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.

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.

^redacted‌ curious as to what you have ended up implementing. I have subscribed to a handful of software anywhere from grain management, farm budgetting and planning. issue I am facing now is that it is difficult to sync all data to one place in order to analyse.. Thoughts?
