ERPNext vs. Expandable

It is so flexible and configurable that it can be fairly easily adapted to most situations.

Expandable fits our companies needs quite well to manage inventory, sales orders, and purchasing. We recently started to also use Expandable to track ECN changes. The ECN functionality is a little limited in the fact it is difficult to add descriptions or parts affected after it has been implemented. I would recommend having an additional program for managing ECN history

• Locally hosted, so it is very fast
• Help documents are pretty good
• Lots of flexibility in configuration

• Great way for everyone on the team to see the same information - sales orders, inventory, purchase orders etc
• The support team is always very responsive!!
• Very customizable to create links between screens

• Random errors (seem to be related to python) can be very difficult to troubleshoot.
• Creating reports and print/email documents is very cumbersome and confusing. Needs to have a WYSIWYG editor.

• Data entry on certain tasks can be very tedious (for example effected parts on an ECN)
• Sometimes data connections for upload are very slow or just flat out fail multiple times. The problem is intermittent so difficult for support to track and fix
• Certain fields cannot be pulled on a report and require engineering time to create a process to add functionality. It would be nice to have unfiltered access to all fields

Overall good, but needs some training to get people to be proficient in the system.

Wanted something flexible and with the ability to self-host. Open source is also nice.

• Neutral, needed to find a new system as the current system is being retired.

• Helps to provide accurate lead times to customers.
• Accurate revision recording for customer support
