Client overview
A V Motors, a division of Tholia Motors Private Limited, is an Indian automobile dealership handling vehicle sales, service and the vendor and customer accounts that come with them.
Business challenges
A dealership generates invoices, vendor bills and collections every day, and A V Motors was running all of it through Tally with no cloud access and no live picture of where the money was.
- Accounting held in Tally, reachable only from the machine it ran on
- Invoicing, billing and collections handled manually, so receivables aged quietly
- No real-time view of financial health or cash flow for management
- Vendor payments and reconciliations with limited internal control
- Customer and vendor data scattered rather than held centrally
- GST compliance and audit-ready reporting assembled after the fact
What they needed
- One cloud accounting system covering sales, purchases, banking and GST
- Historical Tally data migrated, validated and reconciled before go-live
- Accurate, timely invoicing with visible collections
- Controlled vendor payment and reconciliation workflow
- A single customer and vendor master
- Audit-ready reporting available on demand
Our solution
Kelevo implemented Zoho Books as the centralised cloud accounting system for A V Motors and moved the Tally history across through a controlled, validated migration.
- Sales — estimates, sales orders, invoices and payments received, so collections are visible rather than assumed
- Purchases — purchase orders, vendor bills and payments made, with approval and reconciliation control
- Banking — bank feeds, reconciliation and transfers handled inside the ledger
- Inventory — items, stock tracking and adjustments where the dealership needed them
- Chart of accounts and GST — configured for compliant bookkeeping and filing
- Tally migration — assessment, field mapping, transformation, native import, then validation, reconciliation and user acceptance testing before go-live
Key features delivered
- Cloud ledger The books are reachable from anywhere, not one machine.
- Reconciled migration Data integrity checks and reconciliation before anyone relies on it.
- Bank feeds Reconciliation against live bank data.
- GST-compliant bookkeeping Filing driven from the same records as the invoices.
- Single customer and vendor master One version of every account.
- Hypercare and managed service Fifteen days of hypercare plus 25 hours of ongoing support.
