Quick answer

How should an MSME start digitising?

Start with the process that costs the most time or money, usually billing, stock or collections. Stack18 assesses how the business runs today, picks the first two or three processes to digitise, recommends affordable tools or Business OS, and trains staff so the system is used every day, not abandoned after a month.

Is digitisation expensive for a small business?

It does not have to be. Many MSMEs start with one process and a ready-made system from ₹2.8L one-time with no per-user fees, then add modules as the value shows.

Do we have to stop using Tally?

No. We can keep Tally for your CA and sync it with the new system, or migrate fully if you prefer.

Can our staff use it if they are not tech-savvy?

Yes. We design mobile-first screens, train in Hindi or English and support the floor for the first weeks.

Are there government schemes that help?

Several central and state schemes support MSME technology adoption. We can point you to the relevant ones; eligibility is decided by the scheme.

Do you provide MSME Digitisation Consulting across India?

Yes. Stack18 is headquartered in Jaipur, Rajasthan, and delivers MSME Digitisation Consulting for businesses across India, including Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Pune, Hyderabad and Ahmedabad. Work runs remotely with weekly demos, and on-site workshops are arranged for key milestones.
