How to choose a Zoho Creator ERP alternative
- Price the implementation, not the licence; ask for fixed-scope quotes from two partners and reference calls with customers in your industry.
- Check the Indian localisation depth: GST, e-invoicing, TDS, e-way bills and state-level compliance should be native, not custom.
- Decide between an SMB ERP (Tally-adjacent, Busy, Marg, ERPNext, Zoho One) and a mid-market suite (SAP B1, NetSuite, Dynamics 365) based on users and complexity, not ambition.
