Xentral is one of the best-known cloud-based ERP systems for online retailers in the DACH region. Nevertheless, many e-commerce companies are exploring alternatives. The reasons for this come up time and again in our consultancy meetings: the need for native Microsoft integration, the question of an ERP backend capable of supporting international growth, and the desire for a dedicated point of contact rather than a ticket system.
One of these alternatives is collana diva now, our compact ERP solution for start-ups and growing online shops. It is based on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. This article compares the two systems and shows which solution is best suited to which businesses.
collana diva now combines stock management, accounting, CRM and returns management in a single software solution. It is built on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. This means the solution integrates natively with Microsoft 365 and can be expanded using Business Central extensions. The LabelPort dispatch module and the collana pay payment hub are already integrated.
collana diva now is the compact version of our ERP solution collana diva. Predefined industry-specific processes speed up implementation. If the business outgrows the system’s functionality, you can upgrade within the same product family and on the same Microsoft platform. There is no need to change systems.
Xentral and collana diva now both cover the core processes of online retail: from goods receipt through order processing to dispatch. There are four key differences between the systems.
The platform. collana diva now is built on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. This opens up additional possibilities for extensibility and integration, particularly when used in conjunction with Microsoft 365. Xentral uses its own cloud platform and, where appropriate, integrates with Microsoft 365 via connectors.
Payment transactions. With collana diva now, the multi-payment hub collana pay forms an integral part of the solution. Xentral integrates popular payment service providers via API.
The pricing model. Xentral has been charging on the basis of turnover since 2026. The price is determined by the annual turnover bracket in combination with the selected package. collana diva now operates on a licensing model based on modules and the number of users.
The support. At collana, you will be supported by a personal point of contact and a dedicated team. Xentral offers a help centre, a community and bespoke consultancy packages.
Which solution is best suited to your needs depends on your requirements, your objectives and your growth plans. The comparison table provides an overview of the differences.
