Best ERP for trading businesses

The best ERP for trading businesses: Why growing traders choose Square Loop

Generic ERPs are built for everyone, so they fit no one well. Square Loop is built for one kind of business: companies that buy, stock and sell.

Six reasons

What makes Square Loop the best ERP for trading businesses

Built around quotations, stock, landed cost and collections, which is the work trading companies do every day.

01

Made for trading, not adapted to it

Option-group quotations, stock reservation, unit conversions, landed cost, PDC cheques and credit control come as standard. They are not paid add-ons.

02

Everything is connected

One click turns a quote into an order, an order into a delivery and a delivery into an invoice. Stock and accounts update themselves.

03

Numbers you can prove

Every journal entry links to its source document, and posted documents are corrected through reversals, never silent edits. Your auditor will thank you.

04

Your team, on mobile

Sales, warehouse, accounts and managers each get a mobile workspace designed for their job.

05

Configurable without custom code

Turn features such as reservations, approvals, portals, multi-currency and HR on or off per company. The system fits your process today and grows with you tomorrow.

06

A partner, not just a licence

We set it up, import your data, train your people and stay with you after go-live.
