Transparency about our revenue model is central to the trust we ask readers to place in our analysis. This page explains how affiliate partnerships work on ER Planning and the safeguards that keep them separate from our editorial process.
How we earn revenue
ER Planning participates in affiliate programmes with some of the ERP vendors we review. When you click a link on our site and subsequently purchase a product or engage with a vendor, we may receive a commission from the provider. This is how we fund the site and keep our analysis freely accessible.
What this means for you
Affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content. We evaluate every ERP platform through the same structured testing process regardless of whether an affiliate programme exists. Platforms without affiliate programmes receive the same depth of coverage and the same honest assessment as those with them. Our recommendations are driven by evaluation results, not by commission structures.
How affiliate links work
Links to ERP platforms in our reviews and comparison articles may be affiliate links. These function identically to regular links from your perspective. You pay the same price whether you use our link or navigate to the vendor directly. The commission comes from the vendor, not from you.
Our commitment
We will never recommend an ERP platform solely because it offers an affiliate commission. ERP purchasing decisions carry significant operational and financial consequences, often spanning years of implementation and millions in total cost. A misleading recommendation in this space can damage an organization for a decade. We take that weight seriously, and our editorial independence reflects it.
