About Aptean

Aptean is a commercial software company that builds ERP and supply chain applications for specific industries. Instead of a single generic system, it sells products tailored to sectors such as food and beverage, discrete and process manufacturing, distribution and others.

Industry-specific ERP generally means built-in functions for requirements like lot traceability, regulatory compliance, recipes or formulas and warehouse processes that a general ERP would need customization to handle. The vendor site could not be read when this entry was written, so confirm the current product families and target industries on the Aptean website.

Aptean is proprietary software sold through direct sales and partners, with both cloud and other deployment choices depending on the product. It is relevant to small and mid-sized companies that want a vertical ERP with sector knowledge.
