Busy alternative with simple screens and a lifetime plan
LedgerKing is offline accounting and inventory software for Windows, made in India. It covers GST, e-invoice, e-way bill, TDS and stock, and it reads the Excel / CSV column names that Busy and Marg exports use, so moving your data is easy.
What businesses look for
Traders and distributors moving from one accounting package to another usually want the same core work done well, with less cost and less training:
- Quick voucher entry with the keyboard.
- Correct GST on every invoice, and return files ready for the portal.
- Inventory with batches, godowns and stock value.
- Reports that a CA understands at once.
Importing from Busy or Marg exports
LedgerKing recognises the column names that Busy and Marg use in their Excel / CSV exports. Press Alt+X, choose the file, check the column matching and the preview, and import ledgers with opening balances, stock items or old vouchers. The import is all-or-nothing: if one row has a problem, nothing is saved until you fix it.
