The panel's verdict
proALPHA is an ERP for mid-sized companies from Proalpha GmbH of Weilerbach, Germany. Its strength is manufacturing: production and projects scored 8-9, on an APS core with bottleneck warnings, capable-to-promise checks, a product configurator, MES and CAD integration via PDM/PLM, planning on product process models instead of classic bills of materials and routings. Finance and compliance scored 7-8, on fully integrated financials for any number of companies and currencies, GoBD compliance and audit-proof archiving that independent auditors certify. Weakest are integration and portability at 4-5 — judges found no public API reference, webhooks, connectors to shops, banks or DATEV, or a documented full export on exit — and sovereignty at 3-4, where we found no public information on where ERP data is hosted or which processors run behind it; the named subprocessors are website marketing tools. Orders and inventory spans the widest range, 5-7: purchasing is well evidenced, while we found no public information on the quote-to-invoice chain, batch and serial tracking, picking or returns. Rollout and operations scored 6-7 on the named proMETHEUS method; we found no public pricing information.
Speaks for it
- Production and projects scored 8-9, with APS planning, bottleneck warnings, capable-to-promise checks, a product configurator, MES and CAD integration via PDM/PLM documented for make-to-order and series production
- Fully integrated financial accounting for any number of companies and currencies, with GoBD compliance and audit-proof archiving certified by independent auditors, scored 7-8
- Implementation follows the vendor's own proMETHEUS method with defined phases, big-bang or rollout strategies, in-house consultants and a partner network, drawing on templates from more than 1,800 implementation projects
- Purchasing is deeply documented: purchase orders generated from MRP suggestions, supplier portals with privilege-controlled access to stock and demand, blanket agreements, supplier evaluation and ABC/XYZ stock analysis
- Cloud, on-premise or hybrid deployment is stated, and a data protection officer is appointed
Held against it
- Integration and portability scored 4-5: we found no public API reference, webhooks, connectors to shops, banks or DATEV, or a documented full export when a company leaves
- Sovereignty scored 3-4: we found no public information on where ERP data is hosted or which processors run behind the service — the named subprocessors are website marketing tools, some routed through US providers under standard contractual clauses
- We found no public information on the quote-to-invoice document chain, goods receipt, batch and serial tracking, picking, shipping, returns or stock valuation
- We found no public information on a user role model, audit logging, support hours, service levels or availability
- We found no public information on a DATEV export, e-invoice formats such as XRechnung or ZUGFeRD, bank feed matching, dunning, or OSS and reverse-charge VAT
Best for
- You manufacture make-to-order or in series and want APS planning, a product configurator, MES and CAD integration via PDM/PLM in one ERP
- You are a mid-sized company under German GoBD rules that needs financials for any number of companies and currencies with independently certified audit-proof archiving
- You want a vendor-led implementation with a named method, in-house consultants and a partner network rather than a self-service rollout
- Your procurement runs on supplier portals, blanket agreements and EDI — the best-evidenced part of the goods chain
Avoid if
- You do not manufacture — ask the vendor: the public pages we read do not show it
- Your daily work is the warehouse — quote-to-invoice documents, goods receipt, batch and serial tracking, picking, returns — where orders and inventory spans 5-7 and only purchasing is documented
- You depend on named connectors and a documented exit path: integration and portability scored 4-5, and the migration pages describe options for data coming in, not going out

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
Financial accounting is documented as fully integrated — balance sheet, profit and loss, receivables management for any number of companies and currencies, with GoBD compliance and audit-proof archiving that independent auditors regularly check and certify, plus cost centre and cost object accounting, fixed-asset management, consolidation tools and drill-down from reports to the source document. Incoming invoices run through an automated accounts-payable voucher process. We found no public information on bank feed matching, OSS or reverse-charge VAT, or a DATEV export my tax adviser could import. 3 4 6
The Head of Finance
Full financial accounting is documented — balance sheets, profit and loss, receivables and open-item management for any number of companies and foreign currencies — with GoBD compliance stated, audit-proof archiving certified by independent bodies, cost center, cost object and income accounting, consolidation tools and fixed asset management. Incoming invoices are processed automatically through an invoice-checking process, which is the heart of what I want, though we found no public information on matching them to purchase orders, bank feeds with payment matching, OSS or reverse-charge VAT, a procedure documentation, or a DATEV export for my tax adviser. 3 4 5 6
