MRPeasy

MRPeasy is a cloud-based MRP (Material Requirements Planning) and manufacturing-ERP product from the Estonian MRPeasy OÜ and targets small and medium-sized manufacturing organisations with approximately ten to two hundred employees. The platform was founded in 2014 and positions itself as a self-service SaaS system that becomes operational within a few weeks and closes the typical gap between spreadsheets, generic ERP suites and expensive industry software. According to vendor figures more than 2,000 manufacturers worldwide use MRPeasy, including small-series producers, contract manufacturers, hardware startups and Mid-Market (mid-market) industrial businesses. MRPeasy runs entirely in the browser, is available in multiple languages including German, and integrates with common accounting, e-commerce and CRM systems — a typical best-of-breed setup for modern, lean manufacturing organisations.

Functional sweet spot

MRPeasy covers all essential functions of a modern MRP and manufacturing-ERP platform. Production planning offers BOM management with multi-level structures, routings, capacity planning, a visual Gantt scheduler and real-time shop-floor reporting through the MRPeasy Shop Floor App. Material requirements planning is automated on the basis of orders, stock levels and forecasts; the system independently proposes purchase orders and production orders. Inventory management handles multi-warehouse stock, serial and batch numbers, barcodes, minimum stocks and FIFO logic. The sales module covers quotations, order processing, automatic cost calculation, delivery-date forecasts, shipping and returns. Procurement includes supplier management, purchase orders, supplier evaluations and goods receipt. The functional sweet spot is small-to-mid-size discrete manufacturers between approximately ten and one hundred users where the cloud-native model, the German UI and the integration architecture are valued.

DACH positioning

MRPeasy is a Tier-1 player in the DACH small-manufacturer segment, with strong presence in growth-stage hardware startups, small-series producers and contract manufacturers that have outgrown spreadsheets but cannot absorb the implementation cost of a horizontal Mid-Market ERP. The product is hosted in European data centres and supports DSGVO data residency. German UI translation is good, but the depth of DACH-specific tax and bookkeeping handling is less than for DACH-native products: MRPeasy is best paired with a separate German bookkeeping tool (DATEV Unternehmen Online, lexoffice, sevDesk) or with QuickBooks or Xero for accounting export, rather than treating it as a complete German ERP. The strength is the manufacturing scheduling and shop-floor capability, not the integrated finance handling.

Pricing and implementation

MRPeasy uses transparent per-user monthly subscription pricing with tier-based feature differentiation. The Homeer tier currently lists at approximately 49 US dollars per user per month, Professional at 69, Enterprise at 99 and Unlimited at 149, with annual billing discounts available. For an indicative 20-user small manufacturer deployment, all-in three-year TCO usually falls between approximately 30,000 and 80,000 euro, materially lower than horizontal Mid-Market ERPs of comparable manufacturing depth because the implementation effort is light by design. Implementation timelines are unusually short — typically two to eight weeks — because the product is configured rather than customised. Self-service onboarding with vendor support is the standard model.

Selection considerations

MRPeasy is a defensible choice for DACH small manufacturers between approximately ten and one hundred users with discrete-manufacturing workflows where the cloud-native model, the German UI and the integration to a separate accounting tool fit the operational profile. It is less compelling for organisations that need an integrated German bookkeeping core (where myfactory, weclapp or microtech fit better), for upper-Mid-Market manufacturers above one hundred users where DACH manufacturing ERPs such as proAlpha, abas ERP or Monitor G5 provide more depth, or for process manufacturers in pharma, food or chemicals where industry-specific ERPs fit better. The best-of-breed setup — MRPeasy for manufacturing, separate accounting tool, separate CRM — is a meaningful operational pattern that suits modern manufacturing startups but requires deliberate integration design.

Comparable vendors

Direct comparables in the cloud small-manufacturer MRP segment include Katana MRP (Estonian-origin, similar positioning), Fishbowl Manufacturing (US-origin), DEAR Manufacturing (now Cin7 Core), Unleashed (UK-origin) and weclapp on the DACH-native side. For organisations that want a fully integrated German bookkeeping core, myfactory, microtech and Sage 100 are typical alternatives at a higher implementation cost. For larger manufacturers proAlpha, abas ERP, Monitor G5 and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central with KUMAVISION compete. MRPeasy's differentiator is the depth of the manufacturing capability at a price point well below DACH-native alternatives, combined with the lean self-service implementation model.

Fazit

MRPeasy ist eine schlanke, fokussierte Cloud-MRP/ERP-Solution, die ihre Strengths vor allem bei kleinen und mittelständischen Herstellern ausspielt. Wer als wachsender Fertiger eine moderne, sofort einsatzbereite Plattform mit echter MRP-Logik, Werkstattsteuerung und einem starken Integrations-Ökosystem sucht, findet in MRPeasy eine ausgesprochen attraktive Alternative zu großen, schwergewichtigen ERP-Suiten. Für komplexe Konzernstrukturen mit internationalem Buchhaltungs- und Steueranspruch ist die Solution weniger geeignet – für den schlanken Mid-Market und Hardware-Homeups jedoch eine der spannendsten SaaS-Optionen am Markt.
