Where it matters

Where the difference shows up day to day

MRPeasy gives small manufacturers a lot of MRP for the money. The difference shows up when regulated work needs features that sit on higher tiers.

Expiry and quality aren’t upgrades

On MRPeasy, expiry dates and quality control start on the Professional plan, and barcodes on Enterprise. Wherefour includes FIFO/FEFO, expiration alerts, barcode labeling, and compliance tools in every plan, so the features an auditor checks don’t depend on your tier.

Checks that can’t be skipped

MRPeasy offers quality control on its Professional plan and above. Wherefour Control Points make checks like metal detection or cook temperature required steps, so a batch can’t move forward until each one is recorded.

Keep your books where they are

MRPeasy includes its own standard accounting and connects to QuickBooks Online and Xero. If your books run on QuickBooks Desktop, Sage Intacct, or Microsoft Dynamics, you don’t have to move them. Wherefour sends invoices, purchase orders, credit memos, and COGS to the accounting system your controller already trusts.

Good Fit

When Wherefour is the better fit

This isn’t about company size. It comes down to whether your products carry lot numbers, expiry dates, and quality records that someone else will review.

Core requirement

Your products have lots and expiry dates

You make food, beverages, supplements, cosmetics, cannabis products, or pet food, and every finished lot needs a shelf life and a traceable path back to its ingredients.

Regulatory

Auditors or retail buyers review your records

FSMA 204, supplement cGMP, SQF, or state cannabis rules apply to you, and you want checks enforced at the step where they happen.

Compliance

You manage COAs and lab results on every lot

Certificates of analysis and test results need to stay attached to the lots they describe and go out with customer shipments.

Accounting

You want to keep your accounting system

Your controller runs QuickBooks, Xero, Sage Intacct, or Microsoft Dynamics, and you’d rather sync with it than run a second set of books.

When MRPeasy is the better fit

MRPeasy is a strong choice for small manufacturers who want capable MRP at a published price. Consider it first if:

You make discrete or assembled products, and lot tracking without expiry dates covers your needs.
Cost is the deciding factor and your team is small. MRPeasy’s Starter plan begins at $49 per user per month, with a free trial.
You want built-in accounting, CRM, and maintenance management in one low-cost tool.

“Using Wherefour has saved me about 10-15 hours per week. I have so much time to focus on growing the business and getting new customers. It’s incredible.”

“For the traceability portion, the auditor selects one product and times us to see how long it takes to check where the product is in-house and at customer locations. It took us less than 10 minutes to complete that portion of the audit successfully.”

Diana Cortes-Blanquicet Co-Founder and Chef, DOU Bakehouse
