The panel's verdict
Exact Online is a cloud ERP for SMEs from Exact GmbH of Cologne, strongest on the goods side: orders and inventory scored 7-8 and production and projects 7-8, with judges citing multiple warehouses, serial and batch numbers, a mobile WMS app with barcode scanning, and bills of materials through multi-level and phantom forms to MRP in higher editions. Its weakest column is pricing transparency at 2: the captured pricing pages show the four-edition ladder — Essentials, Plus, Professional, Premium — but we found no price figure, scaling rule, contract term or implementation fee, and the Premium editions are sold through a partner channel. Integration and portability scored 3-4, with no public information on a documented API, webhooks or a full export on exit, and finance and compliance scored 4-5, with no public information on GoBD compliance, a DATEV export or e-invoice formats. Rollout and operations sits at 4 and sovereignty at 3-4, the privacy policy relying on Standard Contractual Clauses for transfers outside the EEA. Scores diverge by at most one point per criterion; persona-weighted totals span 4.1 to 5.7.
Speaks for it
- Orders and inventory scored 7-8, with multiple warehouses, serial and batch numbers and a mobile WMS app with barcode scanning documented.
- Manufacturing depth is documented edition by edition, from work orders to multi-level and phantom bills of materials, by-products and Material Requirements Planning.
- Bookkeeping, bank feeds, invoicing, automatic invoice processing and receivables management are named modules, with an offering for tax advisers and accounting offices.
- The contracting entity is documented precisely as Exact GmbH in Cologne, registered at the Cologne local court under HRB 93414.
- A free trial is offered, an FAQ invites contact, a Service Level Agreement is referenced in the terms, and 2,000 experts are named as help.
Held against it
- Pricing transparency scored 2, with no price figure, per-user scaling rule, contract term or implementation fee on the captured pages and the Premium editions sold through a partner channel.
- Integration and portability scored 3-4, with no public information on a documented API, webhooks or a full data export on exit.
- We found no public information on GoBD compliance, a DATEV export, or e-invoice formats such as XRechnung and ZUGFeRD.
- Sovereignty scored 3-4, the privacy policy relying on Standard Contractual Clauses for transfers outside the EEA, with no public information on hosting location or subprocessors.
- Rollout and operations scored 4, with no public information on user roles and permissions, an audit log, implementation durations or availability figures.
Best for
- You run purchasing, sales and stock across several warehouses and want barcode-driven picking documented out of the box.
- You manufacture with bills of materials and work orders and want planning depth up to MRP in the higher editions.
- You want bookkeeping, bank feeds and invoicing alongside the goods chain, with a dedicated offering for your tax adviser.
Avoid if
- You need to compute an annual cost from published prices before shortlisting — the Premium editions are quoted through a partner channel.
- You must wire the ERP to your own systems through a documented API or export all data when you leave.
- Your close process requires documented GoBD compliance, a DATEV export or e-invoice formats such as XRechnung or ZUGFeRD.
- You must confirm where the ERP data is hosted and which subprocessors are involved before signing, given the privacy policy's reliance on Standard Contractual Clauses for transfers outside the EEA.

How this is scored
Whether the ERP keeps books a tax adviser and an auditor accept: general and subledgers, VAT per country, GoBD-compliant posting and archiving, e-invoices sent and received (XRechnung, ZUGFeRD), payments and dunning, and a DATEV export or a documented hand-over to the accountant.
0 — No accounting at all; invoices leave as PDFs and the books are kept somewhere else by hand.
3 — Invoices and credit notes are created in the system, but there is no ledger, no stated GoBD compliance and no export the accountant can import.
5 — Invoices, open items and payments in the system with a DATEV or accounting export, VAT rates per item, dunning, and e-invoices in XRechnung or ZUGFeRD format sent to customers.
8 — Full financial accounting or a live-synchronised one: general, receivables and payables ledgers, incoming e-invoices read and matched to purchase orders, bank feeds with payment matching, OSS and reverse-charge VAT, GoBD compliance stated with a procedure documentation, and several companies in one tenant.
10 — The money side closes inside the system: an auditor's GoBD or IDW PS 880 attestation published, consolidation and intercompany postings across entities, fixed assets and cost accounting, every posting traceable to the order, goods movement and user behind it, and period close with locked periods documented.
