Frequently Asked Questions

How difficult is it to migrate from tools like QuickBooks, Salesforce, or Odoo?

Asterisk provides direct CSV and Excel import templates for your Chart of Accounts, customer contacts, vendor lists, inventory catalog SKUs, and open balances. Most small-to-midsize operations complete their full migration within 48 hours without business interruption.

Is there vendor lock-in? Can we export our raw database?

You retain 100% ownership of your business data. You can export complete relational SQL or JSON snapshots of your general ledger, sales records, BOM tables, and customer history anytime with one click.

What happens to Point of Sale (POS) and Field Service if our internet drops?

The Point of Sale (POS) and mobile Field Service modules feature local offline caching. Cashiers and field technicians can continue scanning items, taking orders, and capturing customer signatures offline. All transactions queue locally and sync with zero data loss once reconnected.

How does Asterisk differ from modular ERP app stores?

Modular ERPs rely on third-party plugin marketplaces, requiring fragile webhook connectors that drift out of sync and incur surprise per-app fees. Asterisk is built on a single unified core database where inventory, POS, quotes, factory work orders, and accounting ledger update instantaneously with zero connector glue.

Why do you build custom websites instead of providing drag-and-drop templates?

Generic template builders produce bloated code, slow loading times, and broken inventory syncs. Our studio engineers bespoke, sub-second eCommerce websites wired directly into your live Asterisk inventory and POS registers.

Can we add or remove users at any time? How is billing adjusted?

Yes. Your plan is $39/month for your first 10 seats. Every additional user is $3/seat/month, billed at the same time. You can scale your seat count up or down anytime, and adjustments are prorated to the day. There are no contracts, no annual lock-ins, and no upgrade tiers to navigate.

How does the Private Beta and early access waitlist work?

We onboard businesses in controlled cohorts rather than an unguided self-serve firehose. This ensures every founding team receives direct engineering support, customized workflow setup, and white-glove data migration from their legacy stack. Requesting early access reserves your spot in the next cohort and locks in your $39/month launch rate.
