Monitor ERP System vs MRP One

Monitor ERP System is a cloud ERP system optimized for manufacturing companies. Its standard solution covers planning, production, integrated financial management, and reporting, including materials and demand planning, capacity planning, and production orders. The Monitor ERP cloud plan costs €93 a month, billed per user, and includes the complete ERP solution. Browser access works with Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari; Monitor Mobile is available in a browser and as Android and iOS apps. A Windows client remains usable during a transition period but is planned for phase-out. Integrations connect the system with MES, warehouse and logistics, finance, e-commerce, CRM, EDI, shipping, CAD, and other business systems. These connections require Full Access API access and API licenses; partner integrations also need a partner API key. The web client includes MAiA for questions, summaries, analysis, and text help. Monitor also calculates product and production carbon footprints for sustainability reporting. Founded in 1974, the company is headquartered in Hudiksvall, Sweden.

MRP One is a cloud MRP II platform for manufacturers, covering production planning, materials, workloads and shop-floor operations. Its MRP engine calculates purchasing requirements from bills of materials, sales orders, inventory and supplier lead times. Planning tools include AI-assisted demand forecasting, automatic and manual scheduling, Gantt charts, conflict detection and capacity alerts. Inventory management shows stock levels and reservations, allocates materials, flags shortages and tracks stock movements. Workers can report labor, machine time, scrap and quality data using barcode scanning or touchscreen input. MRP One lists metalworking and fabrication, furniture and woodworking, electronics and assembly, textiles and apparel, and custom manufacturing as target industries. It runs entirely in the cloud, without installation or on-premises deployment. Enterprise plans include custom API integrations; other customers can discuss integration needs with the company. The free plan is limited to one user, 12 workcenters, 15 workers, 25 active orders and a 1 GB database. Small Teams costs €115 a month, while Growing Teams costs €175 a month.
