Accounting and inventory software, sold in Oman through a Muscat dealer

TallyPrime from Tally Solutions is accounting, inventory and invoicing software, sold as Silver for a single user and Gold for multiple users on monthly, yearly or lifetime licences; Tally says 2.7M+ businesses use it. Its Middle East site covers UAE and Saudi VAT only, but Times of Oman reported a VAT-ready release for Oman in March 2021.
