Best for manufacturing ERP with lot and serial stock
Genius ERP covers scheduling, shop floor, quoting, accounting and inventory, with serial or lot tracking and stock allocated to jobs. No price is published, the cost is estimated per shop, and it is a lot of software for simple stock counting.
Who Genius ERP is for
- Fits if you run a manufacturing shop and want stock tied to jobs and lots
- Works for firms that design in SOLIDWORKS or Inventor
Who Genius ERP is not for
- Not for you if you only count stock, as it is a full manufacturing ERP
- Skip it if you want a price on the page, as none is published
- Watch out: the directory lists it as Genius Inventory while the vendor sells Genius ERP
- Watch out: no free plan or trial is shown
Why Genius ERP gets a 2.0

- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb with a cloud option and a REST API, plus SOLIDWORKS, Autodesk Inventor, HubSpot and Avalara links.

Keep Genius ERP, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of Genius ERP you could make: inventory, quotes and estimates and reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 2 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
What you could make
- Inventory, quotes and estimates and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- It plugs into other products, SOLIDWORKS, Autodesk Inventor and HubSpot among them, and has an API.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Genius ERP’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Genius ERP?
Genius ERP is manufacturing software from Genius Solutions that covers production scheduling, shop floor, quoting, accounting and inventory. Inventory tracking goes down to serial or lot number, with materials allocated to jobs. Pricing is estimated for each shop; none is published.
Worth knowing

- It is a full manufacturing ERP, not a stand-alone inventory tool, so it is a heavy fit for simple stock counting.
- Listed in the directory as Genius Inventory; the vendor sells it as Genius ERP.
Key features

- Job allocation
- Allocate specific materials to jobs before production, with soft or hard allocation and back flush or front flush consumption.
