Comparison guide
Use this page when the debate is still about whether spreadsheet-led planning can support the speed, control, and connected workflows your business now needs.
Where each fits
Point by point
| Point | Current approach | Zerqano |
|---|---|---|
| Data freshness | Manual exports and cleanup keep the planning view stale the moment the day starts moving. | 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. |
| Document handling | Invoices, purchase orders, and confirmations still need rekeying before they affect the plan. | Document Intelligence extracts, reviews, and routes paperwork into the workflows it should change. |
| Prioritization | The team must still decide what matters most every morning from a flat, manual worklist. | Zerqano ranks what deserves action first and ties each issue to the workflow that resolves it. |
| Execution handoff | The planning context is usually lost when the team moves into procurement or commercial action. | The reason stays attached to the draft purchase order the plan produces. |
No. The strongest case emerges when the daily workflow now depends on connected signals, approvals, and operational handoff rather than a periodic planning snapshot.
Usually the biggest change is replacing the daily triage ritual with a decision system that already knows what deserves attention and where the team should go next.
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.
