SMSunette Mashaba
Operations Director
South AfricaBloemfontein51 to 200 employeesTwo years post go live and I would make the same decision. Local statutory reporting maintained by the vendor. 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. Two years in and nobody has suggested we look at alternatives.
What works
Strong multi warehouse and multi branch handling. 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.
CNChristiaan NelVerified
Chief Operating Officer
ZambiaZambia201 to 500 employeesGood system, and you must budget for the support relationship indefinitely. 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.
Response from the vendor06 Sept 2025
We value the honest assessment. The bank feed reliability issue you mention has been addressed in a recent release, and we would encourage you to reconnect the affected accounts.

South AfricaSomerset WestSole traderWe 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. Nothing has come up in the last year that I would call a real problem. Two years in and nobody has suggested we look at alternatives.
What works
The largest ERP implementation partner base in South Africa. Traceability from raw material to finished goods is complete. Landed cost calculations are accurate including duty and clearing.
What does not

If you are weighing it up, do the trial with your own data and you will see it.

South AfricaPretoriaSole traderIt 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. It is a reasonable choice, provided you know what it does not do.

What does not
Remote access needs a hosted desktop. Version upgrades are projects rather than updates.
