takes entries from your team is coming soon. Today WhatsApp is for sharing: the catalogue link and drafted lead replies open WhatsApp for you to send, and payment reminders are drafts you copy. Nothing is sent automatically.
  • PartialLanguages beyond HindiHindi and English only, and Hindi covers the Production, Operations and Inventory desks; printed documents stay in English. Zoho Books offers five more Indian languages.
