Tally

If you run Tally, you're already running the systems Kolossus is built for.

We didn't build Kolossus and then add Tally support as an afterthought. We built it specifically for businesses where Tally is the source of truth - where ledgers, vouchers, and stock entries are the primary system, not a data feed into something else.

Why this page exists

Other AI platforms tell you to clean your Tally data first. We don't.

You probably found this page because you searched "AI for Tally". You've likely already evaluated Microsoft Copilot, asked Snowflake about reading from Tally, watched a Salesforce Einstein demo - and heard the same answer from all of them. Kolossus is different by design. We don't ask you to migrate, restructure, or re-platform anything.

Will this break my Tally?

The most common question we get.
Here's the honest answer.

Tally is the financial backbone of your business. We treat it that way. Read-first by default. Write-back is permission-controlled per user. Your Tally instance never moves out of your environment.

Write-back is a separate permission tier you control per user. Every write action is logged with user, timestamp, and what changed.

The Tally specifics

Things other AI platforms don't think about. We had to.

Hindi field names. ODBC quirks. TDL customizations. The realities of running Tally at Indian mid-market scale.

Tally FAQ

Questions Tally users actually ask.

No. Default connection is read-only. Write-back actions happen through a separate permission tier you control per user. Every write action is logged.

We've never broken a Tally instance, and our write-back operations use Tally's own ODBC API - the same way your accountant's tools do.

Tally Prime 3.x and above - full native support.

Tally.ERP 9- read access fully supported, write-back partially supported via voucher entry. If you're on Tally.ERP 9 and need write-back for a specific workflow, we'll evaluate during the POC.

If you're on a version older than Tally.ERP 9, we'll evaluate compatibility before starting a POC.

Default deployment: your Tally data is processed via secure ODBC connection to Kolossus servers in Mumbai/Bangalore. All data stays in India.

For regulated industries (healthcare, financial services, defense suppliers), we deploy Kolossus on-premise via our Nano LLM - your data never leaves your servers.

One-click setupif you're on TallyCloud, TallyAzure, or TallyAWS.

About 15-20 minutes if you run Tally on a local server. We walk you through ODBC driver setup during onboarding.

Most customers are running their first query within the first hour of the onboarding call.

That's the entire point. Your team types questions in plain English or Hindi. Kolossus translates into the right Tally queries.

The only "training" required is showing your team what kinds of questions Kolossus can answer. That's a 90-minute call, not a multi-day workshop.

Annual subscription model. Tier depends on number of users, query volume, and whether you need on-premise deployment.

Most standard mid-market customers fit our default tier.

POC is free for 14 days on your actual data - no credit card required.

We'd be sad, but we'd help you off cleanly. Your Tally data was never moved or copied - it stayed in your instance throughout.

Leaving Kolossus means turning off the connection. Your Tally is exactly as it was on day one. No vendor lock-in by design.

Yes, on our enterprise tier. We deploy our Nano LLM and the Kolossus application stack to your environment. Your IT team gets root access.

Your data never leaves your servers. This is the deployment model for regulated industries and customers with strict data residency requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does Kolossus cost?

Our Growth tier (which covers most of what a 150-500 person business needs) is ₹20,000–30,000/month. That’s ₹2.4–3.6L/year.

Is that expensive? Compared to what? If your finance team spends 8 hours a week on manual Tally reports, that’s ₹2L/year in analyst time alone. And that’s before counting the decisions made on stale data.
