Zodwa Xaba

General Manager · Acacia Textiles

15 December 2025

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

Our Randburg office gave up on it

We wanted the app store ecosystem the big names carry. We moved for ecosystem, not for features, and paid more for less depth.

Cons

Support hours miss late crises

Zaid Kruger

Financial Controller

27 September 2025

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

Multi warehouse for a fraction of the quotes

Honest software that skips the beauty contest. Remote access means the hosted option or remote desktop. Year end runs without the consultant visit our old package required.

Pros

Johannesburg support that answers

Cons

Thin mobile story

Thandeka Van Zyl

Financial Manager · Acacia Hardware SA

26 September 2025

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

Exactly what our 180 person business needed

Bills of materials handle our light assembly without ERP ceremony. User level security keeps the sales floor out of the ledger.

Pros

Responsive local development

Andre Grobler

Operations Manager · Baobab Foods Supplies

15 September 2025

Food & Beverage South Africa Used for 1–2 years

No complaints after 2 years

Procurement controls stopped the buying chaos our old system permitted. User level security keeps the sales floor out of the ledger. The best software our accountant had never heard of, and now recommends.

Pros

Free single user edition

Cons

Functional, dated interface

Petro Vermeulen

Financial Controller

24 June 2025

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

Good but not perfect for our Umhlanga team

Good software with a smaller ecosystem around it. The interface is functional Windows fare, no more. The point of sale option feeds the same database as everything else.

Anish Taylor

General Manager

15 January 2025

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

From entry books to real depth, one product

We rate it highly and explain it often. Fewer accountants know it, so onboarding a new bookkeeper takes explaining. Updates arrive steadily and break nothing we use.

Pros

Native SA VAT and SARS alignment; proper SQL database stability

Cons

Report customisation takes patience

Vinesh Arendse

Accountant · Baobab Textiles Holdings

7 January 2025

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

Solid choice for our Klerksdorp business

VAT and SARS reporting come out right because it was built here. Updates arrive steadily and break nothing we use.

Cons

Functional, dated interface

Nomsa Botes

Owner · Southern Cross Logistics Services

8 December 2024

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

Mixed feelings after 2 years

We rate it highly and explain it often. Fewer accountants know it, so onboarding a new bookkeeper takes explaining. User level security keeps the sales floor out of the ledger.

Cons

Remote access needs arranging

Keabetswe Khumalo

Managing Director · Fynbos Farming

10 October 2024

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

Doing okay for our 8 person setup

After 2 years the value is proven and the quirks familiar. The mobile story is thin, this is desk software.

Pros

Subscription includes support; warehouse depth at accounting prices

Cons

Smaller consultant ecosystem

Wynand Oosthuizen

General Manager

7 August 2024

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

Serving our Midrand operation well

Serial number tracking on our electronics stock paid for itself in the first warranty dispute. Local value that deserves a louder reputation.

Pros

Responsive local development

Cons

Thin mobile story

Kiara Mahlangu

Financial Controller · Benoni Textiles Group

7 July 2026

South Africa Used for 1–2 years

Good but not perfect for our Worcester team

Good software with a smaller ecosystem around it. Some modules feel deeper than the documentation that describes them. The consultant pool is smaller than the Sage universe.

Pros

Subscription includes support

Cons

Brand recognition lags the product

Shanice Nel

Warehouse Manager

3 July 2026

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

Expected better, Randburg customer

We wanted the app store ecosystem the big names carry. The remote setup needed IT help our team lacked. Integrations we assumed existed needed custom work.

Pros

Serial and lot tracking included

Cons

Support hours miss late crises. Integrations needed custom work

Gerhard Buthelezi

General Manager

1 July 2026

South Africa Used for 2+ years

Serial tracking without ERP money

Procurement controls stopped the buying chaos our old system permitted. Landed cost handling spreads freight and duties properly on imports.

Pros

Responsive local development

Cons

Report customisation takes patience

Megan Pretorius

Bookkeeper

27 June 2026

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

Mostly happy in Roodepoort, a few gripes

Good software with a smaller ecosystem around it. Fewer accountants know it, so onboarding a new bookkeeper takes explaining. The consultant pool is smaller than the Sage universe.

Lwazi Grobler

Warehouse Manager · Zambezi Timber

19 June 2026

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

Mixed feelings after 5 years

Good software with a smaller ecosystem around it. The consultant pool is smaller than the Sage universe. Multi warehouse stock stays accurate because the transactions force discipline.

Cons

Smaller consultant ecosystem

Bradley Swanepoel

Director · Drakensberg Farming Solutions

20 May 2026

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

Decent fit for a 22 person company

The features punch up, the polish stays home. Fewer accountants know it, so onboarding a new bookkeeper takes explaining. Remote access means the hosted option or remote desktop.

Cons

Functional, dated interface

Refilwe Chetty

Managing Director · Chetty Freight and Sons

5 May 2026

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

Exactly what our 22 person business needed

The hosted option moved us off our dying server without drama. The point of sale option feeds the same database as everything else. Reports drill from summary to source document cleanly. Recommended, especially past the entry level tier.

Pros

Warehouse depth at accounting prices
