Orderfy vs MYOB: an alternative for wholesale operations
Orderfy vs MYOB.
Looking for an MYOB alternative for an Australian wholesale or trade supply business? Here is how the two differ, fairly put.
Orderfy is cloud ERP software for Australian wholesalers, distributors and trade suppliers, and an alternative to MYOB for businesses that sell before they buy. Orderfy is built around the order: a customer order raises its supplier purchase orders and carries through receiving, picking, delivery and the invoice. MYOB may suit you better if you want accounting, payroll and operations from one vendor.
