Loads of functionality for the price. Just go in knowing it is not plug and play, you need to invest in setup.
Having sales, stock and accounting joined up has cut out a lot of double capturing.
Version upgrades can break customisations.
Finance Manager, Tygerberg Trading
We run most of the business on it now. Some modules are stronger than others but the core is solid.
You can tailor it heavily to your own processes.
Official support is slow, a good partner matters a lot.

A few modules feel half finished.
Project Manager, Cape Trading

Nothing so far.

Everything is connected. A sale flows through to inventory and accounting without me re entering a thing.
