ASVAThe best Tally collection software, compared honestly
If customers owe you money on credit and Tally is your books, a few tools can chase them on WhatsApp for you: ASVA, CredFlow, Takkada and Kenso among them. Here is what each is actually best at, side by side, so you pick the right one, not the loudest one.
Six things a credit business needs
Do not buy a tool just because it sends WhatsApp reminders. For getting overdue money back, these are the parts that matter.
1. Ageing
Automatic 0 to 30, 31 to 60, 61 to 90 and 90+ day buckets, so you see what is stuck.
2. Reminders on your own number
WhatsApp reminders from the number your customers already know, timed to each party's credit terms.
3. Promise-to-pay
When a customer says they will pay Friday, the tool records it and follows up if the money does not arrive.
4. Payment collection
A UPI pay link inside the reminder, so paying is one tap.
5. Reconciliation
The payment is matched back into Tally so your books stay the single source of truth.
6. Escalation and credit control
Firmer follow-ups as an invoice ages, and a flag when a customer's overdue exposure gets risky.

You do not have to switch anything
The most common thing we hear in a shop is "we already have Busy". Good. Keep it.
They are the accountant’s software
Busy, Marg and Tally are where the books live, and they are good at that. Their reminder feature sends a bulk message when somebody remembers to press the button. The chasing is still a person’s job.
ASVA is the owner’s side
It reads what you already have and does the chasing itself: one message per customer timed to their credit days, from your own WhatsApp number, replies understood, promises respected, payments caught. You do not open it most days.
Nothing changes in your books
No migration, no new way of billing, no retraining your accountant. ASVA reads your outstanding and writes back one thing, a receipt voucher, and only after you confirm the amount.
Which should you choose?
Choose ASVA
If your #1 problem is that customers owe you and you want it chased on WhatsApp, from your own number, without staff, and you want the AI to handle promises like pay Friday and keep Tally true. Best when collections is the job.
Choose Kenso
If credit decisions are your bigger risk: buyer verification, credit limits, risk scoring and heavy legal escalation across a large receivables book.
Choose Takkada / CredFlow
If you want a broader, established Tally operations suite and the widest UPI to bank to Tally reconciliation workflow, and are comfortable on their sender setup.
