Migrate your Pronto Xi data
Australian mid-market ERP with 40+ years of operational depth, built on IBM Informix. Best suited for manufacturers and distributors who need integrated financials, inventory, and supply chain without the complexity of tier-1 ERP platforms.
In its favor
Why people choose Pronto Xi
The signal that keeps Pronto Xi on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Pronto Xi's broad functional coverage — financials, inventory, manufacturing, CRM, and supply chain in one integrated system — means mid-market companies avoid stitching together multiple point solutions.
The platform's modular implementation approach lets companies deploy phases rather than a full ERP upfront, reducing initial capital outlay and allowing staged adoption across departments.
Australian-headquartered support teams with deep local industry knowledge provide responsive assistance for manufacturers and distributors in regulated sectors.
Built-in analytics and real-time reporting across operations give visibility into inventory levels, production costs, and supply chain performance without additional BI tooling.
Pronto Xi supports cloud, on-premise, and hybrid deployment options, accommodating companies with existing infrastructure or strict data residency requirements.
Long-running implementations accumulate bespoke custom modules and reports that become difficult to maintain or upgrade, creating technical debt that makes migration feel necessary but daunting.
Customer support quality is inconsistent — some reviews cite slow response times or resolution gaps, particularly for complex technical issues requiring database-level investigation.
Network dependency for remote access creates session fragility — dropped connections leave orphaned processes and database locks requiring manual admin intervention to clear.
Pricing opacity and module-level costs mean organisations face unpredictable bills as they expand usage across departments and sites.
Implementation timelines stretch from weeks to months, and the system enforces Pronto's own process logic rather than bending to existing business workflows, causing friction during rollout.

What gets migrated
Pronto Xi object support
Object-by-object support for Pronto Xi migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Chart of Accounts
Fully supportedGL account structures in Pronto Xi use a hierarchical code system stored in IBM Informix. We extract account codes, descriptions, and parent-child relationships via direct DB queries, preserving the full chart in the destination ERP.
Customers and Suppliers
Fully supportedAccounts are stored as structured records with address books, contact details, payment terms, and tax codes. We map these to the destination's customer/supplier objects, handling multi-address scenarios and currency assignments.
Inventory Items and Stock Locations
Fully supportedItems include BOMs, cost layers, reorder points, and multi-warehouse location assignments. We extract item masters along with current stock quantities per location, maintaining the inventory valuation method applied in Pronto Xi.
Open AR and AP Records
Mapping requiredOutstanding invoices and credit memos require careful sequencing — we extract open items with aging buckets and reference numbers, then apply payments or credit allocations at the destination to preserve payment history continuity.
Work Orders and Manufacturing Orders
Mapping requiredWork orders carry routing steps, labor allocations, and component consumption records tied to specific BOM versions. We map these to the destination's manufacturing module, flagging any steps referencing obsolete BOM revisions.
Sales and Purchase Orders
Mapping requiredOpen orders include line items with pricing, discounting, and delivery scheduling. We extract order headers and lines, then set destination order statuses based on fulfillment progress to avoid inadvertently closing records mid-process.
Payroll Records
Mapping requiredPayroll data in Pronto Xi is sensitive and often edition-gated. We extract employee compensation history, leave balances, and pay categories, mapping them to HR objects while respecting data residency requirements for cloud instances.
Documents and Attachments
Mapping requiredLinked documents stored in Pronto Xi's document management system require extraction via file references or direct DB blob access. We handle file naming conventions and preserve document associations to parent records.
Custom Modules and UDFs
Mapping requiredPronto Xi environments frequently contain bespoke modules built on the SDK or RAD framework. We identify these during scoping, map their data structures, and flag any that have no equivalent in the destination ERP for manual remediation.
Bills of Materials
Mapping requiredBOMs store component items, quantities per assembly, and revision versions tied to manufacturing processes. We extract BOM headers and component lines, mapping to the destination's BOM structure and noting inactive revisions for deactivation.
Service and Maintenance Records
Mapping requiredService module records include asset links, job scheduling, technician assignments, and contract details. We map these to the destination's field service or asset management objects, preserving service history against assets.