The Operations Lead
The pages show full financial accounting — balance sheets, profit and loss, receivables management for any number of companies and currencies — with German GoBD compliance stated, archiving described as independently checked and certified, plus cost accounting, fixed asset management and group consolidation tools. I found no public information on a DATEV hand-over, bank feed matching or XRechnung and ZUGFeRD e-invoicing, so I stop short of the top. 3 4
The Online Retailer
The books look serious: fully integrated financial accounting with balance sheets, P&L and receivables for any number of companies and currencies, GoBD compliance stated with audit-proof archiving that independent auditors regularly certify, automatic incoming invoice processing, cost accounting and fixed assets. What I could not find is anything on OSS VAT for my cross-border EU sales, e-invoice formats, or a DATEV export for my accountant. 3 4
The IT Integrator
Full financial accounting is documented with balance sheets, profit and loss, receivables management for any number of companies and any currency, GoBD compliance stated and audit-proof archiving checked and certified by independent bodies — close to what my tax adviser and auditor need. Cost center, cost object and income accounting, fixed asset management, consolidation tools and international standards like IFRS and US GAAP are also documented, though we found no public information on bank feeds with payment matching, OSS or reverse-charge VAT, XRechnung or ZUGFeRD e-invoicing, dunning or a DATEV export. 3 4 6
The Skeptic
Full financials are documented — balance sheet, profit and loss, receivables, cost centre and cost object accounting, any number of companies, foreign currencies — with GoBD compliance stated and audit-proof archiving regularly checked and certified by independent auditors, plus automated incoming invoice processing. We found no public information on a DATEV or accountant export, e-invoice formats such as XRechnung or ZUGFeRD, dunning, or OSS and reverse-charge VAT, and the hand-over to the accountant is precisely where these projects quietly cost extra. 3 4 6
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 purchasing half of my goods chain is well covered: purchase orders generated automatically from MRP suggestions, ABC/XYZ stock control, supplier portals with privileged access to the warehouse system, blanket agreements, EDI and supplier evaluation. We found no public information on the customer-facing document chain from quote to delivery note and invoice, goods-receipt bookings, batch and serial tracking, picking and shipping, or returns with credit notes — the parts a wholesaler cannot run without. 5 6
The Head of Finance
Purchasing is well evidenced: purchase orders generated automatically or manually from MRP suggestions, orders and part plans, supplier portals with access rights and blanket agreements allowing delivery without prior request, supplier evaluation, EDI transfer and ABC/XYZ analysis for stock control. We found no public information on the quote-to-invoice document chain, goods receipt booking stock, warehouses and bins, batch or serial numbers, picking, shipping, returns or stock valuation. 5 6 8
The Operations Lead
Purchasing is properly deep: purchase orders generate automatically from MRP suggestions, EDI data is processed in the ERP, supplier portals let suppliers see stock and demand under controlled privileges, and a purchasing cockpit watches demand coverage and delivery reliability. But for my warehouse floors I found no public information on bins, batch and serial tracking, mobile scanning, returns or the customer-side quote-to-invoice chain — strong procurement, unproven warehouse operations. 5 6 9
The Online Retailer
Purchasing is well documented — purchase orders generated automatically from MRP suggestions, supplier portals where suppliers read current stock and demand under controlled privileges, EDI and supplier evaluation. But for my world the crucial pieces are undocumented: no connector for Shopware, Amazon or eBay appears anywhere, and I found no public information on picking, scanning, returns or restocking, so nothing here shows I would stop overselling my bestseller. 5 6 9
The IT Integrator
The purchasing side is well evidenced: purchase orders generated automatically or manually from MRP suggestions and parts planning, supplier portals with privilege-controlled access to stock and demand, blanket agreements, supplier evaluation, ABC/XYZ analysis and EDI processed further in the ERP. We found no public information on the quote-to-invoice document chain, goods receipt booking stock, batch or serial numbers, mobile picking, returns or stock valuation, so the documented evidence stops short of the warehouse depth I run. 5 6 8
The Skeptic
Purchasing is genuinely integrated: purchase orders generated manually or automatically from MRP suggestions and parts planning, EDI processed in the ERP, supplier portals with privilege-controlled access to stock and demand, supplier evaluation, blanket agreements and ABC/XYZ stock analysis. We found no public information on the sales document chain from quote to invoice, goods receipt booking, warehouse and bin structure, batch or serial tracking, picking, shipping or returns — so we score the half of the goods chain the captured pages actually show. 5 6 9
