Verdict
Our verdict
The South African ERP derby. Sage 200 Evolution is the natural step up for Pastel shops: familiar concepts, a huge reseller channel and strong distribution features. SYSPRO is the manufacturing specialist, with MRP, shop floor control and traceability that Evolution cannot match, at implementation budgets to match. Distributors and service groups lean Evolution; factories lean SYSPRO.
