Multi-branch businesses

One Tally company for head office and every branch

When Tally runs on a cloud server, head office, branch offices and your accountant all open the same live company over the internet, so a sale entered at a branch is visible at head office straight away — no end-of-day export, import or merge. Airmax Tally Cloud hosts your licensed TallyPrime, sets up access for each location and backs the data up every day.

Who connects, and how

  1. 1

    Head office

    Opens Tally from its own desktops through a Remote Desktop shortcut and a one-time password — the same company data every branch uses.

  2. 2

    Each branch

    Signs in the same way over its own internet connection. There is no VPN between offices to set up or maintain.

  3. 3

    Your accountant or auditor

    Gets their own login to the same company, instead of waiting for backups.

  4. 4

    The owner on the move

    Checks reports from a laptop, a Mac or a phone, wherever they are.

Printing at every location

Cloud printing maps the printer at each location into that person's session, so an invoice raised at a branch prints at that branch, not at head office or in the data centre. Printers and barcode scanners are set up once, during onboarding.

Sizing it: logins and sessions

The plan price covers one concurrent session. When several people across your locations need to be in Tally at the same time, extra concurrent sessions are added (60% of the plan's yearly rate each, plus GST; up to 5 online, more on a business quote). We work out the right number with you from how your branches actually work — see Tally Cloud pricing for the details.

What each location needs

  • A stable internet connection. Only screen updates and keystrokes travel, so a steady 2 Mbps link does better than a faster one that keeps dropping.
  • A device with a Remote Desktop client — built into Windows, a free download for Mac, Linux, Android and iOS.
  • A Tally licence that covers the number of people who will work in Tally at the same time. We check this with you before migrating.

The honest caveat: a branch with unreliable internet cannot work while it is offline. If one location has a poor connection, sort that out first — a second connection or a mobile data backup is usually enough.
