TallyPrime for trading companies in the UAE
Trading is an inventory business before it is an accounting business. TallyPrime is configured around stock, margin and receivables rather than the other way round.

01 / Overview
Overview
What trading businesses need from Tally
For a trading company the pressure sits on inventory and receivables. Stock has to be valued consistently, margin has to be visible per item rather than only in aggregate, and money owed has to be chased before it ages.
Import and export activity adds documentation and multi-currency handling on top, and businesses running more than one location need those figures consolidated rather than reconciled by hand.
BlackCat configures TallyPrime around that: inventory masters and valuation, outstanding receivables reporting, VAT-ready invoicing, and multi-branch consolidation where it applies.
02 / Audience
Who it is for
Who this covers
Import / export
Operations with landed-cost, documentation and multi-currency considerations.
Foodstuff and perfumes
Trading businesses with batch, expiry or high-SKU inventory characteristics.
03 / Problems
What it solves
Typical pain points
Stock figures nobody trusts
Physical counts that never agree with the system, so decisions get made on instinct.
Margin visible only at year end
Profitability per item or customer that cannot be seen while there is still time to act on it.
Receivables ageing quietly
Outstanding balances that are only reviewed when cash gets tight.
Branches reconciled manually
Separate data sets consolidated in a spreadsheet every month.
