How much does OpsUI cost?

OpsUI starter packs begin at A$499/month on opsui.au or NZ$499/month on opsui.co.nz (Lite entry tier, two users included). Individual modules are from A$299/NZ$299 per month with five users included; additional users are A$99/NZ$99 per user per month. The full Enterprise tier — every module plus all integrations — is custom-quoted.

What is a modular ERP, WMS & CRM?

A modular ERP, WMS & CRM sells each operational capability — finance, HR, warehouse, logistics, customer management, analytics — as a separately-priced product instead of one monolithic suite. Buyers pick only the modules they need today and add more as they grow. OpsUI is modular by design: 20 operational modules covering ERP, WMS, and built-in customer management, plus 5 integration connectors (NetSuite live today; Xero, MYOB, Abel ERP and SAP Business One wired during rollout) — all individually priced.

Can OpsUI run alongside NetSuite?

Yes. OpsUI supports bidirectional NetSuite sync out of the box. Customers running NetSuite frequently buy specific OpsUI modules — Wave Picking, Slotting Optimisation, ML/AI Predictions — to upgrade operational areas without replacing the GL.

Is OpsUI suitable for Australian and New Zealand small businesses?

Yes. OpsUI is built for Australian and New Zealand operations. Australian customers use opsui.au with AUD pricing and AU-region data hosting; New Zealand customers use opsui.co.nz with NZD pricing and NZ-region data hosting.

Does OpsUI integrate with Xero or MYOB?

Yes. OpsUI ships bidirectional sync for both Xero and MYOB via the Finance & Accounting module — wired against your accounting tenant during rollout rather than installed from an app marketplace. Customers, items, chart of accounts and tax codes flow from your accounting system into OpsUI; sales invoices, credit notes, payment status updates and inventory adjustments flow back. Built on the Xero REST API + webhooks and MYOB's AccountRight Live + Business APIs. Full sync detail at opsui.co.nz/integrations/xero or opsui.au/integrations/xero. A documented REST API on every module is also available for custom integration.

Where is OpsUI customer data hosted?

New Zealand customer data is hosted in New Zealand. Australian customer data is hosted in Australia. Both regions are encrypted at rest with AES-256 and in transit with TLS 1.3, with role-based access control and full audit logging.

How long does an OpsUI rollout take?

Honest answer: it depends on your data, integrations, and team availability. Every business is different. We don't quote a fixed timeline on the website because we'd be inventing a number. We scope your specific implementation during the demo. Enterprise rollouts use a stage plan: scope, configure, train, launch, one module set at a time.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. You can try OpsUI free right now with no signup and no email. Open https://app.opsui.co.nz/login?demo=1 (New Zealand) or https://app.opsui.au/login?demo=1 (Australia), pick a role, and explore the full product with seeded sample data. For a walkthrough scoped to your own operation, book a guided demo via opsui.au/book-consultation or opsui.co.nz/book-consultation. Direct to a person, no sales development sequence.

OpsUI vs Katana

Modular ERP, WMS & CRM versus a manufacturing-led inventory and light-MRP platform

In one line

OpsUI is a modular ERP, WMS & CRM with 20 operational modules and 5 integration connectors, each priced individually, spanning warehouse, orders, CRM and finance sync, while Katana is a manufacturing-led inventory and light-MRP platform built for product makers, with multi-level BOMs, production orders, routing, and live shop-floor status, plus Xero / QuickBooks accounting integration.

Katana is purpose-built for product makers. The core workflow is BOM-driven: define what you make, define what it is made from, and Katana handles purchase order generation, production scheduling, and inventory reservation against open work orders. It is genuinely strong at light-manufacturing and make-to-stock workflows.

OpsUI is broader. For operators whose pain spans manufacturing plus warehouse, CRM, shipping, and operational reporting, OpsUI consolidates those into one modular product rather than stitching Katana to a separate WMS, CRM, and shipping tool.

The honest split: if your operational world is dominated by "what we make and how we plan it", Katana is a strong choice. If manufacturing is one layer of a broader operations problem, picking, dispatch, returns, customer management. OpsUI covers more of it natively.

Side by side

OpsUI vs Katana, feature by feature.

