Who publishes Best ERP Systems, and how are the lists ranked?
Who publishes Best ERP Systems
Best ERP Systems is published by Black Badger Software Solutions, a software company based in Clearwater, Florida. Black Badger builds custom software, including custom ERP systems, for companies that have outgrown the products they rent.
That matters for how you read these lists. A custom build by Black Badger is one of the ranked options on every list, and its entry says so. We take no commission from any vendor named here and have no reseller arrangement with any of them.
How the Best ERP Systems lists are ranked
Each list answers one question for one kind of buyer, and the ranking is specific to that question. The same product can be first on one list and last on another.
We weigh how much of the business an option covers and what the vendor publishes about price. We also weigh how it is bought and implemented, and how far it can be shaped to a specific process. The lists are written for companies of roughly 50 employees and up.
The custom route is ranked like any other option. It sits in the top three on every list because we believe it belongs there for companies of this size. It is first only where the question is about outgrowing or replacing a product.
Where the facts on Best ERP Systems come from
How each option charges, its plan names and its limits are read from each vendor's own website, and every entry shows the date they were read and links to the page. No prices are printed on this guide. Each entry says how the option charges and lists its pros and cons. Most ERP vendors publish no price. When that is so, the entry says it and does not estimate one.
Vendors change their plans and limits often. If you find a fact here that no longer matches the vendor's page, the vendor's page is right.
How often Best ERP Systems is updated
Every page shows the date it was last updated. We recheck the facts against the vendors' sites on a regular cycle and revisit the rankings when a product, a price or a limit changes enough to matter.
