Millingo vs Dataman Rice Soft (AAHAAR)
By Mithun K. Singh, Founder, Svasamm Research · 14 July 2026
If you're choosing rice-mill software, Dataman's Rice Soft (also marketed as AAHAAR) is one of the established options you'll come across, alongside Millingo. Both are built for Indian rice mills, but they emphasise different things. This is an honest, side-by-side look.
What Dataman Rice Soft (AAHAAR) is
Rice Soft, by Dataman Computer Systems Pvt Ltd, is a long-standing rice-mill package. It emphasises core mill business management: purchase (bargain/bill entry, gate pass), sales, production entry and reporting, inventory/stock registers, financial accounting (ledgers, P&L, TDS), quality control with lab testing and quality deductions, multi-location support, and GST.
What Millingo is
Millingo, by Svasamm Research, is a rice-mill ERP built specifically around the full milling workflow — including the government CMR cycle. It computes milling recovery per batch, books bran/husk/broken as separate stock and sales, handles paddy QC with butta deductions, gunny-bag accounting, and state-specific CMR reconciliation (West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Odisha, Bihar). Offered in Starter, Professional and Enterprise tiers.

'Stated' = listed on the vendor's public site; 'Not stated' means we didn't find it publicly (it may still exist — ask them).
| Capability | Millingo | Dataman Rice Soft |
|---|---|---|
| Purchase / sales / accounting / GST | Yes | Stated |
| Quality control / deductions | Yes (butta/moisture) | Stated (lab testing) |
| Multi-location / multi-unit | Yes (Enterprise) | Stated |
| Government CMR / levy cycle | Yes (core focus) | Not stated publicly |
| Per-batch milling recovery | Yes | Not stated publicly |
| By-product (bran/husk/broken) accounting | Yes | Not stated publicly |
| Weighbridge / kata-slip capture | Yes | Not stated publicly |
Which should you choose?
If your priority is well-rounded mill accounting, purchase/sales and GST from an established vendor, Rice Soft is a credible option — verify with Dataman whether it covers your government-milling needs. If your mill lives and dies by CMR compliance, out-turn reconciliation and per-batch recovery/by-product profitability, that is exactly what Millingo is built around.
