The panel's verdict

microtech ERP (microtech GmbH, Hargesheim, Germany) is a modular ERP for retail, wholesale and production, with Basic, Core and Enterprise editions at 199,- €, 299,- € and 399,- € per month net plus VAT. Finance and compliance is strongest, clustering at 7-8 on ZUGFeRD and XRechnung e-invoicing, DATEV export and bank and PayPal matching; orders and inventory clusters at 6-8 on quote-to-invoice, demand-driven purchasing and bin-level warehousing. Sovereignty is weakest at 4-5: a German contracting entity, published Article 28 data processing agreement and on-premise option are on the pages, but we found no public information on where the cloud edition hosts ERP data or on the ERP's own processors. The judges split: integration and portability runs 6-7 — the 6 from the IT integrator, citing the Enterprise-only GraphQL API and COM printing licences — and pricing transparency runs 6-7 the other way, its 7 from the same judge; only the head of finance scored sovereignty 5, crediting on-premise residency. Production, projects and rollout land at 6-7. One judge's column reads 0 on every criterion; the remaining weighted totals run 6.2-6.7.

Speaks for it

  • Finance and compliance scored 7-8 on documented ZUGFeRD and XRechnung e-invoicing, DATEV export and a homepage IDW PS 880 attestation
  • The order chain runs from quote to invoice with real-time delivery capability and algorithm-driven demand triggering purchase orders automatically
  • The warehouse add-on manages storage slots with weight and quantity limits, nesting and hazardous-goods separation rules
  • Interfaces span a read-and-write GraphQL API on the Enterprise tier, a publicly documented COM interface, DATEV, shops, marketplaces, logistics and n8n, Make or Zapier automation
  • All three editions carry public monthly prices with two users and one company included, plus a free trial

  • We found no public information on batch or serial number tracking, mobile picking and scanning, or stock valuation
  • We found no public information on multi-level bills of materials with routings and work centres, project budgets or milestone billing
  • We found no public price for the production add-on, the onboarding packages or the Aktualitäts-Service behind support
  • The captured pages give different statements on contract terms — individually negotiable on the pricing page, a 24-month annual minimum in the terms

Finance, tax & compliance

panel disagrees Show 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

For my books this stacks up: invoices go out in ZUGFeRD and XRechnung and incoming e-invoices are received and processed, dunning and open items run with automatic bank and PayPal matching, a DATEV export hands over to my accountant, and an IDW PS 880 attestation is published. I found no public information on general-ledger detail, GoBD procedure documentation or OSS VAT treatment. 1 2 4 9

The Head of Finance

There is a financial accounting module with its own documentation chapter, DATEV exports for the tax adviser, e-invoices created and processed in both ZUGFeRD and XRechnung, bank and PayPal statements fetched with automatic open-item matching, dunning and open-item management, and an IDW PS 880 attestation published on the homepage. I found no public information on GoBD with a procedure documentation, OSS or reverse-charge VAT, or intercompany postings across entities, so I stay below the top band. 1 2 4 8 9 13

The Operations Lead

A financial accounting module is documented in the help centre, DATEV exports are offered for the hand-over to the accountant, and dunning and open-item management sit in the base edition with online banking that assigns and clears open items automatically. E-invoices run both ways — XRechnung and ZUGFeRD with an XML dataset the vendor states can be sent, received and processed, included in every Gen. 24 edition — and the homepage carries an IDW PS 880 attestation claim. I found no public information on OSS or reverse-charge handling, fixed assets, consolidation or locked periods. 8 9 2 4 1 13

Financial accounting is a documented module, and the captured pages show dunning and open-item management, payment transactions that pull bank statements and PayPal and match open items automatically, DATEV exports for the accountant, e-invoices in ZUGFeRD and XRechnung that can be sent, received and processed, and a published IDW PS 880 testation on the homepage. What decides it against a higher mark for me as a cross-border seller: we found no public information on OSS or per-country VAT handling, no procedure documentation for GoBD, and no statement that incoming e-invoices are matched to purchase orders. 1 2 4 8 9

We found no public information on OSS or reverse-charge VAT, fixed assets or locked period close, so it sits just below the top level. 1 2 4 8 9

ZUGFeRD and XRechnung are documented for creating, sending, receiving and processing, a DATEV export is named for the accountant, bank and PayPal statements are fetched and matched to open items automatically, dunning and payments ship in the base package, and the homepage carries an 'IDW PS 880-Testiert' claim. I stop short of more because we found no published attestation or procedure documentation behind that badge, no public information on OSS or reverse-charge VAT, and the general ledger appears only as a module name with a help-centre section. 1 2 4 8 9 13

Purchasing, inventory & order processing

panel disagrees Show 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 the core of what I buy an ERP for: offers to invoices in one chain with real-time delivery capability, purchasing that triggers orders from demand algorithms with supplier requests for quotation and ratings, warehouse slots down to shelf column and level with weight limits and hazardous-goods rules, returns with automated refunds, and shop, marketplace and logistics connections. I found no public information on batch or serial numbers, mobile scanning or multiple warehouses. 2 4 10 11

The Head of Finance

The document chain from quote to invoice runs in one central overview with real-time delivery-availability calculation, purchasing calculates demand by algorithm and triggers purchase orders automatically, and the bin-management add-on covers shelf columns and levels, nested slot groups, capacity limits, a goods-receipt assistant and stocktaking. Returns with automated refunds plus shop, marketplace and shipping connections are documented; I found no public information on batch or serial number tracking, mobile scanning, or stock valuation flowing into the books. 2 10 11

Quote to invoice in one document chain with real-time delivery capability, automatic demand detection that triggers purchase orders, and a goods-receipt assistant feeding a bin-location module with shelf columns and levels, nesting slot groups, weight and quantity limits, hazardous-goods separation and stocktaking — that is genuinely my world. Returns plus e-commerce, marketplace and logistics interfaces are listed.

