Tally Solutions makes deeper inroads in Kenya

Helps companies in Kenya to achieve higher business efficiency, greater transparency and compliance with its comprehensive solutions portfolio.

Tally Solutions announced its growing customer traction in Kenya, with a total installed customer base of over 3,000 customers in Kenya. The company recently rolled out the latest release of its flagship product Tally. ERP 9 for the Kenya market, and has been focusing on growth in Africa.

There are over 10,000 enterprises in Africa who are currently using Tally software for a variety of accounting & business management functions. In Kenya, Tally Solutions caters to customers across industry verticals, including Manufacturing, Retail Trading and Construction. The company set up its overseas office at Nairobi in August 2014 supporting a robust network of 74 authorised Tally Partners in the region.

Tally Solutions signed on another customer in the Jotun Group, a global Norwegian chemicals major dealing mainly with paints and coatings. The company recently implemented Tally.ERP 9, for its regional operations in Kenya and reaped significant benefits in terms for greater business efficiency. Jotun has adorned several famous landmarks around the world, including the Eiffel Tower in Paris, Burj Khalifa in Dubai and Marina Bay Sands in Singapore.

“Our experience of implementing Tally.ERP 9 in Kenya has been fantastic. Tally.ERP 9 easily fitted our needs; it was an extremely easy-to-operate software and an economically viable solution,” said K.R. Rao, Regional IT Manager (MEIA), Jotun UAE Ltd. “Tally.ERP9 gave us the flexibility to adapt to the local and legal needs of the region. Also some of the existing employees in Jotun’s finance team were already aware of the product’s functionalities. This proved to be an additional asset to the company. Even the roll-out was extremely seamless and became operational as per plan,” he added further.

Jotun, with its presence in more than 90 countries and with 9500 employees, anticipated several business challenges when it made inroads into the African market. To address its local needs, Jotun was looking for a flexible ERP partner with a qualified solution that was flexible, easy to operate, and had minimal dependencies. The company adopted Tally.ERP 9 to manage the finance, logistics and supply chain operations of Jotun’s Kenya office, which was set up with the prompt help of Tally’s regional team at Dubai, and Infobit Computer Solutions, a Tally Partner in Dubai. Further to implementing Tally.ERP 9, Jotun could easily run both the Kenya and in-future Morocco sites remotely with their main server at Dubai.
