Khaos Control Essential ERP FAQs
Cloud ERP (enterprise resource planning) is a software solution that is hosted online and accessed via the internet. In contrast to traditional, on-premise ERP systems, which need to be installed on local servers and require on-site hosting and maintenance, cloud ERP software is managed remotely by the provider and means you don’t need any in-house IT support.
Updates, backups and security are all handled remotely and automatically, making it a cost-effective solution for small businesses who may not have the time or resource to maintain a system themselves.
Khaos Control is the UK’s only employee-owned ERP provider.
We remain determinedly small , allowing us to build genuine partnerships with our customers, relationships that last for decades, not just contracts, and span generations of business owners.
All of our solutions are built on our own proprietary software. That gives us a distinct advantage:
- Complete control over product direction – we evolve the platform based on real customer needs
- A truly unique offering – our competitors can’t replicate what we deliver
- Agility and responsiveness – we adapt quickly to industry changes and customer demands
- Extensive integration capabilities – flexible, scalable connections across your tech stack
- Technology leadership – we are developers and innovators, not resellers
- Direct access to expertise – faster support and issue resolution through our in-house development team
- Scalability without limits – a platform designed to grow with your business
Of course! While Khaos Control Essential is ideal for many growing businesses, we also offer an on-premise solution – Khaos Control Enterprise. If you decide to switch to on-premise later on, we’ll support you throughout the transition to ensure that all your data, workflows and integrations are migrated over to the new system, so you can continue to reap the benefits of Khaos Control’s software.
If you’re an ecommerce business, we also offer a hybrid solution that encompasses cloud, on-premise and ecommerce within one, single solution.
Not at all. Our cloud ERP for SMEs is designed so that all everyday business users can get the most out of their software, whatever their business and whatever their role. The user interface is easy to use and intuitive and our expert support team are always on hand to answer any queries or to assist with training or troubleshooting.
Khaos Control Essential is a great fit for SMEs in retail, wholesale distribution, and ecommerce, as it’s particularly strong for businesses that manage large or complex inventories, operate across multiple sales channels, or require real-time stock control and order management. But really, any business can benefit from its extensive features and scalability.
Whether you’re conducting business online, in-store, or through marketplaces like Amazon and eBay, our cloud ERP system helps keep your business connected, compliant, and competitive.
