FerroSync vs MRPeasy
MRPeasy is solid, self-serve MRP for small manufacturers — and it expects your books to live somewhere else. FerroSync puts the general ledger in the same database as your BOMs, so the shop floor and the financial statements can never drift apart.
| FerroSync | MRPeasy | |
|---|---|---|
| Accounting | Built in: double-entry GL, statements, periods, year-end close, bank rec | Standard Accounting module is basic; full books via QuickBooks / Xero integration |
| Production & MRP | BOMs, production orders with costing, work centers, MRP → draft POs | Mature MRP: routings, capacity planning, Gantt scheduling |
| Traceability | Lots + expiry with FEFO picking, serial numbers, ledger-posted cycle counts | Lot and serial tracking on Professional tier and up |
| Procurement | POs with approval thresholds, partial receiving, 3-way match, landed costs | POs and vendor management; matching workflow is lighter |
| Banking & AR/AP | Bank reconciliation with auto-match, AR/AP aging, credit limits, statements | Handled by your external accounting package |
| Interface | Modern React app — fast, keyboard-friendly, no training course needed | Functional but dated; steeper learning curve is a common complaint |
| Deployment | Your own isolated instance and database | Shared multi-tenant SaaS |
| Pricing | $500/mo + $50/user — every feature included, no tier ladders | Per-user tiers (from ~$49/user/mo); key features gated behind higher tiers |
| Free trial / demo | Instant live demo with sample data, no card | Free trial available |

Why manufacturers pick FerroSync
Stop rekeying your shop floor into QuickBooks
MRPeasy's accounting story ends at an integration. FerroSync posts every receipt, production run, shipment, and payment to a real double-entry ledger the moment it happens — and hands you the P&L, balance sheet, and trial balance without a sync in between.
No feature ladder to climb
With per-user tier pricing, the features you actually need — traceability, approvals, API access — tend to live two tiers up. FerroSync has one price, $500 a month plus $50 per user, and everything is in it.
Software your team won't fight
A modern, fast interface your operators can learn in an afternoon. The best MRP data in the world is worthless if entering it feels like punishment.
Your own instance, your own data
Every FerroSync customer runs an isolated instance with its own database — not rows in a shared system. Export everything, any time.
When MRPeasy is the right choice
Pick MRPeasy if detailed routing, capacity planning, and Gantt-style production scheduling are the center of your operation — its planning engine is deeper than ours today. Pick FerroSync if the pain you feel is the gap between the shop floor and the books: costing that doesn’t match the GL, month-end reconciliation, and two subscriptions doing one job.
