Summarize with AI:

For small and midsize businesses, managing finance, operations, inventory, and other day-to-day activities manually or across disconnected systems isn't sustainable. ERP systems bring core processes under one roof, giving teams access to real-time data, reducing manual work, and enabling better control as the business scales.

Today's ERP options for SMBs are more flexible than legacy ones. Some are modular, others are all-in-one. Some focus on specific industries. Others prioritize speed of deployment or extensibility.

Different ERP systems may be more appropriate for certain companies, and in any event, companies need to take the search for the right ERP system very seriously as it is a long-term investment. Choosing an ERP system is not simply an IT decision, it is a business decision, and the ERP will need to be able to grow with and adapt to the changing dynamics of your business.

This guide breaks down ten widely used ERP platforms that meet the real operational needs of SMBs, whether you're in manufacturing, distribution, retail, or services.

Top 10 ERP solutions for SMBs

The following ERP platforms have been selected based on common SMB evaluation criteria: scalability, cost-efficiency, vertical functionality, and proven success within SMB environments.

Each solution addresses typical SMB constraints around budget, resources, and implementation agility.

While presented in alphabetical order without ranking, each ERP brings something different to the table, depending on operational complexity, regulatory scope, and digital maturity, so the right fit depends on your industry, structure, and goals.

Acumatica

Features

Acumatica is a cloud-based ERP known for its flexible licensing model-businesses pay based on system usage, not users, which can be attractive for companies scaling headcount. It includes solid core functionality and offers open APIs for easy integration.

Its modern UI and native mobile apps can add to its appeal, especially for teams that operate in the field. However, deeper operational tools like advanced warehouse management or production scheduling often rely on third-party extensions, which can create fragmentation over time and require ongoing partner coordination.

Core modules

Acumatica's core offering includes Financial Management, Project Accounting, Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Distribution Management, and Construction. Manufacturing Management is available as a core module in the Manufacturing Edition. Each edition combines specific modules tailored to industry use cases, but all share a common platform and data model.

Industry focus

Acumatica serves SMBs in construction, wholesale distribution, services, and manufacturing. Its platform is particularly suited for businesses operating across multiple locations or legal entities.

 

Implementation time

Typical Acumatica deployment takes between 4-8 months, depending on data volume, number of modules, and whether a standard edition or highly customized model is deployed.

Deployment options

Acumatica's ERP is primarily a SaaS system, but it supports private cloud and on-prem deployment (through hosting partners).

Epicor

Features

Epicor offers ERP systems for various industries. Its main product, Epicor Kinetic, is an ERP focused on manufacturing environments, offering features such as MRP, production scheduling, and supply chain management.

For distributors, Epicor Prophet offers order management, warehouse automation, and procurement workflows tailored to wholesale environments.

Additional solutions such as Epicor BisTrack and iScala are designed for building supply and international SMBs, respectively.

Each system is developed as a stand alone app, which means companies must choose the product that aligns most closely with their operational model, as switching between them requires a full system migration.

Core modules

Each ERP product in the Epicor portfolio includes a different set of core modules.

Epicor Kinetic includes Financial Management, Production Management, Product Management, Supply Chain Management, CRM, Project Management, Business Intelligence, Service Management, Quality, and HCM.

Prophet 21 includes Financials, Order Management, Procurement, Inventory, Warehouse Management, CRM, and Analytics.

BisTrack focuses on Sales, Inventory, Finance, Purchasing, and Dispatch Management for the building supply sector.

Eclipse is built around Inventory, Order Processing, Pricing, Financials, and Rebate Management.
iScala includes Financials, Distribution, Manufacturing, and Global Regulatory Compliance.

Industry focus

Epicor supports discrete manufacturing, wholesale distribution, building supply, and other industry-specific verticals. Businesses must select the Epicor product that corresponds to their sector; each is developed and maintained independently.

Implementation time

Deployment timelines vary significantly by product. Kinetic implementations typically take 6 to 12 months; Prophet 21 deployments range from 4 to 9 months depending on scope and data complexity. Cross-product migrations are treated as new implementations.

Deployment options

All major Epicor products are available as cloud-hosted or on-premises solutions. Cloud options include multi-tenant and single-tenant models, with some products offering managed updates and others requiring manual upgrade cycles.

While Epicor has strong vertical solutions, they are fragmented, and companies must commit to one system-there is no single cross-industry solution.

