Exactly what our 130 person business needed

As a small importer in Johannesburg, the inventory tracking does exactly what our size of operation needs. Low stock alerts are set per item and they fire early enough to reorder in time. Everything the sales rep quotes on the road is visible to the office in real time. This is the plan QuickBooks should lead with in South Africa.

Pros

Budgets against actuals per division; inventory with automatic cost of sales

Cons

Class tracking capped at forty

Expected better, Klerksdorp customer

Stock accuracy problems ate the time the software was meant to save. The forty class limit forced us to flatten our reporting structure.

Cons

Inventory support knowledge is shallow. Stock counts drifted without explanation

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

A quiet workhorse for 3 years now

The upgrade from Essentials paid for itself the first month when a job we thought was profitable turned out not to be. Class and location tracking up to forty covers our branches with room to spare. The favourite plan for a reason. Recommended without reservation.

Pros

Strong reporting at this tier

Cons

Opening stock setup takes real effort

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

Doing the job for us in Ballito

After 6 years on this plan I still have not found the thing it cannot handle at our size. Inventory quantities stay honest because every sale and purchase moves the count automatically. Low stock alerts are set per item and they fire early enough to reorder in time. Value for money is the best in the whole lineup.

Pros

Project profitability visible while jobs run

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

Doing the job for us in Sandton

Purchase orders to our suppliers now come out of the system instead of WhatsApp messages. Budgets against actuals per class made our monthly management meeting actually useful.

Pros

Customer AI resurfaces quiet leads; handles agency, workshop and retail patterns

South Africa Used for 1–2 years

The plan our Kimberley agency should have started on

Great tier, though the total cost creeps up on you. The project reports are good but you cannot customise them much at this tier. Our Standard Bank feed feeds all of it, and reconciling takes minutes.

Pros

Handles agency, workshop and retail patterns

Cons

Project reports barely customisable

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

Good but not perfect for our Richards Bay team

Very capable software that asks for a proper setup effort first. The project reports are good but you cannot customise them much at this tier.

Cons

Class tracking capped at forty

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

The plan our Upington agency should have started on

The class tracking lets us report our consulting and training divisions separately from one set of books. Project reports show labour, materials and overheads against each job while it runs.

Cons

Annual price increases are dependable

South Africa Used for 1–2 years

Doing okay for our 15 person setup

It does projects brilliantly and inventory adequately.

Pros

Inventory with automatic cost of sales

Cons

Some stock workflows assume US tax

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

Happy customer in Mossel Bay

Five user seats meant the whole admin team finally works in one system. The jump in capability over Essentials is far bigger than the jump in price. Low stock alerts are set per item and they fire early enough to reorder in time.

Pros

Project profitability visible while jobs run; big capability jump for a modest price step

Cons

Project reports barely customisable

Kobus Nel

18 October 2025

Retail South Africa Used for 2+ years

Let us down when it counted

The setup dragged on and the promised payoff arrived late and partial. The forty class limit forced us to flatten our reporting structure. A feed outage in September left two weeks of stock purchases unmatched.

Pros

VAT correct through stock and projects

Cons

Stock counts drifted without explanation

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

The plan our Mbombela agency should have started on

Excellent plan overall with a couple of honest limitations. Setup with opening stock balances took a full weekend and one consultation.

Pros

Purchase orders that convert to bills; vAT correct through stock and projects

South Africa Used for 1–2 years

Decent fit for a 28 person company

Happy after 2 years, with a wishlist that never shrinks. The project reports are good but you cannot customise them much at this tier.

Pros

Project profitability visible while jobs run

Cons

Opening stock setup takes real effort

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

Solid choice for our Mbombela business

We build kitchen cabinets and for the first time I know the margin per job while the job is still open. The Customer AI surfaces leads that went quiet, and two of them became orders last quarter. VAT stays right through all of it, stock purchases, project invoicing, everything at 15%. The step up from Essentials is the best software money we spent this year.

Pros

VAT correct through stock and projects; five user seats with real permissions

Cons

No serial numbers, batches or multi warehouse

Project profitability changed how we quote

Happy after 2 years, with a wishlist that never shrinks. Setup with opening stock balances took a full weekend and one consultation. Our year end stock take matched the system within a rounding error, first time ever.

Cons

Feed hiccups mean manual stock matching

Director · Johannesburg Manufacturing

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

Serving our Durban operation well

We quote projects, track costs against them and invoice from the same screen. Project reports show labour, materials and overheads against each job while it runs.

Pros

Big capability jump for a modest price step; five user seats with real permissions

Cons

No serial numbers, batches or multi warehouse

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

Happy customer in Johannesburg

We run a 6 person agency and project profitability is the reason we can price with confidence. Purchase orders convert to bills when the stock arrives, one flow from order to payment.

Pros

Inventory with automatic cost of sales; strong reporting at this tier

Vusi Dlamini

Financial Manager

11 April 2025

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

Happy customer in Vereeniging

The class tracking lets us report our consulting and training divisions separately from one set of books. Budgets against actuals per class made our monthly management meeting actually useful. If you sell products or run jobs, start at this tier and thank yourself later.

Pros

Strong reporting at this tier; customer AI resurfaces quiet leads

Cons

No serial numbers, batches or multi warehouse

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

Budgets versus actuals, finally visible

After 5 years on this plan I still have not found the thing it cannot handle at our size. For an agency or contractor it is close to perfect.

Pros

Low stock alerts that fire in time; customer AI resurfaces quiet leads

Cons

Project reports barely customisable
