Tshepo Mahlangu

25 January 2026

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

Solid choice for our Mossel Bay business

The local pedigree matters: our feature request reached people who could ship it. Import costing spreads duties and freight properly across landed stock.

Pros

Partner channel with industry mileage

Cons

Customisations complicate upgrades

Factory Manager · Karoo Steel Works

18 November 2025

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

Decent fit for a 300 person company

Right tool for our plant, with honest overheads. Serial and lot tracking runs from receipt to dispatch without gaps.

Pros

Job costing that tells the truth

Cons

Mobile experience is functional only

26 April 2025

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

Exactly what our 260 person business needed

Our plant outside Vanderbijlpark runs planning, floor capture and dispatch on it daily. Financials sit native, no interface file between the floor and the ledger. Quality holds stop suspect batches from shipping automatically.

Dineo Coetzee

Supply Chain Manager

3 March 2026

Construction · 51–200 employees Namibia Used for 1–2 years

Solid choice for our Mbombela business

Demand planning trimmed our safety stock without a single stockout. Forty years of listening to plants like ours shows.

Pros

Training academy for staff pipeline

Cons

Upgrades are projects

Zanele Barnard

CFO · East London Logistics Works

22 November 2024

Botswana Used for 2+ years

Still glad we chose it, 6 years later

The upgrade from our legacy system preserved a decade of history. WIP tracking ended the month end guess about half finished stock. It speaks factory, which imported ERPs mostly do not.

Vinesh Ndlovu

Supply Chain Manager · Vanderbijlpark Manufacturing

14 December 2024

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

Fine for now, watching the roadmap

Right tool for our plant, with honest overheads. Version upgrades are proper projects with partner hours attached.

Pros

Job costing that tells the truth; shop floor capture kills paper

Cons

Customisations complicate upgrades

Marius Ismail

CFO

28 February 2025

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

Good but not perfect for our Boksburg team

A deep manufacturing system that dresses for the factory, not the boardroom. Office side functions like CRM feel like guests in a factory system.

Cons

Office side modules feel secondary

Clinton Le Roux

IT Manager · Pretoria Freight Solutions

19 September 2024

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

Decent fit for a 55 person company

Strong where it matters, dated where it shows. Warehouse management keeps our two DCs honest to the unit.

Pros

Partner channel with industry mileage; sQL base open to Power BI

Cons

Customisations complicate upgrades

Kevin Ngcobo

Sandton Farming

8 August 2025

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

Import costing with a weak rand, handled

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. WIP tracking ended the month end guess about half finished stock.

Pros

Native SA VAT and statutory layer

21 November 2025

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

Exactly what our 60 person business needed

We are 60 users from stores to finance and the system carries all of it. Financials sit native, no interface file between the floor and the ledger. Power BI reads the SQL base directly for the analytics crowd. For SA manufacturers this is the serious local answer.

Marius Mokgadi

Supply Chain Manager · Umhlanga Steel

19 July 2025

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

Our 55 user plant runs on it end to end

The local pedigree matters: our feature request reached people who could ship it. The scheduling board shows the floor what reality allows, not what sales dreamed. Forty years of listening to plants like ours shows.

Pros

Native SA VAT and statutory layer; partner channel with industry mileage

Warren Bester

Factory Manager

20 December 2025

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

forty years of factories in the DNA

After 2 years we respect it deeply and curse it occasionally. The interface is industrial, younger staff take time to warm to it.

Pros

Training academy for staff pipeline; shop floor capture kills paper

Cons

Upgrades are projects

4 November 2024

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

Doing okay for our 160 person setup

After 2 years we respect it deeply and curse it occasionally. Version upgrades are proper projects with partner hours attached.

Warehouse Manager

20 September 2025

Serving our Pietermaritzburg operation well

Support answers in our time zone from people who know factories. Recommended to every manufacturer who asks, and they ask.

Pros

Training academy for staff pipeline; shop floor capture kills paper

Cons

Module licensing needs careful scoping

Yusuf Sithole

Operations Director · Protea Couriers SA

4 December 2025

South Africa Used for 1–2 years

Doing the job for us in Springs

After 2 years the system knows our factory better than some of our staff. Quality holds stop suspect batches from shipping automatically. Our factory would not run without it, simple as that.

Pros

Training academy for staff pipeline; recall grade lot and serial traceability

Cons

Customisations complicate upgrades

Pieter Buthelezi

IT Manager · Winelands Steel Studio

23 May 2026

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

Decent fit for a 40 person company

The capability is real and so is the learning curve.

Cons

Industrial interface, real learning curve

Highveld Steel Supplies

21 January 2025

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

Deep manufacturing, industrial interface

After 2 years we respect it deeply and curse it occasionally. The interface is industrial, younger staff take time to warm to it. Power BI reads the SQL base directly for the analytics crowd.

Pros

Shop floor capture kills paper; training academy for staff pipeline

Cons

Industrial interface, real learning curve

Craig Mokgadi

IT Manager

8 September 2025

South Africa Used for 2+ years

Mixed feelings after 8 years

A deep manufacturing system that dresses for the factory, not the boardroom. Licensing by module needs careful scoping up front.

Pros

Partner channel with industry mileage

Cons

Upgrades are projects

Nomvula Botes

Umhlanga Distributors Solutions

16 February 2025

Wholesale · 500+ employees South Africa Used for Less than 6 months

Doing okay for our 750 person setup

It rewards investment and punishes casual adoption. The mobile story is functional rather than modern. WIP tracking ended the month end guess about half finished stock.

Pros

Local support in SA time

Cons

Office side modules feel secondary
