A most dependable platform for your organization.
Comments: For the past 7 years I've been an active user of MRPEasy through different organizations and it comes to no surprise that MRPEasy has always been up to the task. From metalworking to composite extrusion, this tool has been able to adapt to our very specific factory needs. Definitely a great aid in growing a small business to a medium size company!
Pros:
It's ease of use and friendly interface makes it easy to train and quick to migrate to. We have had very little to no resistance from personnel when migrating them to use the system.
Cons:
Limited customization on the dashboards and reports are also a bit simple.

MRPeasy for manufacturing 3D printer
Comments: Overall it is a very good package especially with the BOM. Also what I like is the continuous updating. Also in case of support the response is relatively quick.
Pros:
Back then, the most important feature was the multilayer BOM. Most competitors were only able to go 1 level deep. Or otherwise the costs would go up significantly. Also for us MRP easy became essential for stock management, purchasing, supplier management. The interface is also very intuitive compared to other softwares
Cons:
During procurement, you have to send a mail, this process can be improved. It opens directly to your mail account, but only a link to the PDF document. I want to attach the PDF. It takes the general contact information, instead of the responsible person of the company. Next to this it messes up the layout of the mail message.
Alternatives Considered: Odoo
Reasons for Switching to MRPeasy: The overall look and feel and during testing, it was the most complete package for our needs.

Thank you for your review! We're glad our multilayer BOM and intuitive interface meet your 3D printing needs. We appreciate your feedback!
Such a shame
Comments: I am pulling all of my customers away from it because a backup is the customer's data! To restrict it to a short time period is really not acceptable. After all the work is done so why force customers to do it again. For me this caused major embarrassment and had a negative impact on my reputation and as such I will not be associated with the software or business again. I am movint to Katana and will be pushing all past and future clients there too.
Pros:
The software is easy to pick up and run with. As a contracted product Development Manager I have set it up for many clients who continue to use it. Training is easy too. The system is smooth and intuitive and literally guides you to the correct sections as you progress. They didn't miss a trick.
Cons:
The trial does not allow you to back up for more than 30 days. As it takes 12 to 18 months to launch a product you can get bribed into paying a monthly premium as a contractor to keep the main purpose of the software in order during that time. Others allow you to trial backup then when you are ready upload your backup and hit the ground running saving money and time. MRP Easy however does not!

As usual, we provide a free trial of up to 30 days. It can be used up to 6 times. Yes, for security reasons, by default we do not allow uploading a backup from one account to another.
Excellent MRP system for this small manufacturer
Comments: Excellent product with excellent customer support. From the start, they were very helpful as we implemented and transitioned and continue to give us top notch support - even though we are a tiny business.
Pros:
One of the only MRP systems that fits our needs. We are a small manufacturer that sells wholesale to our dealers, and keeping track of our inventory and forecasting future manufacturing needs and purchasing requirements are key. MRPEasy has allowed us to meet both of those goals. Also, there customer support and success operations are very responsive and top notch!
Cons:
While it is good at the order processing function, there are some tweaks that could be made for those of us that drop ship to our dealer's customers. No deal breakers though - this is an excellent product.
Alternatives Considered: Zoho Inventory
Reasons for Choosing MRPeasy: Prior product did not have the functionality to forecast our manufacturing and purchasing needs and was too buggy.
Switched From: SOS Inventory
Reasons for Switching to MRPeasy: MRP forecasting capabilities. We need to see out 6-12 months due to long lead times for certain components.

Thank you for your review! We're delighted to hear that MRPeasy fits your manufacturing needs. We appreciate your feedback on the drop shipping tweaks and are always looking for ways to enhance our features. Thanks for choosing MRPeasy, and we look forward to continuing to support your business!
Multi-level OEM Production and Procurement Planning
Comments: Excellent. The product team continues to add functionality which has been helpful to us. We are growing along with the application.
Pros:
The system pegs all inventory which allows for detailed forward and backward production planning.
Cons:
We would like to have it plan production orders instead of having to manually drill down into our multi-level bill of materials.
Alternatives Considered: Aptean Industrial Manufacturing ERP Made2Manage Edition
Reasons for Choosing MRPeasy: The integration of MISys to Sage 50 was very burdensome. Also MISys is a traditional MRP system. It does not peg inventory lots for supply and demand.
Switched From: MISys Manufacturing
Reasons for Switching to MRPeasy: Ease of use and excellent functionality.

