Migrate your Access ERP data
Cloud-based mid-market ERP for manufacturers and distributors, built modularly around financials, inventory, purchasing, and CRM. The Access Group's ERP arm targets companies that have outgrown entry-level accounting tools but do not need the complexity of a Tier 1 system.
In its favor
Why people choose Access ERP
The signal that keeps Access ERP on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Integrated financials, inventory, purchasing, and CRM in one cloud platform removes the need for separate integrations that create data silos across departments.
The modular architecture lets mid-market manufacturers and distributors add capability incrementally without replacing the entire system as the business scales.
Cloud delivery streamlines initial deployment and enables mobile access while keeping the software current with automated quarterly upgrades from The Access Group.
Mid-market pricing positions Access ERP below Tier 1 systems like SAP and Oracle, making it accessible to organizations with dedicated IT teams but constrained ERP budgets.
Positive reviewer feedback consistently cites staff helpfulness, professional support, and the ability to consolidate multiple business functions under one vendor umbrella.
Transition from a legacy ERP involves significant user training and process change management — some teams find the steep learning curve disruptive to daily operations.
A subset of users experienced longer-than-expected support response times, especially for complex issues requiring escalation beyond first-line support.
Organizations with highly unique workflows report that the platform requires custom code modifications, adding implementation cost beyond the initial subscription.
Some customers desire more visibility into The Access Group's ERP product roadmap and enhancement priorities before committing to a long-term platform relationship.
Mid-market ERP customers sometimes outgrow Access ERP and migrate to NetSuite or SAP S/4HANA when they require the scale or global features of a Tier 1 system.

Pricing tiers
Access ERP pricing overview
Access ERP does not publish pricing on its website. The vendor sells through a direct sales team that builds a custom quote based on selected modules, user count, and implementation services. This is consistent with The Access Group's broader product strategy across its portfolio of business software products.

What gets migrated
Access ERP object support
Object-by-object support for Access ERP migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Chart of Accounts
Fully supportedAccess ERP maintains a standard chart of accounts with nominal ledger codes used across all modules. We export the full account structure including cost centre and department coding, preserving the account type and posting restrictions set in the source system.
Customers and Vendors
Fully supportedCustomer and vendor masters include address books, payment terms, credit limits, and tax codes. We migrate contact records, account balances, and outstanding invoice references. Multi-currency accounts are handled by preserving the functional currency setting and exchange rate history.
Items and Stock Records
Mapping requiredItems carry warehouse-specific quantities, reorder levels, and BOM structures that vary across modules. We extract the item master, stock quantities per location, and bill of materials, then map them to the destination's equivalent inventory schema, flagging any non-standard unit-of-measure conversions.
Purchase Orders
Fully supportedOpen and history purchase orders are migrated with line items, quantities ordered and received, pricing, and supplier references. We preserve the order status and match closed orders to their received invoices in the AP ledger.
Sales Invoices and AR
Fully supportedOpen AR invoices are migrated with customer references, invoice dates, due dates, and outstanding amounts. We carry the full transaction history needed for credit management and debt collection in the target system.
AP Invoices and Payments
Fully supportedOpen AP is migrated with vendor references, invoice dates, due dates, and amounts. Historical paid invoices are migrated as closed records with their original payment references and bank statement lines preserved.
Document Attachments
Mapping requiredAccess ERP stores document attachments at the transaction and master-record level. We export attachments in their native format and reattach them to the corresponding records in the target system. Very large attachment volumes may require a staged migration approach.
Custom Fields and User-Defined Tables
Mapping requiredThe platform is highly configurable and many customers add custom fields to standard objects or create user-defined tables for industry-specific data. These are not always exposed in standard exports. We identify all custom fields during the discovery phase and build a bespoke extraction query for each customer's live database.
Users and Role Assignments
Mapping requiredUser accounts carry role-based permissions, department assignments, and sometimes workflow approval limits. We export user records and map them to the destination's security model, noting any inactive accounts and reconciliation roles that will not translate directly.
Bank and Cash Accounts
Fully supportedBank account masters and cash book balances are migrated including any outstanding unreconciled transactions. We preserve the bank account currency and reconciliation cut-off date to allow the target team to pick up bank reconciliation without re-entering opening balances.
