The modern alternative
to legacy ERP
Traditional ERPs take 6 months to deploy and a full team to keep running. Piston is the next-generation ERP: its AI agents run your operations, from procurement to sales, you approve, and you're live in 3 weeks.

Excel
Excel is where every growing company starts. But every order, stock movement and invoice depends on someone opening a file. Piston turns those files into one system, run by agents.

What legacy ERPs can’t do for you
The problem isn’t which ERP you pick — it’s the model itself. See how each alternative compares below.
6 to 12 months to deploy
Setting up a legacy ERP requires a dedicated project team, months of configuration, and ongoing IT maintenance. Piston is live in 3 weeks.
Manual work all the way down
Orders, stock movements, invoices — all entered by hand. Piston agents handle the operations; your team handles the exceptions.
Locked in by design
Per-seat pricing, proprietary data formats, and high switching costs are features, not bugs. Piston gives you full data ownership from day one.