Microsoft Business Central

Features

Business Central is Microsoft's SMB-focused ERP solution, built on the Dynamics 365 platform. It provides a unified environment for managing finance, sales, inventory, purchasing, and basic project operations.

Native integration with Microsoft 365, Power BI, and the Power Platform enables low-code customization, real-time analytics, and workflow automation through tools like Power Automate.

While the platform is strong in finance and light operations, more advanced capabilities like complex manufacturing or warehouse automation often require third-party ISVs or separate Dynamics modules. Custom development is done using AL language within Visual Studio Code.

Core modules

Business Central includes native modules for financial management, sales, purchasing, inventory management, project management, warehouse management, and light manufacturing.

CRM capabilities are basic and focused on customer tracking and sales interactions; for full CRM, users typically integrate with Dynamics 365 Sales. The system also includes basic HR, service management, and reporting functions.

More advanced features like demand forecasting or production planning require customization or additional Microsoft ecosystem components.

Industry focus

Best suited for small to mid-sized companies in professional services, wholesale distribution, retail, and light manufacturing. Often selected by organizations already operating within the Microsoft ecosystem.

Implementation time

Deployments typically take 2-6 months depending on process complexity, customization requirements, and integration needs. Implementation is usually accelerated when standard configurations and prebuilt templates are used.

Deployment options

Business Central is available primarily as a SaaS solution via Microsoft's public cloud (Azure). An on-premises version is also available but less commonly deployed. Hybrid deployment options are limited and may require “partner-led” architectural support.

NetSuite

Features

NetSuite is a multi-tenant cloud ERP designed for businesses seeking a standardized platform across finance, inventory, CRM, and ecommerce. Delivered entirely as SaaS, NetSuite operates on a single codebase with automated updates and centralized data. NetSuite uses pre-configured vertical solutions to sometimes accelerate deployment, but customization beyond standard templates requires scripting or partner-led development.

Core modules

NetSuite includes core modules for financial management, order management, inventory control, procurement, CRM, project accounting, and ecommerce. The platform also offers modules for revenue recognition, billing, fixed assets, subscription management, and time tracking. More specialized capabilities, like advanced manufacturing or warehouse management, are available through separate brand modules (e.g., SuitePeople, SuiteCommerce Advanced, NetSuite WMS) and are not included by default in the base system.

Industry focus

NetSuite supports a broad range of SMBs across wholesale distribution, ecommerce, professional services, SaaS, and multi-subsidiary organizations. It is often used by companies with international operations due to its strong multi-entity, multi-currency, and tax localization features.

Implementation time

Implementation times on average are 4-9 months, depending on the number of modules, custom workflows, data migration, and whether SuiteSuccess templates are used. Additional modules or third-party extensions can extend the timeline.

Deployment options

NetSuite is delivered exclusively as a cloud-based SaaS solution through Oracle's infrastructure. No on-premises or private cloud options.

Odoo

Features

Odoo is an open-source ERP platform built on a modular framework. Its architecture allows companies to start with a basic functionality and scale by adding apps.

Odoo is known for its flexibility and accessibility to developers, but this openness can cause many features to rely on third-party modules of varying quality, and core platform updates often require custom code adjustments that can introduce maintenance overhead, especially for companies without internal development resources.

Core modules

Odoo's officially supported core modules include Accounting, Inventory, Sales, Purchase, MRP, CRM, Project, Timesheets, HR, and Ecommerce. These modules are natively integrated and share a unified data model. Additional first-party apps cover POS, Marketing Automation, Field Service, Helpdesk, and Subscription Management. Other functionalities may require customization or extensions that are not part of the core platform.

Industry focus

Odoo is used across almost all industries due to its modularity and flexibility. However, Odoo lacks industry-specific depth compared to vertically focused ERP systems.

Implementation time

Deployments typically range from 2 to 6 months, depending on the number of modules, level of customization, and whether the Community or Enterprise edition is selected. Heavier customizations, especially those involving non-standard workflows or third-party app dependencies, may extend the timeline and require additional testing during upgrades.

Deployment options

Basic implementations using standard modules via Odoo Online may complete within a few weeks, but more typical SMB deployments (accounting, inventory, CRM, and manufacturing) require 3-6 months. Deployments involving self-hosted environments, third-party modules, or custom development can extend beyond 6 months, especially when upgrade testing and localization are factored in.

Priority Software

Features

Priority ERP is a comprehensive ERP platform that supports end-to-end business operations through a single system. All modules operate on a unified data model, which eliminates the need for third-party integration between core functions like finance, inventory, CRM, and manufacturing.

