Read this page as one judge. Each weighs the same scores by what they care about.

The IT Integrator

Weighted verdict

Looks after IT for a mid-sized manufacturer and has to connect the ERP to the shop, the bank, payroll, the BI tool and a supplier's EDI. Wants a public, versioned API with webhooks and a sandbox, roles and an audit log, hosting and subprocessors named, and a full export the day the company leaves.

Same scores as the panel view — this lens weights them the way this judge cares.

Finance, tax & compliance

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.

Report an error

The IT Integrator

The books close inside this ERP: double-entry accounting on SKR03 and SKR04 with VAT pre-registration via ELSTER and the EU summary statement by XML, e-invoices in XRechnung and ZUGFeRD sent and received, SEPA payment files, configurable multi-level dunning and a DATEV hand-over for the accountant, plus fixed assets with automatic depreciation, cost accounting, budgeting and period and annual closings across up to 999 periods. The finance software is stated as audited to IDW PS 880, which is what my auditor will ask about. We found no public information on bank feed matching, intercompany consolidation or locked periods. 9 11 12 1 2

Report an error

Purchasing, inventory & order processing

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.

Report an error

The IT Integrator

Quotes, orders, delivery notes and invoices run as one chain, purchasing includes demand planning and automated order disposition, and goods receipt is captured on purchase orders via tablet app into bin-managed stock with serial and batch barcode tracking, FiFo picking suggestions, paperless multi-person picking and shipping labels carrying customs tariff numbers. Automated purchasing proposals and end-to-end batch traceability with best-before labelling push toward the top of the range, and marketplace and webshop connections exist. We found no public information on supplier EDI, returns with restocking and credit note, or drop shipping. 10 11 3 2 17

Report an error

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.

Report an error

The IT Integrator

For the production model the depth is real: multi-level bills of materials with an update assistant, production orders from disposition or sales documents with forward and backward scheduling, resource planning with groups and pools, a planning board showing percentage resource utilisation, pre and post costing with plan/actual comparison, extended workbench subcontracting with automatic purchase orders, and multidimensional variants with inheritance. We found no public information on shop-floor data capture per operation, quality checks, or a projects and time-recording model for service billing. 12 13 2

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.

Report an error

The IT Integrator

A REST interface over HTTPS using JSON with GET, POST and PUT is documented with Swagger/OpenAPI documentation, read and write access to customers, sales documents and products, and restrictable data access — offered as partner solutions, one from ipt solution GmbH at a 3750 € Lizenzpreis plus 57 € / Monat Wartungsgebühr and one from ambarics at 1500 € plus 15 € / Monat, with a datasheet available; marketplace and webshop connections, a DATEV hand-over and imports of master data, prices and bills of materials are also documented. As the one who has to hang the shop, the bank and the supplier EDI off this, we found no public information on webhooks, a sandbox, versioned API coverage of all main objects, or a documented full export when the company leaves. 14 15 17 12

Rollout, roles & operations

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.

Report an error

The IT Integrator

Implementation is described with a project lead covering planning, configuration, data migration and third-party interfaces, go-live "innerhalb weniger Wochen", a Quickstep setup wizard, workshops, a documentation database with module manuals and a Swiss support team Monday to Friday 08:00–17:00, with hotline terms, remote maintenance via TeamViewer and delivery of the latest program version in the general terms. For running this day to day, we found no public information on a role and permission model, an audit or change log, service levels or an availability commitment, or a status page. 16 9 6

European sovereignty

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.

Report an error

The IT Integrator

The contracting entity is Forterro Deutschland GmbH in Munich and hosting is stated in German data centres on several captured pages, with the Forterro group above it, Jeeves Information Systems AB named as ultimate controller, Forterro UK Ltd as legal head, and EU standard contractual clauses stated, with processing described as generally within the UK or EU/EEA. Named processors include Google LLC for tag management and group subsidiaries in India, the United States and Morocco with read access to personal data for support tickets. We found no public information naming the data-centre operator, a data processing agreement, or an on-premise option. 2 4 6 7 11

Pricing transparency

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.

Report an error

The IT Integrator

Monthly module prices plus statutory VAT are published with flexible monthly module booking, a volume program from 10 users, and general terms stating net billing annually in advance, payment within 14 days, a minimum term to 31 December of the following year with three months' notice and auto-renewal, plus a free trial without credit card; partner REST add-ons are priced exactly (3750 € plus 57 € / Monat, 1500 € plus 15 € / Monat). We found no public information on implementation package prices, on what happens to the data on cancellation, or on per-user subscription figures for the ERP itself, so the real annual cost is not computable from the captured pages. 4 6 1 14 15 16
