How to evaluate ERP & Financials

This is how the CIOPages Research Team evaluates this category. It is not an assessment of Planful. It comes from our Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) buyer guide.

25%
Industry & Process Fit
Out-of-the-box depth for your sector (discrete/process manufacturing, distribution, asset-intensive, services, public sector), last-mile vertical functionality, and how much standard process you can adopt vs. must customize
20%
Financials & Multi-Entity Core
GL, consolidation, intercompany, multi-currency/multi-book, statutory and tax localization for every country you operate in, period-close automation, and audit/controls depth
20%
Supply Chain & Operations
Procurement, inventory, order management, planning (MRP/MPS/demand), manufacturing execution, warehouse, and service/field operations — weighted to whichever your business actually runs on
15%
Implementation & Upgradability
Partner ecosystem depth and quality, pre-configured industry templates, clean-core extensibility (side-by-side vs. modifying the core), and the cadence and disruption of mandatory updates
10%
Extensibility, Integration & AI
Low-code/composition platform (BTP, Power Platform, SuiteScript), open APIs and event integration, embedded AI/agents for close, planning, and procurement, and how far AI is GA vs. roadmap
10%
Cloud Model & TCO Fit
Public multi-tenant vs. private single-tenant, deployment options (cloud/hybrid/on-prem), licensing unit (per-user, consumption, capacity), and total program economics over a decade-long horizon
