The panel's verdict
Haufe X360 is a cloud ERP for the German Mittelstand from Haufe-Lexware GmbH & Co. KG in Freiburg, running on Microsoft Azure on the platform of US technology partner Acumatica, with the data centre stated to be in Germany. Strongest is production and projects, scoring 8 to 9: multi-level bills of materials, MRP with automatic replenishment, shop-floor data capture and quality management. Orders and inventory scores 7 to 8 on real-time stock and the Shopify, Shopware, Amazon and DHL connectors; finance and compliance clusters at 7, with GoBD-conform bookkeeping, a DATEV export and an Elster link, but judges found no public information on OSS or reverse-charge handling. The weak spots cluster tightly: pricing transparency at 4 — non-binding figures from 'ab 171,- EUR monatlich je Nutzer' plus a 449 Euro monthly minimum, with per-module prices and the minimum term not published — and sovereignty at 5, on US Cloud Act exposure from the Azure and Acumatica chain. Integration and portability and rollout and operations run 6 to 7. The flagged splits flag no split; scores vary by at most one point.
Speaks for it
- Production and projects scores 8 to 9 on documented multi-level bills of materials with revision control, MRP with automatic replenishment, shop-floor data capture and a quality management module.
- Finance covers the full ledger suite — general ledger, payables, receivables, banking, fixed assets, taxes and holding structures — with GoBD-conform bookkeeping, a DATEV export and Elster VAT filing.
- Orders and inventory scores 7 to 8 on real-time stock from goods receipt through picking, batch and serial tracking, mobile barcode scanning, dropshipping, and Shopify, Shopware, Amazon and DHL connectors carrying returns and partial deliveries.
- Go-live runs through 26 certified ERP partners with Gold, Silver and certified levels, on role-based access, audit tracking and 99 percent availability on an ISO 27001 certified cloud.
- Migration from weclapp, xentral and SAP Business ByDesign is documented, with custom connections via REST and SOAP APIs and a connector catalogue marking certified solutions.
Held against it
- Pricing transparency clusters at 4 — sample figures are marked non-binding, per-module prices and the minimum term are not published, and implementation costs are stated to vary by customer and industry.
- Sovereignty clusters at 5 — the platform runs on Microsoft Azure and is built on the platform of US technology partner Acumatica, with US Cloud Act exposure regardless of the German data-centre region.
- We found no public information on a subprocessor list for the ERP service, a data processing agreement, or an EU-only or on-premise option.
- We found no public information on a public API reference with webhooks, or on a documented full export of master data, documents and postings when a company leaves.
- We found no public information on OSS or reverse-charge VAT handling, a GoBD procedure documentation, typical implementation duration, support hours and service levels, or a status page.
Best for
- You are a Mittelstand manufacturer needing multi-level bills of materials, MRP with automatic replenishment and shop-floor data capture that post into finance, sales and purchasing.
- You sell through Shopify, Shopware or Amazon and need orders, stock, returns and partial deliveries carried both ways with real-time stock.
- You are switching from weclapp, xentral or SAP Business ByDesign and want documented migration connectors plus a certified partner network for implementation.
- Your tax adviser works in DATEV and files VAT returns through Elster.
Avoid if
- You must fix a computable annual cost before committing — the public figures are non-binding samples, implementation costs are stated to vary by customer and industry, and the monthly minimum is 449 Euro.
- Your procurement bars US hyperscaler or US technology-partner exposure — the platform runs on Microsoft Azure built on Acumatica, with US Cloud Act exposure regardless of the German data-centre region.
- You want to implement without a partner and plan from documentation — the documented go-live route is the 26-partner network, and we found no public information on typical implementation duration or support hours.
- You run a smaller team — the vendor states optimal results from about 10 users and positions the product for companies from about 2 million EUR annual revenue.

