Expensive, and we still renew

Stock control is the reason we stay, nothing cloud based matches it. Foreign currency handling is properly built in on Professional.

Pros

Stock control is the reason we stay, nothing cloud based matches it.

Cons

Upgrades occasionally break a custom report.

Stock control keeps us here

Project costing gives us real margin per job rather than a guess, and the fixed asset register saves the schedule we used to keep separately. No complaints so far.

Pros

Project costing gives us real margin per job rather than a guess.

Cons

Backups are your problem in a way they are not with cloud products.

The fixed asset register saves the schedule we used to keep separately, and the document capture pre fills purchase invoices and saves hours a week. No complaints so far.

Pros

The fixed asset register saves the schedule we used to keep separately.
