Migrate your Exact Globe data
On-premise ERP for SMBs in manufacturing, distribution, and professional services — now in mandatory end-of-life transition to Exact Globe+.
In its favor
Why people choose Exact Globe
The signal that keeps Exact Globe on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Industry-specific workflows for manufacturing, wholesale distribution, and project accounting reduce post-implementation configuration time for businesses in those verticals.
Real-time embedded BI tools give stakeholders direct access to data visualizations without requiring a separate reporting layer.
Flexible deployment options — cloud or on-premise — let IT teams align Exact Globe with existing infrastructure and security policies.
Large-database support is cited by mid-market users managing complex Chart of Accounts and high-volume transaction histories.
Multi-currency, multi-country, and multi-language capabilities serve international SMBs with operations across EU and APAC regions.
The mandatory migration to Exact Globe+ ( Exact Globe Next reaches end-of-support end of 2026) forces customers into a disruptive platform upgrade they did not choose.
The browser-based UI is described as outdated compared to modern SaaS ERP alternatives, driving dissatisfaction among users expecting contemporary UX.
No auto-save or automatic data-backup means page crashes or unexpected disconnects result in lost work with no recovery path.
Third-party add-on dependencies complicate both upgrades and migrations — customers must contact each vendor independently to confirm compatibility.
Support responsiveness is rated inconsistently, with some mid-market users reporting slow resolution times for critical issues.

What gets migrated
Exact Globe object support
Object-by-object support for Exact Globe migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Accounts (Debtors/Creditors)
Fully supportedAccounts is a core master-data table in Exact Globe. The schema is stable across versions and maps directly to Customers/Vendors in most destination ERPs. We extract via standard export or .NET DLL calls and preserve account type, classification, and balance fields.
Financial entries and entry lines
Mapping requiredExact Globe stores journal entries and their line items in separate but related tables. Entry-level metadata (date, journal, description) and line-level data (account, debit, credit, dimension) both migrate, but dimension structures vary significantly between Exact Globe and destination systems and require explicit mapping.
Invoices and invoice lines
Mapping requiredSales and purchase invoices are split into header and line tables. We extract both, preserving the relationship via invoice number keys. Tax codes, payment terms, and status flags require field-level mapping to align with the destination's invoice schema.
Items
Fully supportedItems (products, services, and variants) are a well-structured master-data object. We extract item code, description, unit of measure, cost price, sales price, and BOM associations. BOM links to production routing require supplemental extraction.
Orders and order lines
Mapping requiredSales orders and purchase orders each split into header and line rows. Order status (open, processed, invoiced) and back-order relationships must be preserved through ID key mapping. Partial shipment logic in the destination may need custom field augmentation.
Projects
Fully supportedProject accounting is embedded throughout Exact Globe's product line. We extract project headers, cost categories, billing methods, and budget data. Project-related time entries are a separate object and require a joined export.
Quotations
Mapping requiredQuotations are header-level documents with line items. Conversion status (expired, converted to order) is stored as a flag and must map to the destination's opportunity or sales-order conversion logic.
Human Resources
Mapping requiredHR data in Exact Globe covers employee records, compensation, and org structure. Effective-dated changes are stored transactionally, which requires careful sequencing during export to preserve historical state in the destination.
Contact persons
Fully supportedContact persons are linked to Accounts but have independent records. We extract name, role, email, phone, and address fields. Ownership and lifecycle-stage assignments map to custom properties in the destination CRM.
General ledger
Fully supportedThe Chart of Accounts and all posted journal entries are available for export. We handle account codes, descriptions, account groups, and posting history. Locked or reconciled periods require date-range scoping during extraction.
Bills of Materials
Mapping requiredBOMs define multi-level product structures with component items, quantities, and routing steps. Exporting BOMs requires recursive traversal of sub-assemblies, which we handle in staged extraction passes to avoid memory exhaustion on deep structures.
Fixed Assets
Mapping requiredFixed asset records include acquisition cost, depreciation method, book value, and asset class. Depreciation schedules must be recalculated in the destination if the fiscal year calendar differs, requiring date-projection logic post-load.
Custom fields on standard tables
Mapping requiredExact Globe allows custom fields (text, long, double, date, bit) on 14 standard tables including Financial entries, Accounts, Invoices, Items, Orders, Projects, HR, and Contact persons. We catalog every custom field, its type, and length constraint during discovery and map them to destination custom properties.
Attachments
Not in this platformExact Globe stores file attachments within the database or on local/network paths referenced by the application. Binary blob attachments require file-system access and are not reliably retrievable via the standard export APIs, making document migration a manual post-migration step.
