Vendor Fit
A Qualitative Fit Guide
Applicant tracking and CRM capability lead the evaluation.
| Platform | Typically strong when | Check carefully | Question for recruitment agencies |
|---|---|---|---|
| Zoho | Growing businesses that want CRM, accounting and inventory connected | Deep manufacturing or project-costing needs may require extra apps or custom work | Does the Zoho app set cover this process, or would Creator or custom work be needed? |
| Odoo | Trading, distribution and retail businesses | Heavy customisation makes upgrades harder, so scope it carefully | Which Odoo apps and edition cover this, and what would need customisation? |
| ERPNext | Companies that want control over their system and data | Hosting, upgrades and support need a clear owner | Does the core ERPNext module cover this, and who will host and support it? |
| Microsoft Dynamics 365 | Organisations already standardised on Microsoft tools | Licensing is detailed and should be reviewed against your roles | Is Business Central enough, or does this need the enterprise applications? |
| Custom ERP | Businesses with highly specific workflows | Higher upfront effort and long-term maintenance responsibility | Is the process unusual enough to justify a custom build instead of a standard platform? |
