Christo Zulu

Financial Director · Baobab Distributors Works

11 July 2024

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

Good but not perfect for our Pretoria team

The capability is real and so is the learning curve. Customisations serve us well and complicate every upgrade. Quality holds stop suspect batches from shipping automatically.

Pros

Job costing that tells the truth

Cons

Office side modules feel secondary

Thandeka Govender

Warehouse Manager

31 January 2026

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

Mixed feelings after 5 years

A deep manufacturing system that dresses for the factory, not the boardroom. The interface is industrial, younger staff take time to warm to it.

Pros

Recall grade lot and serial traceability; sQL base open to Power BI

Supply Chain Manager · Paarl Steel Studio

4 November 2025

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

Partner dependence with local prices

We were too light a user for a system this serious. The upgrade broke customisations that took a quarter to rebuild.

Pros

Manufacturing depth from MRP to dispatch

Cons

Upgrade broke customisations for a quarter

Tracey Nel

Financial Director · Milkwood Agri Works

20 October 2025

Agriculture · 11–50 employees South Africa Used for 6–12 months

Doing okay for our 14 person setup

Strong where it matters, dated where it shows. Customisations serve us well and complicate every upgrade.

Pros

Import costing for weak rand realities; local support in SA time

Cons

Customisations complicate upgrades

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

Doing okay for our 22 person setup

Mobile experience is functional only

Thulani Cloete

Factory Manager

17 November 2025

Manufacturing · 51–200 employees Namibia Used for 2+ years

Good decision for a 60 person company

The upgrade from our legacy system preserved a decade of history. Quality holds stop suspect batches from shipping automatically. For SA manufacturers this is the serious local answer.

Pros

Shop floor capture kills paper; import costing for weak rand realities

Cons

Office side modules feel secondary

Elmarie Oosthuizen

Plant Manager

14 June 2025

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

Too industrial for our light needs

Our upgrade year consumed budget and goodwill in equal measure. Every request routed through the partner at partner rates.

Cons

Upgrade broke customisations for a quarter. Too heavy for light users

Katlego Taylor

Plant Manager

9 March 2025

Manufacturing · 51–200 employees South Africa Used for 2+ years

Doing okay for our 70 person setup

It rewards investment and punishes casual adoption. The interface is industrial, younger staff take time to warm to it. Office side functions like CRM feel like guests in a factory system.

Pros

Manufacturing depth from MRP to dispatch

Cons

Customisations complicate upgrades

Emma Botes

Financial Manager · Ballito Freight Solutions

1 July 2026

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

Exactly what our 75 person business needed

Bill of materials revisions finally match what engineering actually builds. Warehouse management keeps our two DCs honest to the unit. It speaks factory, which imported ERPs mostly do not.

Khanyisile Cele

Financial Manager · Atlas Foods Holdings

30 June 2026

Food & Beverage · 51–200 employees South Africa Used for 6–12 months

Decent fit for a 160 person company

It rewards investment and punishes casual adoption. Version upgrades are proper projects with partner hours attached. Import costing spreads duties and freight properly across landed stock.

Pros

SQL base open to Power BI; training academy for staff pipeline

Cons

Customisations complicate upgrades

Chantelle Steyn

Supply Chain Manager

18 April 2026

Logistics South Africa Used for 1–2 years

Doing the job for us in Sandton

As a food producer, the batch records satisfied the auditors without theatre. Serial and lot tracking runs from receipt to dispatch without gaps. The proudly South African label is earned in the product.

Pros

Recall grade lot and serial traceability

Cons

Customisations complicate upgrades

Factory Manager · Hadebe Distributors

5 March 2026

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

As a food producer, the batch records satisfied the auditors without theatre. Power BI reads the SQL base directly for the analytics crowd.

Xolani Miller

Production Manager · Roodepoort Attorneys Solutions

18 August 2025

South Africa Used for 1–2 years

Disappointed after 2 years

Our upgrade year consumed budget and goodwill in equal measure. Our graduates compared it unkindly to everything they knew.

Cons

Partner rates on every request

Elna Taylor

Financial Manager · Horizon Packaging

12 July 2025

South Africa Used for 6–12 months

Gets us there, with some detours

A deep manufacturing system that dresses for the factory, not the boardroom. The mobile story is functional rather than modern. Warehouse management keeps our two DCs honest to the unit.

Pros

Training academy for staff pipeline

Precious Buthelezi

Factory Manager

23 May 2025

South Africa Used for 6–12 months

Expected better, Stellenbosch customer

The partner relationship costs like a department. Simple office workflows needed floor grade configuration effort.

Cons

Partner rates on every request

Warehouse Manager · Perumal Timber Services

10 February 2025

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

Working well for our 45 person team

We are 45 users from stores to finance and the system carries all of it. Power BI reads the SQL base directly for the analytics crowd. Warehouse management keeps our two DCs honest to the unit.

Cons

Mobile experience is functional only

Lindiwe Hadebe

CFO · Cape Town Steel

10 June 2026

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

Strong core, upgrades are projects

After 2 years we respect it deeply and curse it occasionally. Reporting beyond operations leans on Power BI or partners.

Pros

Manufacturing depth from MRP to dispatch; local support in SA time

Cons

Office side modules feel secondary

Naledi Maharaj

Production Manager

4 May 2026

Food & Beverage · 11–50 employees South Africa Used for 6–12 months

Our accountant in East London recommended it, good call

Shop floor capture killed the paper travellers and the arguments they caused. The training academy meant our new planner arrived already competent.

Pros

Recall grade lot and serial traceability

Cons

Mobile experience is functional only
