repleno and sevdesk compared
Dedicated inventory management or accounting with a stock module — which fits your warehouse better?
Choose repleno when the warehouse is your core topic: scan on mobile, run multiple stock locations, reorder automatically at the reorder point and trace every stock movement.
Choose sevdesk when invoicing and accounting come first and simple stock tracking is enough, especially if you already use sevdesk.
Bottom line
sevdesk is accounting with an inventory add-on, repleno is dedicated inventory management. Different core job, not either-or: many run sevdesk for accounting and repleno for the warehouse.

Is sevdesk a full inventory management system?
sevdesk is first and foremost an accounting and invoicing software. Inventory management is an add-on (Inventur/Warenwirtschaft, €19.90 per month) docked onto the accounting: you create items with stock, purchase and sale prices, and when you write a delivery note or invoice, sevdesk adjusts the stock automatically. You book goods receipts manually, store suppliers on the item, and print lists for the stocktake. That covers simple, document-driven stock tracking. What is missing are the tools of dedicated inventory management: mobile scanning at the shelf, multiple stock locations and a reorder point that triggers on its own. If you already use sevdesk for accounting and your warehouse is manageable, the add-on is worth a try. If you are specifically looking for inventory management, you will hit its limits quickly.
What does repleno cover in inventory management that sevdesk does not offer?
repleno is built as inventory management and picks up where sevdesk's add-on stops. You capture stock on mobile via barcode or QR scan right at the shelf, at goods receipt as well as at withdrawal. You run multiple stock locations, and every stock movement stays GoBD-compliant and traceable for eight years, not just the document-related outflows. At the reorder point you decide per item what happens: only warn, submit an order for approval, or trigger it automatically with the supplier. sevdesk reminds you here with a task to reorder, and in the end you give the nudge yourself. On top of that, repleno spots fast and slow movers per item and derives suggestions for minimum and reorder levels from them.

Can I keep sevdesk for accounting and use repleno for the warehouse?
Yes, and for many businesses that is the obvious split. repleno is not accounting software and does not aim to replace sevdesk there: invoicing, accounting, DATEV export and advance VAT returns stay with sevdesk. repleno takes over the warehouse side that the add-on only touches on: scanning, multiple stock locations, stock history and the automatic reorder point. So you keep using sevdesk for everything around invoices and taxes and put repleno alongside it for day-to-day warehouse work. You bring items and stock into repleno via CSV or Excel import, the same file formats sevdesk exports.
What does repleno cost compared to sevdesk?
sevdesk charges by plan plus add-ons. The invoicing-only software starts at €8.90 per month (on a 24-month term), and the accounting plan runs between €19.90 and €25.90 per month depending on the term. Inventory management comes on top as the Inventur/Warenwirtschaft add-on for €19.90 per month, and every additional user costs €5.90 per month extra. As your team grows, the bill grows with every login. repleno charges by item count in euros, all users included, without a separate login fee. It is best to check the current prices directly with each provider.
