- How much does ERP software cost for a Chicago business?
- Tellency starts at $79 per user per month, with implementation scoped as a fixed project covering migration from QuickBooks, Sage or spreadsheets, configuration and training. Ask every vendor for the all-in cost to go live and the week you will run your first month-end in the new system.
- Does Tellency handle Chicago and Illinois sales tax correctly?
- Yes. Each transaction gets the combined state, county, city and RTA rate for its location, resale and manufacturing exemptions are tracked against the customer, and the Illinois ST-1 return is produced from the ledger.
- Is Tellency suitable for Chicago manufacturers?
- Yes. Multi-level bills of materials, work orders, labor and overhead absorption, scrap tracking and production scheduling are included, and every production cost posts to the ledger as it happens, so inventory valuation and COGS match the shop floor.
- Can Tellency run multiple warehouses across Chicagoland?
- Yes. Multi-warehouse inventory with bin and lot tracking, inter-site transfers as a single transaction, and location-level margins are standard, on one set of books.
- Can we migrate from QuickBooks Enterprise or Sage?
- Yes. Chart of accounts, customers, vendors, items, bills of materials, open receivables and payables and historical balances are brought across and reconciled to your closing trial balance before go-live.
- How long does implementation take for a Chicago business?
- One to four weeks for most businesses, including configuration, data migration, team training and a parallel month-end before cut-over. Manufacturing setups with complex bills of materials sit at the longer end of that range.
