One system across four branches

We run four warehouses and two companies on this and the consolidation works. Rigorous data model that resists bad practice. 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

Fast analytics on large datasets through the HANA edition. Stock on hand matches the physical count for the first time in years. Landed cost calculations are accurate including duty and clearing.

What does not

Configuration changes need the partner rather than an internal administrator.

Used for 6 to 12 months

Landed cost is finally accurate

We run four warehouses and two companies on this and the consolidation works. Rigorous data model that resists bad practice. 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

Rigorous data model that resists bad practice. Stock on hand matches the physical count for the first time in years. Consolidation across our companies takes days rather than weeks.

What does not

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

Used for less than 6 months

The partner made the difference, not the software

The implementation partner was excellent, which I think matters more than the badge. Financial controls and audit trail that satisfy group finance. 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. If you are weighing it up, do the trial with your own data and you will see it.

Traceability paid for itself in one audit

Two years post go live and I would make the same decision. Rigorous data model that resists bad practice. 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

Financial controls and audit trail that satisfy group finance. Branch reporting comes out without a spreadsheet in between. Multi warehouse transfers are visible and auditable.

What does not

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

Works well, costs more than we planned

The software is capable. Our implementation was mediocre and we are still paying for that. Financial controls and audit trail that satisfy group finance. 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

Financial controls and audit trail that satisfy group finance. The financials module is solid.

What does not

Reporting requires a specialist to build. Remote access needs a hosted desktop.

We run four warehouses and two companies on this and the consolidation works. Fast analytics on large datasets through the HANA edition. 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. It is not perfect, and it is the right choice for us.

What works

Financial controls and audit trail that satisfy group finance. 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

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

Right system, wrong implementation partner

Good system, and you must budget for the support relationship indefinitely. Fast analytics on large datasets through the HANA edition. 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.

Two years in and we still use half of it

Good system, and you must budget for the support relationship indefinitely. Global partner network for multi country groups. 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

Rigorous data model that resists bad practice. Reporting is capable once configured.

What does not

The local statutory reporting depends entirely on the partner. Version upgrades are projects rather than updates.