The Managing Director
Bookkeeping, bank feeds, invoicing, automatic invoice processing and receivables management are named modules, and there is a dedicated offering for tax advisers and bookkeeping offices. But I found no public information on GoBD compliance, a DATEV export, e-invoice formats like XRechnung or ZUGFeRD, or dunning — and my accountant will ask for exactly that before I sign anything. 2 3 4
The Head of Finance
The feature pages name accounting, bank feeds, invoicing, automatic invoice processing and receivables management, with bookkeeping in the Professional and Premium editions, a Smart Closing module in Premium, and a dedicated offering for tax advisers and accounting offices for collaboration with clients — that covers invoices, open items, payments and a hand-over to the accountant. But we found no public information on GoBD compliance, a DATEV export, XRechnung or ZUGFeRD formats, OSS or reverse-charge VAT, incoming invoices matched to purchase orders, or several companies in one tenant, so I cannot close the books on a higher level. 2 3 4
The Operations Lead
Accounting is presented as a core module — bookkeeping, bank feeds, invoicing, receivables management, automated invoice processing and a dedicated offering for tax advisers — so books and banking clearly live in the product. But we found no public information on ledgers, GoBD compliance, VAT per country, dunning, e-invoice formats like XRechnung or ZUGFeRD, or an export the accountant can import, so I cannot confirm the money side closes to a standard my auditor accepts. 2 3 4
The Online Retailer
The captured pages show a genuine accounting core: Buchhaltung, bank feeds, invoicing, automatic invoice processing and receivables management are named as modules, with an offering for tax advisers and accounting offices and a Smart Closing function reserved for Premium. But we found no public information on OSS or country-specific VAT, GoBD, e-invoice formats or a DATEV export — exactly what I would need for cross-border marketplace sales. 2 3 4
The IT Integrator
Accounting, invoicing, bank feeds, receivables management and automatic invoice processing are named features, with a dedicated solution for tax advisers and bookkeeping offices and bookkeeping modules per edition. But we found no public information on GoBD compliance, a DATEV or accounting export, or e-invoice formats such as XRechnung and ZUGFeRD — the hand-over to our accountant is not something I can verify from these pages. 2 3 4
The Skeptic
The captured pages show accounting, bank feeds, invoicing, receivables management and automatic invoice processing, plus a dedicated product for tax advisers and bookkeeping offices — real bookkeeping, in other words. We found no public information on GoBD compliance, a DATEV or accountant export format, VAT treatment, dunning or e-invoice formats such as XRechnung and ZUGFeRD, so what an auditor will accept stays open. 2 3 4
Purchasing, inventory & order processing
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
The goods chain from supplier to customer: quotes, orders and order confirmations, purchasing and goods receipt, stock per warehouse and bin, batch and serial numbers, picking and shipping, returns — and whether each step posts through to the next document and to the ledger instead of being retyped.
0 — No order or stock handling; the product is a contact list or an invoicing tool.
3 — Items with a stock count and an order list, but purchasing, goods receipt and delivery are not connected and stock is corrected by hand.
5 — Quote, order, delivery note and invoice as one document chain, purchase orders with goods receipt booking stock, and stock levels with reorder points per item.
8 — Several warehouses and storage bins, batch and serial number tracking, mobile picking and scanning, carrier and shop or marketplace connections, returns with restocking and credit note, drop shipping, and stock valuation that flows into the books.
10 — The goods chain runs and is evidenced in the system: demand-driven purchasing proposals, EDI with suppliers and customers, fulfilment and multi-channel stock allocation, best-before and recall traceability per batch from supplier to customer, and every movement attributed and dated.
