Comparison guide
Use this page when the problem is no longer spreadsheets alone, but a stack of disconnected systems that still leaves the operating handoff manual.
Where each fits
Point by point
| Point | Current approach | Zerqano |
|---|---|---|
| System behavior | Each tool solves a narrow problem, but the team still has to join the workflow manually. | Stock, documents and purchasing share one set of records, so a flagged product can go straight into a draft order. |
| Operational truth | Different roles start from different systems and reconcile reality through meetings or messages. | Everyone who opens the plan sees the same numbers and the same reasons. |
| Trust and control | Approvals, rationale, and audit trail live outside the workflow. | Zerqano keeps review, approval, and explanation attached to the action inside the product. |
| Messy input handling | Documents and supplier changes remain trapped in attachments, inboxes, and manual re-entry loops. | Zerqano can pull messy documents into the same operating system through document extraction, review, and routing. |
Because the hard part is often the handoff. Teams still lose time and trust when the daily operating picture has to be reconstructed across tools.
When the business can no longer explain or execute important decisions without reopening three or four systems and several manual workarounds.
No. Small, low-change teams can still operate with spreadsheets. The case for software gets much stronger when the business depends on daily prioritization, messy document intake, and controlled handoff into execution.
We only publish facts we can check on a vendor’s own public site, and we have not published a named comparison yet. The questions in the table work for any product: ask each vendor the same ones.
No. Zerqano reads exports from the systems you already use and drafts decisions for a person to approve. Your ERP or accounting system stays where it is.
Yes. Zerqano reads a copy of your data; nothing in your spreadsheet changes. X-ray your own file runs in your browser without an account.
The Restock plan is built from the stock and sales data you load, and says when it was last updated. It is only as fresh as that data.
The free plan covers up to 150 SKUs. Paid plans start at $99 a month. The pricing page lists every plan’s limits.
The same rows as the table: what you need to start, who writes the reorder logic, how often the plan updates, whether you can see why a number is what it is, who approves an order, and what it costs on top of the ERP.
X-ray a sales export and a stock count without an account, or start free and load your catalog. Either way you see your own products, not a sample.
The X-ray runs in your browser. No account.
