Types of ERP systems
ERP systems are grouped a few ways — by where they run and by who they're built for. Understanding the types helps you choose one that fits your size and budget.
Common ways ERP is categorised
- By deployment: cloud vs on-premise
- By scope: full enterprise suites vs lightweight tools
- By business size: enterprise vs small-business ERP
Small businesses rarely need a full enterprise suite — a lightweight, cloud ERP for products and inventory is usually the right fit.
