[05] Implementation

WE'VE GOT ANSWERS.
Everything You Need To Know About OneBook As A Business
For Partners
01.
I'm currently on Tally/Zoho. Will switching disrupt my finance team?
No. We support Embedded Accounting. Your operations team gets a unified ERP for inventory, production, and CRM, while your accountant can continue using the Tally format they love via our optional Tally Format data export. You get operational control; they get compliance comfort.
02.
Is my data secure on an Open Source platform?
Yes. OneBook runs on managed Azure Kubernetes with SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, and HIPAA compliance. Your data is encrypted at rest and in transit, with role-based access controls and regular security audits.
03.
How long does it take to go live?
Most companies go live in 8–12 weeks. We scope the project upfront, migrate your data cleanly, train your team properly, and run process mining after launch to catch issues early.
04.
Why don't you charge per user like Zoho or SAP?
Per-user pricing is a tax on growth. When your warehouse team needs access, you shouldn't have to calculate ROI per login. OneBook charges by tier, not by headcount — so your whole team can use it.
05.
Can I keep using Tally for accounting?
Absolutely. Our native 2-Way Tally Sync lets your accountant stay on Tally while your operations team runs on OneBook. No double data entry, no disruption.
06.
What if it doesn't work for us?
We offer a 30-day free trial and a lifetime warranty. If OneBook doesn't fit your business after implementation, we'll help you migrate back — no lock-in, no penalties.