The Managing Director
This is squarely built for my world: purchasing and sales management with stock control from the entry edition upward, multiple warehouses, batch and serial numbers, variable storage locations, a mobile warehouse app with barcode scanning, efficient order picking and picking-route optimisation for wholesalers, plus a webshop connector, a point-of-sale add-on and material planning at the top editions. I found no public information on returns with restocking and credit notes, or on how stock valuation flows into the books. 1 2 3 4
The Head of Finance
The trade editions publicly document multiple warehouses, variable storage locations, serial and batch numbers, a mobile WMS app with barcode scanning, efficient order picking, purchase and sales management, and a webshop connector plus POS add-on, with material requirements planning and stock reservations in the top editions. We found no public information on returns with restocking and credit note, drop shipping, carrier connections, or stock valuation flowing into the books, which keeps it one step below the top of the goods chain. 1 2 3
The Operations Lead
The goods chain is documented edition by edition: purchasing and sales management with stock, several warehouses, serial and batch numbers, variable storage locations, a mobile warehouse app with barcode scanning, efficient order picking and material planning up to advanced MRP, plus a webshop coupling add-on — that is scanner-driven goods handling and demand-driven purchasing, exactly what I run my warehouses on. The captured pages show nothing on returns with restocking and credit note, carrier connections, drop shipping or stock valuation flowing into the books. 1 2 3 4
The Online Retailer
The feature tables evidence multiple warehouses, serial and batch numbers, variable storage locations, a mobile WMS app with barcode scanning and efficient order picking, plus purchasing and sales management, with a webshop connection as an add-on. What held it back for my Shopware-plus-marketplace operation: we found no public information on marketplace connections, a returns flow with restocking and credit note, or drop shipping. 1 3 4
The IT Integrator
The trade and manufacturing pages document a connected goods chain: purchase and sales management, multiple warehouses, serial and batch numbers, variable storage locations, a mobile WMS app with barcode scanning, efficient order picking and a webshop connector add-on, with material planning at the higher tiers. We found no public information on returns with restocking, drop shipping or supplier EDI, which is exactly where my supplier's EDI would have to hook in. 1 3 4
The Skeptic
The trade edition ladder documents purchasing and sales management, multiple warehouses, variable storage locations, serial and batch numbers, a mobile WMS app with barcode scanning and efficient order picking, stock reservations, and a webshop connector as an add-on. We found no public information on returns with restocking, drop shipping, carrier connections or stock valuation flowing into the books. 1 3 4
Manufacturing, services & projects
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
The depth for the buyer's own business model: bills of materials, work orders and capacity planning for manufacturers; projects, time, resources and milestone billing for service firms; contracts, subscriptions and field service. A product is judged on the models it says it serves.
0 — Nothing beyond trading goods; no bills of materials, projects or service billing.
3 — A simple kit or set of items, or a project tag on invoices, but no production orders, no time recording and no planning.
5 — For at least one model a working core: bills of materials with production orders consuming stock, or projects with time recording and billing from logged hours, with the supported models named on the vendor's pages.
8 — Multi-level bills of materials with routings, work centres and capacity planning, or projects with budgets, resource planning, milestone and recurring billing, and service or maintenance contracts — with costs flowing to cost accounting.
10 — Industry depth documented for the models served: MRP runs with material and capacity planning, shop-floor data capture and quality checks, variant configuration, or full professional-services automation with utilisation, contracts and revenue recognition — each described with its limits in public documentation.
The Managing Director
The production line is documented edition by edition — bills of materials, work orders, multi-level and phantom bills, by-products, production planning and MRP — which is genuine depth for a mid-sized manufacturer. Projects get a single line about billable hours, and I found no public information on routings, work centres, capacity planning or service contracts. 1 2 4
The Head of Finance
For manufacturing the pages name multi-level and phantom bills of materials, by-products, work orders planned and executed, material requirements planning, sales forecast with production plan, and calculation, planning and production as a named focus — real depth for the models served. We found no public information on routings, work centres or capacity planning, and on the services side only project management with billable hours is named, without budgets, milestone billing or resource planning. 1 2 4
The Operations Lead
Manufacturing depth is laid out clearly: bills of materials with work orders to plan and execute at entry level, then multi-level and phantom bills of materials, by-products, sales forecast with production plan and Material Requirements Planning higher up, with calculation, planning and production named on the vendor's German pages. We found no public information on routings, work centres and capacity planning, shop-floor data capture or quality checks, and project support appears only as project insight with billable hours. 1 2 4
The Online Retailer
The manufacturing depth is real and tiered: managing bills of materials, planning and executing work orders, multi-level and phantom bills of materials, by-products, sales forecast with production plan and Material Requirements Planning, up to advanced MRP; project management is evidenced only as insight and billable hours. We found no public information on routings, work centres or capacity planning, so it sits below the full depth tier. 1 2 4
The IT Integrator
For manufacturers the editions are documented in real depth — bills of materials including multi-level and phantom BOMs, by-products, work orders planned and executed, material requirements planning and production planning with sales forecast — and the target industries of production and trade are named. Project management appears only as insight and billable hours; we found no public information on routings, work centres, capacity planning or budgets and milestone billing. 1 2 4
The Skeptic
The manufacturing pages document multi-level bills of materials with work orders, by-products and phantom bills, sales forecasts with a production plan, and Material Requirements Planning up to an advanced MRP tier in Premium; a project line mentions billable hours. Routings, work centres, capacity planning and costs flowing to cost accounting are not stated on the captured pages. 1 2 4
Integration, API & data portability
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
How the ERP connects and how the data gets in and out: a public API reference, webhooks, standard connectors for shops, marketplaces, banks, payroll, DATEV and BI, data import from the previous system, and a documented full export when the company leaves.
