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

Invoices out in minutes, paid faster too

There is a lot to like here and a few things that need honest work. Reports are simple but they answer the question I actually have, which is where the money went.

Pros

Fair monthly cost for what you get

Cons

Mobile app can lag when capturing slip photos

Happy customer in Richards Bay

We run our whole 6 person operation on it and the books have never been this clean. Statements go out to all customers in one run at month end. My only regret is the years I wasted on spreadsheets.

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

Perfect for owner run businesses

After 2 years on it I can say the product has only gotten better. The bank feed from Absa has been rock solid, maybe two hiccups in 2 years.

Pros

Fair monthly cost for what you get; vAT201 report maps directly to what eFiling asks for

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

Good but not perfect for our Roodepoort team

There is a lot to like here and a few things that need honest work. Support is friendly when you reach them but the queue can be long at month end. It handles our small stock list fine and warns us when items run low.

Pros

Cloud based so load shedding does not cost you data

Expected better, Stellenbosch customer

I wanted to like it but the last six months have been one frustration after another.

Pros

Support agents understand SARS questions

Cons

Support response times were unacceptable, days not hours

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

Mostly happy in Mbombela, a few gripes

Decent system that occasionally tests my patience. Reports are simple but they answer the question I actually have, which is where the money went.

Pros

Fair monthly cost for what you get

Cons

Inventory reporting is basic, detailed analysis means Excel

Doing the job for us in Somerset West

Started on the Start plan and moved up to Standard when we hired our first admin person. Quotes convert to invoices with one click and clients can pay straight from the invoice. Month end used to take three days and now the file is closed by lunch on the first. We will be staying put for the foreseeable future.

Pros

Every bookkeeper in the country knows it; quotes and invoices are genuinely fast

Gets the essentials right

The everyday stuff is great. The moment you need something unusual it gets harder. Some screens take a few seconds too long to load on slow connections.

Pros

30 day trial with no card needed; payroll journals post across automatically

Cons

The Start plan is limited to one user

Agriculture · 51–200 employees South Africa Used for Less than 6 months

Too basic once you grow past simple invoicing

We moved our books elsewhere in July and the difference is night and day. The feed duplicated a full month of transactions and untangling it took my bookkeeper a week. Logging in during month end was painfully slow for most of January.

Cons

Escalations went nowhere

Food & Beverage · 1–10 employees South Africa Used for 6–12 months

The mobile app keeps me sorted on site

Quotes go out from my phone while I am still standing at the client. The audit trail saved us in a SARS verification, every figure traced back cleanly. For the price I honestly cannot fault it.

Pros

Recurring invoices and statements run themselves

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

Our accountant in Umhlanga recommended it, good call

I am not an accountant and I still manage the full cycle myself every month.

Cons

Stock module not suited to serious warehousing

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

Good decision for a 22 person company

Our practice put all our small clients on it and the feedback has been consistently good. It does what the brochure says, which is rarer than it should be.

Pros

Bank feeds from the major SA banks are quick to set up; fair monthly cost for what you get

Cons

Report layouts cannot really be customised

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

Mixed feelings after 3 years

Solid for invoicing and VAT, less convincing once stock gets involved. Report customisation is limited, you get their layouts and that is that. The stock module covers the basics but anything detailed means exporting to Excel.

Pros

Recurring invoices and statements run themselves; cloud based so load shedding does not cost you data

Cons

Annual price increases keep arriving

Construction & Trades · 1–10 employees South Africa Used for 6–12 months

Our accountant in Kimberley recommended it, good call

I capture supplier invoices the day they arrive and cash flow finally makes sense. The eFiling numbers and the system numbers agree to the cent every single period. Once the customer list was imported the rest of setup was quick. We will be staying put for the foreseeable future.

Pros

Setup is quick even for non accountants; accountant access is included, no extra licence

Cons

Mobile app can lag when capturing slip photos

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

Our auditors were happy for once

The trial convinced me inside a week, mostly because of the bank feeds. It handles our small stock list fine and warns us when items run low. The 30 day trial costs you nothing, start there like I did.

Pros

VAT201 report maps directly to what eFiling asks for; works fine on a tablet at the counter

Cons

The Start plan is limited to one user

Serving our Sandton operation well

The trial convinced me inside a week, mostly because of the bank feeds. The Afrikaans support agent I got walked me through my first VAT return patiently. The eFiling numbers and the system numbers agree to the cent every single period.

Pros

Support agents understand SARS questions

Serving our Umhlanga operation well

We got audited last year and pulling the records took minutes, not days. Support picked up within minutes the two times I actually needed them.

Pros

Supplier bill capture is quick; slip capture on the phone works well

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

Our accountant in Bloemfontein recommended it, good call

We came off desktop Pastel and the move was far less painful than I feared. Debtors reports show me exactly who owes what before I make the awkward phone calls. Our auditors work in the file directly at year end so the handover schlep is gone.

Pros

30 day trial with no card needed

Bank feeds alone are worth the subscription

We run our whole 6 person operation on it and the books have never been this clean. Reports are simple but they answer the question I actually have, which is where the money went.

Pros

Payroll journals post across automatically

Cons

Report layouts cannot really be customised
