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 so you can decide which fits your mill.
This comparison is based on each vendor's publicly available information as of July 2026. Software changes — always confirm current features directly with the vendor before deciding.
What Dataman Rice Soft (AAHAAR) is
Rice Soft, by Dataman Computer Systems Pvt Ltd, is a long-standing rice-mill package. Its website 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. It's a solid choice for running the day-to-day accounting and trading side of a mill.
What Millingo is
Millingo, by Svasamm Research, is a rice-mill ERP built specifically around the full milling workflow — including the government Custom Milled Rice (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 the state-specific CMR reconciliation (West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Odisha, Bihar workflows). It's offered in Starter, Professional, and Enterprise tiers.

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, so it's worth a direct look.
