Last month we compared the leading Australian Accounting Software for medium-sized businesses.
This month we’re broadening our comparison to look at the top Australian Business Management Software Packages (ERP Software).
Again, the below is just a simple overview of some key features. To really decide the right software package for your business you’ll likely need to do some further research and request a demo for your team to trial. However, the below side by side comparison is a good place to start!

While the above table gives a snapshot of the availability of some key features, it doesn’t give an in-depth look at the full functionality level in each of these areas, and importantly, how that matches up to your business’ needs.
It must be said, however, that MYOB EXO is often seen as the strongest contender in the game. MYOB is a long established world leader in the ERP market and it is the largest selling mid-sized ERP in Australia & NZ – they’re not a new or start-up business so you can rely on their longevity and stability as a provider for your business.
MYOB also has a strong network of trusted, authorised, local partners and third party MYOB developers (like us here at Horizon Business Systems!) who can offer local support and training and help you design custom add-ons specific to your business needs.
If you’d like to find out more about how MYOB EXO can help your business, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us today!
