MRPeasy and SKEDS serve different industries, so if both have surfaced in your search it is worth being clear about what each is for. Here is a fair comparison to help you choose.
What MRPeasy is good at
MRPeasy is a cloud manufacturing ERP designed for small manufacturers with up to around 200 employees. Bills of materials, production planning and routing, stock and procurement, with accounting via Xero or QuickBooks, it gives a small factory the planning backbone big ERP promises without the weight. It is built for production lines rather than job sites: field crews, dispatch boards and site safety are not its domain.
Where SKEDS focuses
SKEDS is a job scheduling and management platform built around a live dispatch board, an offline field app, and site safety and invoicing in one place, localised for 11 markets. If recurring maintenance, built-in health and safety, and local tax and accounting matter to you, that is where SKEDS puts its weight.
Compare them point by point
Here is what SKEDS offers against the things worth checking on any tool. We have filled in our own column and left MRPeasy for you to confirm, because their plans and features change over time.

How to decide
If you make products and need production planned against BOMs and stock, MRPeasy is squarely aimed at you. If you send crews to customer sites and need those jobs scheduled, made safe and invoiced, that is what SKEDS does. The honest answer is still to try the one you are leaning toward on a real week of your own work. SKEDS offers a free 14-day trial and a guided import, so you can move your clients and jobs across and compare like-for-like rather than from a feature list. Not sure where to start? Our comparison guide walks through the criteria.
A note on fairness
We have described MRPeasy in general terms and our own product specifically. Features and pricing for other products change often, so confirm the current details on MRPeasy’s own site before deciding. SKEDS is not affiliated with MRPeasy, and nothing here is meant to disparage it.
