What Deskera ERP is

One subscription, one platform: accounting, inventory, order management, procurement, manufacturing planning, CRM, and payroll in a single cloud suite. The target buyer is a small or lower-mid-market product company, usually a manufacturer or distributor, that would otherwise run entry-level accounting software surrounded by a patchwork of add-on tools. Deskera positions the result as an integrated ERP and MRP platform rather than a collection of separate apps.

Company and product background

Founded in Singapore in 2008, Deskera grew as a SaaS provider for small and midsize businesses across Asia before expanding westward. The company now presents itself as US-based, with operations spanning the United States, India, Singapore, and Canada.

The positioning has shifted noticeably over the years, from low-cost small-business applications toward a fuller ERP and MRP suite for product businesses, and published pricing has moved upmarket along with it. Anyone reading older reviews should treat both the scope descriptions and the price points as out of date.

Functional scope

The accounting core handles invoicing, bank reconciliation, and financial reporting, with multi-warehouse inventory that supports lot and serial tracking. Order management covers multi-channel sales fulfillment; procurement adds vendor management and purchase orders. On the manufacturing side there are work orders, production planning, demand forecasting, and MRP runs for material planning. An integrated CRM brings pipeline management and marketing automation, and the HR module covers employee records, attendance, leave, and payroll. Mobile apps extend core workflows to phones and tablets.

Target market and what it costs

Deskera aims at small and growing product companies, from a handful of users up into the lower mid-market. The vendor highlights manufacturing niches such as apparel and footwear, food and beverage, and suppliers in automotive and aerospace, alongside general wholesale and distribution businesses.

Pricing is published, which is still the exception in this market. The Growth plan costs 199 US dollars per user per month and the Mid Market plan 249 US dollars per user per month, both billed annually with a five-user minimum, while an Enterprise tier is quoted individually. One-time implementation and setup fees come on top. At the five-user minimum the entry point lands near 1,000 US dollars per month before implementation, a number worth modeling honestly with our ERP TCO calculator against both cheaper entry tools and established mid-market suites.

Our take

The case for Deskera is a small manufacturer that has outgrown standalone accounting software and wants MRP, inventory, CRM, and payroll under one contract instead of four. Manufacturing planning is still relatively uncommon at this end of the market, and that is the clearest reason to put the product on a shortlist.

It is a poor fit for cost-driven buyers who remember the brand as the budget option, because the published per-user prices no longer support that reputation. Three further caveats belong in the evaluation: the corporate footprint and headquarters narrative have moved between Singapore and the United States over time, the partner and integration ecosystem is smaller than those of long-established competitors, and US buyers should verify payroll and tax coverage for their specific states before relying on the HR module.

Frequently asked questions

What modules does Deskera ERP include?

The core combines accounting and financial reporting, multi-warehouse inventory with lot and serial tracking, order management, and procurement. Manufacturing features sit on top: work orders, production planning, and MRP. An integrated CRM and an HR module with payroll complete the suite, and everything runs on one cloud platform with shared data, which is what removes the synchronization work between separate point solutions.

How much does Deskera cost?

Deskera publishes its pricing, unusually for this market. The Growth plan is listed at 199 US dollars per user per month and the Mid Market plan at 249 US dollars per user per month, both billed annually with a minimum of five users, while an Enterprise tier with advanced features is priced individually. One-time implementation and setup fees are charged separately, so total first-year cost sits meaningfully above the subscription line alone.

Is Deskera suitable for small manufacturers?

They are the core audience. Bills of materials, work orders, production planning, demand forecasting, and material requirements planning are all covered, which fits light discrete manufacturing and assembly operations well. What it is not is a full shop-floor control or MES replacement. Plants with heavy automation, complex scheduling, or strict traceability regimes should walk through their own scenarios in a test rather than trusting the module list, and be prepared to hear that part of the requirement belongs in a separate system.

Where is Deskera based?

Deskera was founded in Singapore in 2008 and initially grew across Asian markets. The company now presents itself as US-based, with operations in the United States, India, Singapore, and Canada. For buyers the mixed footprint mostly matters for support coverage and contract terms, so ask which team will handle implementation and ongoing support for a US account.

Can we migrate from QuickBooks or spreadsheets?

That is the typical adoption path the vendor targets. Expect to transfer the chart of accounts, customers, vendors, items, and open balances, plus some cleanup of historical data along the way. Because implementation and setup are billed separately from the subscription, scope the migration effort explicitly in the quote, and run financial reports in parallel through at least one closing cycle before switching the old system off.
