We are still reconciling stock by hand

Under scoped implementation, and we discovered it after go live. The thing worth knowing is that the parts we were sold on never worked the way they were demonstrated. The gaps are the kind that create work rather than save it. It may suit a simpler business than ours.

What works

It is stable once running.

What does not

Localisation was incomplete at go live. Renewal pricing increased well beyond inflation. We are still running parallel spreadsheets.

Landed cost is finally accurate

The implementation partner was excellent, which I think matters more than the badge. Manufacturing depth well beyond its price point. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. Nothing has come up in the last year that I would call a real problem. It is not perfect, and it is the right choice for us.

What works

Manufacturing depth well beyond its price point. Branch reporting comes out without a spreadsheet in between. Stock on hand matches the physical count for the first time in years.

What does not

Configuration changes need the partner rather than an internal administrator.

Two years in and we still use half of it

It does everything we asked for and none of it was quick. Manufacturing depth well beyond its price point. Beyond that it is more ordinary than the marketing suggests. It sits squarely in the middle for us, useful but not something I would champion. Fine for our needs. Test it properly against your own requirements.

What works

One licence covering every application rather than module by module pricing. Reporting is capable once configured.

What does not

Reporting requires a specialist to build. The local statutory reporting depends entirely on the partner.

Right system, wrong implementation partner

Good system, and you must budget for the support relationship indefinitely. Manufacturing depth well beyond its price point. Beyond that it is more ordinary than the marketing suggests. It sits squarely in the middle for us, useful but not something I would champion. Good value, with some real rough edges.

What works

A free community edition for businesses that can self host. The partner network means help is available.

What does not

The local statutory reporting depends entirely on the partner. Version upgrades are projects rather than updates.

Used for less than 6 months

Traceability paid for itself in one audit

Two years post go live and I would make the same decision. Manufacturing depth well beyond its price point. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. Nothing has come up in the last year that I would call a real problem. Worth the migration effort, which is not something I say often.

What works

Manufacturing depth well beyond its price point. Multi warehouse transfers are visible and auditable. Landed cost calculations are accurate including duty and clearing.

What does not

The interface is dense and training is a real line item.

Nothing has come up in the last year that I would call a real problem. I would recommend it to a business of our size without hesitation.

One licence covering every application rather than module by module pricing. Branch reporting comes out without a spreadsheet in between. Stock on hand matches the physical count for the first time in years.

What does not

Implementation cost more than the licence, as expected but still painful.

One system across four branches

Two years post go live and I would make the same decision. Integrated ecommerce, stock and accounting in a single database. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work.

Go live was on time and under budget

We run four warehouses and two companies on this and the consolidation works. Manufacturing depth well beyond its price point. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. There are irritations, and none of them are the kind that make you look elsewhere. I would recommend it to a business of our size without hesitation.

What works

Manufacturing depth well beyond its price point. Traceability from raw material to finished goods is complete. Landed cost calculations are accurate including duty and clearing.

The partner made the difference, not the software

We run four warehouses and two companies on this and the consolidation works. A free community edition for businesses that can self host. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. There are irritations, and none of them are the kind that make you look elsewhere. If you are weighing it up, do the trial with your own data and you will see it.

Integrated ecommerce, stock and accounting in a single database. Landed cost calculations are accurate including duty and clearing. Multi warehouse transfers are visible and auditable.