Finance, tax & compliance
Show reasoningHide reasoning
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
The accounting pages document a full ledger suite — general ledger, payables, receivables, banking, currency management, fixed assets, taxes and holding structures — with GoBD-conform bookkeeping stated outright, a DATEV export for our accountant, Elster transmission of VAT returns and e-invoicing included. The pages do not show OSS or reverse-charge handling, bank feeds matched to payments, or a GoBD procedure documentation, so I stop short of the top band. 2 3 7 8 13
The Head of Finance
The finance pages document the full ledger suite — general ledger, payables, receivables, banking, taxes, fixed assets and holding structures — with GoBD-conformant bookkeeping stated, a DATEV export for my tax adviser, an Elster link for VAT returns and Crossinx for automated processing of incoming e-invoices. We found no public information on purchase-order matching for incoming invoices, bank feeds with payment matching, OSS and reverse charge, or a GoBD procedure documentation, which is exactly what an auditor will ask me for. 7 3 13 2
The Operations Lead
The finance module covers the whole book: general ledger, payables, receivables, banking, currency management, taxes, fixed assets and holding structures, with GoBD-conform bookkeeping stated outright, a DATEV export for my accountant and the Elster interface for VAT returns to the tax office. E-invoicing is listed as a module function and Crossinx automates incoming e-invoice processing. We found no public information on OSS or reverse-charge handling, dunning, a GoBD procedure documentation or an auditor's attestation. 7 3 2 13 1
The Online Retailer
The finance pages show real depth: general ledger, payables and receivables, banking, taxes, fixed assets, cost accounting and holding structures, with GoBD-conform bookkeeping stated, a DATEV export and an Elster connection for VAT filings — that is what my accountant and auditor will ask about. But I found no public information on OSS or reverse-charge VAT for my cross-border EU sales, on dunning, or on an auditor's attestation, so I stop below the top band. 2 3 7 13
The IT Integrator
The accounting module is documented as a full ledger suite — general ledger, payables, receivables, banking, currency, taxes, fixed assets, accruals, controlling and company/holding structures — with GoBD-conformant bookkeeping stated outright, a DATEV export listed, VAT advance returns going to Elster and e-invoice processing via Crossinx. That is more than enough for my tax adviser, but we found no public information on a procedure documentation, OSS or reverse-charge handling, bank-feed matching or an auditor's attestation, so I stop below the top band. 2 3 7 13
The Skeptic
The finance pages list the full ledger set — general ledger, payables, receivables, banking, taxes, fixed assets and holding structures — plus a DATEV export, GoBD-conformant bookkeeping, and an Elster interface that files the VAT advance return straight to the tax office. What holds me back is the fine print: GoBD is claimed without a word on procedure documentation, and I found no public information on OSS or reverse-charge VAT, on dunning, or on incoming e-invoices being matched to purchase orders. 7 1 2 13
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
The goods chain is documented end to end: customisable order types with blanket orders and dropshipping, goods receipt through to picking with real-time stock, demand planning driving purchasing and stock transfers, batch and serial tracking with barcode scanning on a mobile app, plus DHL shipping, an EDI hub and real-time two-way shop connectors carrying orders, stock and returns including partial deliveries. I found no public information on several warehouses with storage bins or best-before and recall traceability. 3 9 10 13 14
The Head of Finance
The goods chain is documented from goods receipt through picking, with stock updated in real time through ERP transactions, batch and serial tracking, mobile scanning, drop shipping, returns and partial deliveries, DHL shipping plus Amazon and Shopify connections, and DRP scheduling purchasing, stock transfers and shipping. We found no public information on several warehouses with storage bins, or on stock valuation flowing into the books. 3 10 14 13
The Operations Lead
This is the chain I run: goods receipt through to picking is digitally mapped, with mobile data capture, a barcode scanner app, batch and serial number tracking and real-time stock updated through ERP transactions. Demand planning times purchasing, stock transfers and shipping against customer orders, MRP triggers automatic replenishment when material runs short, EDI runs through Procuros, and DHL plus the Shopify, Shopware and Amazon connectors carry orders both ways including returns and partial deliveries, with dropshipping supported. We found no public information on storage bins, best-before dates or recall traceability from supplier to customer. 10 12 3 13 14
The Online Retailer
Stock levels updated in real time through ERP transactions, DRP demand planning driving purchasing and stock transfers, batch and serial tracking, mobile scanning and picking, dropshipping, DHL, and Shopware, Amazon and Shopify connectors that carry over returns and partial deliveries — that addresses my overselling nightmare for two of my three channels. The named connectors cover Shopware, Amazon, Shopify and DHL, and I found no public information on an eBay connection, on multiple warehouses and bins, on credit notes for returns, or on stock valuation flowing into the books. 3 10 13 14
The IT Integrator
Goods receipt through picking is described with real-time stock updated by ERP transactions, serial and batch management, mobile data capture with barcode scanning via app, dropshipping, DHL shipping, Shopify returns and partial deliveries, plus a Procuros EDI hub and DRP scheduling purchasing, stock transfers and shipping. We found no public information on multiple warehouses with bin locations or batch-level recall traceability, which keeps me one step from the top. 3 10 13 14
The Skeptic
The goods chain is documented end to end: goods-receipt booking through picking on one warehouse platform, serial and batch numbers, mobile scanning, drop shipping, DHL shipping plus Shopify, Shopware and Amazon connections, returns and partial deliveries taken over from the shop, and MRP recommending purchase orders from production plans and stock levels. I found no public information on storage bins, or on best-before and recall traceability per batch. 3 10 12 13 14
Manufacturing, services & projects