0 — No API, no import and no export beyond printing.
3 — CSV import and export of some lists, a few named integrations, but no public API documentation and no full export.
5 — A documented REST or OData API, CSV or Excel import for master data and open items, and standard connectors to common shops, banks and DATEV.
8 — A public, versioned API reference covering all main objects with webhooks, a connector marketplace, a documented migration path from named predecessor systems, and a full data export of master data, documents and postings available to the customer.
10 — Open by design and evidenced: complete API coverage with sandbox tenants and rate limits stated, open data formats or open-source code, a contractual exit with export format and timeline, and self-hosting or on-premise as a documented alternative to the vendor's cloud.
The Managing Director
Named connectors exist — webshop, point of sale, and a Power BI connector in Premium — plus an app store for add-ons, and the trust centre points to customers exercising their rights under the EU Data Act. But I found no public information on a documented API, webhooks, a migration path from predecessor systems or a full export format, and for a company that has to leave its invoicing tool behind, that gap is what worries me. 3 4 8
The Head of Finance
The public pages name a webshop connector, a POS add-on, a Power BI connector in Premium and an app store, and the trust centre addresses Data Act portability rights. We found no public information on a public API reference, CSV or Excel import, a DATEV connector, a documented migration path from predecessor systems, or a documented full export when the company leaves. 1 3 4 8
The Operations Lead
A few named connections are documented — a webshop coupling, a point-of-sale add-on, a Power BI connector reserved for the top edition and an app store for more — and the trust centre points to a Data Act page about exercising data rights. We found no public information on a documented API, webhooks, importing master data from a previous system, or a full export when leaving. 3 4 8
The Online Retailer
There is an app store, a webshop connection, a point-of-sale add-on, a Power BI connector reserved for Premium, and bank feeds are named. But we found no public information on a documented API, webhooks, migration import from a predecessor system, or a full data export on exit — for a retailer pushing thousands of orders between systems, that silence matters. 3 4 6
The IT Integrator
There is an app store with POS, webshop coupling and a Power BI connector reserved for Premium, plus bank feeds and a trust page on Data Act rights, which covers some connections. But we found no public information on a public API reference, webhooks, a sandbox or a documented full export at contract end — the exact things I need to wire the shop, payroll, BI and bank to the ERP, so every integration would start as an unpriced unknown. 1 3 4 8
The Skeptic
Named integrations exist — webshop coupling, a POS add-on, an app store and a Power BI connector reserved for Premium — and the trust centre points to a Data Act page on exercising portability rights. We found no public API reference, no webhooks and no documented full data export or migration path on the captured pages, so how the data gets out again is unanswered. 3 6 8
Rollout, roles & operations
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
What it takes to go live and run the system: implementation path (self-service, vendor, partner network), onboarding and training, roles and permissions, audit log, updates and customisation that survive them, support channels and service levels, and availability.
0 — No information on implementation, roles, support or availability.
3 — A contact form and a help page, but no stated implementation path, no role model and no support terms.
5 — A described onboarding or implementation offer, user roles with permissions, a help centre with current documentation, and support channels with hours.
