TCThemba CeleVerified
Warehouse Manager
South AfricaWitbankSole traderAfter two years I can say the reconciliation time saving is real and it is significant. Free accountant login on every plan. 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
VAT201 output that transfers cleanly to SARS eFiling. Bank feeds match transactions accurately and the rules learn quickly. The audit trail has answered every query our auditors raised.
What does not
Reporting beyond the standard pack still ends up in a spreadsheet.

Plant Manager
South AfricaEast London500 plus employeesAfter two years I can say the reconciliation time saving is real and it is significant. Free accountant login on every plan. 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
Free accountant login on every plan. Our accountant has their own login at no extra cost. Month end close has dropped from six days to two.
What does not
Reporting beyond the standard pack still ends up in a spreadsheet.
NMNomsa MnisiVerified
Audit Manager
South AfricaPretoriaSole traderI run the books for three related companies and this is the first system that has kept up. Direct bank feeds for Absa, FNB, Standard Bank, Nedbank and Capitec. 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
Direct bank feeds for Absa, FNB, Standard Bank, Nedbank and Capitec. Invoices go out looking professional with no design work. Month end close has dropped from six days to two.
What does not
Support response times slow noticeably at month end.

Management Accountant
South AfricaKimberley500 plus employeesWe moved across from a desktop package eighteen months ago and I would not go back. Free accountant login on every plan. 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.

Inventory is too basic for a stock heavy business.

WFWayne FourieVerified
Chief Operating Officer
South AfricaRichards Bay2 to 10 employeesWe chose this on price and mostly that decision has held up. VAT201 output that transfers cleanly to SARS eFiling. 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
Free accountant login on every plan. 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.

Logistics Coordinator
South AfricaPretoria500 plus employeesGood enough that changing again is not worth the disruption. Direct bank feeds for Absa, FNB, Standard Bank, Nedbank and Capitec. 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
VAT201 output that transfers cleanly to SARS eFiling. Invoicing is quick once the templates are set.
What does not
Bank feeds drop and need reauthorising more often than they should. The report customisation is limited.
