Migrate your EBMS data
On-premise-first ERP for SMBs in manufacturing and distribution, bundling CRM, inventory, accounting, and eCommerce into a single application. Migration means moving off a legacy Windows client with limited API access.
In its favor
Why people choose EBMS
The signal that keeps EBMS on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Comprehensive ERP bundle covering CRM, inventory, accounting, and eCommerce in a single application reduces the need for multiple disconnected systems.
Built-in eCommerce integration synchronizes product catalogs, inventory, customer accounts, and order entry without third-party middleware.
Customization Designer allows non-developer users to add custom fields and relocate standard fields without changing the core application.
Support and upgrade subscription includes updated tax tables, forms, and regulatory changes — important for companies in regulated industries.
All-in-one pricing simplifies vendor management compared to stitching together separate CRM, ERP, and eCommerce platforms.
EBMS is a Windows desktop application requiring on-premise or terminal server infrastructure, which conflicts with cloud-first IT strategies.
Limited public API and integration capabilities make real-time sync with modern SaaS tools difficult to maintain.
The user interface and workflow design reflect older ERP paradigms, creating friction for teams accustomed to modern UX conventions.
Support subscription costs add ongoing expense, and discontinuing it cuts access to tax table updates and software patches — a hard cliff for compliance-dependent businesses.
eCommerce tiers cap annual online sales volumes, forcing upgrades as the business grows rather than scaling smoothly.

Pricing tiers
EBMS pricing overview
EBMS eCommerce is priced in three tiers ranging from $450/month (Essential) to $1,250/month (Premium), with annual online sales volume caps at each level. Core EBMS ERP licensing is not publicly priced and requires direct sales contact. The mandatory support and upgrade subscription adds ongoing cost and creates a hard compliance cliff if discontinued.

What gets migrated
EBMS object support
Object-by-object support for EBMS migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Customers
Fully supportedEBMS stores customer records as Documents within a Customers table. Standard fields include name, address, terms, and contact details. We export via the Customer Address for Mail Merge report or custom reports and map fields 1:1 into the destination CRM or ERP Contacts/Accounts object.
Products / Inventory Items
Fully supportedProducts are defined in the inventory module with pricing, stock levels, units of measure, and serial numbers. We export via inventory reports and map to the destination system's Items or Products catalog. Complex settings like components and attributes require field-level mapping.
Sales Orders
Fully supportedSales orders sync from eCommerce and are created manually in EBMS. We export order headers and line items via order reports, preserving pricing calculations and payment terms as they mirror the EBMS sales order logic.
Purchase Orders
Mapping requiredPurchase orders are tracked in the purchasing module. We export via PO reports, but custom fields attached to PO headers or lines require explicit mapping to destination fields.
Invoices / AR
Mapping requiredInvoices are linked to customers and sales orders. EBMS tracks open and historical invoices. We export via AR aging and invoice reports. Payment history requires date-range scoping to avoid mid-period splits.
Vendors
Mapping requiredVendor records include contact info and purchasing terms. We export via vendor reports and map to the destination ERP Vendors object. Custom fields on vendor records need explicit mapping.
Custom Fields
Mapping requiredUsers add custom fields via the Customization Designer to any entity (Customer, Product, Order, etc.). These fields are defined in the EBMS database but may require exclusive database access to enumerate fully. We discover them during data profiling and map them to equivalent custom properties in the destination.
Reports
Not in this platformEBMS Reports are a configuration artifact, not a data object. We export the data that reports reference, but the report definitions themselves do not migrate. Report layouts must be rebuilt in the destination system.
eCommerce Catalog
Mapping requiredProducts, availability, pricing, and photos sync from EBMS inventory to the customer-facing website. We export product data via inventory reports and map to the destination eCommerce platform's catalog structure.
Customer Portal Accounts
Mapping requiredB2B customers have portal accounts with price levels and payment terms. We export portal account data and map to destination customer or account records with the appropriate pricing tier assignments.
