Genius Solutions vs. WinMan ERP Software

Genius is well suited to our fabrication business as it covers all sections that need to be addressed in one program e.g. shipping, receiving, Sales orders, Purchase orders, invoicing, Employee clocking times from the scanning machine. easy to navigate between modules where needed once you know how.

Winman ERP is well suited to our business and we have not felt the need to look further. The great strength for us is the MRP facility but each business is unique and must make it's own assessment. The accounting side just works - nothing to add here.

• It has a variety of modules and can customize reports or filters to suit all our needs.
• I appreciate that we can export and import from Excel.
• This freed us from certain tasks, automate certain processes and be more efficient in our work.

• MRP - our inventory forecasting is done within Winman using the MRP facility. This allows us to place timely orders with our suppliers.
• Inventory transfers and value uplifts (to reflect actual landed cost) are simply catered for and fully integrated into the accounting system.
• Integration with our website ensures that accurate data flows throughout the whole process.

• Customization of reports can be costly.
• In my opinion the Quality section is not as good as we expected.
• For Customization we need Power BI knowledge

• Having used Winman ERP for a long time now it fully suits our needs.

Genius is easy to use but you have to male sure it's set up properly. You also have to make sure you understand what an ERP should do to know the right questions to ask when you contact customer support.

My few queries are answered promptly.

As with any business project, a clear plan with clearly defined outcomes is key.

Genius had a far better implementation team and had everything we were looking for without having to super customize a product. The implementation was also far easier than expected due to their ability to manipulate spreadsheets and import them in. We are glad we went with Genius due to the flow of the software and the syncable database. The main thing missed about Quickbooks is the ability to easily fix mistakes by deleting transactions or edit them even after they posted. This however made financials less reliable

Having used Winman ERP for many years through various iterations we have not felt the need to look elsewhere

• Tracking job costs makes it easy to see where we are in the projects.
• We save a lot of time for the production of "repeat" jobs.
• With job tracking from start to finish, we can easily schedule deliveries.

• The key thing is to be able to do more with less people, removing as much repetitive work as possible.
• More automation allows us to grow the business whilst being able to concentrate on core competencies that cannot be automated such as product development, branding and marketing.
• Inventory planning is simplified through the use of MRP. Top level skus are readily converted into POs for timely component procurement which means we have the best opportunity to fill sales orders.
