Which to pick
- Pick Aureuserp when
- You run a small business with Laravel developers on hand and want an MIT-licensed ERP you can extend in PHP.
- Pick SAP S/4HANA when
- You are a large or global enterprise with complex multi-entity operations and the budget for a multi-year implementation with an SAP partner.
Side by side
An open-source ERP built with Laravel and Filament, with plugins for accounting, inventory, sales, purchasing, HR, recruitment and projects.
SAP's flagship ERP covering finance, procurement, manufacturing, supply chain, sales and asset management on the HANA in-memory database, sold as cloud public, cloud private or on-premise editions.
Under two years old, so module depth, accounting correctness and upgrade paths are still unproven.
Implementations are long and expensive, and the move from older SAP ECC is a project in its own right.
