Siyabonga Cele

Bookkeeper

16 December 2024

Retail · 1–10 employees South Africa Used for 1–2 years

No complaints after 2 years

Load shedding hits and our invoicing keeps running off the local database. VAT returns align with SARS expectations out of the box. For SA businesses that value substance, look here first.

Food & Beverage · 11–50 employees Namibia Used for 2+ years

Solid and local, quietly old fashioned

Solid choice, provided the desktop reality suits you. The ecosystem of consultants is small outside KwaZulu Natal. Backups are simple and restores actually work when tested.

Pros

Durban support that knows your file

Wholesale · 11–50 employees South Africa Used for 6–12 months

Mostly happy in Paarl, a few gripes

Remote access needs arranging

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

A quiet workhorse for 5 years now

The branch consolidation switch unified our two stores without a project. Processing speed on the local database beats every browser system we tested. Backups are simple and restores actually work when tested. For SA businesses that value substance, look here first.

Pros

No migration upgrade path

Cons

No real mobile story

Accountant · George Logistics Solutions

10 May 2025

Logistics · 51–200 employees South Africa Used for 6–12 months

Our accountant in Upington recommended it, good call

The quote for our whole setup undercut the big names by half. Job costing shows margins per job to the cent. It has earned its decades and our loyalty.

Pros

Native SA VAT and SARS fit

23 February 2025

Construction · 1–10 employees South Africa Used for 2+ years

Our Ballito office gave up on it

Loyalty kept us two years past the right time to move. Remote desktop licensing added cost the comparison never showed.

Pros

Runs on modest hardware

Cons

Desktop base fights remote work

Retail · 1–10 employees South Africa Used for 2+ years

Doing the job for us in Polokwane

After 7 years the system has never once lost us data. The switch model means you never pay for features you do not run. VAT returns align with SARS expectations out of the box. Our books run on Durban software and we like it that way.

Pros

Works through load shedding

3 March 2026

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

Good decision for a 20 person company

Point of sale at the counter feeds the ledger in the back office directly. Backups are simple and restores actually work when tested. Forty years of surviving this market says everything.

Pros
