Why people choose Deskera ERP

The signal that keeps Deskera ERP on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.

All-in-one subscription covering accounting, inventory, CRM, HR, and manufacturing eliminates the need to patch together separate tools, reducing vendor overhead for small teams.

Multi-currency support with customizable exchange rates and decimal precision outperforms competitors like QuickBooks Online for businesses operating across borders.

Cloud-based platform with a fast-loading UI and mobile app lets distributed teams access financial and inventory data without on-premise infrastructure.

Dedicated account manager and fast community support (including active Facebook group responses) give SMBs a level of hand-holding not common at this price tier.

Per-user monthly pricing at $199 for Growth is accessible for 5–20 employee businesses, with clear tier differentiation between Growth, Mid-Market, and Enterprise.

The product is still actively improving, which means users encounter bugs and defects that support does not always resolve quickly, leading to frustration during critical accounting periods.

Billing and invoicing modules are less comprehensive than established players like Xero and QuickBooks Online, causing finance teams to supplement with additional tools.

Upgrade processes are slow with poor support response times, making customers feel stuck on outdated versions while waiting for fixes.

Reporting features are unavailable or limited in the mobile app, forcing managers to use desktop for basic analysis.

The required one-time implementation and setup fees are not publicly disclosed, creating sticker shock after initial pricing conversations.

Platform scorecard

Strengths, weaknesses, and where Deskera ERP fits

Grades across six dimensions, plus a SWOT-style view of where the platform shines and where it falls short.

SWOT — strengths, weaknesses, and use-case fit

Strengths

Cloud-native architecture with fast load times and a mobile app for iOS and AndroidIntegrated CRM alongside accounting and inventory reduces data silos for SMBsMulti-currency support with user-defined decimal precision for exchange ratesActive community support and dedicated account managers included in subscriptionAPI-driven integration layer connects to over 2000 external applications

Weaknesses

No free trial available, making it difficult to validate fit before committing financiallyPublic API documentation is minimal; rate limits and bulk endpoints are not documentedBilling and invoicing features lag behind specialized accounting tools like XeroFrequent product updates introduce bugs that support does not always resolve promptlyRequired implementation and setup fees are not published, complicating budget planning

Where it works

Small businesses with 5–20 employees (Growth tier) or 20–50 employees (Mid-Market tier) that need integrated accounting, inventory, CRM, and HR under one subscription without managing multiple vendors.Companies operating across multiple countries requiring multi-currency support with customizable exchange rates and decimal precision that goes beyond what QuickBooks Online offers.Distributed teams needing cloud-based access to financial and inventory data without on-premise infrastructure, with the free mobile app for iOS and Android providing basic field access.SMBs in Southeast Asia, India, or emerging markets where the dedicated account manager and active community support (including Facebook group) provide a level of hand-holding not common at this price tier.Growing businesses that want to start with basic modules and expand gradually—users report adding HR and payroll over time as the team scales, with integration between modules remaining mostly smooth.

Where it struggles

Finance teams with complex billing requirements needing advanced invoicing features like detailed payment plans, retainers, or project-based billing that Xero and QuickBooks Online handle more comprehensively.Multi-entity organizations needing native GL consolidation across subsidiaries or franchises—Deskera lacks the multi-book accounting capabilities available in higher-tier ERPs.Businesses requiring detailed reporting from mobile devices—reporting and smart reports are unavailable in the mobile app, forcing managers to use desktop for any analysis.Companies with high-volume API integration needs or custom workflows—the API documentation is minimal, rate limits are not publicly documented, and bulk export endpoints lack transparency.Fast-scaling businesses where bugs introduced by frequent product updates create critical-period disruptions—support response times for resolving defects lag behind established competitors.

What gets migrated

Deskera ERP object support

Object-by-object support for Deskera ERP migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.

Chart of Accounts

Fully supported

Deskera stores the COA with standard account types and supports export to PDF, XLSX, and CSV. We map account codes and names directly into the destination COA, preserving account types and tax codes where present.

Customers / Accounts

Fully supported

The /v1/account endpoint handles both create and fetch operations. We pull all customer records including billing/shipping addresses and contact details, then map them to the destination's equivalent company or contact object.

Vendors

Fully supported

Vendor data is available via the same account API with a type filter. We separate vendor from customer records during migration scoping to avoid cross-contamination of party records.

Journal Entries

Mapping required

Historical journal entries can be exported individually. Deskera stores journal lines with account references, debit/credit amounts, and optional dimensions (Class, Location, Department). We map these line-by-line but flag dimensions that may not exist in the destination system.

Inventory Items

Fully supported

Items include SKU, name, unit of measure, cost, and on-hand quantities. Deskera supports batch/lot and serial tracking. We migrate item records and option to include lot/serial data depending on the destination's capabilities.

Sales Orders

Mapping required

Sales orders link to customers, items, and pricing rules. We migrate open orders and preserve line-item pricing but note that Deskera's order-to-invoice workflow may differ from the destination's pipeline stages.

Purchase Orders

Mapping required

Open purchase orders are migrated with vendor linkage and expected receipt dates. Closed historical POs may require selective migration based on the customer's accounting cut-off requirements.

Bills of Materials

Mapping required

Deskera MRP supports multi-level BOMs for manufacturing. We extract BOM structure, component items, and quantities per assembly, but mapping to a destination with a different MRP engine requires manual review of routing and work center definitions.

Employees

Mapping required

Deskera People (HRMS) stores employee records with compensation, leave balances, and organizational structure. We migrate core employee fields; effective-dated payroll history requires additional mapping to the destination's payroll schema.

CRM Contacts

Mapping required

Contacts exist within the integrated CRM module and link to accounts. Custom contact properties and lifecycle stages are preserved as custom fields in the destination where direct mapping is not available.

Custom Fields

Mapping required

Deskera supports custom field creation on most objects. We capture custom field definitions and their values per record, storing them as destination-native custom properties or in a supplementary lookup table.
