Using Tally and QuickBooks for many years signifies that these systems delivered satisfactory results for your business operations. They’re straightforward, affordable, and familiar. The expansion of your business reveals that your current tools have reached their maximum capacity.
Managers attempting to operate a contemporary business with outdated 90s technology start feeling overwhelmed when they need to use spreadsheets along with manual entries and separate software applications. Businesses begin their search for a genuine ERP system at this point and NetSuite positions as one of their primary considerations.
A business needs to transition to NetSuite from Tally or QuickBooks when the following signs become apparent.
QuickBooks needs to be considered an inadequate tool for managing complex multi-entity operations since it was created without this functionality in mind. If you’re:
• Managing multiple locations
• Dealing with different currencies
• Handling international transactions
• Struggling with consolidated reporting
A business which extends operations across multiple locations or business units makes Tally and QuickBooks difficult to handle. Manual financial merging across branches as well as subsidiaries demands too much time and can generate numerous mistakes.
The product excels by targeting companies running multiple business units. The platform provides you with instant consolidated financial statements together with integrated intercompany transactions management features along with regional compliance monitoring capabilities.
Professionals must admit that the Tally or QuickBooks data export followed by Excel data merging alongside custom dashboard creation becomes unscalable.
Your organization has outgrown basic financial tools when your finance team needs to allocate more time to resolving formulas than conducting number analysis.
NetSuite provides users with a built-in financial reporting system which supports complete customization of reports. Want a real-time P&L? A department-level budget tracker? A report by project or region? NetSuite handles such tasks automatically without requiring users to maintain spreadsheet confusion.
Without the real-time monitoring of your business, you are just like a person driving a car while being blindfolded. For example, if you are using outdated inventories, sales reports or cost of goods sold values, you could expose yourself and your business to unnecessary risks through your constant reaction to the outdated data.
NetSuite comes with live data on the dashboard for the whole team – exec, sales, operations, and finance.
We get the real information when we need it and no time is wasted on searching for it. Finally, no more mistakes are done.
It is true that Tally and QuickBooks are the best for accounting but what else can they offer?
• Inventory management?
• Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and sales tracking?
• Procurement workflows?
• Project accounting?
If you are employing 4–5 uncoordinated systems to run business operations apart from the accounting department, then your next step must be to get a system upgrade.
NetSuite is a comprehensive ERP package-the financial module being one of the many key functions that it offers you. It allows you to tie your whole enterprise into one integrated network.
Supply chain problems increase with business growth. If you are an expanding business, the problems of your logistics could be the following: stock-outs, over-ordering, and delays in delivery.
Both Tally and QuickBooks stand in front of the basic inventory tracking task, but to expect more would be overestimating what they are designed to carry
QuickBooks’ inventory management is pretty basic. If you’re experiencing any of these challenges:
• Multiple warehouse locations
• Complex supply chain tracking
• Need for automated reorder points
• Real-time inventory visibility
NetSuite is your best choice for inventory management. It is your asset in good standing because it has the ability to enable you to see your stocks in real-time, organize your supplies using multiple warehouses, reorder automatically, and work together with sales and purchases directly through integration.
Is there anyone who does not get butterflies in their stomach entering a foreign market? The problem arises when local tax laws, currency conversion rules, and compliance are the issues to solve.
Both Tally and QuickBooks do not offer all the features for multi-currency transactions that are required by the users. Moreover, those limitations also prevent companies from achieving global compliance, from preparing consolidated financials and from using multilingual interfaces.
The ability to handle many currencies, several languages, and multiple tax rates is innate in NetSuite. Thus, whether your branch office is in Dubai or you are just shipping products to Germany, NetSuite is able to grow with your abroad business.
If your sales team works in a CRM, your accountants use QuickBooks or Tally, and your operations team still uses their spreadsheets — this is a clear indication of your silo operating mode.
Being disconnected results in wasted efforts, lost chances, and lots of work in reporting.
NetSuite is a platform that allows your CRM, ERP, inventory, and eCommerce data to be consolidated in a single location. This means that many internal emails can be reduced and forget about outdated data. Everyone has the same data they need, and it is in front of them, and they can see it at any time.
Going for the basic Workflows and fields available in QuickBooks and Tally is something everyone can do on their own — and it doesn’t require specific knowledge. However, configure the correct features and make the industry-specific solution work for you: creating your own design, modification tools, custom fields, etc., it is definitely the right track for you.
NetSuite can be scaled to a variety of industrial requirements: manufacturing, eCommerce, services, and wholesale distribution. It also allows the realization of personalization for the business processes that are highly configurable.
Want to have subscriptions billed automatically? Checked. Or, need purchase approval levels to be set? You can do that and simplify all your management and supervision.
Is it still the case that physical servers are being used? Do you still have qualms about whether or not they will be backed up, updated, or crashed?
Tally and QuickBooks local versions are still labor-intensive and have too many constraints even if it’s transferred to cloud
technology. NetSuite is fully cloud-based, which means:
• No more installations
• No more updates to manage manually
• Automatic backups and security
• Access anytime, anywhere
Let your IT team concentrate on strategic projects not the routine firefighting every day.
Are you interested in raising capital? Making the company go public? Are you thinking about being bought?
Friendly reminder: Investors and auditors prefer easily accessible, clear, accurate, real-time data and not disconnected spreadsheets or confusing and untidy reports.
You remain audit-ready, always. NetSuite has integrated internal control tools, permission-based access control, audit trails, and GAAP/IFRS that will help you to deal with any future.
If you recognized several of these signs, it might be time to seriously consider making the switch. Remember, You don’t need to keep struggling with systems that weren’t designed for where your business is headed. Tally and QuickBooks were great stepping stones — but NetSuite is the platform built for your next phase of growth.
