Exact Online interface with Merkato Essentials:

Efficient CPQ software for complex product variations

Exact Online is a widely used ERP package that provides companies with excellent support for their accounting, inventory management, order management and production processes. For companies with a well-organised product range, Exact Online offers a powerful and easy way to manage products, customer data and financial data. However, for companies working with extensive product variations or composite products, management can become more challenging.

When companies work with multiple product variations or complex compositions, there is a need for additional flexibility and automation. This is because each unique product configuration often requires its own part number and parts list, which can lead to a large number of parts lists and a lot of manual management. Fortunately, Merkato Essentials offers a solution that connects perfectly to Exact Online, specifically for companies working with these kinds of complexities.

The challenge of product variations in Exact Online

Exact Online works efficiently for managing individual products and simple variants. Each product has its own part number and parts list, which works well for well-organised product lines. However, when companies need to offer a wide range of product options, such as different sizes, colours or features, the number of parts lists required can quickly increase. This entails a greater management burden.
