Uniconta: cloud ERP for growing SMEs, implemented with finance depth.
Uniconta brings financial accounting, inventory, purchasing, sales, projects and production together in one cloud system, licensed on a usage basis and without the implementation weight of an enterprise suite. We support small and mid-sized companies from selection through implementation and migration to day-to-day operation. The finance architecture comes before configuration, and the hand-off to DATEV and the tax advisor is clean from day one.
Uniconta principle
“A first ERP does not need to be big. It needs to put accounting, inventory and projects on the same numbers — and deliver a month-end close the tax advisor does not have to rework.”
Uniconta Business Unit · JPS-iQ Solutions GroupThe management question
When is a real ERP worth it — and how big does it need to be?
Most SMEs do not switch too late because features are missing, but because the reconciliation effort between accounting, inventory and spreadsheets grows quietly. The right answer is rarely the biggest system — it is the smallest one that will carry your structure for the next few years.
Where are you today?
Six starting points, one fitting next step.
We see these situations again and again ahead of a Uniconta decision. Each one leads to a concrete next step, even when that step is not called Uniconta.
First ERP
Accounting software and spreadsheets are no longer enough
Invoicing, inventory, purchasing and accounting run in separate tools. Reconciliation eats time, and reliable numbers arrive weeks after month-end.
- One data model from order to posting
- Implementation sized for SMEs, not enterprises
Migration
Our Navision or Axapta is showing its age
The legacy system runs on-premise, few people still understand the customisations, and an upgrade would be a project in itself. The question is which successor fits your size today.
- Uniconta and Business Central compared honestly
- Data migration and legacy decisions made deliberately
Existing Uniconta
We already run Uniconta
The system is live, but reporting, close or interfaces are not running smoothly. You want a partner who understands the finance side, not just the software.
- Optimisation instead of a restart
- Ongoing support with named contacts
Growth
We are growing across entities and countries
New subsidiaries, foreign locations, consolidation. Here we check honestly whether Uniconta will carry you or whether a broader platform in the group is the better foundation.
- The limit named before you reach it
- NetSuite and Business Central within the group
System selection
We are comparing several systems right now
Uniconta, weclapp, Odoo, Business Central or NetSuite are on the list. You want to understand which system your structure actually calls for before comparing demos.
- Decision logic instead of feature comparison
- All options within one group
BPO
We lack capacity in accounting
The system is not the problem — the hands are missing. Day-to-day bookkeeping, reconciliations and close need capacity, not another project.
- Operational finance from the group
- Clear process boundaries instead of generic help
The platform
Accounting at the core, the operating business around it.
Uniconta is a cloud ERP from the circle of ERP pioneer Erik Damgaard, the developer of Axapta, built on Microsoft technology. According to the vendor, more than 45,000 companies in over 70 countries use it. What matters to us is something else: in Uniconta, financial accounting is not an appendix to inventory management but the foundation on which sales, inventory, projects and production post.
Sales, purchasing & inventory
Quotes, orders, purchase orders, warehouse management and CRM in one data model. What is sold and bought lands in accounting without an export.
Projects & production
Project control with time and resource tracking, bills of materials and production planning for companies that manufacture or assemble without needing a full manufacturing suite.
On top come dashboards, freely definable reports, business rules for automation and an OData interface for integrations. Uniconta is billed on a usage basis (pay-per-use). As an official partner we sort out licensing with you as part of the project, not as a sales conversation.
Is Uniconta the right step for your company, or would a broader system fit better? A conversation settles that faster than any feature list.

Services
What we deliver around Uniconta, from the decision to day-to-day operation.
We do not configure Uniconta module by module and hope it fits together in the end. We start where the money flows: chart of accounts, tax logic, document flow and close. Then we build sales, inventory and projects so that they post cleanly into that accounting.
The sequence matters more than the feature list. If the finance logic is not clean before go-live, no later configuration will fix the first year-end close.
- 01
Selection & fit
Does Uniconta fit your entity, process and finance structure, and where is the limit? The result is a clear assessment, even if it goes against Uniconta.
- 02
Finance architecture
Chart of accounts, dimensions, tax codes, number series, document flow and reporting structure are designed before the first module is configured.
- 03
Implementation
Process design, configuration, master data, testing, training, cutover and support through the first month-end close, under one line of accountability.
- 04
Migration
Replacing Navision, Axapta, accounting software or spreadsheet landscapes: data decisions, opening balances, open items and the question of which legacy comes along.
- 05
DATEV, tax advisor & e-invoicing
The DATEV hand-off and the collaboration with your tax firm are agreed within the project, as is the handling of incoming and outgoing e-invoices.
- 06
Integrations
Connecting web shop, bank, payment providers and adjacent systems through the Uniconta interfaces, with clear rules on which system leads.
- 07
Operation & evolution
Ongoing support with named contacts: user questions, reports, new entities, new processes. No goodbye after go-live.
Fit
Is Uniconta the right fit for your company?
Uniconta is our entry-level ERP for small and mid-sized companies. It is deliberately leaner than NetSuite, Business Central or SAP. That is an advantage as long as your structure fits within that frame.
Good fit
- Small and mid-sized companies in trade, wholesale, services, project business or light manufacturing.
