Light vs weclapp

weclapp is a broad cloud ERP for German-speaking SMEs: CRM, order processing, warehouse, projects and accounting in one system, with DATEV, ELSTER and e-invoicing built in. Accounting is one module among many, and in weclapp legally separate companies need separate tenants. Light is the agentic ERP that runs every entity in one agentic ledger, with cards, AP/AR and continuous consolidation in the same system, and agents doing the work.
