In its favor
Why people choose Decision Builder
The signal that keeps Decision Builder on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
25 years of operational history gives Decision Builder deep domain knowledge in manufacturing and distribution workflows that newer platforms have not accumulated.
The extensive library of pre-built applications allows companies to deploy industry-specific functionality without building from scratch.
Flexible design architecture lets organizations customize the platform to match unique process requirements rather than forcing process changes.
The platform combines multiple functional areas including inventory, financials, and vendor management into a single integrated environment.
Companies already invested in the ecosystem face high switching costs that reinforce continued use of Decision Builder for their core operations.
Limited documentation makes it difficult for new team members to learn the platform and for existing users to resolve advanced configuration problems.
Poor upgrade path for .NET compatibility creates frustration during version transitions and limits access to newer framework features.
Lack of comprehensive documentation means teams spend excessive time experimenting with features rather than applying them directly to business needs.
The platform's age means some integrations with modern SaaS tools require custom development that newer ERP platforms provide out of the box.

What gets migrated
Decision Builder object support
Object-by-object support for Decision Builder migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Customers
Mapping requiredCustomer records in Decision Builder map to Accounts or Contacts in destination systems. We preserve all contact details, customer-specific pricing tiers, and associated account hierarchies during migration.
Vendors
Mapping requiredVendor records including payment terms, tax IDs, and address information require field-level mapping since naming conventions and required fields vary significantly across ERP systems.
Items
Mapping requiredItem records encompass inventory products, services, and non-inventory items. We map item types, pricing, and bill of materials structures, flagging multi-level BOMs that need special handling.
Open AP/AR
Fully supportedOpen invoices, credit memos, and payment records export cleanly. We preserve document numbers, dates, amounts, and aging information. Post-export reconciliation in the destination system closes the loop.
Historical Transactions
Mapping requiredInvoice history, payment records, and adjustment logs migrate with full audit trails. Journal entries require mapping to destination chart of accounts which may use different account numbering schemes.
Chart of Accounts
Mapping requiredAccount structures including segment definitions, account types, and rollup hierarchies require pre-migration mapping sessions to align source and destination account frameworks.
Data Structures
Mapping requiredCustom Data Structures store business-specific data. Complex structures should migrate at the Project level via .dec.obj export rather than individual data export to preserve relationships.
Projects
Fully supportedProjects bundle related Data Structures, workflows, and configurations. Project-level export (.dec.obj) preserves the full context that individual object export cannot capture.
Documents
Mapping requiredAttached documents and files migrate alongside their parent records. We verify file integrity after transfer and flag any documents that reference objects not included in the migration scope.
Users
Mapping requiredUser accounts and role assignments require mapping to destination permission models. Active vs. inactive status and login credentials do not transfer for security reasons.
