Mumbai, February 16, 2021: The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic has had an adverse impact on the productivity of businesses across sectors mainly affecting Indian MSMEs. On the occasion of National Productivity Day created by the National Productivity Council and to kick-start National Productivity Week, Tally Solutions organised an insightful panel event in association with CIMSME and MSME Forum. Themed “Enhancing Productivity through Digital Transformation” the discussion put forth solutions, ideas and initiatives from industry leaders on how small and medium businesses can enhance productivity and restore their growth to pre-pandemic era.
Tally Solutions is one of the first organisations to lead conversations with reference to reengaging MSMEs through improved productivity. This webinar is the beginning of efforts that will aim to discuss productivity in the context of digital transformation. Businesses can utilise solutions such as digital collaboration tools and go beyond geographical barriers, enabling themselves to reconnect with the business environment and gain a strong footing once again.
“Tally Solutions has worked closely with MSMEs contributing towards digital transformation that has enabled them to ensure business continuity and boost productivity. One of the key parameters of this shift is digital collaboration using online tools for transactions that has gained momentum and helped businesses move beyond geographical boundaries during the pandemic. This is expected to continue even in the post-pandemic era with most businesses fully understanding the benefits of digital technologies to improve efficiency and productivity. Quick re-engagement of small business with the mainstream economy is essential. All of us need to work towards helping such businesses put the past year behind and quickly come back on their feet. At Tally, we are also investing heavily to innovate on connected solutions for ease of business and to support entrepreneurs in adopting e-invoicing under GST”, commented Joyce Ray, Head – India Business, Tally Solutions.

It is also our endeavour provide guidance and be the knowledge centre for MSMEs and start-ups by streamlining the processes and systems through computerisation, connectivity, visibility, transparency, predictability and adaptability to build business value, which can enhance productivity. This transformation can be achieved through Internet of Things, smart factory, horizontal and vertical integration etc.” noted Sh.
