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
Where is rs2 ERP headquartered?
The vendor is Austrian-headquartered with a focus on the Austrian and DACH Mittelstand market. The product's heritage gives it deeper Austrian-specific compliance (UGB, FinanzOnline, BMD pattern) than German-origin Mittelstand ERPs.
Does rs2 ERP support Austrian and German accounting frameworks?
Yes. The product covers both Austrian UGB and German HGB, which is the central requirement for Austria-Germany cross-border Mittelstand organisations. ZUGFeRD and XRechnung e-invoicing are supported alongside the Austrian e-invoicing standards.
Is rs2 ERP cloud-native?
No. The product is a Windows-client architecture with SQL Server back-end, typical for Mittelstand ERPs of this generation. Customers requiring fully multi-tenant cloud SaaS typically evaluate weclapp, myfactory or Business Central Cloud instead.
How does rs2 ERP compare with BMD Business Solutions?
BMD is the larger Austrian Mittelstand ERP with the deepest tax-advisor ecosystem in Austria. rs2 is a smaller independent vendor with more direct product-team access for customers. The decision between them is usually a culture-and-partner question rather than a pure functional comparison. Buyers should evaluate both in a structured side-by-side process and validate references in the same industry segment before signature.