No fancy user interface and quite expensive but highly customizable and gets the job done.
Comments: MRPeasy was already partially implemented when I joined the company, and I did not have any previous experience with MRP systems when I joined. I initially thought that it was not the most user friendly system. It looks very "old school". We have been trying a few different systems, exact because our finace department uses exact, and we also gave odoo a try to perhaps move to more of a ERP system. However I felt that both exact and odoo was inferior to MRP easy, BUT, for the functionality that MRP easy offer I do feel that you charge a very high price for it. We pay 79 per user simply for a MRP system when for instance Odoo charges 39 for a ERP solution. We will definitely move away from MRP easy in the future, when we grow our manufacturing team, if you do not change this. I want my employees to be able to use functions like bar code scanning on their tablets without having to pay enterprise / professional subscriptions for them as well.
Pros:
I like that it is quite easy to customize the views, (once you have learned how to do it). The amount of customizable options are also very good compared to some other programs.
Cons:
I do feel that sometimes it is not completely logical to me where to find the settings, the way you have decided to put some settings under enterprise, some settings under professional etc makes it hard to find what I am looking for.
Alternatives Considered: Odoo
Reasons for Switching to MRPeasy: Easier to use, more customizable, and partially because it is such a big task to change system.

CEO of Afterone OÜ
Pros:
An intuitive, visually appealing, and capable ERP system that is truly easy to use!
Cons:
Only downside is that customization is limited as the program is the same for all users. However, with careful planning to accommodate everyone, we've had many successful customization projects with the MRPeasy team.
Alternatives Considered: SQL Monitor
Reasons for Switching to MRPeasy: User friendly and iduituve design. Web platform - no need for internal servers.

Very affordable MRP software for small business
Comments: In the end of the day i'm very pleased with the value for money MRPEasy provides.
Pros:
For us it was super easy to implement. Our previous stock and orders management system was Excel so all data was available in importable tables.
Cons:
We had to adjust your processes and thinking in some cases to follow software logic, instead of implementing our own existing routine. But i guess, this happens all time if you upgrade from very flexible Excel environment to MRP software.
Alternatives Considered: monday.com and Katana Cloud Inventory
Reasons for Switching to MRPeasy: For us the base functionality covered 98% of what we needed in 1-2 years perspective and the pricing was just super competitive.

Good MRP/ERP
Comments: Scheduling is the biggest problem we have solved with MRPeasy.
Pros:
We are a flooring manufacturer and this program gives me a good picture of what's happening each day. It also really helps me keep up with raw and finished inventory. Each of my employees has access to it which allows them to keep each project updated as it moves through the shop. It's been a game-changer for us. It frees me up from micro-managing each employee and gives the employees a view of the big picture. They have enjoyed that.
Cons:
The reporting features are a little confusing to figure out. We are still learning the program so haven't ran into a lot of features we would like to add.

Easy to use web-based MRP
Comments: Very happy using MRPeasy. It has significantly matured our business processes and has overall been a successful implementation in the business.
Pros:
Easy to add and remove users. Contextual help menu is very good. Learning videos are great. Subcontracting feature is crucial for us (can still be improved I believe.)
Cons:
It's not easy to get by without at least choosing the professional package. We eventually had to go Enterprise. But it earns its money back.
Alternatives Considered: Katana Cloud Inventory

Shor report
Comments: Overall, I'm happy with it. I would rate it 4 out of 5, but some of the math errors are not to my liking. You think that the program has calculated everything, and then you see that you have to check everything manually. Somewhere there's a glitch and you have to check the numbers manually.
Pros:
-good user-friendly interface- clarity- there is a minimum of necessary functions, which covers 90% of the functionality I need in my work.
Cons:
- mathematical errors in calculations.We independently explained to the support service that the rounding in the program was in error. It was corrected.- The data is not automatically updated everywhere. The biggest disadvantage !!! If I start to change data manually in a manufacturing order, they are not automatically updated in this order. If you make one change in the figures manually, you will have to check all the figures manually to make sure that everything corresponds.- The support team offers only solutions to standard problems. If you ask a non-standard question, they will offer you solutions that are already written in their instructions, but it is usually not suitable. They always respond quickly

