Why ERP pricing varies so much
There's no single answer to 'what does ERP cost' because ERP isn't one product — it's a category. A five-person trading company and a 500-worker garments factory both need 'ERP,' but their requirements, user counts, and integration needs are completely different. The two biggest cost drivers are: how many people will use the system (licensing usually scales per user or per module), and whether you need a ready-made platform or a custom build tailored to your exact workflow.
