Overall pretty shocking as they were pitching to be an ERP replacement for e-commerce. Anyone who was using Stitch Labs as an ERP-light is going to have a substantial amount of pain migrating in a hurry. I've referred some of Stitch Labs biggest customers to their platform, so I feel particularly guilty about their being sunset in an acquihire like this. If anyone needs advice about what to do, I'm well versed in the area of OMS & ERP migrations. Linkedin is in my profile

Stitch labs slag off ERP a lot. What're your thoughts on NetSuite? I know lots of fast growing companies that use it.

  Ran a business that started on stitch. What a painful piece of software that is. We had a heavily custom integration to their api and very high order volume. Moved to NetSuite, built many a customization and integration. NetSuite is great, but expensive and you will find the developer experience painful. As an ERP without investing heavily in customization it does a great job.

    SuiteScript has improved, there's now intellij plugins and they've recently upgraded the supported JS version which runs on Graal VM. It's still a little clunky but that's just ERP for you. I'm seeing some customers pay around 50 - 80k AUD per year on 1 - 2 year terms at the moment. What would you consider expensive?

I'd love to hear about your thoughts on where things in this area are going. We provide an in-house, completely customizable ERP system for wholesale distributors, many of which have started selling directly to consumers via Amazon, Shopify, etc. Since joining, I've provided direct integrations between these channels and our ERP (it's an old system installed on-premises). We're in the middle of reinventing the company's attempts at e-commerce to a SaaS model. It seems like Stitch Labs was trying to downplay the role of an ERP, but based on our customers it seems like it's still needed.