	OpsUI	Katana
Pricing model	Per module, public on /pricing (from NZ$299 / A$299 per module, packs from NZ$499 / A$499 / mo)	Tiered plans, public pricing, Essential / Advanced / Professional, per-user fees stack above the base
Core scope	Modular ERP, WMS & CRM across 20 operational modules + 5 integration connectors	Inventory, multi-level BOM, production planning, light MRP, shop-floor visibility
Manufacturing depth	Manufacturing module (BOMs, work orders; routing and finite-capacity scheduling not yet shipped)	Strong — multi-level BOMs, production orders, routing, batch tracking, shop-floor app
Warehouse management depth	Dedicated WMS modules (wave picking, slotting, cycle counts, dock scheduling, scanner-driven)	Basic, bin tracking, pick lists, stock takes; advanced WMS via integration partners
CRM	Native CRM module with sales pipeline and customer history	Customer records, no dedicated sales CRM
Accounting integration	NetSuite (live), REST API (live), Xero / MYOB (bidirectional sync, wired during rollout)	Xero (deep), QuickBooks Online

Honest pick

When Katana is the better fit

You are a product maker and your central operational concern is what you produce, how it is planned, and how production tracks against inventory, true manufacturing pain, not warehouse or CRM pain.
You need multi-level BOMs, routing across work centres, and shop-floor visibility (production status, operator views) as core functionality, not as a future module.
You are happy to keep Xero or QuickBooks for finance and add a manufacturing-first inventory layer rather than buying a broader ERP.
You already use the Katana app on the shop floor or have an existing implementation and the switching cost outweighs broader-scope upside.
Your operational complexity outside manufacturing is modest, single warehouse, simple dispatch, no real CRM need.

Where OpsUI wins

When OpsUI is the better fit

Manufacturing is one layer of a broader operations problem. You also need warehouse picking, dispatch, returns, CRM, or analytics, and you would rather buy one modular product than stitch Katana to four others.
Your manufacturing footprint is light assembly or make-to-stock with single-level or simple multi-level BOMs, not full MRP, and the broader operations scope matters more than manufacturing depth.
You want first-party NZ Couriers and Australia Post integration sitting in the same product as inventory and orders, rather than via Starshipit or ShipStation.
You want NZ data hosted in NZ and AU data hosted in AU on separate domains.
You value vendor proximity, NZ-built, NZ-owned, NZ business hours support, rather than a Tallinn-headquartered global product.

ANZ context

Katana has strong ANZ adoption among small NZ and AU makers but is built and operated from Estonia. OpsUI is NZ-built, NZ-hosted (for NZ customers), AU-hosted (for AU customers), and handles GST, NZ Couriers, and Australia Post natively without third-party shipping middleware.

Common questions

What buyers ask before choosing.

Is Katana an ERP?

Not in the traditional sense. Katana is a manufacturing-led inventory and light-MRP platform. It does production planning and stock control extremely well, but it does not include native CRM, accounting, HR, or full warehouse management. Most Katana customers pair it with Xero or QuickBooks for finance and run it as the manufacturing system within a multi-tool stack rather than as a single ERP.

Does OpsUI replace Katana for manufacturers?

For light-assembly and make-to-stock manufacturers with single-level or simple multi-level BOMs, yes. OpsUI's Manufacturing module covers the same scope plus warehouse, CRM, and shipping in one product. For manufacturers whose central need is multi-level BOM routing, finite-capacity scheduling, and shop-floor visibility, Katana is the stronger fit today. The right call is to be honest about manufacturing complexity.

Is OpsUI cheaper than Katana?

For Katana's Essential plan, prices are similar at the entry tier. For Advanced and Professional tiers (multi-user manufacturers), OpsUI is usually competitive or cheaper, particularly when you include the WMS, CRM, and shipping modules that Katana customers typically buy separately. Honest comparison: bundle the full toolkit cost, not just the manufacturing line.

Can OpsUI integrate with Katana?

OpsUI exposes a REST API and could in principle be wired to Katana, but most operators pick one or the other for their core operational system rather than running both. The exception is operators with a heavily Katana-driven production floor who want OpsUI as a CRM or shipping layer above it.

Does OpsUI have a shop-floor app like Katana?

Not today. OpsUI ships Bluetooth scanner support and warehouse-floor workflows in the Warehouse module, but a dedicated production-floor app (operator-screen views, work order check-in / check-out) is not currently shipped. For manufacturers where that visibility is load-bearing, Katana is the better choice.