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 manufacturing depth is far beyond my wholesale needs: planning on product-process models instead of classic bills of materials and routings, an APS core that warns of bottlenecks, prioritises work orders and proposes alternate resources, master production scheduling, capable-to-promise checks, a product configurator, MES with a digital shop-floor offering, and PDM/PLM tying CAD to the ERP. We found no public information on shop-floor quality checks or the stated limits of these planning tools. 7 8
The Head of Finance
Manufacturing depth is documented for make-to-order and series production: MRP proposals, APS capacity planning with bottleneck warnings and work-order prioritisation, master production scheduling, capable-to-promise checks, a product configurator, MES with a digital shop floor, CAD integration via PDM/PLM and qualification-based employee scheduling, with planning done through product process models rather than classic bills of materials and routings. Projects appear with budget controlling checkable at any stage, but we found no public information on time recording or milestone and recurring billing. 6 7 8 12
The Operations Lead
This is a manufacturer's system: planning runs on product process models with APS at the core — bottleneck warnings, work-order prioritisation, alternative resources — plus capable-to-promise checks, master production scheduling, qualification-based employee scheduling, a product configurator, MES and a digital shopfloor. Projects get budget checking at any stage with resource synchronisation, and only the absence of documented limits on these capabilities keeps me off the top. 7 8 12
The Online Retailer
Deep for manufacturers: production planning with product process models instead of classic bills of materials and routings, an APS that warns of bottlenecks and suggests alternate resources, master production scheduling, MES, a product configurator, capable-to-promise and a digital shopfloor. I only trade goods, so this is depth I would never use, but the manufacturing model is documented at a high level. 7 8
The IT Integrator
As a manufacturer I read a full production stack: an Advanced Planning and Scheduling core with bottleneck warnings and work-order prioritisation, master production scheduling, capable-to-promise checks straight from the sales order, a product configurator, production management as MES, a digital shopfloor offering, qualification-based employee scheduling and PDM/PLM uniting CAD and ERP, for both make-to-order and series production, built on product-process-models in place of classic bills of materials and routings. Costs feed the cost accounting modules; we found little public information on project, time and resource billing for service firms. 7 8 4
The Skeptic
The manufacturing depth is real and named for make-to-order and series production: APS as the core with bottleneck warnings, work-order prioritisation and alternative resources, master production scheduling, MES, a digital shopfloor, capable-to-promise checks, a product configurator and CAD integration via PDM/PLM — planning runs on product-process-models instead of classic bills of materials and routings. What keeps it from the top: quality assurance appears only via connectable external systems, and the limits of each capability are not described. 6 7 8
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
The Integration Workbench is described as a central platform connecting any number of IT systems, machines, sites and companies via parameters and templates, converting data into the target format; EDI in many industry formats, a business-partner web portal and master-data replication between companies are documented, and migration is offered in three variants with data-quality tools and test runs. We found no public information on a documented REST or OData API reference, webhooks, connectors to shops, banks or DATEV, or a full export of master data, documents and postings when we leave. 9 10 3
The Head of Finance
An Integration Workbench connects IT systems, machines, sites and companies with EDI in many industry-specific formats, a web portal for business partners, master data replication between companies, and import of data from other systems; migration is documented with three options (full, selective manual, selective automatic) and tooling for data quality and test runs. We found no public information on a public API reference with webhooks, connectors to shops, banks or DATEV, or a documented full export when a company leaves. 4 9 10
The Operations Lead
An Integration Workbench is documented as a central platform connecting systems, machines, sites and companies, EDI runs in many industry formats, third-party API interfaces are named, and imports from other systems with migration test runs are described. But I found no public API reference, no webhooks, no standard connectors to shops, banks or DATEV, and no documented full export when a company leaves — a connector platform is not yet an open interface contract. 9 10 4
