What is Digit?
Digit is a cloud-based MRP and manufacturing ERP built for operations-led manufacturers and distributors — companies that make, assemble, or move physical goods and have outgrown spreadsheets, QuickBooks add-ons, or an aging legacy system. It pulls inventory, purchasing, production, warehouse, and order management into a single real-time system of record so teams stop reconciling data across disconnected tools.
Pros & Cons
Modern, intuitive UI with fast onboarding — most teams go live in weeks, not months
Deep MRP, inventory, and shop-floor traceability (lot, serial, and batch) in one system
Open GraphQL API plus pre-built connectors to QuickBooks, Xero, Sage Intacct, NetSuite, Shopify, and Amazon
Predictable pricing from $400/mo — positioned below tier-1 cloud ERPs such as NetSuite
No native general ledger or AP/AR — financials run through an accounting integration
Limited HR, payroll, and project-accounting depth
Younger vendor with a smaller partner and implementer ecosystem than incumbents
Best fit for SMB–mid-market operations; complex multi-entity finance needs may outgrow it

Is Digit the right fit?
The core decision buyers face with Digit: is your gap on the shop floor and in the warehouse, or in the finance department? Digit leads with operations — MRP, shop-floor control, and traceability — and connects out to a dedicated accounting platform for the general ledger, the inverse of a financials-first ERP like NetSuite.
Pain is inventory accuracy, production scheduling, or traceability rather than finance
DigitNeeds financials and full ERP breadth unified in one platform
NetSuiteWants an SMB ERP from an established ecosystem with accounting built in
SAP Business OneNeeds only the lightest, most basic MRP for a very small shop
MRPeasyNeeds deep HR/payroll or complex multi-entity finance consolidations in one system
NetSuite
Key Differentiators
Operations-first, not finance-first
MRP, inventory, and production are the core, with accounting handled through integrations rather than a built-in ledger.
Weeks, not months, to go live
Most deployments land in roughly 2–8 weeks, versus the multi-month projects typical of larger ERPs.
End-to-end traceability
Lot, serial, and batch tracking from supplier receipt to customer shipment, with barcode scanning and audit/recall readiness.
Open GraphQL API
A documented, modern API plus pre-built connectors, so Digit slots into an existing stack instead of replacing it wholesale.
Modern, intuitive UI
A clean interface designed for shop-floor and warehouse staff, not just power users, which shortens training.
Predictable, quote-based pricing
Positioned below tier-1 cloud ERPs, with cost-predictability cited repeatedly by customers who compared it to NetSuite.

Digit Modules
MRP & Demand/Supply Planning
A unified view of demand, supply, and on-hand inventory across sites, with safety-stock and reorder points, suggested purchase and manufacturing orders generated from live data, and schedule alignment against capacity and lead times. This is Digit's strongest area and the reason most buyers evaluate it.
Read more →Inventory Management
Real-time stock that updates automatically as items are received, moved, or shipped, across multiple locations and bin locations. Supports nested pallets and containers, lot/serial status with live quantities, FIFO/LIFO methods, and automatic unit-of-measure conversions.
Read more →Manufacturing & Shop-Floor Control
Manufacturing orders with routings, work centers, and operation steps; priorities and due dates; a production calendar and job scheduler; and yield and time tracking that feed true job costing. Suited to discrete and light process manufacturing rather than complex, highly regulated process industries.
Read more →Warehouse Management
Barcode-driven receiving, putaway, and fulfillment. Wave, batch, or bin-sequence pick lists, pack validation before labels print, and generation of packing slips and bills of lading. Configurable and serialized label templates with built-in barcode generation for SKUs, lots, and pallets.
Read more →Procurement & Purchasing
One-click purchase order creation and vendor management, complete or partial receipts, auto-generated purchase history and supplier insights, and automatic unit conversions — replacing PO-by-email-and-spreadsheet workflows.
Read more →Traceability & Quality
Full lot, serial, and batch genealogy from supplier to shipment, designed so a recall or audit can be answered in seconds. Shelf-life and expiry handling support food, beverage, cosmetics, and chemical workflows.
Read more →Sales & CRM (Light)
Quote-to-cash sales order management, customer portals with live order, invoice, and shipment status, a deal pipeline, and flexible per-customer or per-product price lists. Useful for coordinating orders, but lighter than a dedicated CRM.
Read more →Integrations & Platform
Pre-built connectors to QuickBooks Online and Desktop, Xero, Sage Intacct, NetSuite, Shopify, WooCommerce, Amazon, and eBay, plus an open GraphQL API for anything custom. Fully cloud-hosted with no infrastructure to manage.

