IT Manager
South AfricaBloemfontein11 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. 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
The largest ERP implementation partner base in South Africa. Landed cost calculations are accurate including duty and clearing. Stock on hand matches the physical count for the first time in years.
What does not
The interface is dense and training is a real line item.

South AfricaKlerksdorp2 to 10 employeesThe implementation partner was excellent, which I think matters more than the badge. 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. I would recommend it to a business of our size without hesitation.

South AfricaKlerksdorpSole traderWe run four warehouses and two companies on this and the consolidation works. 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. Worth the migration effort, which is not something I say often.
What works
The largest ERP implementation partner base in South Africa. Consolidation across our companies takes days rather than weeks. Multi warehouse transfers are visible and auditable.
What does not
Configuration changes need the partner rather than an internal administrator.

HHHendrik HendricksVerified
Owner
South AfricaPietermaritzburg500 plus employeesGood system, and you must budget for the support relationship indefinitely. Strong multi warehouse and multi branch handling. 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
Manufacturing and bill of materials without moving up a tier. The financials module is solid.
What does not
Reporting requires a specialist to build. Remote access needs a hosted desktop.

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.
