About Xentral
Xentral represents the next evolution of e-commerce operations, providing a full ERP system designed specifically for modern product businesses. While Billbee focuses on order management, Xentral goes deeper—handling inventory management with multi-warehouse support, production planning for businesses that manufacture products, and comprehensive purchasing workflows. For German e-commerce businesses that have outgrown simple order management tools, Xentral provides the operational depth needed to scale. The platform integrates with major sales channels including Shopify, Amazon, and marketplaces, while also connecting with shipping providers and accounting software. What distinguishes Xentral is the manufacturing and production capabilities—for businesses that assemble products, manage BOMs (bills of materials), or run light manufacturing, Xentral handles the complexity that pure e-commerce tools cannot. The pricing (starting at €199/month) reflects this enterprise capability, making Xentral most appropriate for businesses with significant operational complexity. For product businesses planning to scale beyond a few million euros in revenue, investing in proper ERP infrastructure through Xentral can prevent the operational chaos that often accompanies growth.
Pricing & Plans
- Starter: €199/month - up to 100 orders/month, single warehouse
- Pro: €299/month - up to 500 orders/month, multiple warehouses
- Premium: €499/month - unlimited orders, advanced manufacturing
- Enterprise: custom pricing - dedicated infrastructure, custom integrations
- Setup & onboarding: €500-2000 depending on complexity
Warehouse & Inventory Management
Xentral excels at managing inventory across multiple warehouses. Track stock levels in real-time, set automatic reorder points, manage variants and SKUs. The system automatically allocates inventory to orders based on location, warehouse, and availability. Multi-warehouse support includes transfer management between locations and inventory forecasting to prevent stockouts.
Multi-Channel Order Management
- Shopify: automatic order import, inventory sync
- Amazon: FBA and FBM fulfillment support
- Marketplace integrations: eBay, Cdiscount, Idealo, and others
- B2B portal: direct customer ordering from custom web shop
- Order consolidation: view all channels in single dashboard
Production & Manufacturing Workflow
Unlike pure e-commerce tools, Xentral handles assembly and light manufacturing. Define Bills of Materials (BOMs), manage component inventory separately from finished goods, track production runs, and generate work orders. This is essential for businesses that assemble products from components, create custom kits, or manage simple manufacturing operations.
Comparison: Xentral vs. JTL vs. plentymarkets vs. Billbee
JTL is more affordable for small businesses but less enterprise-ready. Plentymarkets is the most comprehensive but also the most complex and expensive. Billbee is order-management focused without warehouse or manufacturing depth. Xentral strikes the balance—more capable than Billbee, more affordable than plentymarkets, and specifically designed for manufacturing-enabled e-commerce.
Shipping & Logistics Integration
- DHL: label generation, tracking integration
- UPS: international shipping, customs documentation
- Post: local and international options
- DPD: parcel tracking and delivery confirmation
- Custom carriers: API integration for proprietary systems
- Shipping rules: auto-assign carriers based on weight, destination, method
Accounting & Financial Integration
Xentral connects with major accounting systems to automate financial data flow. Orders automatically create journal entries, invoices, and expense records. Integrated cost of goods sold (COGS) tracking and margin analysis help businesses understand profitability by product, channel, and customer. Real-time financial dashboards provide visibility into revenue, costs, and margins.
