Happy with it overall, our partner relationship makes the difference.
Pros
Strong job costing and BOM functionality; natural upgrade path from Pastel
Cons
Interface feels dated

Very powerful, and it makes you earn that power. Upgrades between versions are mini projects with consulting hours attached.
Pros
Serial and lot tracking that works
Cons
Interface feels dated

After 2 years we know its strengths and we budget for its weaknesses.

A capable ERP that gives back exactly what you put into the implementation. Upgrades between versions are mini projects with consulting hours attached. Every module posts to one general ledger so the numbers always agree.
Pros
Serial and lot tracking that works; granular user security
Cons
Implementation is a genuine project

The retail POS at the counter feeds the same ledger as everything else. Would we choose it again? We did, for our second company.

Our reseller in Bloemfontein knows our setup personally, that relationship is gold. Sage Intelligence gives the exco their monthly pack straight from the ledger. It absorbed a 40 percent growth year without breaking stride.
Pros
Granular user security

Being able to pull anything out of SQL means no report is impossible. Local product, local support, proper depth. Recommended.
Pros
One ledger across every module; procurement approval workflows
Cons
Performance tuning needed as data grows
Brian Gumede
General Manager · Horizon Systems Services
6 September 2025
We evaluated the international ERPs and the local pricing and support won. The modular licensing meant we bought what we needed and added later. Approval workflows in procurement stopped orders nobody authorised.
Cons
Custom reports need SQL skills or partner hours

Financial Manager · Potchefstroom Auto Supplies

The procurement module ended the era of surprise supplier invoices. Sage Intelligence gives the exco their monthly pack straight from the ledger.
Pros
SQL Server foundation, no data black box

A capable ERP that gives back exactly what you put into the implementation. Licensing changes over the years have made cost planning harder.
Pros
Granular user security
Cons
Needs proper server infrastructure

Very powerful, and it makes you earn that power. You need a proper server and IT discipline, this is not plug and play. Credit control workflows chase debtors before humans remember to.
Pros
POS option feeding the same ledger; handles growing transaction volumes
Cons
Consulting costs are part of ownership
Njabulo Makhubela
Group Accountant · Makhubela Hardware and Sons

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. Every module posts to one general ledger so the numbers always agree.
Cons
Needs proper server infrastructure

Managing Director · Baobab Pharmacy Services

The product may be fine, our implementation certainly was not. A version upgrade broke our custom reports and rebuilding them cost real money.
Cons
Simple changes always need paid consulting. Upgrades broke customisations repeatedly
Robyn Olivier
Director · Knysna Auto Holdings
29 January 2025
The product may be fine, our implementation certainly was not. Simple changes need consultant hours, nothing is ever just a setting.
Pros
Multi warehouse and multi branch support
Cons
Needed a DBA just to stay responsive. Go live overruns came out of our pocket
Kate Sithole
CFO · Crossroads Distributors Services
3 October 2024
Being able to pull anything out of SQL means no report is impossible. Pricing matrices handle our customer specific discounts without side letters. Stock takes went from a weekend shutdown to a rolling count. Would we choose it again? We did, for our second company.
Pros
Huge business partner network countrywide
Cons
Interface feels dated
Anele Chauke
Chauke Medical Studio
18 September 2024
We evaluated the international ERPs and the local pricing and support won. Sage Intelligence gives the exco their monthly pack straight from the ledger. Serious software that rewards a serious implementation.
Pros
POS option feeding the same ledger; sQL Server foundation, no data black box
Cons
Interface feels dated
Kobus Ngcobo
Operations Director · Somerset West Couriers Holdings
3 July 2026
Fixed assets, job costing and CRM in the same database ended our spreadsheet farm. Serial number tracking sorted our warranty claims process completely. ERP without the international price tag.
Pros
POS option feeding the same ledger
Cons
Implementation is a genuine project
Sello Patel
CFO · Vereeniging Manufacturing SA
17 December 2025
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. The go live slipped twice and the fixes came out of our budget, not theirs.
Cons
Upgrades broke customisations repeatedly
Tracey Nel
CFO
25 November 2025
The jump to a proper SQL database ended the data corruption era for us. Pricing matrices handle our customer specific discounts without side letters. The SQL foundation means our BI tool reads live data straight from the source. The step up from Pastel every growing business eventually needs.
Pros
Natural upgrade path from Pastel
Jaco Miller
Richards Bay Foods Services

Our warehouse accuracy sits above 99 percent since the multi bin setup. VAT and SARS alignment is native, not an afterthought like the imports.
Pros
SQL Server foundation, no data black box
