Finance Manager · Cape Town Supplies Holdings

27 August 2024

Retail · 201–500 employees South Africa Used for 1–2 years

Our 260 user group runs on one truth

Great at scale, heavy at our edge of it. The interface gets refreshed in patches and shows its age between them.

Cons

Dated interface between refreshes

Technology · 51–200 employees Botswana Used for 2+ years

Exactly what our 180 person business needed

Five entities, three currencies, one consolidation button. That sentence justified the project. Approval workflows enforce the delegation of authority automatically.

Pros

SuiteScript automation depth

Manufacturing · 201–500 employees South Africa Used for 2+ years

Implementation trauma we still discuss

Implementation ran long, over budget and into acrimony.

Cons

Implementation overruns and acrimony

Mining · 201–500 employees South Africa Used for Less than 6 months

Our 220 user group runs on one truth

A deep and capable suite that never lets you forget its price. Every meaningful change involves partner hours on the invoice. The audit trail satisfies the most suspicious reviewer we have met.

Pros

Consolidation across entities and currencies

Cons

Dated interface between refreshes

Financial Manager

2 July 2026

Technology · 51–200 employees South Africa Used for Less than 6 months

Mostly happy in Ballito, a few gripes

It solved our hard problems and invoiced accordingly. Performance dips at close when everyone leans on the same reports.

Pros

Revenue recognition auditors accept

Cons

Heavy below true group scale

25 May 2026

Logistics · 201–500 employees South Africa Used for 1–2 years

The system our investors expected us to have

After 2 years the system has absorbed two acquisitions without a migration. The audit trail satisfies the most suspicious reviewer we have met. Recommended at group scale, with eyes open on cost.

Pros

Absorbs acquisitions without migrations; consolidation across entities and currencies

Cons

Partner hours on every change

Financial Manager · Fourie Supplies

10 May 2026

Retail · 11–50 employees South Africa Used for 1–2 years

Mostly happy in Pretoria, a few gripes

After 2 years the value is real and so is the fatigue. Training new finance staff takes real weeks. Intercompany eliminations post themselves at close.

Pros

Audit trail beyond reproach; role dashboards from warehouse to CFO

Cons

Localisation gaps need workarounds

Manufacturing · 51–200 employees South Africa Used for 1–2 years

Mostly happy in Johannesburg, a few gripes

After 2 years the value is real and so is the fatigue. Licensing tiers and module maths need a spreadsheet of their own.

Retail · 500+ employees South Africa Used for Less than 6 months

Doing okay for our 900 person setup

A deep and capable suite that never lets you forget its price. Training new finance staff takes real weeks. SuiteScript let our partner automate the weird bits of our business.

Operations Director · Polokwane Packaging Group

19 April 2026

Manufacturing · 11–50 employees Botswana Used for 2+ years

Our Vereeniging office gave up on it

The dependency on consultants never tapered as promised. The renewal uplift assumed budget we simply did not have. Exit planning started the day we understood the contract.

Cons

Consultant dependency never tapers

Healthcare · 51–200 employees South Africa Used for 2+ years

Our 130 user group runs on one truth

Revenue recognition on our contracts survived an IFRS audit without adjustment. Recommended at group scale, with eyes open on cost.

Pros

Consolidation across entities and currencies

Cons

Costs that demand negotiation skill

29 March 2026

Healthcare · 11–50 employees South Africa Used for 2+ years

Decent fit for a 25 person company

Powerful system, dated interface, eternal partner relationship. Some localisation gaps need partner built workarounds.

Pros

Cons

Weeks to train new staff

IT Manager · Upington Trading

27 March 2026

Retail · 51–200 employees Namibia Used for 2+ years

Let us down when it counted

The dependency on consultants never tapered as promised. A simple field change came back quoted in consulting days. Our go live slipped a quarter and the remediation bill exceeded the original quote.

Pros

Consolidation across entities and currencies

Cons

Implementation overruns and acrimony

Wholesale · 51–200 employees South Africa Used for 2+ years

Mostly happy in Mossel Bay, a few gripes

26 November 2025

Mining · 11–50 employees South Africa Used for 1–2 years

Disappointed after 2 years

The renewal arrived with a number that restarted our ERP evaluation. A simple field change came back quoted in consulting days.

Chantelle Botes

Financial Manager

24 November 2025

Mining · 201–500 employees South Africa Used for 6–12 months

Mostly happy in Klerksdorp, a few gripes

The product is excellent and the commercial experience is a sport. Licensing tiers and module maths need a spreadsheet of their own. Every meaningful change involves partner hours on the invoice.

Pros

Cons
