MyCompany Manufacturing ERP

MyCompany Manufacturing ERP is a self-hosted ERP and CRM for businesses that need manufacturing alongside sales, purchasing, inventory, invoicing, finance, and projects. It is best suited to small and midsize manufacturers and other operators with technical capacity to run their own server. The strongest case is broad, uncapped functionality at no software charge; the main compromise is that infrastructure and operational responsibility stay with the customer.

Overview

MyCompany’s shared database is its defining advantage. Sales, purchasing, inventory, invoicing, and manufacturing records remain connected, so a sales order can create production demand and completed goods can be posted to stock. That workflow is more useful for an integrated operation than for a team that only needs to maintain bills of materials.

The manufacturing scope includes multi-level bills of materials, production orders, work centers, material reservations, actual cost tracking, and revision control. Those capabilities cover both product structure and shop-floor planning. The system also includes finance, projects, and CRM-related workflows, giving businesses a route to consolidate several operational systems.

Key features

Production control

Multi-level BOMs support products assembled from subassemblies, while revision control helps distinguish current structures from earlier versions. Production orders, work centers, and reservations address the practical steps between demand and output. Actual cost tracking is particularly relevant when managers need to compare production economics rather than only record quantities.

Shared inventory and sales data

Because modules use one database, inventory movements do not have to be re-entered between sales and manufacturing. The inventory page exposes a JSON HTTP API with filtering by category and location, which can help other systems retrieve current stock without replacing the ERP’s core records.

Security and control

ACID transactions are intended to keep database operations consistent, and role-based access applies across the application. Self-hosting stores business data in PostgreSQL on infrastructure chosen by the customer, with the customer controlling database access and backups. That is a meaningful control benefit for organizations with their own security and recovery procedures, but it makes those procedures the customer’s job.

Pricing

The free plan is unusually broad: there are no per-user or record ceilings, and every module is included. It suits organizations that can supply and maintain a Linux or Windows server, or a Docker deployment, and that want to avoid recurring license charges. There is no free trial because the product itself is free. Implementation, deployment, customization, consultation, and support can add cost.

Installation requires a Linux or Windows server with at least 4 GB of RAM and internet access. Support is a separate contract, provided on working days from 09:00 to 18:00 GMT+3 through remote access, phone, or messaging tools. Customers should therefore budget for administration and professional help even though the software price is zero.

Platforms

MyCompany supports API access, Linux, Windows, web use, and self-hosting. It can be deployed on Linux, Windows, or Docker and accessed through a browser client. The Apache 2.0 license covers MyCompany, while its platform uses LGPL v3, making the licensing position more suitable for organizations that want open-source deployment and control over their environment.

Who it's for

The product is aimed at small and medium-sized businesses, including manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, e-commerce businesses, and service companies. It is the best fit when one organization needs production and commercial workflows in the same system and has someone responsible for servers, PostgreSQL data, backups, and access management.

It is a weaker choice for a company seeking a managed SaaS service with no infrastructure work, or for a narrow BOM-only requirement where a focused tool would involve less administration.

Pros and cons

Pros

• All modules and unlimited users and records at 0.00 USD: suitable for growing teams that would otherwise face seat or database caps.
• Connected demand and stock workflows: sales orders can feed production and finished goods can enter inventory without separate module databases.
• Manufacturing depth: multi-level BOMs, revisions, work centers, reservations, production orders, and actual costs address more than simple parts cataloging.
• Customer-controlled hosting: PostgreSQL storage, access, and backups remain on infrastructure selected by the business.

Cons

• Self-hosting burden: the customer must provide the server, internet access, backups, and ongoing administration.
• Services can add cost: deployment, customization, consultation, and contracted support are optional paid work.
• Infrastructure requirement: the installation guide calls for at least 4 GB of RAM on a Linux or Windows server.

Alternatives

For a focused comparison of bill-of-materials tools, see Bill of Materials Software.

• OpenBOM is a better fit when a hosted, cross-platform BOM service and a free allowance of up to 2,000 records matter more than an uncapped self-hosted ERP.
• Cascadia PLM suits teams seeking dedicated PLM with a free self-hosted core and unlimited editors and viewers.
• Dokuly is an alternative for an open-source PLM delivered as a self-hosted Docker stack.
• Dolibarr is another free open-source ERP and CRM option for on-premise or third-party-hosted deployments.
• BOMIST is preferable for a small BOM workload that fits its free single-user, 100-part, three-product limits, or for users willing to pay $50 a year for PRO.
• IndaBOM targets users who want a fully managed, single-user open-source BOM service rather than a broad self-hosted ERP.
• Odoo Manufacturing is worth considering for a web and mobile ecosystem with an unlimited-user One App Free plan and paid broader editions.
• PartsBox is aimed at personal or small parts-management projects, with its free Maker plan limited to one user.

Verdict

Choose MyCompany Manufacturing ERP if you need manufacturing tied directly to sales, purchasing, inventory, finance, and projects, and you can operate your own infrastructure. Its unlimited free plan, open-source licensing, and integrated production records are compelling for technically capable small and midsize businesses. Look elsewhere if you want a fully managed service or do not want to own server, backup, security, and deployment responsibilities.
