Desktop, Web or Mobile ERP — Which Is Right?
How to decide the deployment model that fits your business.
One of the first decisions in an ERP project is deployment. The right choice depends on your team size, locations, internet reliability and industry.
Desktop ERP
Desktop ERP runs directly on user workstations and stores data on a central server. It offers the richest offline performance and is a strong choice for offices with reliable, fast LANs.
- ✓Fast, responsive data entry with no internet dependency
- ✓Strong security within a controlled office network
- ✓Ideal for small- to mid-sized single-location businesses
Web-Based ERP
Web ERP runs in the browser and centralises everything on a server. It is ideal when you need multiple locations, remote users or lower per-seat client management.
A hybrid model gives you the best of both: a desktop client for heavy users and web access for remote, light users.
Making the Right Choice
Base your decision on headcount, internet reliability, number of sites and the complexity of each user role.
- ✓Single site, high-speed LAN, heavy data entry — desktop
- ✓Multiple sites or remote teams — web-based
- ✓Mixed workloads — hybrid desktop + web model
