Proceed with caution
Small manufacturer ERP for discrete and job shop environments

Masterplan ERP is a compact ERP targeting very small manufacturers and job shops. Covers the basics: BOM, work orders, inventory, purchasing, and accounting integration. Designed for sub-50-employee operations that need integrated production tracking without full ERP cost.
Entry-level ERP with appropriate scope for very small manufacturers — but the legacy architecture and minimal online presence make it a niche recommendation for buyers who already know the product from a referral rather than discovering it through research.
