Stop running RFQ-to-payment on email, Excel, and follow-up calls.

The full RFQ-to-payment workspace for Indian manufacturers. PO, dispatch, GRN, approval, and payment — every step on one shared live record. Without replacing email, WhatsApp, or Tally.

  • Works alongside Tally
  • Built for manufacturing workflows
  • RFQ-to-payment visibility
  • Two-sided buyer-supplier transparency
The execution gap

Your accounting is in Tally. Your operations are everywhere else.

Accounting is handled. The execution problem sits between teams and suppliers — across documents, approvals, follow-ups, and a dozen WhatsApp threads.

RFQs scattered across email and WhatsApp

Quotes live in chat threads and inboxes. Comparing vendors means scrolling, not deciding.

Supplier commitments tracked manually

Promised dates sit in someone's notebook. Nobody knows the next action without asking.

PO status depends on follow-up calls

If you don't call, you don't know. Every status update is a phone call to a sales rep.

Delivery delays surface too late

You find out when production stops, not when the truck didn't leave the supplier.

Quality rejections don't reach finance early

Accounts receives a clean invoice; the rejected lot is somewhere on the shop floor.

Management dashboards need manual Excel pulls

Weekly review = someone exports, copies, formats. The dashboard is always one week stale.

Built for

Built for manufacturers stuck between Excel and ERP.

Designed after mapping real procurement, supplier follow-up, GRN, quality, and finance handover workflows in Indian manufacturing companies.

This is for you if
  • You use Tally for accounting
  • RFQs and quotes are scattered across email and WhatsApp
  • Supplier promised dates are manually tracked
  • PO status depends on follow-up calls
  • GRN, quality, and finance handover are disconnected
  • Management review depends on Excel status reports
  • You want supplier accountability without forcing every vendor into paid software

By role

Built around what each team actually does.

Procurement, operations, finance, management — each with the view that matters to their job, and suppliers in the loop on every step.

Procurement

Stop chasing supplier acknowledgements by phone. Every RFQ, quote, PO, and promised date in one queue with named owners.

Operations

Stop waiting for material trucks that didn't leave the factory. Live dispatch, vehicle, e-way bill, and GRN — pushed by the supplier.

Finance

Stop discovering MSME 45-day breaches at audit time. Live invoice readiness, payment blockers, and MSME aging — flowing into Tally.

Management

Stop asking five people for status. Delayed suppliers, open orders, stuck approvals, and cash-impacting bottlenecks — live.

Suppliers

Stop chasing the buyer's GRN result on email. Respond to RFQs, acknowledge POs, share dispatch — and see results directly.

End-to-end visibility

RFQ to payment — buyer and supplier in sync.

Every step has a status, an owner, a document, a date, and an audit history. Buyer sees the internal workflow. Supplier responds and updates from the same timeline.

Where TradeOps fits

Not an ERP replacement. The execution layer your ERP usually misses.

ERP and accounting systems record transactions. TradeOps manages the day-to-day coordination before, during, and after those transactions — across buyers, suppliers, customers, procurement, operations, quality, and finance.

Outcomes

What changes after TradeOps.

Operational gains the team feels in the first month — without overclaiming revenue or savings.

1
Fewer missed supplier commitments Promised dates, owners, reminders, and delays are visible on every PO.
2
Less procurement chasing Supplier acknowledgement, dispatch updates, and follow-ups move into a structured queue.
3
Earlier delay visibility Know which supplier, item, PO, and dispatch is at risk before it hits production.
4
Cleaner GRN–quality–finance handover Receipt, rejection, invoice readiness, and payment blockers stay connected.
5
Live management visibility Owners see delayed suppliers, open orders, stuck approvals, and bottlenecks without Excel reporting.
6
Reduced dependency on individuals Workflow history stays in the system, not in one person's phone or inbox.
7
Better supplier accountability Every commitment, update, rejection, and response has a date, owner, and audit trail.
Example: one delayed dispatch, five teams aligned

A supplier misses the promised dispatch date. Procurement sees the delay. Operations sees material risk. Quality sees pending GRN. Finance sees the payment blocker. Management sees the supplier impact — all from the same record, in the same minute, without a single follow-up call.

Implementation

Start without disrupting your existing systems.

  1. 1
    Map your current RFQ-to-payment workflow

    We sit with your team and document how things actually run today — across procurement, ops, quality, and finance.

  2. 2
    Configure TradeOps around your process

    Roles, approval matrices, voucher series, GST conventions — set up to match how your office works.

  3. 3
    Import vendors, customers, items, open orders

    Bring in master data and in-flight POs so the team starts where they left off, not at zero.

  4. 4
    Connect with Tally where needed

    Pick a push mode (file / connector / direct), map your ledgers, test on a few invoices.

  5. 5
    Train each team

    Procurement, operations, quality, finance, management — short sessions per role, not generic demos.

  6. 6
    Go live in phases

    Start with one workflow (typically RFQ-to-PO), measure adoption, then expand. No big-bang cutover.

Pricing

Pricing that matches your workflow complexity.

Start with your biggest workflow pain, then expand across teams, suppliers, and locations. Final pricing depends on team size, integrations, and onboarding — your workflow audit settles it.
