The SQL database ended the data rebuild rituals our old package demanded. The point of sale option feeds the same database as everything else. It does what the expensive names do, quietly and cheaper.
Pros
Proper SQL database stability
Cons
Remote access needs arranging

VAT and SARS reporting come out right because it was built here. The price per user embarrasses the equivalent tier at the big names. Updates arrive steadily and break nothing we use.
Pros
Free single user edition

The free Individual edition ran my side business until it stopped being a side business. The point of sale option feeds the same database as everything else. Data conversions from Pastel come across with history intact. Local value that deserves a louder reputation.
Pros
Free single user edition
Cons
Remote access needs arranging

Honest software that skips the beauty contest. Some modules feel deeper than the documentation that describes them. Year end runs without the consultant visit our old package required.
Cons
Functional, dated interface

A strong engine wearing modest clothes. The consultant pool is smaller than the Sage universe.
Cons
Report customisation takes patience

Procurement controls stopped the buying chaos our old system permitted. Reports drill from summary to source document cleanly. Stock heavy SA businesses should evaluate it before paying ERP money.
Pros
Bills of materials for light assembly
Cons
Remote access needs arranging

After 10 years the value is proven and the quirks familiar. Fewer accountants know it, so onboarding a new bookkeeper takes explaining.
Cons
Brand recognition lags the product

The free Individual edition ran my side business until it stopped being a side business.
Pros

Good software with a smaller ecosystem around it. Some modules feel deeper than the documentation that describes them. Data conversions from Pastel come across with history intact.
Pros
Proper SQL database stability
Cons
Functional, dated interface

The free Individual edition ran my side business until it stopped being a side business. The price per user embarrasses the equivalent tier at the big names.
Pros

Cons
Smaller consultant ecosystem

The desktop roots fought our remote first ambitions. We moved for ecosystem, not for features, and paid more for less depth. The remote setup needed IT help our team lacked.
Cons
Support hours miss late crises

The features punch up, the polish stays home. Reports drill from summary to source document cleanly.
Pros
Proper SQL database stability; native SA VAT and SARS alignment
Cons
Remote access needs arranging

Our 20 user operation in Umhlanga runs sales, stores and books in it daily.
Pros

Cons
Brand recognition lags the product

We moved off Pastel when stock got serious and Palladium gave us warehouse depth at half the quoted alternatives. Data conversions from Pastel come across with history intact. The best software our accountant had never heard of, and now recommends.
Pros
Native SA VAT and SARS alignment
Cons
Remote access needs arranging

Serial number tracking on our electronics stock paid for itself in the first warranty dispute. Year end runs without the consultant visit our old package required.
Pros
Proper SQL database stability; free single user edition
Cons
Report customisation takes patience

Honest software that skips the beauty contest. The consultant pool is smaller than the Sage universe. Data conversions from Pastel come across with history intact.

Cons
Report customisation takes patience

The Enterprise subscription includes support and updates, no surprise invoices. User level security keeps the sales floor out of the ledger.
Cons
Functional, dated interface

After 5 years the value is proven and the quirks familiar. Fewer accountants know it, so onboarding a new bookkeeper takes explaining. Remote access means the hosted option or remote desktop.
Pros
Native SA VAT and SARS alignment; subscription includes support
Cons
Functional, dated interface
Andile Buthelezi

A strong engine wearing modest clothes. The mobile story is thin, this is desk software.
Pros
Johannesburg support that answers; warehouse depth at accounting prices
Cons
Remote access needs arranging

Our feature request made it into a release within the year, try that with the giants. Updates arrive steadily and break nothing we use. The best software our accountant had never heard of, and now recommends.
