Frequently Asked Questions

Should German manufacturers choose abas or NeoDonkey?

abas has deep German compliance (GoBD, DATEV integration, local tax rules) and manufacturing expertise. NeoDonkey doesn't have German compliance built-in. If you're a German SME manufacturer, abas is the safer choice. If you're elsewhere or want zero cost, NeoDonkey works.

Can I use NeoDonkey in Germany?

Yes, but you'll need to configure German tax rules and compliance yourself. abas has this built-in. For German companies without manufacturing needs, NeoDonkey is viable but requires more setup.