8 — Implementation methods with typical duration stated, a certified partner network or vendor services listed, fine-grained permissions with a change log, customisation without code that survives updates, and published service levels for support and availability.
10 — Operations are evidenced: a status page with uptime history, release notes and an update policy, a field-level audit trail, sandbox or test tenants, and support, training and implementation terms public enough to plan a go-live without a sales call.
The Managing Director
Distribution runs through a partner channel with two thousand experts named as ready to help, alongside a free trial, an FAQ with a contact option and a service level agreement referenced in the terms. I found no public information on implementation durations or methods, user roles and permissions, an audit log, availability figures or support hours — I could not plan a go-live from these pages. 1 3 6 7
The Head of Finance
The Premium editions are sold through a partner channel, two thousand experts are named as help, a free trial is offered, the FAQ invites contact, and the terms reference a Service Level Agreement. We found no public information on user roles and permissions, an audit log, implementation durations, availability figures or a status page, so go-live planning would still need a partner conversation. 1 3 6 7
The Operations Lead
A free trial, an FAQ with a contact option, roughly 2,000 experts and a partner channel distributing the Premium editions are stated, and the terms reference a Service Level Agreement. We found no public information on implementation durations, user roles and permissions, an audit log, or published service levels and availability figures, so I could not plan a go-live from these pages alone. 1 3 6 7

The Premium editions are sold through a partner channel with 2,000 experts named, a free trial exists and a Service Level Agreement is referenced in the terms.

How this is scored
Who the contracting entity and the parent company are, where the ERP data — customers, suppliers, prices, postings, employees — is hosted, and who the subprocessors are (cloud infrastructure, email, support tooling, AI features). Independently sourced by the sovereignty pipeline; an ERP holds a company's entire commercial record, so the ownership chain counts, not only the server location.
0 — Non-EU vendor and contracting entity, hosting unstated, subprocessors unnamed, and no data processing agreement offered.
3 — A privacy policy exists, but hosting location is unstated or non-EU and the processors behind the service are not named.
5 — EU hosting stated and an EU contracting entity, but parts of the chain (US hyperscaler, AI features, support or email tooling) run through non-EU providers without a stated safeguard.
8 — EU hosting on named infrastructure, EU contracting entity, subprocessors listed with locations, a data processing agreement offered, and an on-premise or EU-only hosting option stated.
10 — Sovereign end to end and evidenced: European ownership, entity, hosting and every subprocessor, data export and deletion documented, and a certification such as ISO 27001 or BSI C5 published rather than implied.
The Managing Director
The contracting entity is Exact GmbH in Cologne, registered with the Cologne court under a German VAT ID, and the privacy policy relies on Standard Contractual Clauses for transfers outside the EEA. But I found no public information on where the ERP data is hosted, who the subprocessors behind the service are, or the ownership chain — and a system holding my entire commercial record leaves me uneasy on that silence. 5 7
The Head of Finance
The legal notice names Exact GmbH in Cologne with a Cologne commercial register number and a German VAT ID, so the contracting entity is European, and a privacy policy exists stating that transfers outside the EEA rely on adequacy decisions or standard contractual clauses. We found no public information on where the ERP data is hosted, on the group ownership behind the German entity, on the subprocessors involved, on a data processing agreement, or on a certification such as ISO 27001 or BSI C5. 1 5 7
The Operations Lead
The contracting entity is documented precisely — Exact GmbH of Cologne, registered at the local court under HRB 93414 — and the privacy policy relies on Standard Contractual Clauses for transfers outside the EEA. We found no public information on where the ERP data is hosted, which subprocessors run behind the service, the ownership chain, or a data processing agreement. 1 5 7 8
The Online Retailer
The contracting entity is Exact GmbH in Cologne, registered at the Cologne local court with a German VAT number, and the trust centre publishes a security section and a Data Act page. But the privacy policy relies on Standard Contractual Clauses for transfers outside the EEA, and we found no public information on where the ERP data is hosted, the parent company or the subprocessors — an unnamed chain is not good enough for a company's entire commercial record. 1 5 7 8
The IT Integrator
The contracting entity is verifiably German — Exact GmbH in Cologne with a commercial register number and VAT ID — and the privacy statement says transfers outside the EEA rely on adequacy decisions or Standard Contractual Clauses. But the captured pages state nothing about where ERP data is hosted and name no subprocessors or parent company, so I cannot tell my CISO where our prices, postings and employee data actually sit. 1 5 7
The Skeptic
The contracting entity is Exact GmbH of Cologne with a commercial register entry and a German VAT ID, and the privacy statement says transfers outside the EEA rest on adequacy decisions or Standard Contractual Clauses — which itself signals data leaving Europe. Hosting location, subprocessors, the ownership chain behind the German entity and any certification are not stated on the captured pages, so where a company's entire commercial record physically sits is unknown to a buyer. 1 5 7
Pricing transparency
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Whether a company can compute the real annual cost from public pages alone: price per user, module, company or transaction volume, which modules (accounting, warehouse, production, POS) cost extra, implementation and onboarding fees, minimum term, and what happens to the data on cancellation.
