Meera Le Roux

Office Manager · Midrand Construction Supplies

4 June 2025

Construction · 1–10 employees South Africa Used for 2+ years

No complaints after 4 years

After 4 years the system has never once lost us data. The switch model means you never pay for features you do not run. The system runs happily on modest hardware, no server upgrade demanded. Local, honest and quietly excellent. Recommended.

Pros

Decades of proven stability

Shireen Van Zyl

General Manager · Pretoria Security Holdings

27 July 2024

South Africa Used for 2+ years

Mostly happy in Roodepoort, a few gripes

We trust it completely and explain it occasionally. The interface belongs to an earlier era and works like it too. Documentation assumes some bookkeeping fluency.

Pros

Runs on modest hardware; job costing to the cent

Cons

Remote access needs arranging

2 February 2025

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

Serial tracking arrived the day we needed it

The quote for our whole setup undercut the big names by half. The switch model means you never pay for features you do not run.

Pros

Fast on very large stock files; feature switches instead of forced editions

Cons

Online integrations need bridging

Elmarie Booysen

Managing Director · Karoo Manufacturing Studio

5 May 2026

Manufacturing South Africa Used for 1–2 years

Good but not perfect for our East London team

We trust it completely and explain it occasionally. The interface belongs to an earlier era and works like it too. The report writer produces exactly the statements our accountant wants.

Pros

No migration upgrade path

Cons

No real mobile story

6 February 2025

Job costing to the cent

Cons

New staff need training from scratch

27 November 2025

Food & Beverage · 1–10 employees South Africa Used for 6–12 months

Decent fit for a 5 person company

The engine is proven, the presentation is vintage. New bookkeepers rarely arrive knowing it, training falls to us.

Honest local pricing

Cons

Small consultant ecosystem

Paul Nkosi

Financial Manager

21 June 2026

Food & Beverage · 11–50 employees South Africa Used for 2+ years

Frustrating experience for our 20 person team

Loyalty kept us two years past the right time to move. Our online store sync ran on a custom script that broke quarterly.

Cons

Desktop base fights remote work

Priya Abrahams

Director · Horizon Farming Solutions

14 July 2025

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

Fast on big stock files, year after year

The quote for our whole setup undercut the big names by half. VAT returns align with SARS expectations out of the box. The switch model should embarrass the edition sellers.

Boitumelo Lombard

Operations Manager

5 March 2025

Retail · 1–10 employees South Africa Used for 2+ years

Decent fit for a 4 person company

We trust it completely and explain it occasionally. Remote access needs remote desktop or hosting arrangements. VAT returns align with SARS expectations out of the box.

Megan Smith

Bookkeeper

8 April 2026

Food & Beverage · 11–50 employees Botswana Used for 2+ years

Exactly what our 35 person business needed

We switched on job costing the month our factory needed it and paid only for that switch. The report writer produces exactly the statements our accountant wants. For SA businesses that value substance, look here first.

Katlego Ndlovu

Financial Manager

28 March 2026

Manufacturing · 1–10 employees South Africa Used for Less than 6 months

Good decision for a 4 person company

Serial tracking on appliances went live the week the insurer required it. Support calls reach someone who has seen our exact question before. The switch model means you never pay for features you do not run. Our books run on Durban software and we like it that way.

Pros

Honest local pricing; job costing to the cent

Cons

Vintage interface
