OpsUI vs Wiise
A full Microsoft Business Central ERP versus a lightweight modular ops layer that keeps your ledger.
OpsUI is a modular ERP, WMS and CRM operations layer you bolt onto the finance system you already run; it differs from Wiise by not replacing your ledger with a full Microsoft Business Central deployment.
Wiise is one of the few genuinely Australian-built ERPs. It is Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, rebadged and localised for Australia, with KPMG and Commonwealth Bank backing behind it. That heritage matters: Wiise brings full financials, AU payroll, BAS and STP, plus the wider Microsoft 365 and Power Platform ecosystem into a single platform aimed at mid-market businesses, roughly the A$2 million to A$50 million revenue band.
OpsUI is a different shape of product. It is a modular ERP, WMS and CRM operations layer that you buy a module at a time and run alongside the finance system you already have. The wedge is deliberate: keep Xero, MYOB or NetSuite for the ledger, GST, BAS and STP, and add OpsUI on top for the warehouse, inventory, orders, shipping and customer relationships. There is no ledger migration and no rip-and-replace.
That makes the two tools answers to different questions. Wiise answers 'we have outgrown small-business accounting and want one mid-market platform for finance and operations together'. OpsUI answers 'our finance system is fine, but our operations are running on spreadsheets and bolt-ons and we need a real warehouse and order layer without a full ERP project'.
This page is an honest comparison for Australian operations and ops-finance buyers. If you are a true mid-market business that needs full Business Central financials and the Microsoft stack, Wiise is likely the better fit and we say so plainly below. If you are a sub-A$2 million operator who wants operations capability fast without replacing the books, OpsUI is built for exactly that gap.
OpsUI vs Wiise, feature by feature.
| OpsUI | Wiise | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Flat modular pricing in AUD. Individual modules from A$399/module/month, starter packs from A$1,499/month with 5 users, additional users A$99/month. You pay only for the modules you switch on. | Per-user subscription licensing in the Business Central tradition, typically sold through an implementation partner with the cost shaped by user count, edition and rollout scope. |
| Product shape | Modular operations layer (WMS, inventory, orders, shipping, CRM) bought a la carte and added to your existing finance system. | Full ERP platform: Microsoft Business Central rebadged and localised for Australia, covering finance, operations and payroll in one system. |
| Finance and ledger | Does not replace your ledger. Keep Xero, MYOB or NetSuite; GST, BAS and STP stay where they already work. OpsUI syncs operational data back to the finance system. | Is your ledger. Full general ledger, AU payroll, BAS and STP run inside Wiise, which is the point of moving to it. |
| Implementation effort | Designed to go live in weeks, module by module. Start with one or two modules and expand as you go. | A full ERP implementation: a partner-led, multi-month project to migrate finance and operations onto one platform, with the rigour and timeline that implies. |
| Ideal company size | Built for the sub-A$2 million operator and growing SMBs, plus larger teams that want an ops layer without ledger change. Wiise is built for the A$2M-A$50M mid-market; below that, a full Business Central rollout is more system than the operation needs, which is the gap OpsUI fills. | Aimed squarely at the A$2M-A$50M mid-market that has outgrown small-business accounting and wants a single integrated platform. |
| Warehouse and fulfilment depth | WMS is the core: wave picking, zone picking, slotting optimisation, cycle counting, receiving, and a dedicated shipping/outbound module. | Has warehousing capability within the Business Central framework, strongest when paired with the full ERP rollout rather than run as a standalone ops tool. |
| Microsoft ecosystem | Independent platform; integrates with finance systems and carriers rather than tying you to one vendor stack. | A genuine strength. Native fit with Microsoft 365, Power BI, Power Platform and the broader Dynamics ecosystem if your business already lives there. |
| Carrier and shipping integration | Carrier integrations are wired during rollout (direct API, aggregator or file-based) — Australia Post, StarTrack, Sendle, Toll and others, plus the Shippit aggregator, run through the Shipping/Outbound module, confirmed at scoping. NZ Couriers is the one live carrier API today. | Shipping handled within the ERP and via partner add-ons; carrier connectivity depends on the implementation and chosen extensions. |
| CRM | Customer relationship management is an available module in the same operations layer, so sales and fulfilment share one system. | Relationship management leans on the Dynamics and Microsoft ecosystem; deeper CRM may mean adding Dynamics 365 Sales alongside. |
| Data hosting and sovereignty | AU-hosted production data with AUD billing on opsui.au and AU business-hours support, plus a Melbourne presence (engineering HQ in Wainui, NZ). | Runs on Microsoft Azure with Australian data centre regions available, in line with Business Central's cloud hosting. |
| Risk of switching | Low. Your books do not move, so the project is additive and reversible at the operations layer. | Higher by design, because moving your ledger and payroll onto a new platform is a significant change with real upside but real commitment. |
When Wiise is the better fit
- You are a genuine mid-market business (roughly A$2M-A$50M) that has outgrown small-business accounting and wants one platform for finance and operations together.
- You want full Business Central financials, AU payroll, BAS and STP inside the same system, rather than keeping a separate ledger.
- Your organisation already lives in the Microsoft ecosystem (Microsoft 365, Power BI, Power Platform), and a native Dynamics-family fit is worth a lot to you.
- You have the appetite and budget for a partner-led, multi-month ERP implementation and want the depth and single-platform integration that comes with it.
When OpsUI is the better fit
- You are a sub-A$2 million operator or growing SMB whose operations have outpaced the books, but whose finance system is genuinely fine as it is.
- You want to keep Xero, MYOB or NetSuite and add operations capability, rather than migrate your ledger, payroll and BAS onto a new platform.
- Your real pain is the warehouse and fulfilment: picking, slotting, receiving, shipping and inventory accuracy, not your general ledger.
- You want to go live in weeks on one or two modules and expand a la carte, instead of committing to a multi-month full-ERP rollout.
- You prefer flat, predictable modular pricing in AUD over a per-user, partner-implemented ERP project with a larger up-front commitment.
OpsUI bills in AUD on opsui.au with AU-hosted production data and AU business-hours support, plus a Melbourne presence backing the Wainui (NZ) engineering HQ. Because OpsUI sits on top of your existing finance system, GST and BAS reporting and STP stay in Xero, MYOB or NetSuite where they already work, while OpsUI feeds operational data back via the Finance and Accounting module (bidirectional NetSuite sync is live; Xero and MYOB sync is wired during rollout). Carrier integrations are wired during rollout (direct API, aggregator or file-based) — Australia Post, StarTrack, Sendle, Toll and others, plus the Shippit aggregator, run through the Shipping/Outbound module, with NZ Couriers the one live carrier API today, alongside connections to AU marketplaces and platforms like eBay AU, Catch, The Iconic, Shopify and WooCommerce.
