Chantal Venter

General Manager · Karoo Distributors Works

28 October 2025

Wholesale · 51–200 employees South Africa Used for 1–2 years

Good but not perfect for our Durban team

It rewards the disciplined and punishes the casual. Some modules like CRM feel like an afterthought next to the financial core. Pricing matrices handle our customer specific discounts without side letters.

Pros

Sage Intelligence for exec reporting

General Manager

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

Manufacturing module paid for itself in a year

Fixed assets, job costing and CRM in the same database ended our spreadsheet farm. Our auditors connect their tools directly and the audit got shorter. Serious software that rewards a serious implementation.

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

Good decision for a 30 person company

As a manufacturer, the bill of materials and WIP tracking fit us exactly. User security is granular down to the field level where we need it.

Cons

Performance tuning needed as data grows

Francois Du Plessis

General Manager

4 April 2025

Technology · 11–50 employees Zimbabwe Used for 2+ years

Procurement approvals stopped the maverick buying

The engine is strong, the ownership costs are real. Licensing changes over the years have made cost planning harder. Pricing matrices handle our customer specific discounts without side letters.

Pros

Modular licensing, grow as needed

Cons

Implementation is a genuine project

Zanele Baloyi

Systems Administrator · Baloyi Catering Works

26 February 2025

Food & Beverage · 51–200 employees South Africa Used for 2+ years

Runs our 70 user operation end to end

A capable ERP that gives back exactly what you put into the implementation. It absorbed a 40 percent growth year without breaking stride.

Cons

Consulting costs are part of ownership

Ballito Farming Works

23 January 2025

Agriculture · 201–500 employees South Africa Used for 1–2 years

Runs our 300 user operation end to end

The jump to a proper SQL database ended the data corruption era for us. Credit control workflows chase debtors before humans remember to. It is the system our business grew up on and grew into.

Pros

One ledger across every module; granular user security

Sanele Gumede

CFO · Potchefstroom Textiles

17 January 2025

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

Strong core, some modules feel thin

A capable ERP that gives back exactly what you put into the implementation. Report writing beyond the standard set means paying your partner or learning SQL.

Pros

Granular user security

Cons

Consulting costs are part of ownership

Leandra Booysen

Financial Director

25 December 2024

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

Good product, budget for the consultants

Good system, but understand you are buying a project not a product. Some modules like CRM feel like an afterthought next to the financial core. Stock takes went from a weekend shutdown to a rolling count.

Pros

SQL Server foundation, no data black box

Cons

Consulting costs are part of ownership

Serving our Mbombela operation well

The jump to a proper SQL database ended the data corruption era for us. Branch accounting keeps each depot honest while head office sees everything.

Managing Director · Drakensberg Foods

18 November 2024

Food & Beverage · 51–200 employees South Africa Used for 2+ years

Exactly what our 160 person business needed

We evaluated the international ERPs and the local pricing and support won. Would we choose it again? We did, for our second company.

Pros

Modular licensing, grow as needed

Feroza Patel

Financial Director

17 November 2024

South Africa Used for 2+ years

Grew from 5 users to 95 without changing systems

After 5 years we know its strengths and we budget for its weaknesses. Stock takes went from a weekend shutdown to a rolling count.

Pros

SQL Server foundation, no data black box; pOS option feeding the same ledger

Cons

Interface feels dated

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

Serving our Rustenburg operation well

Our warehouse accuracy sits above 99 percent since the multi bin setup. User security is granular down to the field level where we need it. Pick a good business partner and the product will not let you down.

Cons

Implementation is a genuine project

Ridwaan Pretorius

Financial Controller

8 July 2026

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

Good but not perfect for our Kimberley team

Deep functionality behind an interface from another decade. Report writing beyond the standard set means paying your partner or learning SQL.

Wholesale · 51–200 employees South Africa Used for 1–2 years

Fine for now, watching the roadmap

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.

Pros

Strong job costing and BOM functionality

Cons

CRM module is thin

Warehouse Manager

26 June 2026

Agriculture · 500+ employees South Africa Used for 2+ years

Good decision for a 520 person company

The procurement module ended the era of surprise supplier invoices. VAT and SARS alignment is native, not an afterthought like the imports. Sage Intelligence gives the exco their monthly pack straight from the ledger. It runs the business so we can run the business.

IT Manager

20 June 2026

Manufacturing · 201–500 employees South Africa Used for 2+ years

Good but not perfect for our Roodepoort team

Good system, but understand you are buying a project not a product. Customisations serve us well but each upgrade tests every one of them.

Pros

Strong job costing and BOM functionality

Cons

Custom reports need SQL skills or partner hours

Estelle Lombard

Supply Chain Manager

19 June 2026

Manufacturing · 201–500 employees Namibia Used for Less than 6 months

Solid choice for our Roodepoort business

Our distribution business runs 300 users across three branches on it daily. Every module posts to one general ledger so the numbers always agree. It absorbed a 40 percent growth year without breaking stride.

Cons

Performance tuning needed as data grows
