Tradeloom vs Busy
Busy is installed accounting and inventory software; Tradeloom is web-based software for sales, purchase and stock, with Tally export for the books. If you want accounting and billing in one package on your own computers, Busy is built for that. If your team should work from a browser, with hosting, backups and support in one yearly fee, Tradeloom fits.
