Go live was on time and under budget

The implementation partner was excellent, which I think matters more than the badge. 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. If you are weighing it up, do the trial with your own data and you will see it.

What works

Local statutory reporting maintained by the vendor. Traceability from raw material to finished goods is complete. 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.

Stock and the ledger finally agree

The implementation partner was excellent, which I think matters more than the badge. The largest ERP implementation partner base in South Africa. 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

Strong multi warehouse and multi branch handling. Landed cost calculations are accurate including duty and clearing. Traceability from raw material to finished goods is complete.

What does not

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

Go live was on time and under budget

Two 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. 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

The largest ERP implementation partner base in South Africa. Stock on hand matches the physical count for the first time in years. Traceability from raw material to finished goods is complete.

What does not

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

The partner made the difference, not the software

Two years post go live and I would make the same decision. 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. Branch reporting comes out without a spreadsheet in between. Landed cost calculations are accurate including duty and clearing.

What does not

Configuration changes need the partner rather than an internal administrator.

One system across four branches

Two 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. 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

Strong multi warehouse and multi branch handling. Consolidation across our companies takes days rather than weeks. 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.

Implementation ran eleven months over

The local statutory reporting was never delivered as promised. Where it earns its keep 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. Test it hard during the trial with real volume before committing.

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.

We run four warehouses and two companies on this and the consolidation works. The largest ERP implementation partner base in South Africa. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work.
