Practitioner take
Pick the one whose data model matches how work flows through your shop: if every order is a quoted, routed job, favor job-shop systems (job costing, routings, travelers). If you build repeat products from stock, favor MRP/inventory-centric tools. Run both demos with one real, messy job from last month.
