A custom ERP, built at our risk - paid for only after it works.
NetSuite has genuine mid-market manufacturing coverage in one platform - production, work orders, BOM, inventory, finance, CRM. SimpleGrid goes deeper on the specific factory floor: built around your exact workflow, live in 7-14 days. We carry the build cost; you run it free on your real floor for 30 days and pay only if you keep it. Every ERP vendor makes you pay first and hope it works. We flipped it. SimpleGrid is the only vendor in the category that lets you see it work before you pay.
Built around the floor. Not configured onto a finance platform.
NetSuite has real mid-market manufacturing coverage in one platform. SimpleGrid goes deeper on the specific factory floor - and lands in 7-14 days, not 12-20 weeks.
How they compare.
| SGSimpleGrid | NSNetSuite | |
|---|---|---|
| One platform (finance + ops + CRM) | Single coherent system | All-in-one - no third-party for the core |
| Mid-market manufacturing coverage | Configured to your exact workflow | Solid for $5M-$200M operations |
| Multi-subsidiary financials | Reports off a single ledger of events | Deep - multi-entity consolidation |
| Brand & ecosystem | Earned on the floor | Trusted by investors, auditors, acquirers |
| UI / floor adoption | Only your screens - no training overhead | Team learns a broad platform |
| Implementation timeline | Live in 7-14 days | 12-20 weeks for manufacturing |
| Implementation cost | Built at our cost | $75K-$200K up front |
| Pricing model | One subscription - paid only if you keep it | A-la-carte modules drive cost creep |
Three reasons it goes deeper on the floor.
Built around your operation.
NetSuite is a broad mid-market suite the team adapts to. SimpleGrid is shaped to one operation - only your screens, only your workflow.
Live in 7-14 days.
Built at our cost. Run on your real floor for 30 days. Pay only if you keep using it.
Any workflow built in.
Multi-stage, contractors, QC, costing - configured directly into the system. No SuiteScript engagement.
For a sub-$50M custom manufacturer
If you are a make-to-order shop under about $50M in revenue, NetSuite is often more platform than you need: broad, powerful, and priced and implemented for larger, multi-entity finance teams. A system built around your one floor lands faster and costs less to run.
