Frequently Asked Questions
What is FACT ERP.NG?
FACT ERP.NG is an all-in-one ERP software designed for small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs), connecting accounting, inventory, sales, purchasing, operations, tax compliance, and real-time reporting in one system. With 39 years of ERP expertise across Asia, FACT is CEO-led and designed for transparency and ease of use—giving CEOs, Chartered Accountants, and teams one clear, connected source of truth.
What is the difference between Accounting Software and ERP Software?
Accounting software records what happened to your money — invoices, ledgers, payables, receivables, tax returns. It's a finance tool.
ERP runs the business that creates those numbers — inventory, purchasing, sales, warehousing, production, HR — with accounting built in. ERP ensures the business runs in one connected system, so a single set of records serves every department instead of separate spreadsheets and applications.
The difference: in an ERP, entries post themselves. A single goods receipt updates inventory, costing, and the ledger simultaneously, keeping operations and finance automatically in sync.
How is FACT different from other ERP software?
FACT was built differently—with compliance and transparency at its core, not added later. Designed by accountants, its features give businesses greater control, visibility, and accountability.
Compliance & Control: Built-in tax and GST/VAT compliance, maker-checker approvals, user-level access controls, multi-company and multi-currency consolidation, and immutable audit trails—all standard, not add-ons.
Complete Transparency: Drill down from any financial statement to the original voucher, document, and user. The CXO Control Tower, our dashboard, gives leaders a real-time view of cash, receivables, margins, stock, and exceptions—without waiting for month-end.
With FACT, governance and visibility aren't extra features. They're built into the ERP.
What is the FACT CXO Control Tower?
The FACT CXO Control Tower is FACT ERP.NG’s real-time business dashboard that gives CEOs and decision-makers a complete view of their business in one place. Track cash flow, receivables, payables, sales, margins, inventory, profitability, and exceptions—and drill down from high-level KPIs to the underlying transactions.
No spreadsheets. No waiting for month-end reports. Just the information you need to make faster, informed decisions.
