Common Uses & Strengths
- Cloud-native ERP: designed from the ground up for cloud deployment and remote access
- Industry editions: distribution, manufacturing, construction, retail, and services
- Unlimited users: licensing based on resource usage rather than seat count
- Strong inventory and operations: real-time inventory, demand planning, and fulfillment
- Open platform: robust APIs and customization via the xRP framework
Modern UI and reporting: browser-based interface with embedded analytics
Key Considerations
- Implementation quality matters: flexibility requires disciplined configuration and process design
- Customization governance: the open platform can create complexity if not documented and controlled
- Partner ecosystem: success depends heavily on partner experience in your industry
- Integration planning: ecommerce, WMS, payroll, and CRM integrations should be architected early
- Change management: adoption improves dramatically with structured training and internal ownership
Common Needs & Challenges
- Outgrowing legacy or on-premise ERP systems
- Needing real-time visibility across inventory, projects, and financials
- ERP licensing models that penalize growth and user adoption
- Over-customized systems with limited documentation