The Online Retailer
A central Integration Workbench on a service-oriented architecture connects systems, machines and sites, API interfaces for third-party systems are mentioned, EDI is supported, and data migration with test runs and three options is described. But I found no public API reference, no webhooks, and — decisive for me — no named connectors for the shops and marketplaces I sell on, nor a documented full export when leaving. 1 9 10
The IT Integrator
API interfaces for third-party systems are stated, and the Integration Workbench on a service-oriented architecture connects IT systems, machines, sites and external warehouse, shipping and quality-assurance applications, with EDI in many industry formats, master data replication between companies and an on-premise or hybrid deployment option. But this is the criterion I care most about, and we found no public information on a public versioned API reference, webhooks, sandbox tenants, named shop, bank, payroll or DATEV connectors, or a documented full export when we leave — the migration pages describe options for data coming in, not going out. 9 10 1
The Skeptic
Connections are described in substance — an Integration Workbench linking IT systems, machines, sites and companies through parameterisable templates, EDI in many industry formats, master data replication between companies, and a migration offering with full or selective options plus data-quality tools and test runs. We found no public information on a public API reference, webhooks, connectors to shops, banks or DATEV, or a documented full export when a company leaves — and that last one decides the exit cost. 4 9 10
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
This is the clearest go-live path in the whole evaluation: a named implementation method with standardised phases and project tasks, a choice of big-bang or rollout strategy, in-house consultants, governance through a steering committee and key users, templates from more than 1,800 implementation projects, dedicated project-management software, and seminars, workshops and end-user training; the vendor's own knowledge portal puts ERP migrations at several months, sometimes over a year. We found no public information on user roles and permissions, an audit log, support service levels or availability guarantees. 11 12 10
The Head of Finance
Implementation is unusually well documented: the proMETHEUS Fast Track method with defined phases and project tasks, steering and project boards, templates and best practices from more than 1,800 implementation projects, in-house consultants, a partner network, and training through seminars, workshops and end-user documents, with ERP migrations described as taking several months to over a year. We found no public information on user roles and permissions in the software, an audit log, service levels or availability. 1 10 11 12
The Operations Lead
Implementation is properly described: their own proMETHEUS method with defined phases, a Fast Track variant for mid-sized firms, in-house consultants, a partner network, templates from more than 1,800 projects, a steering committee structure and training in seminars and workshops. What I could not find is a user role model with permissions and an audit log, support hours or service levels, and any status page or availability statement. 11 12 1
The Online Retailer
Implementation is well described: the proMETHEUS method with defined phases, big bang or rollout strategies, a project board and steering committee including a proALPHA CEO, in-house consultants, a partner network, templates from more than 1,800 projects, and training through seminars and workshops. I found no public information on typical duration for their own projects, support hours or service levels, availability, or a change log. 1 11 12
The IT Integrator
The implementation path is unusually well documented: the proMETHEUS method with standardised phases, big-bang or rollout strategies, in-house consultants, templates from more than 1,800 implementation projects, a steering committee, strategy advisory, and training via seminars, workshops and end-user documents, plus a partner network. We found no public information on an internal role model with permissions, a change or audit log, a help centre, support hours, or service levels for support and availability — privileges are documented only for supplier access to the warehouse system. 11 12 1
The Skeptic
Implementation is more documented than most: the proMETHEUS Fast Track method with defined phases and project tasks, big bang or rollout strategies, governance boards, in-house consultants plus a partner network, training through seminars, workshops and end-user documents, tooling for project management and test management, and migration durations stated at several months to over a year. Beyond privileges governing supplier portal access, we found no public information on a user role model, audit logging, support hours, service levels or availability. 1 10 11 12
European sovereignty
panel opinion
Show reasoningHide reasoning
