Comparison · Bagdor and Tally
Tally keeps your books. Bagdor runs your day.
Tally is accounting software: your accountant uses it for books, ledgers and GST returns. Bagdor is distributor management software: your office, retailers, drivers and salespeople use it to take orders, make challans and GST bills, deliver, count crates and collect payments. Bagdor has no Tally sync today, so the two run side by side.
Bagdor is distributor management software from Lucknow, India. This page compares it with Tally, the accounting software.

Bagdor and Tally, side by side
They do different jobs. This is what each one is for in a distributor’s business.
| Area | Bagdor | Tally |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Distributor management software that runs the day’s work | Accounting software that keeps the books |
| Who uses it | Owner, office, drivers, salespeople and retailers | The accountant |
| Retailer orders | On WhatsApp, the Retailer App or from salespeople, in one list | Not part of Tally itself |
| Challans and GST bills | Made automatically overnight for every approved order | Entered one by one by the person using Tally |
| Delivery, crates and driver cash | Driver App: stops, signature, crates, cash and UPI, even offline | Not part of Tally itself |
| Field salespeople | Bagdor Sales: visits, orders, live location, attendance | Not part of Tally itself |
| Books, GST returns, balance sheet | Not done in Bagdor | Yes, this is its job |
| e-invoice and e-way bill | Not in Bagdor today | Handled by your accountant |
| Link between the two | No Tally sync today; ledgers and lists export to Excel or PDF | Your accountant keeps the books from those |
How they run side by side
Through the day, your team works in Bagdor: retailers order, the office approves, challans and GST bills are made, drivers deliver and collect, and dues are chased. Your accountant keeps the books in Tally as before. Retailer ledgers and most lists in Bagdor export to Excel or PDF, so the accountant has what they need.
Bagdor does not sync with Tally today, and it does not file GST returns or make e-invoices or e-way bills. If you need those, your accountant keeps doing them in Tally or on the GST portal.

Questions distributors ask

No. Bagdor does not keep your books of accounts or file GST returns. It runs the day’s work: orders, stock, challans and GST bills, delivery, crates and collections. Your accountant can keep Tally for the books.
Can Bagdor send data to Tally automatically?
Not today. There is no Tally sync. Retailer ledgers and most lists export to Excel or PDF, which you can hand to your accountant.
Bagdor aur Tally mein kya fark hai?
Tally hisaab-kitaab (accounts) ke liye hai; Bagdor roz ke kaam ke liye: order, stock, challan, GST bill, delivery, crate aur udhaar. In short: Tally keeps your books, Bagdor runs your day.
Who should use Tally and who should use Bagdor in my business?
Your accountant uses Tally. Your office team uses the Distributor Panel, your drivers the Driver App, your salespeople Bagdor Sales, and your retailers the Retailer App or WhatsApp.
Does Bagdor make e-invoices or e-way bills?
Not today. Bagdor makes GST tax invoices with each challan, but e-invoice (IRN) and e-way bill generation are not part of Bagdor yet.
