The Business Owner’s Guide to Choosing an ERP in Cambodia

May 05, 2025

Introduction:

If you’re running a business in Cambodia, you already know that managing stock, staff, sales, and taxes can get messy fast—especially when you’re relying on Excel files, WhatsApp approvals, and paper-based reports.

That’s why more Cambodian businesses are turning to ERP systems: software platforms that help centralize and streamline operations.

But not all ERP software is created equal—especially in the Cambodian context. This guide will help you make the right choice based on your industry, needs, and long-term vision.

What is ERP Software (in Simple Terms)?

ERP stands for Enterprise Resource Planning. It's a system that brings together all your essential operations: inventory, accounting, payroll, approvals, customer management, and even tax reporting.

Instead of managing five different tools, an ERP like MAQSU gives you one dashboard to control your entire business—from your warehouse to your wallet.

Key Factors to Consider When Choosing ERP in Cambodia

1. Support for Cambodian Tax Laws

If your ERP system doesn’t understand TOI, VAT, or CIFRS, it’s not going to save you time—it’ll give you more work.

MAQSU ERP is purpose-built to support Cambodian tax filing. It automatically prepares:

  • Monthly VAT declarations
     
  • Annual TOI reports
     
  • IFRS/CIFRS-compliant financial statements
     
  • Khmer/English invoices and reporting templates

That means less back-and-forth with your accountant—and peace of mind during tax season.

2. Industry-Specific Functionality

A logistics business doesn’t need the same features as a restaurant, and a garment factory has very different needs from a real estate firm.

MAQSU supports:

  • Barcode-based stock tracking for factories & retail
     
  • Production costing for manufacturing
     
  • Supplier & customer management for wholesale
     
  • Multi-branch support for restaurant chains
     
  • Customizable approval workflows for service companies

In short, whatever you make, sell, or move—MAQSU has the tools to manage it.

3. Cloud Access & Multi-Device Flexibility

With remote work, mobile approvals, and multiple locations becoming the norm, you need a system that moves with you.

MAQSU is cloud-based and mobile-ready—so you can check reports, approve purchase requests, or monitor cash flow on the go. It works seamlessly on PC, laptop, tablet, or phone.

4. Easy for Your Team to Use

ERP systems don’t have to be intimidating. MAQSU’s user-friendly interface (available in Khmer and English) means your staff can pick it up quickly—with no need for technical training.

Plus, MAQSU offers onboarding and support in Khmer, ensuring your entire team can adapt with confidence.

5. Reliable Local Support

One of the biggest frustrations with foreign ERP providers? No local help when you need it.

MAQSU’s Khmer-speaking support team is based in Cambodia and ready to help with:

  • Setup & onboarding
     
  • Troubleshooting
     
  • Custom reports & template updates
     
  • Ongoing system upgrades based on local regulations
