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

Good but not perfect for our George team

Solid for invoicing and VAT, less convincing once stock gets involved. Report customisation is limited, you get their layouts and that is that.

Pros

Fair monthly cost for what you get

Cons

Project costing is not really there

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

Still glad we chose it, 2 years later

The price in rand, billed in rand, with support in our time zone. That matters. I photograph slips with the phone app and the capture is surprisingly accurate. The bank feed from FNB has been rock solid, maybe two hiccups in 2 years. My only regret is the years I wasted on spreadsheets.

Cons

The Start plan is limited to one user

South Africa Used for 6–12 months

Solid choice for our Mbombela business

As a Vereeniging based business we wanted something local and this delivered. Recurring invoices run themselves on the first of the month, I do not touch them. It handles our small stock list fine and warns us when items run low.

Cons

Statement templates are a bit plain

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

Happy customer in Potchefstroom

I am not an accountant and I still manage the full cycle myself every month. The eFiling numbers and the system numbers agree to the cent every single period.

Cons

Mobile app can lag when capturing slip photos

Media & Marketing · 1–10 employees South Africa Used for 2+ years

Works well once you get past setup

Decent system that occasionally tests my patience. Report customisation is limited, you get their layouts and that is that. Debtors reports show me exactly who owes what before I make the awkward phone calls.

Pros

Rand pricing with a proper local support line

Cons

Stock module not suited to serious warehousing

Travel & Tourism · 51–200 employees South Africa Used for 1–2 years

The 15 percent VAT is just handled

Solid for invoicing and VAT, less convincing once stock gets involved. I wish budgeting was built in properly instead of feeling like an afterthought. Everything syncs to the cloud so load shedding at the office just means I work from home.

Pros

Dashboard gives the cash position at a glance

Cons

Some screens feel slow on weak connections

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

Been on it 6 years and no plans to move

We invoice about 180 clients a month and the debtors list keeps itself tidy. Our auditors work in the file directly at year end so the handover schlep is gone. It just quietly does its job, which is all I ask of software.

Cons

Some screens feel slow on weak connections

South Africa Used for 6–12 months

Working well for our 25 person team

Everything I invoice, every slip I capture, it is all in one place now. It handles our small stock list fine and warns us when items run low. Solid product, solid support, fair rand pricing.

Pros

Recurring invoices and statements run themselves

Cons

No proper built in budgeting

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

Still glad we chose it, 6 years later

For a small trades business in Stellenbosch this hits exactly the right level. Payroll journals come across from Sage Payroll on their own, nothing to capture twice. If you are a small business still doing manual books, just make the jump.

Pros

Support agents understand SARS questions; slip capture on the phone works well

Media & Marketing South Africa Used for 2+ years

Good but not perfect for our Cape Town team

Decent system that occasionally tests my patience. The stock module covers the basics but anything detailed means exporting to Excel.

Pros

Every bookkeeper in the country knows it; the audit trail is clean and complete

Cons

Mobile app can lag when capturing slip photos

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

Solid choice for our Pretoria business

It was the accountant access that sold me, she works in the same file I do. Every plumber, sparky and consultant I know gets the same advice from me now.

Pros

Dashboard gives the cash position at a glance; cloud based so load shedding does not cost you data

Food & Beverage Namibia Used for 1–2 years

Great fit for a small Upington business

I am not an accountant and I still manage the full cycle myself every month. Debtors reports show me exactly who owes what before I make the awkward phone calls. Month end used to take three days and now the file is closed by lunch on the first. It does what the brochure says, which is rarer than it should be.

Pros

Handles multiple small companies from one login

Cons

Statement templates are a bit plain

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

Four stars, would be five with better reporting

Four stars because the core is excellent and the extras are not. The bank feed dropped for about a week in June and I had to import statements manually.

Pros

Supplier bill capture is quick

Cons

Annual price increases keep arriving

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

Cancelled after the latest price hike

The bank feed issue was the last straw for me. Phone support kept escalating me and nobody ever phoned back.

Cons

Escalations went nowhere

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

Good decision for a 4 person company

We invoice about 4 clients a month and the debtors list keeps itself tidy. Debtors reports show me exactly who owes what before I make the awkward phone calls. It just quietly does its job, which is all I ask of software.

Pros

Fair monthly cost for what you get

Cons

Some screens feel slow on weak connections

South Africa Used for 6–12 months

Happy customer in Ballito

The price in rand, billed in rand, with support in our time zone. That matters. Statements go out to all customers in one run at month end.

Pros

30 day trial with no card needed; supplier bill capture is quick

Cons

Mobile app can lag when capturing slip photos

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

Mostly happy in Gqeberha, a few gripes

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.

Cons

Mobile app can lag when capturing slip photos

South Africa Used for Less than 6 months

Serving our Pietermaritzburg operation well

I run three small companies and manage all of them from one login. Once the customer list was imported the rest of setup was quick. Reports are simple but they answer the question I actually have, which is where the money went.

Pros

Handles multiple small companies from one login

Cons

Stock module not suited to serious warehousing

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

Doing okay for our 40 person setup

Four stars because the core is excellent and the extras are not. Statements go out to all customers in one run at month end.

Pros

Works fine on a tablet at the counter

Cons

Annual price increases keep arriving

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

Working well for our 60 person team

The Standard Bank bank feed pulls everything in overnight so reconciliation is just confirming matches. Recurring invoices run themselves on the first of the month, I do not touch them.

Pros

Supplier bill capture is quick

Cons

Annual price increases keep arriving
