The Verdict

Marg ERP is a solid general accounting tool built for the desktop era. But it was never designed for jewellery — there's no HUID tracking, no karigar weight reconciliation, no WhatsApp integration, and no mobile app. Every modern feature Indian jewellers need in 2026 is either missing or a costly add-on.

SoniERP was built from scratch for one industry: Indian jewellers. Every feature — from BIS HUID verification to karigar wastage tracking to Girvi gold loan management — is included, not bolted on. And it costs less than Marg when you factor in AMC, add-ons, and server costs.