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
Manufacturing depth is real and in writing: multi-level bills of materials with revision control and cost calculation, MRP with automatic replenishment, production planning with pre-calculation and target-actual cost tracking, working time per employee and operation, a shop-floor kiosk, a product configurator and a quality management module. Projects and service management appear as named modules with project time bookable via an external interface, but project budgets, milestone billing and service contracts are not described in similar detail. 7 11 12 13
The Head of Finance
Manufacturing depth is evidenced: multi-level bills of materials with revision control and cost calculation, MRP with automatic replenishment, shop-floor data capture at a terminal, working time recorded per employee and operation, quality management and a product configurator, with target-actual cost comparison. We found no public information on capacity planning with work centres, or on project budgets, resource planning and milestone billing beyond a named project controlling module. 12 11 13
The Operations Lead
The production pages show what my assembly line needs: multi-level bills of materials with revision history and cost calculation, MRP that recommends purchases and production plans with automatic replenishment, a production planning board, time capture per employee and operation, shop-floor data capture at a terminal in the hall, a product configurator and a quality management module — with the production module posting straight into finance, sales and purchasing. Project controlling and service management modules plus project time booking via wetrack cover the service side. The captured pages do not state explicit capacity planning or the limits of the planning run. 12 11 10 13
The Online Retailer
Not my world as a retailer, but the production pages are unusually detailed: multi-level bills of materials with revision control and cost calculation, MRP with automatic replenishment, time recording per employee and operation, a shop-floor terminal for capturing operating data, a product configurator and a quality management module, plus project controlling with project time booking. I found no public information on routings, work centres and capacity planning, so it sits below the top level. 11 12 13
The IT Integrator
As a manufacturer this is what I buy on: multi-level bills of materials with revision history and cost calculation, MRP with automatic replenishment, a production planning board, shop-floor data capture at a terminal, per-employee and per-operation time capture, a product configurator and a quality management module, all integrated with finance, sales and purchasing. We found no public information on capacity planning named as such or on the stated limits of these functions, so not full marks. 11 12
The Skeptic
For the factory the depth is real: multi-level bills of materials with revision history and cost calculation, MRP with automatic replenishment, a production planning board, shop-floor data capture at a terminal, time per employee and work step, a product configurator and a quality management module, all working with finance and cost accounting. The service side is thinner — project controlling and budgeting are named, but I found no public information on milestone or recurring billing, routings and work centres are never named, and no limits of the functions are documented. 12 11 10
Integration, API & data portability

