ERP?? - Agriculture, Distribution, Bulk Storage

What ERP are you guys using or evaluating or implementing? We recently wrapped up a NetSuite implementation (is it ever over?!), but found it to be expensive for a weak (manufacturing) ERP environment.

I have a lot of experience with a company called rsasoftware.com. I find it very flexible and customizable. The shortfall is the ux is very outdated. If you can live without that highly recommend. Happy to to discuss offline.

We use Odoo and I personally like it because it is very flexible and malleable. It is also at least 1/2 price of Netsuite. However you need to like thinking and understanding about these types of softwares. I am speaking on a quasi daily basis with the implementation team for the past 3 years, as i am still refining some things, adding some others, still get some training as there are soooo many functions. The maintenance budget is about $600 months on top of the monthly fee. Odoo is also a fast moving company and you have to upgrade to the latest version every 3 years if you are on the SH (cloud) platform. I just got a quote today to go from V13 to V16 for 23k. But then by the end of the year the V17 will be out and I will have to upgrade between v19 and v20. I know some people like netsuite but I am very happy with what I have and all of the employees got used to it pretty quickly as well.
