Centrik vs Kladana
Both are cloud systems for stock, sales, purchasing and production. Here is where they overlap, where they differ, and how to pick.
The short answer
Kladana is a cloud ERP for inventory, orders and production. It covers warehouses and bins, sales and purchase orders, multi-level bills of materials, production orders, a web-based shop floor app, and integrations with online stores and accounting tools such as Tally and Zoho Books.
Centrik covers similar ground with a different emphasis. It adds a fuller purchase trail (purchase requests, approvals, quality checks on GRNs, two-way or three-way matching and department budgets), job work with ITC-04 tables as CSVs, appointment bookings, and an interface in English and Hindi.
Neither is meant to replace your accounting software. If shop floor tracking and e-commerce connections matter most, look closely at Kladana. If purchase control, job work compliance or bookings matter most, Centrik is the better fit.
