Cost Comparison
Most ERP systems are priced according to the number of software users needed and the level of access each of these users will require from the system. According to most industry leaders and publications, the average a manufacturing or complex distribution company can expect to pay is about $4,000* per user.
*SAP Business One is lower than the average ERP user cost at $3,154 / per user
Implementation Cost Factors
There are many factors that influence the actual cost of any ERP implementation: the company’s industry, the size of the company, the anticipated transaction volume, scope and complexity of the implementation, and the number of third-party integrations, to name a few. Most implementation costs are calculated based on a ratio of software to services. The more the company implementing the ERP system can handle on its own without relying on external vendors, the closer the software-to-services ratio can get to 1 to 1. For most companies of average size and complexity, however, it is more common to see software to services ratios of 1 to 3.
