Key differences

Three Differences That
Matter Most

01

Mid-market fit vs. large-group scale

DOKKA Close
DOKKA Close is built for lean finance teams, with agents doing the preparation so a small team can close multiple entities without adding headcount.

Aico
Aico serves large European groups such as AkzoNobel, Signify and SKF, with pricing tiers that start at up to 30 legal entities.
02

Mid-market ERPs vs. enterprise ERPs

DOKKA Close
DOKKA works natively with NetSuite, SAP Business One, Acumatica, Priority and QuickBooks, using transaction-level data for every entity.

Aico
Aico's deepest integration is certified SAP S/4HANA, with live integrations for Oracle and Dynamics 365. If you run those ERPs, that is a real strength.
03

Consolidation and AP included vs. a product family

DOKKA Close
DOKKA Close includes consolidation, and DOKKA AP runs on the same platform, so coded invoice data flows into accruals and reconciliations.

Aico
Within Pacera, consolidation comes from AARO and FP&A from Mercur, so you can build a broader CFO suite across several products.