The system offers true flexibility without extensive development, and includes native mobile apps, built-in business intelligence tools, and configurable automation engines. REST API support enables integration with external platforms when needed, but most operational requirements are handled internally, minimizing system fragmentation.

Core modules

Priority's core modules include Financial Management, supply chain, Inventory and Purchasing, Sales and CRM, Manufacturing, WMS, Human Resources, Retail Management, Project Management, Service and Support, and Mobile ERP.

These modules are developed and maintained as part of a single product suite, sharing a common logic, interface, and database.

Industry focus

Priority ERP supports a wide range of industries through dedicated, verticalized solutions designed to address sector-specific operational and regulatory requirements.

These include discrete and process manufacturing, retail and ecommerce, medical device and pharmaceutical production, construction and project-based industries, agriculture, wholesale and distribution, financial services, electronics and high-tech, and professional services.

Each solution is built on the same core platform but configured with industry-specific workflows, templates, and compliance frameworks to reduce implementation effort and deliver immediate operational alignment.

Implementation time

Priority ERP implementations vary based on business size, configuration needs, and process complexity. When using industry-specific off-the-shelf solutions, and considering the self-service customization capabilities, deployment can be completed within a few weeks.

For businesses requiring tailored workflows, multi-site setups, or legacy data migration, implementations can be complete in anywhere between 1-6 months.

Deployment options

Priority ERP is available as a SaaS solution hosted in the cloud, on-premises, or in hybrid configurations. All deployment models support full mobile functionality, with native applications for smartphones and tablets.

System upgrades are managed centrally and apply consistently across modules without interrupting core business processes.

Rootstock

Features

Rootstock is a cloud-native ERP built on the Salesforce Platform, designed primarily for manufacturers, distributors, and project-driven organizations.

By leveraging Salesforce's infrastructure, Rootstock offers native interoperability with Salesforce CRM and other ecosystem tools like Service Cloud and CPQ.

The platform supports complex production planning, inventory control, and quote-to-cash processes. Rootstock inherits Salesforce's licensing model, user interface conventions, and configuration environment.

Core modules

Rootstock includes modules for Financial Management, Inventory and Order Management, Manufacturing Operations, Project Control, Procurement, Engineering Change Control, and Cost Accounting.

The system also supports native integration with Salesforce CRM and Salesforce CPQ for end-to-end lead-to-cash processes. Reporting and analytics are handled through Salesforce-native tools, such as Lightning Reports and Tableau CRM.

Industry focus

Rootstock is tailored for SMBs in discrete manufacturing, engineer-to-order, configure-to-order, and project-based industries. It is also adopted by companies in aerospace and defense, medical devices, industrial equipment, and high-tech sectors that require traceability, lot control, and compliance.

Implementation time

Deployment typically ranges from 6 to 12 months, depending on the number of modules, complexity of Salesforce environment setup, and whether a company already uses Salesforce CRM. Implementation times are generally longer for organizations migrating from non-Salesforce systems.

Deployment options

Rootstock is available exclusively as a cloud-based solution on the Salesforce Platform. It operates within Salesforce's multi-tenant architecture and inherits its security, update, and infrastructure policies.

Sage X3

Features

Sage X3 is an enterprise-grade ERP system designed for growing midsize businesses, particularly those in manufacturing, distribution, and process industries. The platform offers a flexible data model, configurable workflows. It includes native tools for batch production, traceability, and compliance-especially relevant to regulated sectors.

Sage X3 is less reliant on third-party integrations than other Sage products, but some functions such as advanced business intelligence, ecommerce, or specialized payroll may still require external tools or Sage ISV partners.

Customization is typically done through SAFE X3 technology, with support for both code-level extensions and UI-level configuration.

Core modules

Sage X3 includes native modules for Financial Management, Sales and Customer Service, Inventory Management, Purchasing, Manufacturing, Project Management, CRM, and Fixed Assets. It also supports quality control, traceability, and multi-site management as part of its standard feature set.

Industry focus

The system is used widely in food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, consumer goods, distribution, and industrial manufacturing. It is particularly strong in sectors requiring lot tracking, batch control, and regulatory compliance.

Implementation time

Deployment typically ranges from 6-10 months, depending on configuration, localization, and complexity.

Deployment options

Sage X3 is available in cloud-hosted, partner-hosted, or on-premises environments, supporting both single-tenant and private cloud models, with deployment handled through Sage business partners. Hybrid models are possible but require additional infrastructure planning.

