ERP Comparison Chart

The ERP software market encompasses many vendors, offering several diverse cloud ERP applications. Some of these ERP software companies have developed vertical solutions to meet specific industry requirements for retail, distribution, manufacturing and more. This matrix is designed to help your company facilitate the process of evaluating critical aspects of cloud-based ERP systems to choose the right solution that supports your unique requirements and business needs.

We have created five assessment categories on how we would classify certain functionality and industry alignment to support a given company profile. Please keep in mind that our assignment of a specific category is our opinion and not one validated by each of the software solutions represented in our document. Many software providers claim to address a wide variety of industry and functional needs. It is our goal to provide a nonbiased and objective viewpoint based on our years of experience working with a large variety of clients.

ERP and financial management solutions involve more than just software. Whatever your needs—managing multiple locations, merging new business, enhancing purchasing decision-making, managing inventory, handling complex accounting functions or migrating to the cloud—your ERP solution should help to improve processes and streamline operations. The process of implementing a new ERP system usually requires consultants with specialized knowledge of application and business processes.

A cloud solution may not require fees for software installation, but otherwise, the costs are very similar to an on-premises implementation. It is important to choose the right implementation partner who has worked with a significant number of CFOs and their teams and knows how to navigate complex challenges and drive strategic decision-making.