0 — No public prices at all; every customer is a sales call or a partner proposal.
3 — A starting price or "from" figure exists, but what is included and how it scales with users, modules or companies is unclear.
5 — Prices per edition or module are public with the main inclusions, but at least one commonly needed piece (implementation, extra companies, warehouse or production module, API use) is unpriced or "on request".
8 — Every edition and module priced publicly with its scaling rule (per user, company or volume), onboarding and implementation packages priced, minimum term and VAT treatment stated.
10 — Complete price computability: annual cost derivable for a given company size and module set, with every add-on, implementation, support and hosting cost and the cancellation and data-return terms published.
The Managing Director
The captured pricing pages show a clear edition ladder — Essentials, Plus, Professional, Premium — with exactly which functions and add-ons belong where, but the captured pages show no price figure, and the Premium editions are sold through a partner channel. I cannot compute an annual cost from these pages, and that is precisely what I need to plan before signing. 1 3 4
The Head of Finance
Public pricing pages compare the Essentials, Plus, Professional and Premium editions feature by feature, including which modules such as Automate, HQ, the Power BI connector and Smart Closing belong to which edition. But we found no public information on actual price figures per edition or per user, implementation and onboarding fees, minimum term, VAT treatment, or what happens to the data on cancellation, so no annual cost can be computed from the public pages alone. 3 4
The Operations Lead
The captured feature-and-price pages map modules to four editions for trade and for manufacturing, and a free trial exists, but no price figure, per-user scaling rule, contract term or implementation fee appears anywhere we read, and the Premium editions are sold through a partner channel. I cannot compute an annual cost from these pages. 1 3 4
The Online Retailer
The captured pricing pages show a four-edition ladder and which module sits where — warehouse functions, MRP, Power BI and Smart Closing are reserved for the higher tiers — but no price figure, scaling rule, contract term or implementation fee appears on the captured pages, and the Premium editions are sold through a partner channel. From these pages alone I cannot compute my annual cost. 1 3 4
The IT Integrator
The pricing pages lay out clearly what each edition includes — Essentials through Premium, with serial numbers, multiple warehouses, MRP, Power BI connector, Automate and Smart Closing reserved for higher tiers — but no price figure, scaling rule, minimum term or implementation fee appears anywhere in the captured pages. The Premium editions are distributed through the partner channel, so the tiers we would need are quoted by partners rather than published. 1 3 4
The Skeptic
The Dutch feature-and-price pages lay out the edition ladder from Essentials to Premium with what each tier includes and which modules are Premium-only, and a free trial exists, but we found no price figures on the captured pages — nothing per user or per edition, no implementation fees, no minimum term and no cancellation terms. The Premium editions are distributed through a partner channel, which points to proposals rather than an annual cost a company can compute itself. 1 3 4 7

Where this could be wrong
- Evidence ages. The oldest capture behind this page is from 26 Oct 2026. Vendors change pricing and policies without notice; every fact reflects its source as of the capture date shown in the registry.
- AI can misread a source. Extraction and judgement are automated; a citation guarantees traceability, not infallibility. If something here is wrong, say so — no account needed, every report is decided within 5 business days, and accepted corrections are published.
What we left out
A claim that does not survive our checks costs us the claim, not the page. This is what was taken off this one.