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
A catalogue of sixty-plus interfaces covers shops, marketplaces, shipping, payroll, e-invoicing, customs, document management and Power BI, anything else attaches via REST or SOAP APIs, and there are documented migration tools from weclapp, xentral and SAP ByD — exactly what a switcher like me looks for. I found no public information on an API reference document, webhooks, rate limits or a full data export when leaving the system. 9 13 14
The Head of Finance
A connector catalog with more than sixty interfaces including certified solutions covers shops, marketplaces, EDI, payroll, BI, customs and e-invoicing, REST and SOAP APIs are stated for anything else, and migration from weclapp, xentral and SAP Business ByDesign is documented. We found no public information on a public API reference with webhooks, or on a documented full export of master data, documents and postings when a company leaves. 13 14 9
The Operations Lead
REST and SOAP interfaces are stated for connecting any system, the interface catalogue lists 50 to 60-plus connectors with certified solutions — Shopify, Shopware, Amazon, DHL, Power BI, SD Worx payroll, Elster — and a weclapp migrator plus a SAP Business ByD connector document the move off named predecessor systems. We found no public API reference documentation, no webhooks, and no documented full export of data when a company leaves. 13 9 14 12
The Online Retailer
A searchable catalog of sixty-plus interfaces with certified solutions, REST and SOAP APIs for wiring up anything else, EDI via Procuros, a DATEV export and migrators from weclapp, xentral and SAP ByD — the plumbing for my shop and marketplaces is there. But the pages give no public, versioned API reference with webhooks, and I found no public information on a documented full export of master data, documents and postings when I leave. 9 13 14
The IT Integrator
REST and SOAP APIs are named with any system attachable through them, a catalog of 50-plus interfaces with certified solutions covers shops, EDI, customs, payroll and BI, and migration from weclapp, xentral and SAP ByD is documented — a connector marketplace in all but name. But we found no public information on a public versioned API reference, webhooks, sandbox tenants or a documented full export when the company leaves, which is exactly what I run my day on, so the breadth loses points on the plumbing. 9 13 14
The Skeptic
The connector catalogue is the strongest part of this offer: sixty-plus interfaces with certified solutions spanning shops, carriers, EDI, payroll, customs and business intelligence, custom connections via REST and SOAP API, and named migration connectors from SAP Business ByDesign, weclapp and xentral. What I miss is the portability half: I found no public API reference behind the API claims, no webhooks, and no documented full export of master data, documents and postings for the day the company leaves. 13 9 14 12

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
There is a searchable network of twenty-six certified partners with Gold and Silver levels and implementation as a listed competency, role-based access, audit tracking and approval workflows, low-code customisation, and a published availability figure of 99 percent on an ISO-27001-certified cloud. No page shows a typical implementation duration, support hours or service levels, a help centre, release notes or a status page — the things I need to plan a go-live without a sales call. 1 2 7 10 15

Go-live runs through a certified partner network of 26 partners with Gold and Silver levels and named implementation competencies, on top of role-based access, audit tracking and approval workflows, low-code customisation without programming, and a stated 99 per cent availability.

A partner network of 26 ERP partners with certified, silver and gold levels and implementation as a listed competency, role-based access, audit tracking with approval workflows, low-code customisation and a stated 99 percent availability give me a workable operating picture.

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 legal notice names Haufe-Lexware in Freiburg as the entity and the pages state our data sits in a German data centre, but on Microsoft's Azure, built on the platform of US technology partner Acumatica, with AI in the product's core. The captured pages give no subprocessor list for the ERP service, no data processing agreement and no on-premise or EU-only hosting alternative, so the US Cloud Act exposure that comes with a US hyperscaler is not addressed anywhere I can read. 1 5 6 9
The Head of Finance
Hosting in a German data centre on an ISO 27001 certified cloud, a Freiburg legal entity in the legal notice, and a detailed privacy policy with retention periods are all stated — but the platform comes from US technology partner Acumatica, runs on Microsoft Azure and has AI embedded in the core, and we found no public information on a safeguard for these, a subprocessor list for the ERP itself, a data processing agreement, or an EU-only or on-premise option. 1 2 5 6
The Operations Lead
The legal notice names Haufe-Lexware GmbH & Co. KG in Freiburg with German tax and VAT numbers, hosting is stated as a German data centre on Microsoft Azure with ISO 27001 certification, and German hosting is claimed to satisfy the GDPR. The platform is built on the US technology partner Acumatica and runs on Microsoft's cloud, so US parent companies sit in the chain, and the captured pages show no subprocessor list for the ERP service itself, no data processing agreement and no on-premise or EU-only option. 5 1 2 6
The Online Retailer
Haufe-Lexware in Freiburg is the contracting entity, the data centre is stated to be in Germany, and DSGVO conformity and ISO 27001 are claimed. But the platform runs on Microsoft Azure with Acumatica as the US technology partner, so US Cloud Act exposure persists regardless of the German region, and I found no public information on a subprocessor list for the ERP service itself, a data processing agreement, or an EU-only or on-premise option. 1 2 5 6
The IT Integrator
The captured pages state the data sits in a German data centre on Microsoft Azure, the contracting entity is Haufe-Lexware in Freiburg, and ISO 27001 plus DSGVO conformance are claimed. But the platform runs on a US-headquartered hyperscaler with a US technology partner underneath it and the noted US Cloud Act exposure, and we found no public information on a subprocessor list for the ERP itself, an on-premise or EU-only option, or a published data processing agreement. 1 5 6
The Skeptic
The contracting entity is Haufe-Lexware GmbH & Co.

