That contrast is real specifically // against Tally's desktop-anchored design, which is why it lives here. // // ROI is deliberately NOT a blanket "you'll save ₹X" claim (per the site // owner's direct feedback that most Tally-loyal MSME customers are price- // sensitive and skeptical, and a flat assertion won't move them) - it // reuses ManualTrackingCalculator.jsx, the same visitor-driven-numbers // calculator on the Home page, so the number comes from their own team and // hours instead of an asserted average. // // Loaded as a classic (non-module) Babel-transformed script - see // index.html's header comment. const TALLY_STRENGTHS = [ "GST-compliant invoicing and accounting, trusted by accountants across India", "Unlimited godowns for raw material, WIP, and finished-goods stock", "Job costing - material, labour, and overhead rolled up per job or order", "A one-time perpetual license (Silver for single-user, Gold for multi-user) instead of a mandatory subscription", ]; const TALLY_GAPS = [ "WIP shows up as a balance-sheet value - not a per-stage ledger showing which stage actually lost the material", "No configurable multi-stage production/recipe engine - stages and yield loss aren't something you define and track", "No dispatch tracking or customer-facing delivery confirmation - proof of delivery is still a phone call", "No automated broker/vendor/customer commission or pricing-rule engine", "Default access is Owner vs. Data Entry Operator - finer roles exist, but as a locally-administered desktop setting, not permissions enforced by a server API", "Built around a local install next to your data - real remote access exists, but with real restrictions (imports are blocked, ODBC isn't available) that keep it anchored to one machine", ]; const PORTAL_CAPABILITIES = [ { title: "Genuinely responsive - not remote access to a desktop app", body: "The SkelBiz portal is built with real responsive layouts across the platform, not a desktop screen shrunk down or a remote-access session into one machine.

SkelBiz syncs directly into the Tally you already trust - as the operations layer for purchase, multi-warehouse inventory, production, and dispatch that Tally was never built to be.
And where the gap opens once you're past the ledger.
Three real differences that matter specifically against a desktop-anchored system.

Tally Prime's own license really is cheaper than SkelBiz - because it doesn't do what SkelBiz does. Rather than assert a blanket saving, here's a calculator for exactly what stays manual once Tally is installed - plug in your own team and hours below.
