India has 40+ ERP vendors targeting SMBs. Here's how to pick.
Category 1: Legacy desktop (Tally, Busy, Marg)
Deep, capable, but desktop-first. Great if you have a dedicated ops team and stable staff.
Category 2: Cloud-native (Zoho Books, SaathiX ERP)
Modern UX, mobile-first, integrations. Best for growing businesses.
Category 3: Mobile-first (Vyapar, myBillBook)
Great for micro-SMBs, less depth for growth.
Category 4: Vertical (Marg for pharma, Petpooja for restaurants)
Deep vertical fit, less flexible.