Pricing
Digit is priced by users, modules, and scope rather than a single published rate card, and sits below tier-1 cloud ERPs like NetSuite.
Entry-tier subscription
Plans start at $400/month; above that, cost is quoted based on users, modules, and scope rather than published in full.
First-year cost (independent estimate)
As an independent planning estimate, most SMB and lower-mid-market deployments fall in the $6K–$50K range for year one, covering subscription plus a light, weeks-long implementation.
Accounting platform not included
Because Digit has no native general ledger, budget separately for QuickBooks, Xero, Sage Intacct, or NetSuite if you don't already run one.

Digit vs NetSuite vs MRPeasy
A direct look at how the three systems buyers compare most often stack up:
Core strength
Digit focuses on MRP, inventory, and traceability. NetSuite leads with financials plus a broad ERP suite. MRPeasy offers lightweight MRP.
Native accounting
Digit and MRPeasy both integrate with external accounting rather than including a general ledger; NetSuite includes a full GL natively.
Best company size
Digit fits roughly 1–1,000 employees. NetSuite targets mid-market to enterprise. MRPeasy suits small manufacturers.
Implementation
Digit typically goes live in 2–8 weeks, NetSuite in 3–6+ months, and MRPeasy in days to weeks.
Pricing
Digit starts from $400/month on a plan basis; NetSuite is premium, priced per user plus modules; MRPeasy publishes low, fixed tiers.
Best for
Digit suits operations-led makers and distributors needing depth without enterprise cost. NetSuite suits companies wanting financials and ERP breadth in one platform. MRPeasy suits very small shops wanting basic MRP.
Competitors and Alternatives
Digit competes most directly with cloud MRP tools such as MRPeasy, Katana, and Fishbowl, and is frequently shortlisted against NetSuite and SAP Business One by companies that want manufacturing depth without enterprise cost or implementation timelines. Other systems worth comparing head-to-head:
Oracle
The original cloud ERP — built for fast-growing companies
Best for: Fast-growing mid-market companies wanting unified cloud ERP
SAP SE
SMB-friendly ERP from the SAP ecosystem
Best for: Small to midsize businesses wanting SAP reliability
Acumatica (EQT Partners)
Resource-based cloud ERP — unlimited users, pay by usage
Best for: Midsize companies wanting unlimited users and flexible cloud ERP
Epicor Software

Best for: Discrete and mixed-mode manufacturers
MRPeasy, Katana, and Fishbowl remain lighter cloud MRP alternatives for smaller manufacturers without a dedicated page here. See where Digit ranks on our best ERP for manufacturing and MRP software guides, or compare it side by side with any alternative.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Digit include accounting and a general ledger?
No — Digit deliberately leaves financials to dedicated accounting platforms and integrates with QuickBooks Online and Desktop, Xero, Sage Intacct, and NetSuite. Inventory valuations, costs, and orders sync to your ledger, but the general ledger, AP/AR, and statutory reporting live in the accounting system, so you run (or keep) a separate accounting tool.
How long does Digit take to implement?
Most deployments go live in roughly 2–8 weeks, far faster than the multi-month projects typical of tier-1 ERPs. Timelines depend on data quality, the number of locations, and how many integrations you switch on, but Digit's standardized cloud setup and modern UI keep onboarding short.
Who is Digit best for?
Operations-led SMB and lower-mid-market manufacturers and distributors whose pain is inventory accuracy, production scheduling, and traceability rather than finance — a strong fit for discrete and light process manufacturing, food and beverage, and multi-location distribution. It's a weaker fit if you need native financials, deep HR/payroll, or multi-entity consolidations in one platform.
How much does Digit cost?
Plans start at $400/month for the entry tier; higher tiers are quoted by users, modules, and scope, sitting below tier-1 cloud ERPs like NetSuite. As an independent estimate, most first-year deployments fall in the $6K–$50K range including a light implementation — budget separately for an accounting platform if you don't already use one.
What does Digit integrate with?
Pre-built connectors cover QuickBooks Online and Desktop, Xero, Sage Intacct, NetSuite, Shopify, WooCommerce, Amazon, and eBay. Anything else can be built on Digit's open GraphQL API, which buyers frequently cite as a deciding factor versus more closed competitors.
Is Digit a good NetSuite alternative?
For the right profile, yes. Companies needing manufacturing and inventory depth but not NetSuite's full financial suite often choose Digit for faster implementation, a more approachable UI, and lower, more predictable cost while keeping their existing accounting system. Companies wanting financials and ERP breadth unified in one platform are usually better served by NetSuite or Acumatica.
