What sets each system apart
The distinctive features that set both systems apart within the segment.
Haufe X360 positions itself as a deep, cloud-native full ERP for the upper DACH mid-market, interlinking the internationally mature Acumatica platform with German compliance and Haufe/Lexware expertise – above lean SME cloud systems like weclapp or Odoo and below SAP/NetSuite.
- Acumatica platform as the foundation: a proven, internationally scaling cloud ERP base with high functional depth (especially manufacturing/mechanical engineering) and an open marketplace ecosystem (60+ certified integrations).
- Close interlinking with the Haufe Group and the Lexware/Haufe professional world (GoBD, DATEV, ELSTER, German tax and legal know-how) rather than mere technical localization.
- Resource-/function-based pricing model instead of strict per-user licensing – pays off with many occasional users, but starts only at around €449/month minimum booking.
- DE hosting on Microsoft Azure in German data centers (ISO 27001, GDPR) with 'ERP System of the Year 2024' (wholesale) as a reputation signal.
myfactory is the fully integrated, modular cloud ERP 'made and hosted in Germany' for the DACH Mittelstand, bundling broad functionality (ERP/merchandise management/CRM/PPS/e-commerce) with built-in accounting, DATEV integration, and deep DE/CH compliance on a true SaaS platform.
- End-to-end financial accounting built in as standard, with a DATEV interface and standard e-invoicing (XRechnung/ZUGFeRD) — no need for third-party accounting or bookkeeping add-ons
- Very broad, modular feature set (ERP, merchandise management, CRM, PPS, e-commerce, POS, MIS, DMS, HR) on one platform instead of a patchwork of apps
- True 'made and hosted in Germany' SaaS with a GDPR-compliant data center, automatic updates, and strong DACH — including Swiss — compliance (QR-bill, ISO 20022)
- Flexible monthly concurrent-user model with volume discounts from about 10 users — you pay for simultaneous, not named, users
Head-to-head: the assessment
Both perspectives honestly side by side – where one system leads and where the other counters.
Haufe X360 against myfactory
myfactory is a solid, German-language-focused DACH cloud ERP, but technologically and in process depth it falls short of a cloud-native Acumatica platform and is limited internationally. Haufe X360 offers the upper mid-market more scalability, deeper end-to-end processes, and international capabilities alongside German compliance — the more future-proof foundation for growing, more complex companies; for smaller, standard DACH operations, myfactory can be more attractive on price.
myfactory against Haufe X360
Haufe X360, as a cloud-native full ERP built on Acumatica, is technologically more modern, stronger in deep processes, and more internationally scalable — more attractive for upmarket, fast-growing Mittelstand companies. myfactory is leaner, more German-language focused, and with its concurrent-user model from approx. €114/user often cheaper to get started for classic DACH SMEs. X360 plays to its strengths in complexity and growth, myfactory in practicality, DE/CH compliance, and entry-level pricing.
