MRPeasy Manufacturing ERP

I used to work corporate and used all the fancy and expensive ERP systems out there. When I started my own business I did a ton of research and found MRPeasy. They rock. Great support, relatively easy to learn and use. I can create part numbers, PO's, BOMs, and keep track of all my costs. Its great.

We switched from Katana MRP and are very happy so far--highly recommend MRPeasy (more on the comparison later). Currently on the Enterprise plan which I believe is fairly priced, includes multiple production sites. It's very easy to add products, subs, and BOMs. Support is very good at guiding and explaining rationale on why something is set up the way it is. The app works very well and is quite responsive for our company with about 200-300 SKUs, parts, and subs.

There were a few issues we had; in one instance we had sub-assemblies at warehouse 2 and put in a manufacturing order at warehouse #1, which required transferring subs to complete. The system kind of locks you down and assumes for instance (by automatically opening sub MOs) that you need to make more subs. Support however was very helpful here in letting us know how to easily work around the issue by changing the MO expected quantities in conjunction with making a transfer order so that we did not have to delete and do all of the work for a new MO.

Compared to Katana, you get more here. at the lower pricing tiers I think. We routinely had trouble with Katana factoring in incorrect and buggy negative stock values. Moreover, we were also told many quarters ago that Katana was supposed to be adding a fixed cost field to POs which wasn't there yet before we moved to MRPe. I love that MRPe can factor in fixed costs to new stock.

We are glad that we switched into the $99/month enterprise plan with MRPe.

Great ERP system, very clear and intuitive to use.

This is a great MRP system for small or medium sized businesses that need to keep track of inventory and Production records.

It allows for good customizations, but it is still has some room to grow. The usability and learning curve is lengthy as there is a ton of details on how everything works together that needs to be learned. Even after 6 months I have not been able to use all of the options available and although they have great online resources for learning, a person to chat to would make things much easier.

The hardest thing I have found is that syncing updates from one Tab to the next causes grief. When you switch between tabs you need to make sure to refresh if you made any changes on another tab.

In all it is a great system for the prices point.

Great app, seamless integration with the rest of the software.
