Which fits your production strategy?
The choice starts with how you produce, not with the vendor. Read per strategy what an ERP should cover.
Three questions that decide the cost
How much custom work is needed?
Moving fit-to-standard keeps cost predictable. Read what remains in configuration, data, integrations and your own hours.
Does the accounting stay in place?
Which systems have their own financial accounting and when do you keep your current package? What Digital WorkMate does and does not do.
Which requirements weigh most?
A checklist to assess every system on the same points: processes, data, integrations, machines and cost.

We compare Bemet, Ridder iQ, Isah, MKG, Starcode ERP, Trimergo, Exact for Manufacturing and Digital WorkMate. The overview is not exhaustive; per system the sources are on the comparison page.
Is Digital WorkMate a Dutch ERP?
Digital WorkMate is delivered by a company in Eindhoven and built for complex manufacturing. It is a cloud platform with ERP, shop floor, IT/OT, open API and AI in one system.
Which ERP fits my production strategy?
That depends on whether you design to customer specification (engineer-to-order), make to order or make many different products in small quantities (high-mix/low-volume), and on your machines, financial system and company size. Use the ERP Fit Scan for a first indication and the checklist to assess systems on the same points.
Does Digital WorkMate have its own accounting?
Yes, an own general ledger with automatic postings from operations, bank and VAT. It is partially available: there is no consolidation across entities or countries. You can also keep your current financial system.
