Effective & easily customizable ERP software

PROS

- Using their inventory mobile app, our inventory accuracy has improved vastly - With a coding class from abas, small customizations can be done internally

CONS

- We have large & complicated bills of materials that were difficult to manage. We did a bit of work to get them flowing through abas effectively.

A solid ERP solution for most

ABAS was purchased by a company that buys and consolidates software companies. When that happened, the family feel started to leave as did many technical resources that we'd grown to know and love. Overall ABAS was a very good solution for us and helped us as a business to succeed. However, over time we saw areas that needed something different, like scheduling and the loss of the team we'd had been working with all the years prior led us to change to a different ERP. ABAS is a great ERP solution that is customizable and has a lot of rich features. Unfortunately for us scheduling of our type of business was too critical to not have it working with all other functions of the ERP.

PROS

ABAS was our first ERP system. It helped us grow into the business we are today. The ability to customize the system to fit your business was crucial for us. The teams we worked with through the years were great. For years we felt like family and they worked like part of the team.

CONS

We are former users of ABAS. Its only because as a growing company, we needed the ability to schedule for engineered to order, custom manufacturing and ABAS excels at scheduling for "widget" manufacturing. We tried to customize it but where we had success in other functions, for scheduling, it didn't work. We had to find a solution that could help us in this critical area. Otherwise, ABAS is a great solution.

Reason for choosing abas ERP

ABAS had the functionality we needed (CAD2BOM) and was fully customizable.

Reasons for switching to abas ERP

At the time we needed something more than just Quickbooks to run the business. ABAS was our first venture into a full ERP system.

Do NOT waste your money or time with Abas

Terrible, we are currently looking to replace Abas. Chalk it up to a lesson learned the hard way. Avoid Abas at all costs.

PROS

The selection process was very good. Sales people were informative and seemed pretty upfront regarding functionality

CONS

The software has it's own proprietary database that makes no sense. All the filed names are in German and performing any kind of customization is nect to impossible without paying Abas more money. The Professional Services people don't seem to know their own product very well. We had users that knew more about Abas than some of their consultants, especially in the Finance and Sales areas.

Reason for choosing abas ERP

We liked the sales person very much and the demo person made the system look much easier to use than it actually was. Turned out Abas is very complex and doesn't even do Standard Cost. Unfortunately for us, we assumed they did because almost every ERP system does. Bad job on our part to not bring that up.

Pankl Racing Systems, based in Austria, specializes in developing and manufacturing engine and drive-train components for racing cars, high performance vehicles and the aerospace industry. Pankl is a global organization with worldwide subsidiaries in Austria, UK, USA, Slovakia and Japan. In Austria we've been using abas ERP since 1995, in the USA since 2002, in the UK since 2004 and in Slovakia since 2008. At the moment we are running abas ERP version 2009r4n11 at all the Pankl subsidiaries. We decided to use abas ERP because it provides all the necessary functions for a mid-market manufacturer like Pankl and from our point of view it has a really good cost/performance ratio. Another benefit is the flexibility of abas ERP. If your company needs customizations, like additional fields in screens to enter data or personalized reports, abas can make that happen. I was not personally involved in the abas ERP implementation process in Austria and the UK, but I never heard anything negative about these projects. The implementation process in the UK and in Slovakia took 3 to 6 months at each subsidiary. It took us a little bit longer in Slovakia compared to the UK, because we are running abas ERP in Slovakia in 4 different languages: Slovak, Czech, English and German. Both software vendors, in the UK and in Slovakia, were really helpful during the whole roll out process. We received all the help we needed during the implementation process and I really appreciate the fast response time of abas USA when there are problems or just user requests. In a demo system, which is actually a copy of the live database, each department receives special training in abas ERP. This approach has 2 major benefits: 1. The user has the chance to increase his knowledge of abas using familiar examples from the live system 2. The user is already in contact with the abas ERP system, but in a "save" demo environment, where he cannot damage anything in the live database. Based on our experience such lessons are more efficient for a new user than just classroom lectures. Our users usually learn to use abas ERP really quickly after these training sessions. As with each software solution, abas ERP has "special" features and functions, but if you are aware of them you gain a big advantage in handling the abas ERP software. The biggest benefit is to have all the relevant data from purchasing and sales, production, materials management, production planning and control (PPC) and financial accounting combined in one system.

Abas ERP for Spare Parts

Overall, Abas is an incredibly useful program with many customizable functions and systems. It also has the ability to integrate with other programs, making it more convenient for us to provide great service to our customers.

PROS

Ease of use, hovering over an icon provides the user info on the function. Straightforward virtual transfers. Easy packing slipping and Invoicing - really appreciate the link to outlook email for sending off invoices to customers.

CONS

A few too many lines in Stock Journal, 2 lines per transfer is rather high, unnecessary, and tough on the eyes. Undoing 'posted' mistakes could be made more simple and seems to be headed in that direction with the update coming our way - happy to see this soon.
