Keep TallyPrime for your accountant. Run the floor in Stitchfloor.
TallyPrime is accounting software that 2.7 million businesses use, by Tally's own count, and it keeps the statutory books better than we do.1 Stitchfloor is for the part Tally was never built for: the lots, the job cards and the piece-rate wages on a garment floor.

Which one should you pick?
For most factories the answer is both: Tally for the books, Stitchfloor for the floor. If you can only have one, this is how we would decide.
Pick TallyPrime if
The office's software, and most accountants' first choice.
- Your accountant keeps a double-entry trial balance and the GST books, and you want it all in one place.3
- You need e-invoices: TallyPrime fetches the IRN and QR code as you save. Stitchfloor does not make e-invoices.4
- You want a bill of materials, job work orders and production pay heads in one desktop licence.5, 6
- You want the lowest price: a one-PC Silver licence rents for ₹750 a month.7
Pick Stitchfloor if
Your accountant keeps Tally for the statutory books.
- Supervisors should record the floor's work themselves, on their own desks, on a phone.
- Your floor reads Hindi first: the Production, Operations and Inventory desks run in Hindi.
- You pay by the piece and want the week's wages approved in one payout.
- Lots go out to printers and you need to know what came back.
- On a live workspace (your company's own Stitchfloor, as opposed to the public demo), a supervisor can speak an entry in Hindi or Hinglish and check it before it saves.

Where each one is stronger.
Tally is excellent at the books. Stitchfloor was built for the floor.
TallyPrimeWhere it is stronger
- The statutory books.Double-entry accounts, a balance sheet and profit and loss: the books your accountant signs off. Stitchfloor keeps party ledgers and a profit estimate, and leaves the rest to them.3
- E-invoices.The IRN and QR code are fetched as you save an invoice, one at a time or in bulk. Stitchfloor has no e-invoicing.4
- Your accountant already knows it.Tally says 2.7 million businesses use it, and it is sold and set up through authorised partners across India.1, 17
- Manufacturing and payroll in one licence.A bill of materials, job work orders and production pay heads come in every edition.5, 6
- Price.A one-PC Silver licence rents for ₹750 a month. Stitchfloor starts at ₹6,999.7
StitchfloorWhere it is different
- The floor has its own desks.Production and Operations supervisors sign in to screens built for their work: lots by stage, worker assignments and weekly job cards, printed one at a time or all at once.
- Hindi where the work happens.The Production, Operations and Inventory desks run in Hindi on the web and on Android, with 41 spoken instructions. Printed documents stay in English.
- Speak the entry.On a live workspace a supervisor says one sentence in Hindi or Hinglish. The form fills in from your own workers and open lots, and the factory's six processes, and nothing saves until a person confirms it.
- Piece-rate wages, approved weekly.A wage is earned when the bundle goes out, and paid through a weekly payout that an approver signs off.
- Lots at printers, and the factory's cash.Lots go out to printers and are counted back in, and the supervisor's factory cash book is kept apart from the office's cash and bank book.

Keep Tally. Add the floor.
You do not have to choose. Here is how the two sit side by side.
-
Your accountant
TallyPrime keeps the statutory books
The trial balance, input GST, depreciation and GST returns stay where they are, with the person who files them.
-
Your supervisors and office
Stitchfloor runs the floor and the daily books
Lots, job cards, piece-rate wages, stock, GST invoices, e-way bills on live workspaces, receivables and payables.
-
Between the two
Files, carried by a person
Stitchfloor's Accounts page imports the journal workbook your accountant exports, and several of its registers and reports download as CSV for your accountant.
Before you change anything.
Can Stitchfloor do everything TallyPrime does?
No. It does the daily work most factories open accounting software for: GST invoices, e-way bills on live workspaces, party ledgers, a cash and bank book, receivables and payables, and a profit estimate.
Input GST, statutory filings, depreciation and a trial balance are outside it, and it does not make e-invoices or file GST returns. Your accountant keeps those books.
Does Stitchfloor connect to Tally?
Not with a live connection, and nothing moves between the two on its own. Stitchfloor's Accounts page imports the journal workbook your accountant exports, and several registers and reports download as CSV. An administrator can also download the whole workspace from Settings at any time.
Why does Stitchfloor cost more than Tally?
It does a different job. Tally's price buys accounting software for the office. Stitchfloor's buys desks for the people on the floor as well: production and operations supervisors, piece-rate wages, lots at printers and Hindi worker screens, beside the daily books. If the office is all you need, Tally is the better buy.
Is TallyPrime available in Hindi?
Tally's own help page, updated in July 2026, says TallyPrime's display is available in Arabic and Bangla besides English, and that data can be entered and printed in regional languages.11 Stitchfloor's Production, Operations and Inventory desks run in Hindi; its printed documents stay in English.
Can my supervisors use Stitchfloor on their phones?
Yes, in any phone's browser, iPhones included. The Android app is in closed testing on Google Play, and a native iPhone app is coming soon.
Can I try it before I talk to you?
Yes. The public demo at demo.stitchfloor.com opens every desk on a sample factory, with a shared password and nothing to install. Voice entry and e-way bill filing need a live workspace; in the demo an e-way bill number is typed in by hand. The online catalogue and Leads are in the demo too; on a live workspace they need a one-time setup step.
