Manufacturing built around your floor, not their template.
SAP Business One has solid SMB manufacturing and a global partner network behind it. SimpleGrid is the opposite bet: custom ERP, built at our risk, paid for only after it works. We carry the build cost, you run it free for 30 days on your real floor, and you pay only if you keep it. We're the only vendor in the category that lets you see it work before you pay.
Deep enough for your floor. Without the partner-led rollout.
SAP Business One has solid SMB manufacturing and a partner network. SimpleGrid skips the partner project - live on your floor in 7-14 days, at our cost.
How they compare.
| SGSimpleGrid | SAPSAP Business One | |
|---|---|---|
| SMB manufacturing functionality | Configured to your exact workflow | Solid built-in MRP and BOM |
| UI / floor adoption | Only your screens - fewer fields, less to learn | Team learns SAP's module structure |
| Implementation timeline | Live in 7-14 days | Months, partner-led |
| Implementation cost | Built at our cost - paid only if you keep it | ~$25K-$150K up front |
| Customization model | Configured directly into the system | 500+ partner add-ons, $1K-$10K each + recurring |
| Brand & trust | Newer name - credibility earned on the floor | SAP name banks and auditors trust |
| Partner network | You work directly with us - no VAR | Global VAR network |
| Upgrade path | System evolves - configured, not re-implemented | Clear path into S/4HANA |
Three reasons it lands on the floor.
Only your features.
The system carries the screens, fields and rules your operation runs - nothing else. Less to learn. More to use.
Built at our risk, paid for only if it works.
Every ERP vendor makes you pay first and hope it works. We flipped it. We build the working system at our cost, before you write a check. Run it on your real floor for 30 days. Pay only if you keep it.
Any workflow built in.
Multi-stage, contractors, QC, costing - configured directly. Not quoted as a customization. Not bought as a module.
For a single-plant shop under $30M
SAP Business One is strong for distribution and multi-entity finance, but a single-plant manufacturer under about $30M usually pays for breadth it never uses, plus a partner for every change. A system shaped to your floor is a closer fit.
