When it comes to managing the supply chain, SAP has long been considered the gold standard for large enterprises. However, small businesses often find SAP's complex features and high costs less than ideal for their needs.
Fortunately, the market is ripe with alternatives that pack a punch without breaking the bank. Here, are, in our opinion, the top five best alternatives to SAP for small businesses:
Relatico stands out as the front-runner for small businesses looking for an all-encompassing solution. Unlike SAP, which can be overwhelming, Relatico offers a user-friendly interface and tailored functionality that small businesses require. With Relatico you are also never alone, as they have one of the best customer support on the market.
Functionality: From document management to seamless communication, Relatico offers the variety of functions that small businesses need. You can manage your supply chain with greater ease, thanks to its intuitive design that requires minimal training.
Customization: Relatico shines when it comes to customization. The software is built to adapt to the specific needs of small businesses, allowing users to tailor the system to their unique workflows and processes.
Cost-Efficiency: With Relatico, you pay for what you use. There are no hefty license fees or hidden costs, making it a financially viable option for small businesses that need to optimize their budget.
Odoo is an open-source alternative that gives small businesses a suite of tools for supply chain management, including inventory, purchasing, and sales.
Flexibility: Being open-source, Odoo allows for extensive customization. However, this often requires technical expertise that a small business may not have in-house.
Integration: Odoo offers a modular approach, but integrating these modules into a seamless workflow can be challenging for those without technical skills.
Zoho Inventory specializes in inventory management and order fulfillment, making it suitable for businesses focused on these aspects.
User-Friendly: It has an approachable user interface, but its specialization in inventory means it lacks the broader SCM functionality.
Online Sales Integration: Zoho Inventory integrates well with online sales channels but may fall short in managing the full spectrum of supply chain activities.
NetSuite is a cloud-based ERP solution offering extensive features that scale with your business.
Scalability: It's great for businesses with growth aspirations, but the extensive features can be overkill for those who need a more focused tool.
Complexity: The software's complexity can be a deterrent for small businesses that require a straightforward solution.
Infor CloudSuite offers industry-specific solutions but is often geared more towards medium to large-sized businesses.
Tailored Solutions: While it provides tailored solutions, the cost and complexity can be high for small businesses.
Industry Focus: Its focus on industries can be a plus, but small businesses might find it less flexible for cross-industry functionality.
