ERP Vendor Directory

The ERP market spans a small number of global platforms and a long tail of mid-market and specialist vendors, and most buyers only ever encounter a fraction of it through search results and analyst shortlists. This directory lists ERP vendors alphabetically, with no ranking or tiering, so you can see the full breadth of the market before narrowing your search. Like all of our Vendor Directory content, it aims to be thorough but doesn't include every variation of ERP.


Viewpoint Analysis is a Technology Matchmaker, helping businesses find and select the right technology fast. We aim to be the place where enterprise buyers go first, before speaking to the technology vendor community.

Want a shortlist rather than a full list?

The Viewpoint Analysis Longlist Builder asks you a few quick questions about your business, location, and requirements, then comes back with a bespoke list of the specific ERP vendors worth talking to for your situation. It takes a few minutes and is free to use.

ERP Software Vendors


abas ERP

abas ERP is a German manufacturing ERP aimed at mid-sized discrete manufacturers, covering production planning, scheduling, procurement, sales, and financial accounting within a single system. It is typically considered by manufacturers in metalworking, machinery, electronics, and plastics with complex, configurable production processes, and has a particularly strong presence in the German-speaking mid-market.


Acumatica

Acumatica is a cloud ERP platform covering financials, distribution, manufacturing, construction, and retail within a single system. It uses a consumption-based pricing model charging by resources used rather than by named user, which suits organisations with large or variable numbers of occasional system users, and has built a strong presence in North America with a growing footprint in the UK mid-market.


Aptean

Aptean is a portfolio of industry-specific ERP products built or acquired for particular verticals, including food and beverage, apparel, chemicals, and industrial manufacturing, each sold under its own product name within the Aptean group. The company's model is to provide deep out-of-the-box functionality for a specific sector rather than a single generalist platform, and it is typically evaluated by mid-market manufacturers and distributors with sector-specific process requirements.


Cetec ERP

Cetec ERP is a cloud-based ERP aimed at small and medium-sized manufacturers, with particular focus on electronics, aerospace, and medical device production. It bundles ERP, CRM, and quality management functionality into a single platform at a price point positioned below many of the established mid-market players, and is typically considered by smaller manufacturers in regulated industries needing built-in compliance and quality tools without a large software budget.


Datacor ERP

Datacor ERP, formerly known as Chempax, is an ERP platform built specifically for process manufacturers in the chemical, coatings, and related industries. Its functionality is oriented around batch and formula-based production, regulatory documentation, and the specific inventory and costing requirements of process manufacturing, and it is generally evaluated by chemical and process businesses rather than discrete manufacturers.

It is positioned for discrete and process manufacturers, with particular strength in plastics and rubber processing, and is typically considered by manufacturers wanting shop floor visibility and ERP in one system rather than two separately integrated platforms.


Deltek

Its functionality centres on project accounting, resource planning, and billing, with particular depth in US government contract compliance, and it is typically shortlisted by project-based professional services firms rather than product or manufacturing businesses.

Its platforms are built around production scheduling, shop floor management, and supply chain functionality for the specific verticals they serve, and Epicor is typically evaluated by manufacturers and distributors looking for an industry specialist alternative to the larger enterprise vendors.


ERPNext

ERPNext is an open-source ERP platform covering accounting, inventory, manufacturing, HR, and CRM through a modular set of applications. It is available as a self-hosted deployment or as a managed cloud service, and its open-source licensing model makes it a frequently considered option for smaller businesses and organisations with in-house technical resource wanting to avoid per-user subscription costs.


Exact Globe

Exact Globe is a Netherlands-headquartered ERP platform serving small and mid-sized businesses across manufacturing, wholesale, and professional services, primarily in European markets. It covers financials, CRM, manufacturing, and project management within an integrated system, and Exact also offers a separate cloud-native product line for organisations preferring a SaaS deployment over the on-premise Globe product.


Genius ERP

Genius ERP is a manufacturing-focused ERP built specifically for custom and engineer-to-order manufacturers, including metal fabrication, machinery, and equipment producers. Its functionality is structured around the specific planning and costing challenges of make-to-order and engineer-to-order production, where each job can differ significantly from the last, and it is generally evaluated by manufacturers whose business does not fit a standard repetitive production model.


Global Shop Solutions

Global Shop Solutions is a manufacturing ERP aimed at small and mid-sized discrete manufacturers, covering shop floor control, scheduling, inventory, and financials within a single system. It is typically considered by manufacturers wanting an all-in-one platform from a single vendor rather than assembling ERP and shop floor functionality from separate systems, and has a long-standing customer base in the US manufacturing sector.


IFS

IFS is a Swedish ERP vendor with particular strength in asset-intensive industries including aerospace, defence, energy, utilities, and field service management. Its current-generation platform, IFS Cloud, is built on a composable architecture allowing organisations to deploy specific modules rather than the full system, and IFS is generally shortlisted by large industrial and service organisations alongside SAP and Oracle.


Infor CloudSuite

Infor CloudSuite is a family of industry-specific ERP editions covering manufacturing, healthcare, distribution, and hospitality, each built with deep out-of-the-box functionality for its target sector.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is Microsoft's ERP platform for small and mid-sized businesses, covering financials, supply chain, sales, and operations within the broader Microsoft ecosystem. It integrates closely with Microsoft 365, Power BI, and Power Platform, and is typically evaluated by organisations already using Microsoft tools that want a lighter-weight alternative to Microsoft's enterprise-tier ERP product.


Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain Management

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain Management is Microsoft's enterprise-tier ERP product, built for larger organisations with more complex financial, manufacturing, and supply chain requirements than Business Central is designed to handle.

It is typically evaluated by product businesses, distribution companies, and fast-growing organisations moving up from entry-level accounting software, with the ability to scale from smaller mid-market businesses through to several hundred employees without a platform change.


Odoo

Odoo is an open-source ERP platform covering CRM, sales, inventory, manufacturing, accounting, and HR through a modular, app-based architecture.

Rootstock

Rootstock is a cloud manufacturing ERP built natively on the Salesforce platform, aimed at mid-sized manufacturers. Its integration with Salesforce CRM means sales, service, and manufacturing operations share the same underlying data model, and it is typically evaluated by manufacturers that have already standardised on Salesforce and want to extend that platform into operations rather than introducing a separate ERP system.


Sage X3

Sage X3 is Sage's mid-to-large enterprise ERP, positioned at more complex manufacturing, distribution, and chemical sector organisations. It offers multi-site, multi-currency, and multi-legislation support and is well represented in European manufacturing environments, sitting between mainstream mid-market platforms and the true enterprise tier.

Visma.net ERP is a Nordic cloud ERP covering financial management, logistics and supply chain, and HRM within a single integrated platform. It is typically evaluated by mid-sized and large organisations in Norway, Sweden, and the wider Nordic region, and is built on a composable architecture that allows the core ERP to be extended with additional Visma cloud applications.


Workday Financial Management

Workday Financial Management is the ERP component of Workday's broader HR and finance platform, built cloud-native and typically evaluated alongside Oracle and SAP in finance-led organisations. Its particular relevance is for businesses already running Workday for HR, where adding financial management creates a single unified people and finance data model, and it is generally considered by professional services firms, financial institutions, and large public sector organisations.
