rs2 ERP

rs2 ERP is an Austrian Mid-Market (mid-market) ERP product targeting small and medium-sized organisations across trade, manufacturing and services, with deep Austrian and DACH (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) localisation. The vendor positions rs2 as a configurable ERP backbone for organisations between roughly 10 and 250 users, with sufficient functional breadth to cover the standard ERP scope and enough customisation depth to handle vertical-specific workflow without requiring an industry-specific specialist product. The Austrian heritage means the product carries Austrian-specific tax, accounting and reporting workflow (UGB, BMD pattern, FinanzOnline integration) more deeply than German-origin Mid-Market ERPs, which is the central differentiator for Austrian buyers.

Functional scope

rs2 ERP covers financials with Austrian UGB and German HGB accounting frameworks, AR and AP, sales, purchasing, multi-warehouse inventory, basic CRM, project accounting, light manufacturing with BOMs and production orders, and warehouse management. The product carries deep Austrian-specific functionality: FinanzOnline integration for Austrian tax filing, BMD-pattern handover for tax-advisor workflow (the Austrian equivalent of the German DATEV pattern), Austrian payroll handover and ZUGFeRD plus the Austrian e-invoicing standards. ZUGFeRD and XRechnung are also supported for cross-border DACH e-invoicing workflow.

Target users and industries

Typical customers are Austrian or DACH-cross-border Mid-Market organisations with 10 to 250 users in trade and wholesale, light manufacturing, services and project businesses. The product is most attractive when the buyer is Austrian-headquartered or operates substantially across the Austria-Germany border and needs deep dual-country compliance in a single ERP. Industries covered include trade and distribution, mechanical engineering, light manufacturing, services and consulting, and selected vertical sub-segments through industry templates.

Technology and deployment

rs2 ERP is offered as on-premises installation or partner-hosted deployment, with a Windows client and SQL Server back-end. Web-based access for selected workflow exists but the primary user experience is the Windows client, which is the typical Mid-Market pattern of this generation. Documented APIs support integration with e-commerce platforms, warehouse and shipping systems, and other DACH ecosystem components.

Strengths and limitations

Strengths: deep Austrian and DACH localisation, configurable across multiple industries without forcing the buyer into a vertical-specialist product, independent vendor with direct product-team access for customers. Limitations: not cloud-native SaaS (Windows-client architecture), smaller installed base and partner ecosystem than Microsoft Dynamics or SAP partner channels, less brand recognition outside Austria, and the usual trade-off between configurability and the structured upgrade path of strictly standard products.

Selection considerations

rs2 ERP is a credible shortlist candidate for Austrian or Austria-Germany cross-border Mid-Market organisations between 10 and 250 users that want deep Austrian compliance in an independent-vendor product. Alternatives to evaluate include BMD Business Solutions (the dominant Austrian Mid-Market ERP), Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central with Austrian localisation, Sage 100 in its DACH variants and SelectLine. For complex discrete manufacturers, proAlpha or abas ERP are more natural; for cloud-native SaaS, weclapp or myfactory; for international groups, Business Central or NetSuite. Typical implementation projects for Austrian Mid-Market customers run between 3 and 9 months from kick-off to go-live depending on module scope, legacy-data migration depth and the amount of vertical customisation required. Indicative 5-year total cost of ownership for a 50-user Austrian Mid-Market deployment lands between 150,000 and 500,000 euro, broadly comparable to Sage 100, SelectLine and the other independent DACH Mid-Market ERPs at the same size.

Frequently asked questions

Which interfaces does rs2 ERP support?

Most ERP systems offer REST APIs, EDI connectors and common accounting interfaces such as DATEV. E-commerce connections such as Shopware, Shopify or Amazon can often be realised via connectors. Standardised interface protocols (REST API, OData, EDIFACT, ZUGFeRD) are mandatory today and should be supported out of the box.

Does rs2 ERP offer a free trial?

Cloud vendors frequently offer 14- to 30-day free trial accounts or demo versions. Classic mid-market ERP systems are usually provided as test installations through implementation partners – see independent selection support. The exact details depend on the industry, company size class and customising depth of the specific ERP setup.

What industry specialisations does rs2 ERP have?

The vendor profile shows the industry focus and reference customers. Specialisations are often strengths in PPS (mechanical engineering), batch/serial number management (pharma/food) and multi-channel (retail/e-commerce) – see the industry overview. Industry specialists have preconfigured master data structures and compliance modules that drastically reduce customising effort.

Which compliance standards does rs2 ERP meet?

DACH ERP systems must support GoBD (audit-proof bookkeeping), GDPR and e-invoicing. Industry-specific standards such as GxP (pharma), HACCP (food) and GAEB (construction) come on top. The exact details depend on the industry, company size class and customising depth of the specific ERP setup.

What is the user experience of rs2 ERP like?

UX depends heavily on the generation of the system. Cloud-native ERP systems (NetSuite, weclapp) have a modern web UX. Classic mid-market ERP systems have been catching up strongly since around 2020 – demo tests are essential.
