Deep functionality behind an interface from another decade. Documentation assumes your partner fills the gaps, and they charge to.
Cons
Needs proper server infrastructure

Performance degraded as we grew, which is backwards for an ERP. We needed a DBA on retainer just to keep the system responsive.
Pros
Granular user security
Cons
Partner dependency with nowhere to escalate. Needed a DBA just to stay responsive

Happy with it overall, our partner relationship makes the difference. The screens work but graduates raised on cloud software find them foreign. Approval workflows in procurement stopped orders nobody authorised.
Pros
Handles growing transaction volumes; sage Intelligence for exec reporting
Cons
Performance tuning needed as data grows

As a manufacturer, the bill of materials and WIP tracking fit us exactly. Serial number tracking sorted our warranty claims process completely.
Pros
Huge business partner network countrywide
Cons
Needs proper server infrastructure

It does what we need, though rarely in a modern looking way. Customisations serve us well but each upgrade tests every one of them. The screens work but graduates raised on cloud software find them foreign.
Pros
One ledger across every module; serial and lot tracking that works
Cons
Custom reports need SQL skills or partner hours

After 2 years we know its strengths and we budget for its weaknesses. You need a proper server and IT discipline, this is not plug and play. VAT and SARS alignment is native, not an afterthought like the imports.
Cons
Implementation is a genuine project

It rewards the disciplined and punishes the casual. The screens work but graduates raised on cloud software find them foreign.
Pros
Developed locally with real SARS depth; granular user security
Cons
Implementation is a genuine project

It was built here, and you feel that in how it handles VAT and SARS reporting. User security is granular down to the field level where we need it. Serial number tracking sorted our warranty claims process completely.
Pros
Serial and lot tracking that works

It was built here, and you feel that in how it handles VAT and SARS reporting. Our auditors connect their tools directly and the audit got shorter. Stock takes went from a weekend shutdown to a rolling count. Serious software that rewards a serious implementation.
Pros
Developed locally with real SARS depth

It scaled from our first 5 users to 12 without a replatform. Credit control workflows chase debtors before humans remember to.
Pros
Sage Intelligence for exec reporting; sQL Server foundation, no data black box
Cons
CRM module is thin
Tumelo Van der Merwe
Financial Controller · Benoni Brokers and Sons

A capable ERP that gives back exactly what you put into the implementation. Performance needs tuning once the database grows past a few years of history.
Pros
One ledger across every module; sage Intelligence for exec reporting
Cons
Needs proper server infrastructure

It rewards the disciplined and punishes the casual.

Consulting costs are part of ownership

It scaled from our first 5 users to 220 without a replatform. VAT and SARS alignment is native, not an afterthought like the imports. Serious software that rewards a serious implementation.
Pros
Granular user security

Deep functionality behind an interface from another decade. Licensing changes over the years have made cost planning harder. Serial number tracking sorted our warranty claims process completely.
Pros
Huge business partner network countrywide; sage Intelligence for exec reporting

Our distribution business runs 80 users across three branches on it daily.

Annelie Pillay

Our distribution business runs 35 users across three branches on it daily. Our auditors connect their tools directly and the audit got shorter.

Deep functionality behind an interface from another decade. Some modules like CRM feel like an afterthought next to the financial core.
Pros
Natural upgrade path from Pastel; pOS option feeding the same ledger
Cons
Performance tuning needed as data grows

It does what we need, though rarely in a modern looking way. Some modules like CRM feel like an afterthought next to the financial core. Approval workflows in procurement stopped orders nobody authorised.
Pros
SQL Server foundation, no data black box; modular licensing, grow as needed