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 public pages give a starting price from 171 euros monthly per user, a minimum monthly amount of 449 euros, hosting included in the licence price, and they name the cost drivers: booked functions, number of users and ISV interfaces. But module prices, implementation costs — which the pricing page itself says vary strongly per customer and industry — contract term and data-return terms are not published, so I cannot compute what a sixty-person wholesaler would actually pay per year. 2 4 11
The Head of Finance
The public pricing page gives a monthly minimum booking of 449 Euro pro Monat with licence costs depending on booked functions, number of users and ISV interfaces and hosting included in the licence price, alongside a from-price of 'ab 171,- EUR monatlich je Nutzer' on the production page. Implementation costs are stated to vary by customer and industry, the figures are marked as non-binding examples, and we found no public information on module prices, minimum term, VAT treatment or data return on cancellation. 4 11 2
The Operations Lead
A starting price of "ab 171,- EUR monatlich je Nutzer" and a monthly minimum of 449 Euro are public, the licence scales with booked functions, user count and ISV interfaces, and all cloud hosting costs are included in the licence price. But module prices, onboarding packages and the minimum term are not published — implementation costs "variieren je Kunde und Branche" — so I cannot compute the real annual cost from the public pages alone. 11 4 2
The Online Retailer
The public pages give a starting figure of ab 171,- EUR monatlich je Nutzer plus a monthly minimum of 449 Euro, with cloud hosting included and the cost drivers named as booked functions, number of users and ISV interfaces — at least it scales with users, not with every thousand orders. But the sample prices are marked non-binding, per-module prices are not published, implementation costs are stated to vary by customer and industry, and I found no public information on minimum term or VAT treatment. 2 4 11
The IT Integrator
A from price of "ab 171,- EUR monatlich je Nutzer", a monthly minimum of 449 Euro and named cost drivers (booked functions, number of users, ISV interfaces) are public, with hosting included in the licence price. But the module prices themselves appear only as non-binding sample figures, implementation costs "variieren je Kunde und Branche", and we found no public information on minimum term, VAT treatment or what happens to the data on cancellation — so I cannot compute our annual cost without a sales call. 2 4 11
The Skeptic
A from-price exists — ab 171,- EUR monatlich je Nutzer, with licence costs beginning at a minimum of 449 Euro pro Monat — and the pages name the scaling factors (booked functions, number of users, ISV interfaces) and state that hosting is included in the licence price. But the prices are expressly non-binding example figures, implementation costs are stated to vary strongly per customer and industry with no figure attached, and I found no public information on module prices, minimum term, VAT treatment, or what happens to the data on cancellation. 11 4 2

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.
- Weak sourcing — Legal entity, Data residency. Not confirmed on the vendor’s own pages as captured.
- Weak sourcing — Subprocessors. Servers are stated to sit in a German data centre, but Microsoft is a US-headquartered parent, so US Cloud Act exposure persists regardless of region; no dedicated subprocessor list was among the excerpts.
- 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.
