"Can I see Tally from home?" is one of the most common questions Tally partners hear. There are three broad ways to do it. Each solves a different problem, and it helps to know which one you actually need.
Option 1: Remote desktop software
You install a remote-control app on the office PC and on your phone or laptop, and control the office PC from outside.
- Good for: an occasional fix, or using a Tally feature that is only on the desktop.
- Drawbacks: the office PC must be free — if your accountant is working, you are both fighting for the same mouse. Tally's screens are not designed for a phone. Every connection is a full login to the office computer, which is a security decision in itself.
Option 2: Hosting Tally on a cloud server
TallyPrime and its data are moved to a rented server, and everyone connects to that server.
- Good for: businesses where several people in different places must do data entry in the same company all day.
- Drawbacks: a monthly server cost, a change in how everyone works, and a dependence on the internet even for people sitting in the office.
Option 3: A web view of your Tally data
TallyPrime stays exactly where it is. A small connector sends a copy of your reports securely to the web, and you open them in any browser. This is how SwastikOne works.
- Good for: owners, partners, managers and accountants who need to see the business — sales, outstanding, stock, P&L — from anywhere, on any device.
- What it is not: it does not move your ledger to the cloud. Your team keeps using TallyPrime in the office as today.
With a Read & Write plan you can also raise vouchers from the web, and they post into TallyPrime — useful for a salesperson booking an order or a branch recording a receipt.
Which one should you choose?
| Your need | Best fit |
|---|---|
| Check reports from home, travel or a customer's office | Web view (SwastikOne) |
| Several people outside the office see reports at the same time | Web view, with a login for each person |
| Occasional fixes on the office PC | Remote desktop |
| Full data entry all day from many places | Cloud hosting |
Many businesses end up with a combination: TallyPrime in the office for entry, a web view for everyone who needs the numbers, and remote desktop kept for the rare support call.
What to ask before you choose
- Does it work on a phone screen, or only on a laptop?
- Does it interrupt the person using Tally in the office?
- Does every user get their own login, or is one password shared?
- Is data sent over an encrypted connection (HTTPS)?
- Does it need any change to your Tally licence or company?
