Karabo Coetzee

Operations Manager

12 November 2024

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

Serving our Polokwane operation well

After 2 years the system has scaled through our growth without a migration. Year end runs without the consultant visit our old package required. Reports drill from summary to source document cleanly.

Cons

Remote access needs arranging

Managing Director · Marula Farming Holdings

26 March 2026

Agriculture · 11–50 employees South Africa Used for Less than 6 months

We needed the ecosystem the big names have

The desktop roots fought our remote first ambitions. Integrations we assumed existed needed custom work.

Cons

Accountants unfamiliar with it

Simphiwe Du Toit

Financial Controller · Centurion Packaging Works

24 April 2025

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

Doing okay for our 70 person setup

The features punch up, the polish stays home. Remote access means the hosted option or remote desktop. Updates arrive steadily and break nothing we use.

Pros

Native SA VAT and SARS alignment

Cons

Report customisation takes patience

South Africa Used for Less than 6 months

Good but not perfect for our Mossel Bay team

Honest software that skips the beauty contest. Updates arrive steadily and break nothing we use.

Cons

Brand recognition lags the product

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

8 years in and still happy

The SQL database ended the data rebuild rituals our old package demanded. Multi warehouse stock stays accurate because the transactions force discipline.

Director · Drakensberg Timber SA

5 July 2025

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

Development that listens to SA businesses

We rate it highly and explain it often. The interface is functional Windows fare, no more.

Cons

Functional, dated interface

Gavin Pillay

General Manager

4 March 2025

Agriculture · 11–50 employees South Africa Used for Less than 6 months

Working well for our 18 person team

Our 18 user operation in Mbombela runs sales, stores and books in it daily. Data conversions from Pastel come across with history intact. User level security keeps the sales floor out of the ledger.

Pros

Responsive local development

Cons

Remote access needs arranging

Nomsa Le Roux

Bookkeeper

11 February 2025

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

Expected better, Vereeniging customer

Our new auditor's blank look at the name cost us explaining time. Finding a consultant in a smaller town took real searching.

Cons

Integrations needed custom work

Fatima Khan

19 June 2025

Retail · 1–10 employees South Africa Used for Less than 6 months

Frustrating experience for our 5 person team

Support closed at five and our crisis started at six. Integrations we assumed existed needed custom work.

Pros

Proper SQL database stability

Cons

Accountants unfamiliar with it

Wayne Nkosi

7 June 2025

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

Our 60 user wholesale operation runs on it

The features punch up, the polish stays home. The consultant pool is smaller than the Sage universe.

Pros

Landed costs on imports; free single user edition

Cons

Brand recognition lags the product

Petro Nel

Financial Manager · Nel Foods Supplies

6 May 2025

Food & Beverage · 11–50 employees South Africa Used for 1–2 years

The interface stayed in another decade

The desktop roots fought our remote first ambitions. The remote setup needed IT help our team lacked.

Cons

Accountants unfamiliar with it. Integrations needed custom work

Gavin Khan

Bookkeeper · Acacia Agri Services

18 October 2024

South Africa Used for Less than 6 months

Exactly what our 28 person business needed

Support is a Johannesburg number and the person answering knows the product cold. The price per user embarrasses the equivalent tier at the big names. Our warehouse and our ledger finally tell one story.

Pros

Johannesburg support that answers

Cons

Thin mobile story

Ashwin Ndlovu

Accountant · Golden City Logistics Services

16 October 2025

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

Our 15 user wholesale operation runs on it

The SQL database ended the data rebuild rituals our old package demanded. User level security keeps the sales floor out of the ledger. Stock heavy SA businesses should evaluate it before paying ERP money.

Pros

Serial and lot tracking included

Kate September

Operations Manager

20 September 2025

Food & Beverage · 11–50 employees South Africa Used for Less than 6 months

Exactly what our 14 person business needed

The Enterprise subscription includes support and updates, no surprise invoices. Updates arrive steadily and break nothing we use.

Pros

Native SA VAT and SARS alignment; bills of materials for light assembly

Cons

Report customisation takes patience

Elmarie Maseko

Managing Director · Marula Catering

11 January 2025

South Africa Used for 1–2 years

Decent fit for a 6 person company

After 2 years the value is proven and the quirks familiar. Some modules feel deeper than the documentation that describes them. The mobile story is thin, this is desk software.

Cons

Remote access needs arranging

Marlene Williams

Umhlanga Freight Group

31 December 2024

Logistics · 1–10 employees South Africa Used for 6–12 months

Serving our Gqeberha operation well

VAT and SARS reporting come out right because it was built here. Year end runs without the consultant visit our old package required. Multi warehouse stock stays accurate because the transactions force discipline. The best software our accountant had never heard of, and now recommends.

Cons

Thin mobile story

Tshepo Moodley

Financial Manager

30 August 2025

Agriculture South Africa Used for Less than 6 months

Happy customer in Mossel Bay

VAT and SARS reporting come out right because it was built here. The point of sale option feeds the same database as everything else.

Pros

Warehouse depth at accounting prices; serial and lot tracking included

Cons

Remote access needs arranging

6 July 2025

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

Working well for our 6 person team

We moved off Pastel when stock got serious and Palladium gave us warehouse depth at half the quoted alternatives. Updates arrive steadily and break nothing we use.

Good decision for a 45 person company

We moved off Pastel when stock got serious and Palladium gave us warehouse depth at half the quoted alternatives. The best software our accountant had never heard of, and now recommends.

Cons

Brand recognition lags the product
