Honest assessment

Which one fits your business?

Stick with SAP Business One if…

  • You have 100+ employees across multiple entities or plants.
  • You need group-level financial consolidation and complex reporting.
  • You have dedicated IT team and budget for a 6-month implementation.
  • You need deep integration with SAP already used by your parent company.

Switch to FactoStack if…

  • You run a factory with 10–100 employees and don't need group ERP.
  • You want manufacturing operations live in 2 days, not 6 months.
  • Budget is ₹1K–₹2K/month — not ₹5–15 lakh upfront.
  • Your team is non-technical and needs something they can use without training.
  • You keep Tally for accounting and just need an operations layer.
