Right features, wrong price for our size

It has been fine, with a couple of persistent irritations. Works through load shedding and connection loss. 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

Multi warehouse inventory with serial, lot and bill of materials. Pricing is predictable with no surprise increases.

What does not

There is no direct submission to eFiling, so the return is captured by hand. Getting a person on the phone is difficult.

Bank feeds alone justify the subscription

Our practice put four clients on this before we moved our own business across. Multi warehouse inventory with serial, lot and bill of materials. 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

Thirty years of trained South African operators. Bank feeds match transactions accurately and the rules learn quickly. Multi currency handling is genuinely correct on unrealised gains.

What does not

Support response times slow noticeably at month end.

Does the compliance work without being asked

Our practice put four clients on this before we moved our own business across. Thirty years of trained South African operators. 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

Works through load shedding and connection loss. Month end close has dropped from six days to two. Bank feeds match transactions accurately and the rules learn quickly.

What does not

Inventory is too basic for a stock heavy business.

Competent but the support tests your patience

It has been fine, with a couple of persistent irritations. A report writer that will produce almost any layout. 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. I would shortlist it, not necessarily pick it.

What works

Multi warehouse inventory with serial, lot and bill of materials. Pricing is predictable with no surprise increases.

What does not

Inventory cannot handle multiple warehouses. Getting a person on the phone is difficult.

Reconciliation went from a week to an afternoon

I run the books for three related companies and this is the first system that has kept up. Works through load shedding and connection loss. 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

Multi warehouse inventory with serial, lot and bill of materials. VAT201 figures come out right without a manual working paper. Our accountant has their own login at no extra cost.

Finally a ledger our accountant does not complain about

Our practice put four clients on this before we moved our own business across. Thirty years of trained South African operators. 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

Multi warehouse inventory with serial, lot and bill of materials. Our accountant has their own login at no extra cost. Bank feeds match transactions accurately and the rules learn quickly.

What does not

Reporting beyond the standard pack still ends up in a spreadsheet.

VAT season stopped being a crisis

We moved across from a desktop package eighteen months ago and I would not go back. Multi warehouse inventory with serial, lot and bill of materials. 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.

Solid, boring, and that is exactly what I wanted

Our practice put four clients on this before we moved our own business across. Works through load shedding and connection loss. 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.

What works

Thirty years of trained South African operators. Multi currency handling is genuinely correct on unrealised gains. Month end close has dropped from six days to two.

What does not

The interface has not aged well.

Does the job, will not delight you

We chose this on price and mostly that decision has held up. Multi warehouse inventory with serial, lot and bill of materials. 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. I would shortlist it, not necessarily pick it.

What works

Thirty years of trained South African operators. Pricing is predictable with no surprise increases.

What does not

Inventory cannot handle multiple warehouses. Bank feeds drop and need reauthorising more often than they should.

Our bookkeeper got two days a month back

We moved across from a desktop package eighteen months ago and I would not go back. Multi warehouse inventory with serial, lot and bill of materials. 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

A report writer that will produce almost any layout. VAT201 figures come out right without a manual working paper. The audit trail has answered every query our auditors raised.
