What It Is

ERPLY Books is a web-based accounting software product for businesses, entrepreneurs, and accountants. It covers day-to-day finance workflows from invoicing, purchasing, and bank imports to the general ledger and reporting. The materials indicate that it is suitable for small, medium-sized, and large businesses, as well as accounting firms that manage books for multiple companies, with use-case descriptions for industries such as construction, investment, professional services, and rentals.

Core Features and Collaboration

The product’s core focus is accounting automation. The purchase invoice inbox centralizes invoice management and reduces data-entry time; bank import and bank reconciliation help record and match payments, and the system can also learn rules based on historical actions. Core modules include the chart of accounts, manual journal entries, general ledger, sales and purchase invoices, fixed assets, VAT reports, management reports, prepayments, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. Dimensions such as projects, project groups, departments, and objects are useful for analyzing construction projects, rental assets, or multi-entity investment companies.

For collaboration, the system supports adding multiple users, assigning roles, and linking users to organization locations or projects. A single user can also manage multiple organizations.

Pricing and Deployment

ERPLY Books lists a starting price of 0€/month and offers a 30-day free trial and a free demo. Its pricing appears closer to modular billing: additional users cost 5€/user, the purchase invoice inbox costs 0.15€/invoice, and features such as bank import, fixed assets, VAT reports, email sending, and e-invoicing each cost 5€. Pricing for more than 10 companies requires a quote. Deployment is cloud/Web-based, with mobile apps available on Google Play and iTunes, but self-hosting is not mentioned.

Integrations, Security, and Support

Integration is one of its selling points. The materials mention connections with warehousing, expense management, rental and property management, credit card payments, e-commerce, payroll software, and ERPLY POS integration. Bank imports cover Estonian banks, major international bank statements, and PayPal. An API is explicitly mentioned, though documentation details are limited.

On security, only automatic backups and CSV export are described; there is no disclosed information about encryption, audit logs, ISO/SOC certifications, GDPR, or other compliance details. The support email is [email protected].

Pros, Cons, and Best Fit

Its strengths are a fairly complete accounting feature set, clear automation capabilities, and strong support for multi-company and project-based dimensions, which makes it friendly to accounting firms and project-driven businesses. Downsides include an unclear public pricing/package structure, the need to calculate total cost separately after adding modules, custom invoice templates requiring service-provider handling, and limited security/compliance disclosure.

ERPLY Books is better suited to SMBs and accounting service providers with European operations that need bank imports and multi-company bookkeeping.

Access from China and Alternatives

The materials do not provide information about access from China, local Chinese payment methods, or integration with Chinese banks. Although Chinese is included among the interface languages, actual network availability and compliance fit remain unknown. If your operations are mainly in China, consider comparing it with local finance and tax software such as 用友, 金蝶, and 畅捷通. If you prefer a more international setup, you can also evaluate Xero, QuickBooks, and Zoho Books.
