Xolani Mokgadi

Owner · Crossroads Trading

15 April 2026

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

Mostly happy in Klerksdorp, a few gripes

We rate it highly and explain it often. The mobile story is thin, this is desk software. Year end runs without the consultant visit our old package required.

Pros

Landed costs on imports; free single user edition

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

Frustrating experience for our 12 person team

The desktop roots fought our remote first ambitions. The remote setup needed IT help our team lacked. Integrations we assumed existed needed custom work.

Cons

Support hours miss late crises. Accountants unfamiliar with it

Food & Beverage · 11–50 employees South Africa Used for 6–12 months

Gets us there, with some detours

The features punch up, the polish stays home. The consultant pool is smaller than the Sage universe. Data conversions from Pastel come across with history intact.

Pros

Serial and lot tracking included

Cons

Functional, dated interface

29 March 2026

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

The Pastel alternative that outgrew the label

Procurement controls stopped the buying chaos our old system permitted. User level security keeps the sales floor out of the ledger.

Pros

Native SA VAT and SARS alignment

Cons

Remote access needs arranging

Owner · Kruger Trading SA

26 March 2026

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

Doing the job for us in Rustenburg

The SQL database ended the data rebuild rituals our old package demanded. Data conversions from Pastel come across with history intact.

Pros

Proper SQL database stability; serial and lot tracking included

James Baloyi

Managing Director

25 March 2026

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

Our 22 user wholesale operation runs on it

The features punch up, the polish stays home. Fewer accountants know it, so onboarding a new bookkeeper takes explaining. Year end runs without the consultant visit our old package required.

Pros

Landed costs on imports; johannesburg support that answers

Cons

Functional, dated interface

Financial Manager

21 March 2026

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

The SQL base ended our corruption era

The features punch up, the polish stays home. The interface is functional Windows fare, no more.

Cons

Functional, dated interface

Bookkeeper · Wyk Packaging and Sons

6 March 2026

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

Doing okay for our 5 person setup

A strong engine wearing modest clothes. Some modules feel deeper than the documentation that describes them.

Pros

Johannesburg support that answers

Cons

Thin mobile story

Thabo Baloyi

Bookkeeper

3 March 2026

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

Good product your accountant may not know

Honest software that skips the beauty contest. Fewer accountants know it, so onboarding a new bookkeeper takes explaining. Reports drill from summary to source document cleanly.

Pros

Bills of materials for light assembly

11 February 2026

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

Value pick with quiet brand risk

The features punch up, the polish stays home. Fewer accountants know it, so onboarding a new bookkeeper takes explaining. Reports drill from summary to source document cleanly.

Pros

Native SA VAT and SARS alignment; serial and lot tracking included

Cons

Smaller consultant ecosystem

Remote work fought the desktop roots

Support closed at five and our crisis started at six. The remote setup needed IT help our team lacked.

Cons

Accountants unfamiliar with it

Shaun Ferreira

Managing Director · Roodepoort Steel

6 January 2026

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

Our warehouse finally agrees with the ledger

Honest software that skips the beauty contest. The consultant pool is smaller than the Sage universe. The price per user embarrasses the equivalent tier at the big names.

Pros

Warehouse depth at accounting prices

Cons

Report customisation takes patience

Grant Venter

Owner

16 December 2025

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

Good but not perfect for our Stellenbosch team

After 2 years the value is proven and the quirks familiar. Some modules feel deeper than the documentation that describes them. User level security keeps the sales floor out of the ledger.

Pros

Free single user edition; proper SQL database stability

Cons

Report customisation takes patience

Hennie Naicker

Marula Supplies

6 November 2025

Wholesale South Africa Used for 6–12 months

Good decision for a 12 person company

Bills of materials handle our light assembly without ERP ceremony. Landed cost handling spreads freight and duties properly on imports.

Pros

Johannesburg support that answers; landed costs on imports

Cons

Brand recognition lags the product

Emma Moodley

Owner

29 October 2025

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

Decent fit for a 160 person company

Honest software that skips the beauty contest. Remote access means the hosted option or remote desktop. The price per user embarrasses the equivalent tier at the big names.

Pros

Free single user edition

Cons

Remote access needs arranging

Legacy Consulting

24 October 2025

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

ERP features at accounting software prices

Our feature request made it into a release within the year, try that with the giants. Reports drill from summary to source document cleanly. Landed cost handling spreads freight and duties properly on imports. It does what the expensive names do, quietly and cheaper.

Pros

Responsive local development; landed costs on imports

Cons

Brand recognition lags the product
