Migrate your Access SupplyChain data
UK mid-market ERP suite from The Access Group with sector-specific modules for supply chain, construction, and finance. Customers choose it for integration depth within the Access ecosystem; they leave when they outgrow it or need a platform with wider third-party connectivity.
In its favor
Why people choose Access SupplyChain
The signal that keeps Access SupplyChain on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Single-vendor mid-market suite — Access Group bundles supply chain, finance, MRP, production scheduling, and warehouse management into one cloud platform, reducing the integration overhead of stitching together best-of-breed point tools.
UK and ANZ regional fit — localised tax, statutory reporting, and partner support for businesses that want a vendor with offices and consultants in their region rather than a US-headquartered enterprise platform.
Mid-market pricing well below tier-1 ERPs — published estimates put the platform around £8–£20 per user per month for core modules, materially cheaper than NetSuite or SAP for similar functionality scope.
Visual production scheduling and shop-floor data capture — Gantt-style scheduling around shift patterns, skillsets, and equipment plus touchscreen job costing at workstations cover manufacturing operations without bolt-on MES tools.
Procurement automation with three-way matching — automatic PO raising, delivery tracking, and invoice-to-PO-receipt matching are built in, removing the need for a separate procure-to-pay product.
No published API documentation — reviewers and aggregators describe API access as available but undocumented publicly, forcing customers to rely on Access Group professional services for any custom integration beyond the prebuilt connectors.
Steep learning curve for advanced modules — Software Advice and ITQlick reviewers consistently flag advanced configuration as requiring significant training, especially for production scheduling and demand planning.
Implementation cost ceiling — SMB rollouts typically run $5,000–$20,000 and enterprise deployments exceed $50,000 according to third-party estimates, eroding the per-user price advantage for complex go-lives.
Smaller third-party consultant ecosystem — versus NetSuite, SAP, or Microsoft Dynamics, the pool of independent integrators is limited, leaving customers dependent on Access Group's own services pipeline.
Outgrowing mid-market scope — businesses scaling into multi-country, multi-entity operations with complex intercompany or statutory consolidation requirements typically migrate to NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics 365, or SAP S/4HANA.

What gets migrated
Access SupplyChain object support
Object-by-object support for Access SupplyChain migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Customers
Fully supportedCustomer records in Access SupplyChain include standard fields (name, contact details, payment terms) plus optional custom fields added via Access Studio. We migrate all standard fields 1:1 and map custom fields to destination equivalents or store them as name-value pairs in a staging layer.
Suppliers
Fully supportedSupplier records hold address, bank details, and category assignments. We preserve the full supplier record including any attachments. Supplier-to-customer relationship records require explicit mapping during scoping.
Purchase Orders
Mapping requiredOpen and historical purchase orders are migrated. Status values (Draft, Sent, Received) are mapped to the destination system's equivalents. Closed orders are migrated as read-only history unless the destination supports full order retention.
Items
Mapping requiredItem master records include SKU, description, unit of measure, cost price, and sales price. Where items have been merged or archived in Access SupplyChain, we flag duplicates and apply a deduplication rule agreed with the customer before import.
Warehouses / Locations
Fully supportedWarehouse records and bin locations are migrated. Stock-on-hand figures are extracted as a snapshot and applied at go-live to avoid mid-migration discrepancies.
Chart of Accounts
Mapping requiredThe chart of accounts structure is migrated where Access SupplyChain shares a compatible schema with the destination ERP. Complex multi-company or multi-segment account codes require explicit mapping and may need a pre-migration account restructuring workshop.
Open AP / AR
Mapping requiredOutstanding invoices and credit notes are migrated as open items and matched to counterparty records. We flag payments in transit and unresolved allocations to prevent double-posting at go-live.
Document Attachments
Mapping requiredDocuments attached to suppliers, items, and purchase orders are exported and linked to their destination records. Very large files or non-standard formats may require a file size check during scoping.
Custom Fields
Mapping requiredCustom fields created in Access Studio are enumerated during discovery and mapped individually. Fields with unsupported data types (e.g., embedded objects) are flagged and handled per a customer-approved fallback strategy.
Users and Roles
Mapping requiredUser accounts are migrated with their role assignments. Role naming conventions differ between Access SupplyChain versions and the destination system, so role mapping is performed manually during scoping.
