Vendor Fit ## A Qualitative Fit Guide Scanning and location control are the key selection criteria. **Qualitative comparison, not a ranking** | Platform | Typically strong when | Check carefully | Question for warehousing | | 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? | Method ## How We Decide This is guidance for shortlisting, not a ranking.
