Both are not the right fit for Manufacturing company because these 2 solutions are built for small and medium size enterprises mainly for accounting purpose but not for operations. They need modules like Production planning & Scheduling, Quality management, adv' inventory optimization, Shoop floor control, Supplier management, Adv' warehouse, Inbound and outbound logistics and so on.

Hi Sanjay,
My recommendation is to evaluate ERP software from a long-term perspective as it is a big investment. As I understand, your organization is growing and needs better control and reporting hence you are looking for business transformation and digitalization therefore ERP is the first step in business transformation.
As Inteliwaves (visit us at www.inteliwaves.com) are in the SAP consulting field a company based out of Mumbai, India we are dealing with the business requirement for ERP implementation day in and day out, and from our past experience we have observed that customers who have implemented small scale ERP software do not support business growth due to scalability issue and after few years they need to look for another solution for their growing business demand.
I will recommend you to checkout for the SAP Public cloud option which is best in the current market scenario. Please lets us know if you need more details on SAP Public cloud solution or demo as we are an SAP partner. Thanks & regards, Manish, manish.chhatbar@inteliwaves.com, 9930636260
I think you should first look at Dynamics BC. We have provided consulting services to your company and knows in-and-out of your processes. Ranthosh knows me very well. You can reach out to me at 9811359356
Look at e10x-ERP (educe10x.com). Built natively for the cloud, connects using a browser, and no need for hefty hardware installations, etc. e10x-ERP is focused on SMB manufacturing companies and has a suite of modules that will fit your requirements. The modules include attendance and payroll which most other ERPs do not offer as standard.
Also, integrated with WhatsApp Business (for auto reports, auto messages to customers, suppliers, etc), email, trigger, and event-based reports, integrated with GST (ASP).
