weclapp

weclapp is a Marburg-based cloud-native ERP product founded in 2008 and positioned for the DACH SMB and lighter Mid-Market (mid-market) segments. The vendor has grown into one of the better-known modern German cloud ERPs alongside myfactory and Xentral, with a particularly strong installed base in e-commerce-driven trade businesses and growing presence in services and light manufacturing. weclapp was acquired by 3U Holding in 2014 and operates as a publicly listed subsidiary. The product's commercial proposition is a modern browser-based user experience, transparent monthly subscription pricing and native DACH localisation, packaged for buyers who would otherwise consider Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central but want a simpler and cheaper alternative for SMB scope.

Cloud architecture and functional scope

weclapp is multi-tenant SaaS delivered from German data centres, with monthly release cycles and a thin-client browser interface. Functional scope covers financials, CRM, sales, purchasing, inventory, project accounting, services management, light manufacturing and e-commerce integration. The e-commerce orientation is one of the product's strongest commercial angles: native connectors to Shopware, Shopify, Magento, Amazon and eBay handle order intake, stock synchronisation and fulfilment confirmation. Manufacturing coverage is light — assembly, basic BOMs, basic production orders — and not suitable for discrete-manufacturing operators with variant configuration or advanced scheduling requirements.

Target segment and sweet spot

weclapp's genuine sweet spot is DACH SMB and lighter Mid-Market businesses between 5 and 100 users with an e-commerce or B2B trade orientation. Customers commonly combine shop integration, light fulfilment, classical accounting and CRM in a single product without needing to stitch together multiple specialist tools. The product is less compelling for discrete manufacturers (proAlpha, abas ERP, Business Central with KUMAVISION fit better), for finance-heavy operations that prioritise the deepest possible German finance workflow (Sage 100, myfactory often go deeper), for upper-Mid-Market buyers above 200 users where Business Central's scale and partner ecosystem matter more, or for organisations needing international multi-entity consolidation across many countries (NetSuite is the natural alternative).

DACH localisation and DATEV

weclapp's DACH localisation is mature and native. GoBD compliance (the German principles for proper digital bookkeeping) is built in and certified. DATEV (the German payroll and accounting standard) integration is native and covers both the legacy DATEV format and the API-based exchange. ZUGFeRD and XRechnung e-invoicing are covered. The Austrian and Swiss localisations are mature. The product is hosted in EU data centres for EU data residency. For DACH SMB and lighter Mid-Market buyers, the native DATEV experience is one of weclapp's strongest competitive differentiators against international cloud ERPs (NetSuite, Business Central Cloud) where DATEV is partner-delivered rather than vendor-native.

Pricing model and TCO

weclapp uses transparent per-user-per-month subscription pricing with several tiered editions: roughly 40 euro per user per month for the basic CRM tier, 50 to 70 euro per user per month for the ERP-Cloud tier, and 70 to 100 euro per user per month for the upper Business or Premium tier that includes services management, project accounting and advanced features. The transparent published pricing is unusual in the ERP market and is a deliberate go-to-market differentiator. For a 50-user e-commerce-oriented SMB deployment, all-in TCO over five years typically lands between 150,000 and 400,000 euro, with implementation services representing 0.5 to 1 times the annual subscription. Implementation is materially faster than with on-premises ERPs because of the SaaS architecture and the product's SMB-oriented configuration model.

Selection considerations

weclapp is the right choice for DACH SMB and lighter Mid-Market businesses of 5 to 100 users with an e-commerce or trade orientation, who value transparent SaaS pricing, native DATEV and a modern user experience. It is less compelling for discrete manufacturers, for finance-heavy operations that need the deepest German finance workflow, for upper-Mid-Market buyers above 200 users, and for organisations whose primary need is international multi-entity consolidation. The choice between weclapp, myfactory and Xentral is typically determined by the relative weight of finance depth (myfactory leads), e-commerce volume and channel breadth (Xentral leads) and modern UX with balanced general scope (weclapp leads).

Häufig gestellte Fragen

How long does it take to implement weclapp?

An ERP implementation takes 3 to 18 months depending on complexity. Cloud solutions are often productive within 4–12 weeks, while traditional mid-market ERPs need 6–12 months for requirements analysis, customising, data migration and training. More under ERP implementation.

How secure is weclapp in terms of data protection?

For cloud ERPs, the server location (ideally EU/Germany), a data processing agreement (DPA) and BSI C5 or ISO 27001 certifications are the key criteria. GDPR compliance should be explicitly documented by the vendor. The exact arrangement depends on the industry, company size and customising depth of the specific ERP setup.

How is weclapp being further developed?

Cloud ERPs typically receive monthly to quarterly releases automatically. On-premise ERPs have annual major releases with active patch maintenance. Release notes and the roadmap are available from the vendor.

What happens to my data if I cancel weclapp?

With cloud ERPs, a good provider guarantees data export in an open format (CSV, JSON, SQL dump). The contract should explicitly regulate the data return obligation, deletion period and format. The exact arrangement depends on the industry, company size and customising depth of the specific ERP setup.

What support SLAs does weclapp offer?

Standard support usually covers weekdays from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. with a response time of around 4 hours. Premium/24x7 SLAs come at an extra charge. With cloud providers, availability SLAs (e.g. 99.9%) are important — check the contract!
