IT-Enterprise vs Proboot
Ukrainian IT-Enterprise is designed for large enterprises: production planning, HR, IFRS and dozens of modules for plants and groups of companies. It is a powerful system, and the question isn't whether it is good. The question is whether a factory making from a few dozen to a few hundred pairs a day needs that scale.
Two different approaches
IT-Enterprise
Implementation as a project. Assessment, requirements spec, configuration around your processes, training. It usually takes an implementation team and an in-house IT specialist.
Proboot
Ready-made footwear production logic, gathered over ten years of work with footwear factories. Size runs, tech cards with per-size norms and stages from cutting to packing are already in the system; you don't have to describe them in a spec.
What this means for a footwear factory
Timeline
A large ERP project takes months. Proboot launches in stages: orders and the finished goods warehouse first, then materials, tech cards and shop floor work.
People
A large system needs an administrator. In Proboot, the owner or manager sets up stages, assembly methods and carton types in reference lists.
Industry
A generic ERP describes footwear the same way as bolts or transformers. Proboot knows what a last, a size run, hand lasting or machine toe and heel lasting are.
Cost of ownership
Licences, implementation, maintenance and customisation add up to a serious sum. Proboot is a subscription or licence, with a plan sized to your production volume.

If you already use IT-Enterprise
When IT-Enterprise is the better choice
If you run a holding with several plants, your own IT department, IFRS reporting and production beyond footwear, a large ERP is justified. Proboot is for factories that need accuracy in pairs and money without a months-long implementation project.
How to switch
