Stock and ERP Software for Small UK Businesses: 2026 Options Compared
Sage 50, Xero, Unleashed, Brightpearl and OpesFlux compared for small UK wholesalers and shops: what each does, what it costs, and who it suits.
Updated 24/10/2026

Why we built OpesFlux, who it's for, what it does today and what it doesn't. A plain introduction from the team that builds it.
Most small businesses run on a till, a stock spreadsheet, an accounting package and a payroll service that don't talk to each other. Someone spends hours every week copying sales into the accounts and working out why the stock count doesn't match the till.
We built OpesFlux so that all of that is one system. A sale at the till takes stock off and posts to the accounts at the same moment. Goods received against a purchase order go straight into stock. Staff hours from the rota feed payroll.
OpesFlux is a product of Devs and Visuals, based in Kington, England. It is launching first in the UK and is already used by businesses in Pakistan and Japan.
Everything shares one database and one login.
We'd rather you hear this from us. OpesFlux does not submit VAT returns or RTI to HMRC (your accountant or bridging software does that), and it has no loyalty schemes, gift cards, table service or batch tracking.
OpesFlux suits UK wholesalers and distributors, cash and carry businesses, off-licences, café groups and shops with more than one site, typically with 2 to 50 staff.
Starter is £19 a month, Growth £49 and Enterprise £99, all published on our pricing page. After a demo you get a free 7-day trial, with no credit card needed.
