Long time partners

We have been with Genius since 2008! We are a medium sized flex manufacturing company. It's been an exciting journey for us as our resources were limited during implementation, so we had a rough start, however, over the last 5 years, we have been working with Genius to get the most out of our software and the team has been great to work with. I love the canteens! we have been able to get Realtime support from the team as well as other customers of Genius. We all share our best practices. The webinars are wonderful as well. We are getting ready to transition to V15 and our whole team has been excited about this.

Pros:

There are a few features that I love about the software so far: 1. very flexible. There are so many fields to add as much or as little data as you need to each module.2. For the exception of shop floor and data collection, all their modules are included in the price for the license.3. Existing reports such as the open order report, have so much information to be able to manage at a higher level with all the critical details available at your fingertips, so you don't have to go digging around to find info.4. The customer support and especially the canteens that they host are wonderful. They are able to work with you to help resolve issues you're having with the software and sometimes just the method or process. The Genius team is knowledgeable, so they are able to give solutions based on industry standards as well.

Cons:

There are some fields that don't actually connect to anything sometimes. These get fixed during upgrades, but without having someone on staff that really understands how a database works and can go look at the background structure to find the links, you are having to rely heavily on the Genius team.

Reasons for choosing Genius ERP

Vendor Response

Hi Nada, Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. We're happy to hear you find the product flexible to fit your needs. Glad to hear that you are having the most out of the Canteens.

Ease of use

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

The one aspect that matters most to me is how engineering and production runs concurrently. When a design is complete in CAD format, the BOM and routing can be imported into the system so there is no need to re-enter specifications and save money from not realizing an expensive error.

Cons:

One difficulty that is usually encountered is the generation of the report. Creating the reports I require for the upper management are not easily doable and to make a particular report in a particular format usually takes a lot of adjustment.

Functionality

Pros:

These management tools used in the BOM are quite effective. I can create even second and third level BOMs for assemblies and subassemblies with great accuracy and directly see who has taken what parts but with the help of Genius ERP I do not have to watch each part taken.

Cons:

The control of the invoices to the customers is not very automated, as I was expecting it to be. It happens when I have multiple progress billing stages on one job: it simply takes too much of setting up in the system, and it slows me down a lot in the accounting.

Pros:

The most useful aspect that I consider for me is the visual job planning board. It is employed to track the order status, allocate working centers, and identify bottlenecks prior to their effect on the delivery and it enhances the transparency through the supply chain.

Cons:

The costing reports do not include overhead allocations automatically unless specifically set up in the system in a specific way. This has led to a few incomplete profitability assessments till realised which settings were being left out.

Functionality

Pros:

These revealed the interrelation between engineering, inventory and the planning of production. Whenever I modify the routing or parts in the design, those changes reflect in procurement and scheduling, thus reducing the handoffs and increasing order quality.

Cons:

The CRM component feels underdeveloped. I can’t track consumer transactions massively or have a view on the comprehensive sales processes, which is rather important if I’m working with lengthy orders for manufacturing custom industrial parts.

Functionality

Pros:

The stand-out feature to me was the linking of the bill-of-materials to the routing. When I have settled on the BOM suggestions for routing and resource allocation are offered without my having to switch between modules, thus cutting my planning stage time.

Cons:

One issue is the system speed slows down when performing big operations such as batch data runs or updating part data. It is not recursive but it becomes quite slow especially during the peak time when many clients are actively using it.

Ease of use

Pros:

I am involved with highly technical machinery constructions, and with Genius, I do not have to worry so much about the labor, the parts, and routing time. It aids me in coming up with accurate quotes for the projects that have complicated structures.

Cons:

There is strength to be made in the utilization of time keeping concerning shop floor workers. People can submit the same time entries more than once or fail to capture a change between job tasks that leads to inaccurate pay checks.

Pros:

I utilize it to schedule jobs across different machines so I get the actual picture on load distribution. It assists me in determining how to prioritize during a busy period due to its effectiveness in organizing information.

Cons:

Some systems call for full user log out that affect working hours leading to disruption of production. For this I would rather opt for a background update method or create regular maintenance windows.