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 Proalpha GmbH in Weilerbach, Germany, and the ERP is offered in cloud, on-premise or hybrid deployment — a genuine hosting choice for my commercial records. We found no public information on where cloud data would reside, which subprocessors run behind the ERP service, or a data processing agreement; the processor list we found covers the vendor's marketing website, including US providers such as HubSpot and Google transfers backed by standard contractual clauses. 2 1 10
The Head of Finance
The contracting entity is Proalpha GmbH in Weilerbach, Germany, an on-premise or hybrid deployment is stated, and a detailed privacy policy names marketing subprocessors, appoints a data protection officer and documents safeguards for transfers to US providers. We found no public information on where the ERP data itself is hosted or which processors run the cloud service behind it. 1 2 10
The Operations Lead
The contracting entity is Proalpha GmbH in Weilerbach, Germany, and the product is offered as cloud, on-premise or hybrid, so I could keep the commercial record in my own server room. Where a cloud tenant's data sits, which subprocessors run behind the ERP service itself and whether a data processing agreement is offered are unknown from these pages — the named processors there are website marketing tools, not the ERP chain. 1 2 10
The Online Retailer
The vendor is a German GmbH in Weilerbach with a detailed privacy policy that names its website analytics providers, including US services backed by standard contractual clauses. For the ERP itself I found no public information on where the data is hosted, which subprocessors run the cloud, or a data processing agreement — only that cloud, on-premise and hybrid deployment exist. 1 2 10
The IT Integrator
The contracting entity is Proalpha GmbH in Weilerbach, Germany, and an on-premise or hybrid deployment is stated, which is a good start for an ERP holding our whole commercial record. But the captured pages give no hosting location for ERP data and no processors behind the ERP service itself — the named processors are website tools such as Google Analytics and HubSpot, a US provider, with transfers to the USA acknowledged and standard contractual clauses signed — and we found no public information on a data processing agreement for the ERP. 2 1 10
The Skeptic
The contracting entity is Proalpha GmbH of Weilerbach, Germany, a data protection officer is appointed, and cloud, on-premise or hybrid deployment is stated. Where the ERP data itself is hosted and which processors run behind the service, we found no public information — the named subprocessors in the privacy policy are website marketing tools, some routed through providers in the USA under standard contractual clauses, which tells a buyer nothing about their postings and prices. 1 2 8 10
Pricing transparency
not rated — the vendor publishes no price
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
Across the homepage and the product and implementation pages we found no price figures, editions or scaling rules — the documented route to a cost is a no-obligation consultation call, a demo request and the partner network. As a buyer who wants to plan the annual cost before signing, I cannot compute anything from the public pages. 1 11
The Head of Finance not rated — no public information
We found no public information on prices on any page we read: no price per user or module, no edition or package costs, no implementation or onboarding fees, no minimum term and no terms for data return on cancellation; the captured pages offer consultations, appointments and demo requests instead. 1 4 11
The Operations Lead not rated — no public information
I found no public pricing information on any of the captured pages — no price per user or module, no implementation or onboarding fees, no minimum term and nothing on data return at cancellation. Every question about annual cost for my warehouses and the assembly line ends in a phone call or an appointment booking. 1 3 5 7 9 11
The Online Retailer
Across every page I read — homepage, product areas, consulting pages — I found no public information on prices, editions, user fees or contract terms; the path shown is a demo request, a no-obligation phone call or an appointment. For a shop of eight staff that means I cannot compute an annual cost before talking to sales. 1 9 11
The IT Integrator not rated — no public information
We found no public information on pricing transparency: none of the captured pages state a price per user, edition or module, implementation or onboarding fees, minimum terms, or the terms for returning data on cancellation — the homepage, consulting and implementation-method pages we read all steer to a demo or a call. 1 11 12
The Skeptic not rated — no public information
We found no public information on pricing: no price per user or module, no edition structure, and no implementation or onboarding fees appear on any of the captured pages, which all point instead to a demo request or a no-obligation consulting appointment by phone. A company therefore cannot begin to compute its real annual cost from what is published. 1 3 4 11

Where this could be wrong
- Evidence ages. The oldest capture behind this page is from 3 Nov 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.
