ERPNext vs. WinMan ERP Software

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

Winman ERP is well suited to our business and we have not felt the need to look further. The great strength for us is the MRP facility but each business is unique and must make it's own assessment. The accounting side just works - nothing to add here.

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

• MRP - our inventory forecasting is done within Winman using the MRP facility. This allows us to place timely orders with our suppliers.
• Inventory transfers and value uplifts (to reflect actual landed cost) are simply catered for and fully integrated into the accounting system.
• Integration with our website ensures that accurate data flows throughout the whole process.

• 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.

• Having used Winman ERP for a long time now it fully suits our needs.

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

My few queries are answered promptly.

As with any business project, a clear plan with clearly defined outcomes is key.

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

Having used Winman ERP for many years through various iterations we have not felt the need to look elsewhere

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

• The key thing is to be able to do more with less people, removing as much repetitive work as possible.
• More automation allows us to grow the business whilst being able to concentrate on core competencies that cannot be automated such as product development, branding and marketing.
• Inventory planning is simplified through the use of MRP. Top level skus are readily converted into POs for timely component procurement which means we have the best opportunity to fill sales orders.
