Francois Ngcobo

CFO

29 November 2024

Food & Beverage · 51–200 employees South Africa Used for 1–2 years

Exactly what our 95 person business needed

Bill of materials revisions finally match what engineering actually builds. Import costing spreads duties and freight properly across landed stock. The training academy meant our new planner arrived already competent. Our factory would not run without it, simple as that.

Pros

Native SA VAT and statutory layer

Cons

Module licensing needs careful scoping

Senzo Oosthuizen

15 November 2024

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

Working well for our 80 person team

The lot traceability took us through a product recall in hours instead of weeks. Power BI reads the SQL base directly for the analytics crowd.

Pros

Shop floor capture kills paper

Sifiso Mabaso

IT Manager

Mining · 500+ employees Zimbabwe Used for 2+ years

Good decision for a 600 person company

Our implementation partner has done our industry three times before us.

Pros

Manufacturing depth from MRP to dispatch

Cons

Mobile experience is functional only

Lindiwe Khan

Plant Manager · Vanderbijlpark Mining Group

15 September 2024

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

Local support in our time zone, priceless

MRP suggestions respect our lead times and the weak rand on imported inputs. WIP tracking ended the month end guess about half finished stock. Quality holds stop suspect batches from shipping automatically. For SA manufacturers this is the serious local answer.

Cons

Mobile experience is functional only

Thandiwe Marais

IT Manager

9 September 2024

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

Our food plant passed audit on its records

The capability is real and so is the learning curve. Licensing by module needs careful scoping up front. The scheduling board shows the floor what reality allows, not what sales dreamed.

Pros

Recall grade lot and serial traceability; job costing that tells the truth

6 July 2026

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

Mostly happy in Durban, a few gripes

Right tool for our plant, with honest overheads. The mobile story is functional rather than modern. Licensing by module needs careful scoping up front.

Pros

Native SA VAT and statutory layer

Cons

Upgrades are projects

Wayne Ndlovu

CFO · East London Construction Studio

4 July 2026

Construction · 201–500 employees South Africa Used for Less than 6 months

Serving our Randburg operation well

Shop floor capture killed the paper travellers and the arguments they caused. VAT and statutory reporting come out locally correct by default. Recommended to every manufacturer who asks, and they ask.

Pros

Recall grade lot and serial traceability

Cons

Customisations complicate upgrades

Bheki Hadebe

Financial Manager

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

Happy customer in Kimberley

The lot traceability took us through a product recall in hours instead of weeks. VAT and statutory reporting come out locally correct by default.

Pros

SQL base open to Power BI

Cons

Industrial interface, real learning curve

Gugu Khumalo

Financial Director · Umhlanga Manufacturing

2 July 2026

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

Solid choice for our Midrand business

Shop floor capture killed the paper travellers and the arguments they caused. Serial and lot tracking runs from receipt to dispatch without gaps. For SA manufacturers this is the serious local answer.

Pros

Import costing for weak rand realities; shop floor capture kills paper

Cons

Office side modules feel secondary

1 July 2026

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

Doing okay for our 80 person setup

Right tool for our plant, with honest overheads. Licensing by module needs careful scoping up front. Warehouse management keeps our two DCs honest to the unit.

Pros

SQL base open to Power BI; shop floor capture kills paper

Danie Molefe

Financial Director · Table Bay Couriers and Sons

22 June 2026

Logistics · 201–500 employees South Africa Used for 6–12 months

Not what we hoped for our eMalahleni business

Modern UX expectations meet a system with heritage, repeatedly. Our graduates compared it unkindly to everything they knew.

Cons

Partner rates on every request. Upgrade broke customisations for a quarter

Emma Chauke

Supply Chain Manager · Chauke Packaging and Sons

10 June 2026

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

Decent fit for a 110 person company

It rewards investment and punishes casual adoption. The mobile story is functional rather than modern. The training academy meant our new planner arrived already competent.

Pros

Training academy for staff pipeline; shop floor capture kills paper

Cons

Customisations complicate upgrades

Kobus Booysen

IT Manager · Somerset West Mining

7 June 2026

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

Serving our Stellenbosch operation well

Job costing showed us which product lines actually earn their floor space. Power BI reads the SQL base directly for the analytics crowd. The proudly South African label is earned in the product.

Pros

Partner channel with industry mileage

Michael Hadebe

Operations Director

Logistics · 51–200 employees Namibia Used for 6–12 months

Doing the job for us in Rustenburg

The local pedigree matters: our feature request reached people who could ship it. Financials sit native, no interface file between the floor and the ledger.

Pros

Native SA VAT and statutory layer; manufacturing depth from MRP to dispatch

Cons

Mobile experience is functional only

Robyn Grobler

Supply Chain Manager · Cape Town Manufacturing Solutions

29 May 2026

Manufacturing · 201–500 employees South Africa Used for 6–12 months

Good but not perfect for our East London team

A deep manufacturing system that dresses for the factory, not the boardroom. Version upgrades are proper projects with partner hours attached. The training academy meant our new planner arrived already competent.

Pros

Native SA VAT and statutory layer; job costing that tells the truth

Cons

Industrial interface, real learning curve

15 May 2026

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

Our accountant in Vereeniging recommended it, good call

The upgrade from our legacy system preserved a decade of history. Financials sit native, no interface file between the floor and the ledger. VAT and statutory reporting come out locally correct by default. Recommended to every manufacturer who asks, and they ask.

Pros

Job costing that tells the truth
