Proactiq OS is an AI-powered all-in-one business operating system built for Indian SMBs and enterprises. It combines 18 modules — CRM, HR, Payroll, Finance, GST, Projects, Helpdesk, Marketing, LMS, Procurement, Inventory, Documents, Workflow Automation, Contracts, Field Service, Business Intelligence, Collaboration, and an AI Command Brain — in a single platform. Pricing starts free and scales to ₹12,999/month for unlimited users.

Is Proactiq GST compliant?

Yes. Proactiq natively handles GST-compliant invoicing with automatic CGST/SGST/IGST splits, HSN/SAC code suggestions, GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B preparation, ITC reconciliation, e-invoicing (IRN generation for businesses above ₹5 crore turnover), and e-way bill generation. No add-ons required.

Does Proactiq handle Indian payroll — PF, ESIC, and Professional Tax?

Yes. Proactiq's payroll module is built for Indian compliance. It automatically calculates Employee Provident Fund (PF at 12% of basic salary, capped at ₹15,000 wage ceiling), ESIC (for employees earning up to ₹21,000 gross — 0.75% employee and 3.25% employer contribution), state-specific Professional Tax (Karnataka, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Telangana and others), and TDS under Section 192 with investment declarations. It exports ECR files for the EPFO portal and generates ESIC and PT challan data.

What is the pricing for Proactiq?

Proactiq offers four plans, all priced in INR with no per-user fees: Free (3 users, 1 module), Starter at ₹2,999/month (10 users, all 18 modules, AI Command Brain), Growth at ₹6,999/month (25 users, AI Autopilot with automations), and Business at ₹12,999/month (unlimited users, full AI autonomy, SSO). Annual plans are available at a 20% discount.

What is the best Zoho One alternative in India?

Proactiq OS is the leading Zoho One alternative for Indian businesses. Unlike Zoho One (which is priced in USD and charges per user), Proactiq is priced in INR with no per-user fees, includes a free plan, and offers modules specifically built for Indian compliance — including GST-native invoicing, Indian payroll (PF, ESIC, PT), and a GST AI Assistant. Proactiq starts at ₹2,999/month for all 18 modules.

What is the best Tally alternative for growing companies?

Proactiq OS is a modern cloud-based alternative to Tally for growing Indian businesses. Unlike Tally, Proactiq combines accounting and GST filing with CRM, HR, payroll, projects, and helpdesk in one platform. It offers real-time collaborative access for multiple team members, AI-generated financial insights, and automated GST return preparation — features Tally does not offer natively.

ERP vs Accounting Software India 2026 — Which Does Your Business Need? — Proactiq Blog

When does your Indian business outgrow simple accounting software? How to know if you need a full ERP — and what the difference actually means for your team.

The question every growing Indian business faces

You started on Tally or Vyapar. It worked great for the first 2-3 years. Now you have 20+ employees, multiple clients, a sales team, HR headaches, and complex GST compliance. Your accountant tells you to "get better software."

But what does that actually mean? Do you need an ERP? What's the difference?

What accounting software does

Accounting software in India (Tally, Vyapar, Busy, QuickBooks) is designed to:

Record financial transactions

Generate GST-compliant invoices

Track accounts receivable and payable

Produce financial statements (Balance Sheet, P&L, Trial Balance)

File GST returns

It does NOT handle: CRM (sales pipeline), HR and payroll, project management, customer support, team collaboration, or business intelligence.

What an ERP does

ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) integrates ALL business functions:

Finance and accounting (same as accounting software, but integrated)

CRM and sales pipeline

HR, payroll, and attendance

Project and task management

Procurement and vendor management

Inventory and supply chain

Customer support and helpdesk

Analytics and reporting across all functions

The key difference: Everything talks to each other. A sales order becomes a delivery order becomes an invoice becomes an accounting entry — without manual data entry at each step.

Signs your business needs more than accounting software

1. Your sales team tracks leads in WhatsApp and Excel — missed follow-ups cost you deals

2. HR is a nightmare every month — payroll takes days because data is scattered

3. You don't know which projects are profitable — no link between delivery and billing

4. Customer complaints fall through the cracks — no proper helpdesk

5. You can't see a real-time P&L — reports take days because data needs to be pulled from multiple sources

Most businesses hit these signs between 10-30 employees.

The traditional ERP problem in India

For decades, the options were:

Tally/Busy: great for accounts, nothing else

SAP/Oracle: ₹50 lakh implementation + months of consultant time. For large enterprises only.

Zoho One: good product, but 50+ disconnected apps, per-user pricing, complex setup

This left a gap: growing Indian SMBs (10-200 employees) who needed more than Tally but couldn't afford SAP.

The modern solution: business OS

Proactiq OS is designed for this exact gap. It's not a traditional ERP with 18-month implementations. It's:

Live in 60 seconds with no setup required

Starts at ₹1,999/month (vs ₹50 lakh SAP implementations)

19 modules that actually talk to each other

AI that works across all modules (not siloed per app)

Native GST, Indian payroll, WhatsApp integration

The verdict: If you're asking "do I need an ERP?", you probably need a modern business OS. Proactiq OS is what we'd recommend for Indian SMBs up to 200 employees.