Thank you for your detailed review. We proceed to improve our software permanently.
MRP Easy is the perfect fit to to our business with a fast learning curve and is easy to use.
Comments: On the whole the software fits us perfectly. We develop and build real new concepts and technical products and although we use full assemblies to build keeping our BOM's short and supply list down I can see that it can easily handle growth and more complex things. Its something that I think is critical as I don't want to waist time learning something else later.
Pros:
The progressive nature of the software and its ability to jump to the exact page you need. It's pretty too in the simplest non-cluttered clean way. Very we written with nothing to clutter things up or slow you down. I think it's excellent and would recommend it to anyone.
Cons:
I wish there was a button to jump straight to Bill of materials or even a custom shortcut ability to choose what you want it to jump to i.e. show all Bill of materials or what ever the user wanted to find. Like a star after a search has been done when selected it adds it to a favourites.

I can’t work without it.
Comments: My over all experience is positive and I have brought customers to this platform.
Pros:
I like MRP because it saves us from doing things manually and we always have a Birds Eye view of production.
Cons:
I dislike that somehow my resources get turned into decimals even though we only consume whole numbers.

MRP made Easy
Comments: Extremely good. We started with MRPEasy when they were still building out the product. We offered lots of insights and they used many of our suggestions in their final design. Now we use it every hour of every day.
Pros:
The functionality in MRPEasy is excellent. It has transformed our business
Cons:
Linking with our accounting system has been problematic and decided not to use it. However, I am confident that, with the right guidance from MRPEasy's support team, it can be done.

This was a game changer for our small business
Pros:
This cloud-based data management system really covers all the inventory. purchasing, and invoicing needs for our small manufacturing business. The nested framework of items and assemblies are very logical, and the customer management (quotes, invoicing, etc.) has been invaluable. I am able to get through the whole process from quoting to delivery without forgetting steps (like ordering a crucial part). The tutorials and online manual are very helpful, and customer support is quick to get back when there is a question.
Cons:
The logic for some of the calculations are not intuitive, and not always clear from the instructions. I figured out many of the functions by careful trial and error, but this could be because I don't have a business background and lack the terminology. The report layouts are a bit constrained if I need to add extra information.

A very good tool for small to medium production.
Comments: The MRPeasy helped us a lot in organizing our production after moving on from prototyping. After a few months system is working perfectly for us, and the new features come out regularly, and quite often on our own request. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is starting in the field of production, or these who already have the complicate enterprise systems which are not the good match for their needs (mostly stock control and manufacturing).
Pros:
- Nice design, web based - Excellent support, they answer mostly within a couple of hours. Contact is made through the application itself. - Fast development, implementation of requested functions - Easy to use after the proper training - Good price
Cons:
- It needs some time to understand the software functionality properly, but the help is good. - Sometimes the functions are not a perfect fit for your particular needs, but the support helps in this case. - Backup is supported only as a manual download of the database. It's not possible to choose a point in the past and restore if you haven't downloaded the database manually.

MRPeasy is a winner for online manufacturers
Comments: One of the absolute best manufacturing programs I've ever come across. It's multi-functional, yet understandable to standard users who just want to get a job done. It handles all of the item and BOM costings expertly in the actuals vs. planned screens and utilizes an excellent production scheduling format. Five stars!
Pros:
The ease of understanding. There are lots of parts but they all flow together, and the layout makes it easy for new users to grasp.
Cons:
It doesn't handle 'catch weights' in labeling, and layout of multiple Ship To addresses could be greatly improved.

Siven Sport Ltd Review
Comments: Although we are moving slowly with importing all necessary data so we can start operating the programme, our company is very satisfied with your product for the time being.
Pros:
MRPeasy is simple and easy to use while having all needed features for a small manufacturing like ours.
Cons:
Invoices can not be printed in Cyrillic. We faced some issues while importing tables with Cyrillic content, although all steps were adhered strictly. The programme produce long part numbers itself, which are rather confusing.

Comments: In the end, the program is easy to implement, easy to use and frees up time to do other things. No system is perfect. I am particularly satisfied with mrp because you don't have to click on it for nothing. Straightforward and easy.
Pros:
It's easy to use and easy to customize for our needs.
Cons:
There should be a more interfaces to other software. The user interface could be even leaner. It's not bad, but the contrast is a bit weak
