Looking for an MRPeasy Alternative?
MRPeasy is a capable generic MRP system. But if you make bespoke kitchens, furniture, or joinery, you need software designed for made-to-order work, not one built around Bills of Materials with workarounds bolted on for bespoke jobs.
Generic MRP Wasn't Built for Bespoke
MRPeasy is a solid, affordable MRP system that works well for manufacturers making standardised products with defined Bills of Materials. It covers the core MRP functions (production planning, stock control, purchasing) at a competitive price point.
The problem for bespoke workshops is in the fundamentals. MRPeasy's entire architecture is BOM-centric. While workarounds exist for simple make-to-order jobs (generic items, parameterised BOMs), the default workflow still assumes predefined products. When you make bespoke kitchens, custom furniture, or architectural joinery, every order is different: different dimensions, materials, finishes. Fighting a BOM-first system on every unique job adds friction that slows you down rather than speeding you up.
Then there's what's missing: no transport management, no automatic SMS notifications, and while MRPeasy added a B2B customer portal in 2024, it's focused on reordering, not real-time production tracking for bespoke orders. And per-user pricing that charges your shop floor workers the same rate as your admins, which gets expensive fast when you have 10-15 people who need access.
CutFlow was built inside a real 130-person workshop because we needed software that understood bespoke manufacturing from day one, not a generic system we'd have to bend to fit our workflow.

Before & After CutFlow
See how workshops transform when they switch from generic MRP to purpose-built software.
Fighting a BOM-centric system on every bespoke order
MRPeasy's default workflow revolves around Bills of Materials. Workarounds exist for one-off jobs, but they add friction, and you're always working against the grain of a system designed for standardised products.
Flexible order system built for one-off jobs
CutFlow understands that bespoke means every order is unique. Create orders with custom specs, materials, and operations without the overhead of formal BOM structures.
No transport feature, using a separate tool
MRPeasy ends at production completion. Coordinating deliveries means a separate spreadsheet, another app, or constant phone calls to drivers.
Built-in route planning and driver app
Orders flow from production to delivery automatically. Route optimisation, GPS tracking, and proof of delivery in one system.
Per-user pricing that punishes larger teams
Every user in MRPeasy pays the same rate (£37–74/mo depending on tier). Adding shop floor workers who only need to see their tasks costs the same as adding a full admin.
Fair pricing: £5/mo for workshop floor workers
CutFlow charges £5/mo for workers who just need queue view and task updates. Your 7 shop floor staff cost £35/mo total, not £260–520/mo.
Save Over £4,800/year vs MRPeasy
For a typical workshop with 3 office admins and 12 workshop floor workers.
Professional plan, 15 users (with bulk discount)
For 3 admins + 12 workers

Common Questions About Switching
Can I migrate from MRPeasy to CutFlow?
Yes. We offer free data migration assistance for every new customer. Our onboarding team will work with you one-on-one to import your existing orders, customers, and product data from MRPeasy so you can be up and running quickly with minimal disruption to your production.
How does CutFlow pricing compare to MRPeasy?
MRPeasy charges per user regardless of role, from £37/user/mo (Starter) to £74/user/mo (Enterprise), with a bulk discount after 10 users. For 15 users on the Professional plan (£52/user), that's around £579/month. CutFlow uses role-based pricing: £49/month base, £19/month per admin, and just £5/month per shop floor worker. For the same team of 15 (3 admins + 12 workers), CutFlow costs £176/month, saving you over £4,800 per year.
Does CutFlow have MRP / materials planning features?
Yes. CutFlow includes full materials planning with demand calculation based on your active orders, automatic purchase order suggestions grouped by supplier, and stock level tracking. The key difference is that CutFlow's materials planning works naturally with bespoke orders - you don't need to create a formal Bill of Materials for every unique job. For a deeper look, visit cutflow.co.uk/features/materials-planning.
Is CutFlow suitable for my size of workshop?
CutFlow is designed for bespoke manufacturers from small 3-person workshops up to multi-branch operations with 100+ staff. We built CutFlow inside a real 130-person, 5-branch furniture and panel cutting business, so it scales naturally with your workshop. The flexible per-seat pricing means you only pay for what you need.
MRPeasy has more accounting integrations. Is that a problem?
MRPeasy integrates with Xero and QuickBooks Online. CutFlow integrates with Xero and Sage, the most popular accounting platforms for UK SMEs. If you use QuickBooks, we're actively developing that integration. CutFlow also offers WooCommerce and Shopify integrations for real-time e-commerce order sync — something MRPeasy doesn't provide. Most customers find that CutFlow's invoicing system with Xero and Sage sync, combined with e-commerce connectivity, covers their needs. Contact us if you have specific integration requirements.
Built Inside a Real Workshop
CutFlow wasn't designed in an office by people who've never touched a saw. It was built inside a 130-person, 5-branch furniture and panel cutting operation, because no off-the-shelf MRP software understood what we actually needed on the workshop floor.
