ERP selection tool

Four questions — revenue, entities, user count, and what matters most — and you get a ranked shortlist with the reasoning attached. Ten products are scored, ours is one of them, and it does not always come first.

How the scoring works

Each product carries a base score from the directory, then your answers add and subtract from it. The adjustments are deliberately simple, because a model you cannot explain is a model you cannot check.

  • Size fit. Every product has a revenue band it genuinely serves. Below it costs 1.8 points for being heavier than you need; above it costs 2.4, because outgrowing a system is worse than over-buying one.
  • Entity count. At the limit of what a product handles comfortably costs 0.7. Well beyond it costs 1.6.
  • Licensing shape. Above 100 people touching the system, per-seat products lose 0.9 and flat-rate products gain 0.6. This is the adjustment that most often moves Acumatica above NetSuite.
  • Stated priorities. Each priority you select adds 0.55 where a product is strong and subtracts 0.8 where it is weak. Weakness is penalised harder than strength is rewarded, because a gap in the thing you care about is what makes an implementation fail.
Outgrowing a system is worse than over-buying one, so the model penalises it harder. That is a judgement, and it is written down so you can disagree with it.

What it will tell you that you may not want to hear

If you are under $5M with one entity, the tool will rank QuickBooks Online or Xero at the top and put us well down the list. That is the correct answer and we would rather the tool say it than have a salesperson say it four weeks later.

If you select inventory or international as a priority, we drop sharply — we score two out of five on inventory and do not build manufacturing at all. NetSuite and Acumatica will beat us and the tool will show you why.

What it cannot account for

  • Your industry. Two businesses at the same revenue with the same entity count can need opposite things. Read the industry guides alongside this.
  • The partner you get. For NetSuite, Acumatica, Sage, and Dynamics the implementation partner often matters more than the product, and no four-question tool can predict that.
  • What you already own. A well-configured system you have invested three years in beats a marginally better one on a scoring model.
  • Where you will be in three years. Answer for the business you expect to be, not the one you are.

Questions

About this tool.

Is the scoring weighted in your favour?
The adjustments are published above and you can test it: answer under $5M with one entity, or select inventory as a priority, and watch us fall down the list. A scorer that always returns its own product first would be obvious within two attempts.
Why only ten products?
Because we will not score a product we have not seen implemented. Vertical-specific and non-US systems are absent for that reason rather than because they are bad.
Should I trust a shortlist from a competitor?
Partially, and then check it. Use this to shorten the list, use the directory to read each product’s stated weakness, and talk to two reference customers of whichever you favour. No tool replaces that last step.
Can I see the underlying data?
Yes — the directory dataset with scores and weights is published under a permissive licence.
