FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Everything you need to know about buying inecta Food ERP
A Tenant Level helps define your main functionality needs. You can only belong to one Tenant Level, and all licenses you purchase will reflect that level. There are 4 Tenant Levels, each following level containing the functionality of all previous levels.
Level 1 covers the essentials: accounting, buy, sell, ship, and receive. This is the foundation for food distributors and wholesalers who need core ERP functionality without manufacturing.
Level 2 includes everything in Level 1, plus multi-company support, warehouse management, logistics, and quality control. Ideal for distributors and wholesalers managing complex logistics across multiple entities.
Level 3 includes everything in Level 2, plus manufacturing with standard bills of materials. This is designed for food manufacturers who need production planning alongside distribution capabilities.
Level 4 includes everything in Level 3, plus processing, recipes, manufacturing with variable BOMs, and your selection of either vessel, livestock, or grower management. This is the most comprehensive tier for complex food operations.
A Team Member has limited access to functionality. They are able to access certain web apps and reports, as opposed to the main ERP system. This is a cost-effective option for users who only need read access or limited input capabilities.
A device license is required for each specialized device that directly connects to the system for data input and output. This includes scanners, shop floor devices, and POS terminals.
We usually work with companies that have a budget of at least $150,000. Cost can be higher depending on the number of users and devices. Each company's needs are different — we work with you to determine the right tenant tier and number of license types you need to operate effectively.
No. Once you are in a certain tenant tier, you can only purchase license subscriptions at that tier. All your licensing types will be at the same level.
No, add-on modules are charged monthly or annually at the tenant level, for all license subscriptions — not per individual user or device.
Yes, we currently offer a discount when you pay for licenses yearly. New licenses can be added at any time regardless of your billing cycle.
