What are the key considerations when switching ERP systems?
How price scales with revenue
Whether billing is tied to a revenue band, a monthly volume limit, or a percentage on the overage determines how predictable strong months and seasonal peaks are.User licences as your team grows
Tiered user allowances change the cost with every new person added to the system, which is why it's worth checking the licensing logic early.What limits apply at each pricing tier
Check whether the number of channels, users, and automations are tied to a specific plan tier, and when the next upgrade is due to avoid surprises.Depth of accounting
Which DATEV paths are included as standard, which run via add-on modules, and whether the transfer is automatic or triggered manually each period.How much effort until go-live
Migration scope, number of channels and workflow complexity determine how quickly a new system goes into productive use.
Why do companies choose Xentral?
Users are unlimited on every plan above Launch. Adding team members never raises your licence cost or forces a plan change.
Your plan price is based on annual revenue and order volume. There's no percentage fee charged on revenue above a limit.
The reporting agent builds reports from plain-text prompts, right inside the ERP rather than as a separate add-on. An MCP server connects Xentral to ChatGPT and Claude, so your team can ask questions and take action from chat.
Shops, marketplaces, payment and shipping providers connect through Xentral Connect, with no custom code or scripts to maintain. Special logic is set up in the workflow designer using triggers, conditions and actions.
Alongside file export and DATEV Company online, DATEV Invoice Data Service 1.0 sends data to your tax advisor automatically in the background, with no add-on module required.
Orders, stock, shipping, and invoices all live on the same data foundation, so stock levels and document data never need reconciling between separate applications.
Which system fits your business best?
Xentral is built for commerce businesses that sell physical products. Everything in it follows the flow of goods: order processing, warehousing with batches, serial numbers and best-before dates, picking and a shipping centre, connections to shops, marketplaces, payment providers and carriers, and the handover to accounting.
Xentral is the right fit if you want a lot of people working in the system without headcount setting the price of your plan, if you'd rather budget without a percentage cut of your revenue, and if fulfilment is where the weight sits: stock levels across channels, picking, shipping, status back to the channels, handover to DATEV.
PlentyONE is a multichannel commerce platform with PIM, order management, CRM, inventory management, its own online shop, and a no-code workflow engine. Its editions run from an entry level for sole traders up to enterprise setups.
PlentyONE is the right fit if you want a cheaper way in, work with a small team that fits inside the user allowances, and want product data management via PIM or your own online shop to come from the same platform. The same goes if you sell across a very large number of marketplaces and the breadth of the marketplace catalogue is what matters most.