- You want to bring accounting, inventory, projects and reporting together in one cloud system.
- A Navision or Axapta legacy system needs replacing without introducing an enterprise ERP.
- Collaboration with the tax advisor via DATEV should stay, but without manual rework.
Less of a good fit
- Many entities across many countries with deep group consolidation and statutory variety — NetSuite usually carries that better.
- Complex manufacturing with shop-floor control, capacity planning and high variant counts — a manufacturing-strong platform belongs on the table.
- Service, SaaS or subscription businesses with recurring billing at the core — weclapp is often the better cut.
- An existing Microsoft landscape with heavy extension needs — then we compare against Business Central.
Why JPS-iQ
A Uniconta partner that thinks from the accounting outwards.
Official partner, honest recommendation
We are an official Uniconta partner. The JPS-iQ Solutions Group runs parallel business units for NetSuite, Microsoft, SAP, Zoho, Odoo and weclapp. A Uniconta recommendation is therefore weighed against real alternatives, not against a sales quota.
Finance-first foundation
Chart of accounts, VAT, open items and close take shape from the first workshop. An implementation that delivers clean orders but a messy close has delivered nothing.
Sized for SMEs
No enterprise approach in miniature. Workshops, documentation and project governance are sized to your team, so the day-to-day business keeps running during the implementation.
A path that grows with you
If your company outgrows Uniconta, the next step already exists in the group: Business Central, NetSuite, operational finance through BPO and, with JPS FinanceOS, a dedicated finance layer above the ERP.
Method
Four steps. Fixed outcomes. Clean hand-offs.
Every step ends with a named owner and a usable result, not a slide. That keeps the implementation at the pace of a mid-sized company.
01 — Clarify
Fit & scope
Business model, entities, processes and tax-advisor setup captured. Uniconta fit confirmed, or another platform recommended, before anything is configured.
02 — Design
Finance & process model
Chart of accounts, dimensions, document flow, roles and integration map. The target picture stands before building starts.
03 — Implement
Build, migration & go-live
Configuration, data migration, testing, training and a controlled cutover with support through the first month-end close.
04 — Operate
Support & expansion
Named contacts, continuous improvement, new entities and processes. And a clear statement when the company outgrows Uniconta.
Evidence
What we can evidence, and what we deliberately do not claim.
The Uniconta practice is new to the group. That is why we show no Uniconta customer figures and no project results here. Presenting results from engagements on other platforms as Uniconta evidence would be the easier path, and the wrong one. What is listed here can be evidenced:
Official Uniconta partner
Advisory, implementation and licensing from one source, as part of the JPS-iQ Solutions Group.
Finance-first architecture
Chart of accounts, tax logic, open items and close as design work ahead of configuration.
Platform-neutral advice
Several ERP business units in one group. A recommendation against Uniconta is structurally possible.
German finance depth
HGB, VAT, DATEV collaboration and closing processes as a core competence of the group.
As soon as a Uniconta reference is approved, with customer, starting point, outcome and timeframe, anonymised if need be, it will appear right here. Until then this space stays empty rather than filled.
Hard questions
What you want to know before the first meeting.
Without marketing polish: the questions managing directors, finance leads and tax advisors actually ask before a Uniconta decision.
What does Uniconta — JPS-iQ do?
Uniconta — JPS-iQ is the Uniconta business unit of the JPS-iQ Solutions Group. As an official Uniconta partner, we support small and mid-sized companies through selection, implementation, migration and operation of Uniconta.
With us, the finance architecture comes before configuration, and the hand-off to DATEV and the tax advisor is planned in from the start.
You are an official Uniconta partner — so do you always recommend Uniconta?
We are an official Uniconta partner. Our recommendation still does not depend on the partnership.
The JPS-iQ Solutions Group runs parallel business units for NetSuite, Microsoft, SAP, Zoho, Odoo and weclapp. If your structure calls for a different system, we say so. The alternative sits within the group.
Which companies is Uniconta a good fit for?
Good fit: small and mid-sized companies in trade, wholesale, services, project business and light manufacturing that want to bring accounting, inventory, projects and reporting together in one cloud system.
Less of a good fit: companies with many entities across many countries, deep group consolidation or complex shop-floor control. There, NetSuite, Business Central or SAP are usually the more robust choice.
How does Uniconta differ from Business Central and weclapp?
Uniconta is the lean, finance-strong entry point: a cloud ERP with accounting at its core, plus inventory, projects and production, licensed on a usage basis.
Business Central is the broader Microsoft mid-market platform with a larger partner and app ecosystem. weclapp is tailored to service, SaaS and subscription businesses.
The right answer follows from your structure, not from a preference. An initial call is the quickest way to find out.
Can we keep working with our tax advisor via DATEV?
Uniconta offers a DATEV interface. What the hand-off looks like in practice — which data, at what frequency, who posts what — we agree within the project with you and your tax firm. It is part of the finance architecture, not an afterthought after go-live.
How does an engagement start?
With a 30-minute initial conversation: business model, current system landscape, accounting and tax-advisor setup, timeline.
A short fit and scoping phase follows. Only once it is clear that Uniconta fits do we discuss scope, licensing and schedule.
