Yes — absolutely. In fact, customization is one of our core strengths over traditional MRP systems.

Our system is modular by design, so you can start with the essentials and add only the features your shop actually needs. Whether you want to tweak an existing workflow, integrate with other tools, or build something industry-specific, we’re here to help.

We always listen to and work closely with our users to understand their needs and deliver flexible, tailored solutions — without the complexity or overhead you'd find with large, rigid platforms.

For most shops, we can have your system up and running within 1–2 business days. Once you sign up, we’ll open a dedicated portal for your shop and handle the basic configuration quickly — no IT team or complex onboarding required.

If you need help with data migration — whether you're moving from spreadsheets, paper records, or a legacy system — or if you request specific customizations, the setup process may take a bit longer. But we’ll work closely with you every step of the way to make sure everything is smooth and stress-free.

Our goal is to get your shop running as quickly as possible — with a system that’s tailored to how you actually work.

Yes — and we’re here to help every step of the way.

Whether you’re coming from spreadsheets, paper records, or an older legacy system, we offer hands-on guidance to help you bring your data into our platform as smoothly as possible.

That said, not everything is always within our control. For example, migrating from paper may require some manual data entry, and certain legacy systems don’t allow data export at all. In those cases, we’ll work closely with you to come up with the most efficient and practical path forward.

We treat data migration as a collaborative process — and our goal is to make it as painless as possible, especially for small teams who may not have the time or technical background to do it alone.

By default, we host your MRP system on secure, U.S.-based cloud servers under our subdomain — so you can start using it right away with minimal setup on your end.

However, we’re flexible: you’re free to host it elsewhere, use your own custom domain, or even run it entirely on-premise within your own network. We’re happy to work with whatever setup fits your shop’s needs best.

System requirements are minimal. All you need is a computer with a modern web browser and internet connection — no special hardware or IT infrastructure required.

If you choose to run the system on-premise without internet access (via intranet), the core features will still work. However, certain functionalities — like API integrations or remote access — may be limited without an external connection.

Yes — absolutely. We know that many small manufacturers, especially those with experienced teams, still rely on spreadsheets to run their day-to-day operations. ATX MRP is built to work alongside Excel, so your team can transition at a comfortable pace.

We support both Excel export and import, meaning:

• You can export key data like inventory, BOMs, schedules, and purchasing records to Excel anytime.
• You can import your existing spreadsheets directly into ATX MRP — no need to re-enter everything manually.
• Your team can keep using familiar tools while gradually adopting the new system.

Our goal is to make the transition as smooth and flexible as possible. You’re free to run both side-by-side — and when you're ready, migrate fully to ATX MRP without disruption.

As a side note: We also understand that not everyone uses Microsoft Excel. Some of our clients prefer tools like Google Sheets, Smartsheet, or other spreadsheet-based systems to manage their data. ATX MRP supports those too — and that’s where our custom integration services come in. We’ll work with you to connect your existing workflow to our system smoothly.

No problem at all.

We believe your data should always belong to you — not locked behind fees, delays, or complicated exports.

That’s why we make it easy to export all your data if you ever decide to move to another system, whether it’s a more complex ERP or something entirely different. We’ll even help you through the process to make sure it’s smooth and clean.

Unlike many vendors, we don’t believe in holding your data hostage. In fact, if your business grows to the point where you outgrow our system, we consider that a win — because that means our MRP helped you get there. That’s the kind of success we’re proud to support.

We’re not here to trap you — we’re here to help you grow.

Yes — and we take your data privacy extremely seriously. All of your data is hosted on secure, U.S.-based servers by default. We never outsource development or support, and we do not work with foreign contractors. Everything is managed in-house, right here in the United States.

If you have specific needs, we also offer flexible hosting options — including the ability to host your system on your own servers or even on-premise.

We will never sell your data, share it with third parties, or even use your email address for anything other than essential account-related communication. No tracking, no spam, no hidden agreements.

Your data belongs to you — and we’re committed to keeping it safe, private, and under your control at all times.

No, we don’t offer a free tier.

We believe in providing real value, not bait-and-switch offers. Free tiers often come with limited features, low-priority support, hidden fees, or restrictive limitations that can end up costing you more in the long run. We don't want to waste your time.

Our goal is to deliver a complete, reliable solution that helps your shop succeed — and that means offering a product we can stand behind with full support and continued development.

We’re a small business helping other small businesses, and our pricing is designed to be fair, transparent, and sustainable — no tricks, no catch, and no compromises on quality.

We’re proudly based in Austin, Texas, and all of our software is built and supported 100% in-house — with no outsourcing or foreign contractors involved.

While our MRP system is designed to be easy to set up remotely, we do offer on-site consulting and implementation support for manufacturing shops located in Central Texas.

If you're nearby and would prefer hands-on help, we’re happy to come to you — just reach out and we’ll discuss the best way to support your shop.

You can reach us anytime at [email protected]. We’re happy to answer your questions, discuss your needs, or schedule a demo.

Our business hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM CST. If you contact us outside of those hours, we’ll get back to you as soon as possible on the next business day.
