The platform enables businesses to manage finances, projects, sales, customer relationships, manufacturing, supply chains, analytics, and more.

Sales and service functionality allows users to manage their contacts, sales opportunities, and service contracts.

    Pros

    Nothing. It is not nearly worth the 165,000.00 that we have put in to it over the last year.

    Cons

    Everything. System does not work. Too many fields to jump around to, too many pages to jump to. Unable to keep pages open to work between. Unable to see Customer / Vendor numbers. Not enough character spaces in some fields. Document date does not pull in correctly on Payment Journal. Check Stub total dollar amount prints on top of check number of lower stub. No vendor number prints anywhere on the check or stub. System creates two or three numbers for every PO, Job, Invoice. Payment Journal populates every Vendor that has a transaction then you have to choose which one to pay and then delete what you don't want. Checks do not print out in Alphabetical order. I can go on and on. Nothing good to say about this Program. It is not even written for our Industry. We were not even listed in the choices for Industry. What does that tell you.
