ERPAG

An ERP That Costs Less Than Your Coffee Budget

ERPAG launched in 2016 from Belgrade, Serbia with a radical premise: small businesses deserve ERP software that doesn't require a second mortgage. The free tier gives a single user access to inventory management, basic manufacturing, sales, purchasing, and reporting. Paid plans start at $35/month for up to 3 users.

That pricing alone makes it worth a look. But does cheap mean bad?

What You Actually Get

ERPAG covers the core ERP modules that micro-businesses need. Inventory management handles multiple warehouses, serial and batch tracking, reorder alerts, and stock transfers. The manufacturing module supports BOMs, work orders, and basic production tracking — enough for simple assembly and light manufacturing.

Sales order management includes quotes, sales orders, invoices, and packing slips. Purchasing covers purchase orders, goods receiving, and vendor management. All modules connect, so a sales order can trigger a manufacturing order which generates purchase orders for missing materials. That's real ERP logic at a fraction of the typical cost.

The interface is clean and modern — surprisingly so for the price point. It runs entirely in the browser with no software installation required. Mobile access works through the responsive web interface.

Integrations That Matter

ERPAG connects with QuickBooks Online, Xero, Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, and Amazon. For a $35/month tool, that's impressive integration coverage. The API allows custom integrations, and Zapier connectivity extends reach further.

Where ERPAG Breaks Down

Scale is the enemy. Once you hit 20+ users or manage more than a few thousand SKUs, performance degrades and feature gaps become painful. There's no advanced planning, no CRM, no quality management, and no field service capabilities.

Support operates on Belgrade business hours. If you're in the US and hit a critical issue at 2 PM Eastern, you might wait until the next morning for a response. The knowledge base is decent but the community is small.

Customisation options are limited. What you see is what you get — there's no SDK, no custom modules, no scripting engine. You work within ERPAG's framework or you look elsewhere.

The Honest Verdict

ERPAG is perfect for startups and micro-businesses that need structured operations without structured pricing. Use it as your first ERP, outgrow it in 2-3 years, and migrate to something bigger. That's not a criticism — that's exactly the role it fills brilliantly.
