Web-native ERP with published pricing, native accounting, and no-code configurability. Remarkably broad vertical coverage out of the box — from electronics and OEM/ETO to job shop, distribution, and process manufacturing. On-premise option available.

editor's note: Pricing is unusual and transparent — $50/user/month. Vertical breadth — electronics, OEM/ETO, job shop, distribution, even process/chemical — signals genuine architectural flexibility and no-code configurability. Native accounting included. Full ERP out of the box, at a price point that shouldn't be possible.

Published pricing ($50/user/mo), cloud-native since day one, compliance-ready for AS9100/ITAR — the best TCO transparency and SMB accessibility in the contract manufacturing segment.
