Spanish term

sistema pequeño

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering IT (Information Technology) Information Systems
Hi, this may look silly but I got stuck here. It's from an argentine text describing software for inventory control. Target: US.
I've heard small software/system a lot but I'm not quite sure whether it is correct or if there is another adjective that would fit better in this context.

Thank you.

I think "low-end" is perfect simply meaning more basic/less complex which is what you are trying to convey. Lots of refs too.
