webERP vs Ximple ERP

webERP is a free, web-based, open-source accounting and business management system for businesses of all sizes. It brings together accounts receivable and payable, general ledger, bank accounts, inventory, purchasing, order management, and manufacturing tools, with support for multiple entities. Manufacturing functions include multi-level bills of materials, work orders, and material requirements planning; capacity requirements planning and MRP II are not available. The project says it is available in 37 languages. webERP runs on a PHP-capable web server and is operating-system independent, but it requires a MySQL or MariaDB database. Deployment is on-premise and self-hosted, under the GNU General Public License v2 at free. The system provides role-based access, transaction audit trails, optional SSL encryption, account lockout after three incorrect passwords, and protections against SQL injection and cross-site scripting. Its XML-RPC API lets external programs retrieve and update data, but can access only one company per installation. The project also maintains webSHOP and CounterLogicPOS portals.

Ximple ERP is business software for wholesale distributors, combining purchasing, inventory, warehouse operations, accounting, sales, and eCommerce. Its modules also cover finance, logistics, document management, customer and vendor relations, employee relations, and global tax tables. Distribution-specific tools include matrix pricing, vendor rebates, counter sales, VMI, and buying group integration. The customer portal lets buyers place orders, check real-time inventory and pricing, and view invoices and order history. The cloud ERP features page lists support for 1–100+ companies and 1–1000+ users, with consolidation across organizations and connectivity across locations. Ximple ERP is offered as cloud and on-premises deployments; the maker describes on-premises as suited to organizations with dedicated IT staff. The vendor says the database-independent system works in any web browser. Listed integrations include EDI providers, shipping carriers, buying groups, and data feeds, with custom integrations available through a REST API. Pricing is on request.
