Migrate your SYSPRO data
Industry-specific ERP for manufacturing and distribution, with deep inventory, BOM, and supply chain tooling and a flexible on-premise or cloud deployment model.
In its favor
Why people choose SYSPRO
The signal that keeps SYSPRO on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
SYSPRO is purpose-built for manufacturing and distribution — not a generic ERP retrofitted for the sector — so customers get inventory tracking, BOM management, and supply chain tooling that maps to their actual workflow.
The Business Objects framework lets mid-market manufacturers build custom automation and lightweight apps without a full development cycle, which G2 reviewers cite as a significant differentiator.
Flexible deployment options (SYSPRO Avanti cloud or on-premise) allow companies to choose an operating model that fits their IT maturity and data sovereignty requirements.
Named-user or concurrent-user licensing gives growing manufacturers a pricing structure they can negotiate based on actual headcount rather than a flat enterprise fee.
Strong EDI and XML interface capabilities make SYSPRO a natural hub for B2B trading-partner data exchange in complex supply chain environments.
Frequent stability issues and performance regressions reported in SYSPRO 8 require ongoing IT attention and create unreliable conditions for data-dependent operations.
The depth of SYSPRO's data model demands significant technical expertise to administer — smaller teams without dedicated ERP staff struggle with the operational overhead.
Outdated UI and desktop-client experience frustrate end users accustomed to modern SaaS interfaces, driving pressure to migrate to more user-friendly platforms.
Implementation and customization costs can exceed $500K for complex multi-site deployments, prompting cost-conscious SMBs to re-evaluate at renewal.
Support quality is reported as inconsistent across VAR partners, leading to delayed resolution of critical issues and dissatisfaction at the operational level.

What gets migrated
SYSPRO object support
Object-by-object support for SYSPRO migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Customers
Fully supportedCustomer master records are the primary AR-facing entity in SYSPRO. Full field coverage including custom form fields attached to customer take-on programs. We migrate all standard address, contact, and credit-limit data.
Suppliers
Fully supportedSupplier master records drive AP and purchasing. We extract full vendor data including EDI/XML trading-partner flags and contract pricing, then map to the destination's vendor object.
Inventory Items
Mapping requiredSKUs carry extensive product attributes — unit of measure conversions, stocking locations, cost layers, and warehouse-specific quantities. Multi-warehouse setups require us to flatten or pivot bin-level records during migration.
Sales Orders
Fully supportedOpen and historical sales orders migrate with line items, pricing, and fulfillment status. We flag back-ordered lines that may not resolve in the destination system.
Purchase Orders
Fully supportedPurchase order headers and lines migrate including receipt status. Blanket PO releases and EDI/XML export flags are preserved to maintain supplier relationship continuity.
Bills of Materials
Mapping requiredBOM structures with multi-level component routing and phantom assemblies require careful recursive extraction. We preserve bill versions and effective dates that SYSPRO tracks per BOM revision.
Jobs (Work Orders/WIP)
Fully supportedSYSPRO Jobs are the manufacturing work-order entity tied to routing, labor posting, and material issues. We map job status, work-center assignments, and WIP valuations.
Invoices / Credit Notes
Fully supportedAR and AP invoices including multi-currency headers and line-level tax codes migrate. Contra-invoice relationships used for AP netting are preserved via custom mapping logic.
Chart of Accounts
Fully supportedAccount codes, cost-center structure, and journal-entry templates extract cleanly from SYSPRO's master file setup. We map account types and posting groups to destination ERP equivalents.
Users / Operators
Mapping requiredSYSPRO operators carry security-role assignments and MFA enrollment records. Operator-level restrictions must be translated to the destination's permission model, which often uses different role concepts.
Custom Fields
Mapping requiredCustom Form Entry fields attach to specific programs (Customer take-on, Sales Order entry, etc.) and can reference lookup tables or carry formula-driven values. We extract both the field definitions and the populated data, then remap to destination custom fields.
Multi-Site Configuration
Mapping requiredSYSPRO supports multiple sites with independent module sets and shared or site-specific master data. We identify which records belong to which site and ensure cross-site transactions are not split during import.