SAP Business One

Features

SAP Business One is SAP's ERP solution for small and mid-sized businesses, offering a streamlined version of the company's enterprise software.

It's designed to manage finance, sales, inventory, and basic manufacturing within a single platform. The system provides standard reporting and some automation tools, and it integrates well with other SAP products.

That said, more advanced features-like complex reporting, planning, or warehouse operations-often require separate add-ons or external tools. It's a good option for businesses that want to align with SAP's ecosystem but don't need the scale or complexity of its enterprise solutions.

Core modules

Business One includes modules for financials, purchasing, inventory, sales, project management, service, and basic production. It also includes CRM capabilities and supports multicurrency transactions and multi-warehouse setups.

While these modules cover core business processes, features like demand planning, advanced manufacturing, or supply chain forecasting usually require additional software or SAP certified extensions.

Industry focus

SAP Business One is used by companies in wholesale distribution, light manufacturing, retail, and professional services. It's especially appealing to businesses that are growing and want to standardize their operations while staying within the SAP ecosystem.

However, it's not typically recommended for businesses with highly complex manufacturing processes or strict regulatory requirements.

Implementation time

For companies with simple needs and minimal customization, implementations can take as little as 2-3 months. Setups that require historical data migration or custom workflows typically range from 4-6 months.

Deployment options

SAP BO can be deployed on-premises or in the cloud, usually through a partner. Most cloud deployments are hosted by third-party vendors (not SAP directly). The system can run on either Microsoft SQL Server or SAP's own HANA database, depending on needs.

SYSPRO

Features

SYSPRO is a modular ERP solution designed for manufacturers and distributors, offering deep functionality in inventory management, production planning, procurement, and financials.

The system supports both discrete and process manufacturing and includes tools for traceability, quality control, and product configuration.

One of SYSPRO's key strengths is its industry focus, especially in environments that require strong control over material movements, lot tracking, and compliance. The platform is known for its stability and mature feature set, although it generally requires experienced partners or internal IT resources for customization or automation.

Core modules

SYSPRO includes native modules for Financial Management, Inventory Management, Sales and Purchasing, Manufacturing (including MRP, BOM, and shop floor control), Warehouse Management, CRM, Quality Management, and Business Analytics.

Industry focus

SYSPRO is widely used in industries such as industrial equipment, food and beverage, electronics, metal fabrication, automotive components, and packaging. It's best suited for SMBs that require strong production control, traceability, and distribution capabilities without the overhead of a multi-layered enterprise system.

Implementation time

Typically range from 4-9 months, depending on the modules, customization needs, and legacy system complexity. Standard implementations using preconfigured templates can be completed more quickly.

Deployment options

SYSPRO supports flexible deployment: cloud (public or private), on-premises, or hybrid. The same codebase is used across all environments, allowing companies to transition between deployment models if operational needs change.

How to choose the right ERP solution for your SMB

There's no one-size-fits-all ERP. The best choice for you depends on what your business needs today and what it might need a year or two from now.

If you're running a manufacturing operation, for example, you'll want strong production planning tools and inventory control that doesn't break when things scale.

Distributors should look for built-in warehouse management and supplier tracking. Service-based businesses might care more about CRM and project billing.

Be clear about your internal capacity too. Will your team be able to pick it up quickly, or will they need weeks of training? Can your internal team support it, or will you rely on a partner long-term? And what happens when you grow-will the system grow with you, or will you be back at square one?

Look for systems that give you the flexibility to scale, but don't force you to start with more complexity than you need. The right ERP should meet your current requirements while making it easier-not harder-to evolve your processes as your business grows.

What to look for in an ERP solution for SMBs

If you're comparing systems, here are a few considerations that can make a big difference:

  • Built-in tools, not bolt-ons: The fewer third-party apps you need to manage, the easier it'll be to maintain your system-and the more reliable your data will be.
  • Fast onboarding. Look for vendors that offer pre-configured templates or industry-specific setups. It can shave weeks off your timeline and help you avoid starting from scratch.
  • Scalability: A system that works for 10 users should still work when you have 50. That means modular options, flexible licensing, and the ability to add functionality as you go.
  • Transparent costs: Don't just look at license fees-ask about implementation, support, updates, and future add-ons. Some systems seem affordable up front but can become expensive once you start growing.
  • Deployment options: Whether you prefer cloud, on-prem, or something hybrid, your ERP should support the model that fits your operations-not force you into one.
