Implementation took four months with our business partner and it was worth the slog. Stock takes went from a weekend shutdown to a rolling count. It is the system our business grew up on and grew into.
Pros
Handles growing transaction volumes; natural upgrade path from Pastel

It was built here, and you feel that in how it handles VAT and SARS reporting. Every module posts to one general ledger so the numbers always agree. It is the system our business grew up on and grew into.
Pros
SQL Server foundation, no data black box; natural upgrade path from Pastel

We consolidated five companies onto one platform and month end became sane. Every module posts to one general ledger so the numbers always agree. Would we choose it again? We did, for our second company.

It scaled from our first 5 users to 8 without a replatform. The SQL foundation means our BI tool reads live data straight from the source.
Pros
Multi warehouse and multi branch support; sage Intelligence for exec reporting
Cons
Consulting costs are part of ownership

Good system, but understand you are buying a project not a product. Report writing beyond the standard set means paying your partner or learning SQL. Pricing matrices handle our customer specific discounts without side letters.
Pros
Natural upgrade path from Pastel; multi warehouse and multi branch support

Our reseller in Gqeberha knows our setup personally, that relationship is gold. Every module posts to one general ledger so the numbers always agree. Stock takes went from a weekend shutdown to a rolling count. The step up from Pastel every growing business eventually needs.

The engine is strong, the ownership costs are real. Licensing changes over the years have made cost planning harder. Every module posts to one general ledger so the numbers always agree.
Pros
Sage Intelligence for exec reporting; serial and lot tracking that works

Our reseller in Knysna knows our setup personally, that relationship is gold. Branch accounting keeps each depot honest while head office sees everything. The upgrade path from Pastel preserved our history, nothing was lost. Serious software that rewards a serious implementation.

We evaluated the international ERPs and the local pricing and support won. Serious software that rewards a serious implementation.
Pros
Multi warehouse and multi branch support; pOS option feeding the same ledger

Happy with it overall, our partner relationship makes the difference. You need a proper server and IT discipline, this is not plug and play.
Pros
Handles growing transaction volumes
Cons
Implementation is a genuine project

It scaled from our first 5 users to 180 without a replatform. Every module posts to one general ledger so the numbers always agree. Serial number tracking sorted our warranty claims process completely.
Pros
SQL Server foundation, no data black box; pOS option feeding the same ledger
Cons
Upgrades test every customisation

Deep functionality behind an interface from another decade. Licensing changes over the years have made cost planning harder. Sage Intelligence gives the exco their monthly pack straight from the ledger.
Cons
Implementation is a genuine project

The retail POS at the counter feeds the same ledger as everything else. Five years in, still the right call.
Pros
Modular licensing, grow as needed
Schalk Padayachee
Financial Manager · Acacia Digital

Very powerful, and it makes you earn that power. Some modules like CRM feel like an afterthought next to the financial core. The modular licensing meant we bought what we needed and added later.
Pros
Huge business partner network countrywide
Cons
Interface feels dated
Warren Botes
Warehouse Manager
26 December 2025
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. Licensing changes over the years have made cost planning harder.
Pros
POS option feeding the same ledger; handles growing transaction volumes
Cons
Needs proper server infrastructure

The jump to a proper SQL database ended the data corruption era for us. Approval workflows in procurement stopped orders nobody authorised.

Our partner oversold and under delivered, and Sage points back at the partner. Support tickets bounce between the partner and Sage while the branch waits.
Cons
Simple changes always need paid consulting
Priya Nel
Financial Manager

Month end got slower every quarter until we intervened at the database level. We needed a DBA on retainer just to keep the system responsive.
Cons
Needed a DBA just to stay responsive. Simple changes always need paid consulting

Deep functionality behind an interface from another decade. The partner channel means you are never more than a phone call from help.
Pros
Huge business partner network countrywide; modular licensing, grow as needed
Cons
Interface feels dated

The procurement module ended the era of surprise supplier invoices. Credit control workflows chase debtors before humans remember to. User security is granular down to the field level where we need it. It runs the business so we can run the business.
Pros
SQL Server foundation, no data black box; natural upgrade path from Pastel
