Core concept

App-based ERP: companies start with one module (e.g. CRM) and add further ones as needed (warehousing, project management, e-commerce). All apps share a common database, preventing data silos.

Assessment

• Use case: SMEs seeking a modern alternative to outdated ERP systems and wanting to keep their processes close to standard.
• Advantage: Very fast implementation, modern UI, and an excellent price-to-performance ratio.
• Limitation: Heavy customisations can be costly to maintain during upgrades, particularly in the Enterprise edition.
