Aptean Food & Beverage ERP vs. Deacom ERP

I would highly recommend Aptean Food and Beverage to any colleague in the Food industry. The ERP is specially designed for Food Manufacturing and it does it very well.

Good for the price and basic functionality but sometimes calculations inside the application are not handled smoothly. For us, we have no problems for our Lb customers but our Gallon/Kg customers usually have issues have unit conversion issues.

• Accounts Payable system is well integrated and easy to use
• Accounts Receivable is the same as Account Payable. Easy to reconcile with the bank
• Tracking of inventory and recording of inventory is well managed by aptean
• Submitting and recording Purchase Orders is very well integrated with Inventory and Accounts Payable.

Incentivized

• The lot tracking capability
• Being able to have the Accounting software to look up the GL information
• Creation and customization of the ERP system that we need for our business

Incentivized

• The Quality Assurance Module needs some better integration with inventory. We still do this process manually
• The Maintenance module needs the same work as the Quality Assurance Module
• The Warehouse Module does sometimes get a bit wonky, but overall is okay.

Incentivized

• MRP - it is rather difficult to understand
• Quality Control - it is not possible to effectively note/track hold reasons and drive action

I gave this Rating to Aptean due to the many great functions it has and how specially designed it is for food manufacturing. The customer support however, sometimes gets a bit irritating

With proper training it is very easy to use as long as you don't try to customize it to fit your old processes

Support for the product is good, but very complicated via ticket process. And emergency tickets dont get resolved right away which then halts usage of the system.

Aptean blows QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise out of the water. Everything Aptean does compared to Quickbooks is 100x better in all aspects from AP, to AR, to inventory management, to purchase orders

Deacom ERP is much faster to respond to bulk sales order processing, large numbers of EDI transactions and query response time. Deacom ERP support is vastly better, and the team is very helpful.
