Financial Director
South AfricaSandton11 to 50 employeesWe run four warehouses and two companies on this and the consolidation works. Manufacturing and bill of materials without moving up a tier. 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. It is not perfect, and it is the right choice for us.
What works
Strong multi warehouse and multi branch handling. Consolidation across our companies takes days rather than weeks. Branch reporting comes out without a spreadsheet in between.
What does not
The interface is dense and training is a real line item.

ZambiaZambiaSole traderTwo years post go live and I would make the same decision. Strong multi warehouse and multi branch handling. 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.

Implementation cost more than the licence, as expected but still painful.
RNReabetswe NkunaVerified
Financial Manager
South AfricaPolokwane51 to 200 employeesIt does everything we asked for and none of it was quick. Manufacturing and bill of materials without moving up a tier. 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
Strong multi warehouse and multi branch handling. The financials module is solid.
What does not
Version upgrades are projects rather than updates. Reporting requires a specialist to build.
