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Upgrade processes are slow with poor support response times, making customers feel stuck on outdated versions while waiting for fixes.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

Deskera ERP pricing overview
Deskera charges per-user per-month on an annual subscription with a 5-user minimum. Growth starts at $199/user/month and Mid-Market at $249/user/month, but the Enterprise tier and actual implementation fees require a sales conversation. The published per-user rate does not include the mandatory one-time setup and onboarding costs.

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 supportedDeskera 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 supportedThe /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 supportedVendor 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 requiredHistorical 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 supportedItems 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 requiredSales 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 requiredOpen 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 requiredDeskera 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 requiredDeskera 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 requiredContacts 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 requiredDeskera 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.