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.

Both business models are named with a working core: a production add-on running the manufacturing flow off bills of materials with resource planning, and projects with time recording billed from logged hours, capacity planning and contract management with automatic SLA billing. I found no public information on multi-level bills of materials, routings or milestone billing. 4 12 13

Report an error

The Head of Finance

Both models are named and served: a production add-on maps the manufacturing flow through standard processes with resource needs defined in the bill of materials, and the service side has project management, time recording that imports straight into billing, capacity planning for staff, material and time, and contract administration including SLAs with automated billings. The captured pages give no depth beyond that — I found no public information on multi-level bills of materials with routings and work centres, project budgets, or milestone billing. 1 4 12 13

The Operations Lead

Both models are served on named pages: the production and manufacturing add-on maps the manufacturing flow through standard processes with resource needs defined in the bill of materials, and the services page documents project management, time recording that imports straight into billing, capacity planning for staff, material and time, and contract management with automatic billings. I found no public information on multi-level bills of materials, routings and work centres, or MRP runs with shop-floor capture, so I cannot see next week's production being planned to that depth. 12 13 1 4

Two models are named and documented: a production and manufacturing add-on maps the manufacturing flow through standard processes with resource needs defined in the bill of materials, while project management with time recording, billing from logged hours and capacity planning is included from Core upward, alongside contract management with SLAs, reminders and automated billing. The pages stop short of multi-level bills of materials with routings and work centres, project budgets or milestone billing, so I place it just above the working core. 4 12 13

For a maker like us the production add-on models the manufacturing flow through standard processes with resource needs defined in the bill of materials and working times and group assignment per resource, while the services side covers projects, time recording that flows into invoicing, capacity planning, and SLA contracts with automatic reminders and billing.

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.

European sovereignty panel opinion

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.

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.

The production and storage-slot add-ons, the onboarding packages and the Aktualitäts-Service behind support carry no public price, so my full first-year cost still needs a sales conversation. 4 6 12 16 17

Monthly edition prices are public — Basic at 199,- € / Monat, Core at 299,- € / Monat, Enterprise at 399,- € / Monat — together with per-user add-on prices of 39 €, 49 € and 59 €, per-company add-on prices, package limits, the monthly and annual contract terms including the 24-month minimum, and net prices plus VAT. The production add-on is described as bookable in Core and Enterprise and three onboarding routes are offered, but neither carries a price, and I found no public information on what happens to the data when the contract ends. 4 6 12 16

The Operations Lead

Three editions are priced monthly at 199,- €, 299,- € and 399,- € net plus VAT, each with two users and one company included, with public per-user (39 €, 49 €, 59 €) and per-company (19 €, 99 €, 99 €) add-on prices, tier limits, a 24-month minimum on annual contracts, four-week notice on monthly ones and six weeks' notice before price changes. The production add-on, implementation packages and the Aktualitäts-Service behind support are not priced publicly, and I found no public information on data return at cancellation. 4 6 12 17

The Online Retailer

All three editions are priced publicly at "199,- € / Monat", "299,- € / Monat" and "399,- € / Monat", with additional users at 39 €, 49 € and 59 €, additional companies at 19 €, 99 € and 99 €, tier limits, net prices plus VAT, monthly contracts cancellable at four weeks or annual contracts with a 24-month minimum term, and a free trial. But the production add-on is only named as bookable in Core and Enterprise without a price, we found no public information on the price of the e-commerce module I would need, and the onboarding packages carry no figures — so I cannot yet compute my true annual cost as a fixed figure that does not jump with volume. 2 4 6 12 16

The IT Integrator

The price table is unusually concrete: 199 €, 299 € and 399 € per month for Basic, Core and Enterprise, with 39 €, 49 € or 59 € per additional user and 19 € or 99 € per additional company, stated user and company limits, a monthly option with no minimum term and four weeks' notice or a 24-month annual term, all net plus VAT. We found no public price for implementation or the production add-on module and no public information on data return on cancellation, so the real first-year total is not fully computable from the pages alone. 4 6 12 17

The Skeptic

Three editions at '199,- € / Monat', '299,- € / Monat' and '399,- € / Monat' net with two users and one company included, extra users at '39 €', '49 €', '59 €', extra companies at '19 €' or '99 €', and the terms page states the monthly option (no minimum, four weeks' notice) against the annual one (24 months minimum, three months' notice). The production module is bookable in Core and Enterprise but carries no figure, onboarding and implementation packages are unpriced, the Aktualitäts-Service behind support has no stated price, and on data return at cancellation we found no public information. 4 6 12 17
