If you're a manufacturer with complex shop-floor operations, MRP, and production scheduling needs, Epicor is the better choice. If you're a distributor, service company, or light manufacturer that needs core ERP (GL, AP, AR, inventory) without the manufacturing complexity, NeoDonkey is the better fit.
