When not to buy a full ERP suite

Full suites shine when manufacturing, CRM, and GL must share one vendor. Many distributors outgrow spreadsheets before they outgrow a focused inventory layer.

  • Signals you are not ready for a suite

    If your pain is stock mismatch and document chaos, not multi-plant MRP, a narrower tool often ships value in weeks instead of quarters.

  • What focused inventory ERP covers

    HEITHON ships dashboard, catalog, partners, procurement, sales, inventory, orders, and settings documented on the features page.

  • Grow into more later

    Read-only API and exports let you feed BI or accounting tools. Re-evaluate a suite when shop-floor routing or consolidated ledger work become daily blockers.

Stop reconciling spreadsheets.

Create a workspace, import or add master data, and post your first receipt or shipment to see totals align.
