27 November 2024

Wholesale · 51–200 employees South Africa Used for Less than 6 months

One version of the truth across branches

Typical the Eastern Cape business, tight margins, no time to waste. Every branch works in one system now, management sees a single set of numbers. Saved us real time every month.

Pros

Multi company and multi currency; bills of material and work orders; single view across branches.

Cons

Powerful not pretty interface.
