Ajax review of D1

One major benefit to ERP1 is the ability to manage sales from a market cost perspective versus the actual purchase cost. This enables the business to retain any margin gain realized through better sourcing or negotiating as well as to set cost true to the actual local market. In short, our margin gain in the first month was so significant I felt there had to be a system glitch. There wasn't.....

Pros

There are many features that support our daily;y operations so its difficult to select any particular module. The program performs as we expected it to. That's straight forward and can be seen through the demo. There's no buying a pig in a poke. So no surprises there. But one does take a leap of faith with respect to customer service after the sale and I can share that we have never been disappointed with D1's customer service. They walk their talk.

Cons

Honestly, nothing. Everything and everyone performed as it should and as promised.

Satisfied Decision

My overall all experience with ERP-One+ is very pleasing. I found the implementation team to be very helpful and insightful. I found that additional training and help is provided when needed. I also enjoyed the User Conference which enabled me the opportunity to speak with other users of the program. This allowed me to learn more aspects of the program and how they used the program and tips and tricks that help me better understand the system. I also like the openness of the ERP staff to new ideas and improvements they are willing to make for their Customers.

Pros

The thing I like most about the software is the ease of use and the visibility it allows me to have that our old system did not have.

Cons

The Accounting system is not as robust as I would like. That an Accounting team for implementation was not on staff.

Just a little extra Customer Service effort could make it excellent

Pros

Designed for distribution, good intuitive use and graphics. Solid forms and plenty of functional bells and whistles.

Cons

When help is needed on specific questions and implementation it is more difficult than it should be to get the full attention of someone who could help. Phone calls are best solutions, email requests often go into a black hole. Solutions discussed with one customer service rep often cannot be completed with that rep because you get the next available rep and you have to begin the process over, instead of picking up where you left off w/ prior rep. Has gotten modestly better recently.

Distribution One ERP-PLUS is adequate

It works, but others with more ERP experience than me find it limiting.

Pros

The logic of the system is rather straight-forward regarding information flow.

Cons

Documentation is VERY LIMITED and what is available is for 2nd (or maybe 3rd?) EARLIER versions...not the current version...so integrity is very questionable Inconsistency of programming and naming protocols (there are Invoice Programs that do not have the word INVOICE in them...so are unable to be found unless you KNOW their code) Dashboards are not customizable and COULD and SHOULD be .

We learn something new everyday.

Our cost/benefit goals have been surpassed. With each month of experience, we continue to become more efficient.

Pros

Configurability and scalability. ERP+ allows you to modify the software to your needs in more ways than I had originally thought. No custom programing has been needed to satisfy us. The customer support team is top notch and easy to reach when we have a question or need a refresher.

Cons

The capability is so vast, I feel like we are only using 20% of the programs available. As they told us at implementation, it will take time for us to achieve confidence that we are maximizing the power of the software.
