Frequently Asked Questions

01 Why is Plex implementation so expensive?

Plex is a comprehensive platform that requires significant configuration, data migration, process mapping, integration with existing systems, and extensive training. Implementation typically starts at $100,000 and can exceed $500,000 for large global deployments. The complexity reflects Plex's depth as a full smart manufacturing platform, not just basic ERP.

02 How does Plex pricing scale with company size?

For a small business with 10 users, expect around $2,000-5,000/month in licenses plus implementation. For a large enterprise with 1,000 users, monthly costs can reach $20,000+ with annual costs exceeding $200,000. Volume discounts apply at higher user counts.

03 What's the typical implementation timeline?

Small businesses with basic requirements might complete implementation in 3-6 months with costs starting at $10,000. Global enterprises often require 12+ months with implementation costs upward of $100,000. The timeline depends on number of sites, data complexity, customization needs, and integration requirements.

04 Is Plex only cloud-based?

Yes, Plex is a cloud-native platform with no on-premise deployment option. This ensures all customers benefit from continuous updates and Industry 4.0 capabilities, but means you'll have ongoing subscription costs rather than perpetual licensing options.

05 What makes Plex different from traditional ERP?

Plex combines ERP, MES, quality management, and supply chain in a single cloud platform with deep shop floor integration. It's designed for real-time manufacturing visibility and Industry 4.0 connectivity, making it more comprehensive than traditional ERP but also more complex and expensive.

06 Are there annual billing discounts?

Yes, yearly pricing plans offer discounts compared to monthly billing. For example, annual pricing might be $20,000 for 10 users (vs $24,000 paid monthly) and $200,000 for 1,000 users (vs $240,000 monthly). Specific discounts vary by package and negotiation.
