Migrate your Syscom ERP data
UK-built modular ERP for manufacturers and distributors with cloud and on-premise deployment options, backed by 40+ years of Syscom PLC expertise.
In its favor
Why people choose Syscom ERP
The signal that keeps Syscom ERP on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
UK-focused mid-market vendor with 40+ years of manufacturing/distribution domain experience — Syscom PLC also delivers Microsoft Dynamics support and managed IT, signalling depth of UK ERP services.
Modular adoption — customers turn on only the modules they need (manufacturing, distribution, finance, BI) and add more as the business evolves, avoiding upfront over-licensing.
Cloud-hosted SaaS option requires minimum maintenance and IT resources, which suits UK SMEs that lack a large internal IT team.
Unified visibility across production, inventory and sales in one platform — appeals to manufacturers and distributors that previously stitched together separate accounting and shop-floor systems.
Industry-specific bundles (automotive manufacturing, building products, food, distribution) come with sector-aligned defaults that reduce go-live customisation.
Concentrated UK presence — international or multi-country expansion is harder to support than with global vendors like SAP Business One, NetSuite or Dynamics 365 Business Central.
Public pricing is not surfaced — buyers must engage Syscom sales to learn per-user and per-module costs, complicating budget comparisons.
Public API documentation and developer portal are not surfaced — integrations with non-Syscom systems typically rely on partner-led implementation.
Modest press footprint and limited independent review volume (Crozdesk score 55/100) make peer benchmarking harder than for category leaders.
Customers outgrowing mid-market complexity may face heavy implementation work to scale into multi-entity consolidation or multi-currency operations that bigger ERPs handle natively.

Pricing tiers
Syscom ERP pricing overview
Syscom ERP uses a modular pricing model with no predefined tiers. Customers select and pay for the modules they require (Financials, Distribution, Manufacturing, CRM, etc.), making the total cost opaque until a full requirements gathering session. There is no public pricing page. Annual licensing, support contracts, and implementation services are quoted on a per-customer basis through Syscom PLC's sales team.

What gets migrated
Syscom ERP object support
Object-by-object support for Syscom ERP migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Items / Products
Fully supportedItem master is a core object in Syscom ERP. We extract the full item record including SKU, description, unit of measure, cost, and pricing tiers. Standard fields migrate cleanly. Custom properties on items require pre-migration field mapping against the destination schema.
Bill of Materials (BOMs)
Mapping requiredBOMs store multi-level product structures with component items and quantities. We extract the full BOM hierarchy and map it to the destination's structure. BOM versions and alternative BOMs require explicit handling as naming conventions vary.
Customers / Accounts
Fully supportedCustomer records include billing address, shipping address, contact details, and credit limits. We map customer data to the destination account object and preserve customer-specific pricing where it exists as a sub-record.
Vendors / Suppliers
Fully supportedVendor records include contact information, payment terms, and bank details. We migrate vendor data 1:1 for standard fields. Vendor-specific notes or custom fields require pre-migration review.
Sales Orders
Mapping requiredSales order headers and lines are migratable. Open orders are extracted with line-item detail, pricing, and order status. Historical closed orders may require a separate archival pass depending on destination schema requirements.
Purchase Orders
Mapping requiredPO headers and lines migrate with vendor reference, expected delivery, and line-item detail. We preserve PO status so the destination can flag which orders are open versus closed.
Work Orders / Manufacturing Orders
Mapping requiredWork orders tie to BOMs and track production status, quantities, and routing. We extract work order data and map it to the destination's production or job object, preserving operation sequences where present.
Inventory / Stock
Mapping requiredCurrent inventory balances are extracted at the warehouse and bin level. We handle multi-location inventory by mapping location codes. On-hand quantities and values migrate; inventory transactions (history) require a separate historical load if required by the destination.
GL Chart of Accounts
Fully supportedChart of accounts is migratable as a flat or hierarchical structure. We extract account codes, names, types, and parent relationships. Active versus inactive status is preserved during migration.
Users / Employees
Mapping requiredUser accounts in Syscom ERP include login credentials, roles, and permissions. We extract user records and map roles to the destination's security model, noting any permission-level differences that need manual post-migration review.
Custom Objects / User-Defined Fields
Mapping requiredCustom objects and user-defined fields vary by module and customer configuration. We identify all custom fields during the discovery phase and map them to destination custom fields or extension objects. Schema variation between source and destination requires explicit field-level mapping.
