### "Great software package, but not a full blown ERP" — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *23 November 2018* | Wholesale | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Process flows are best in class. The new web interface is a marvel to behold.
> 
> **Cons**: Lacks many features required to be a full blown ERP solution. No accounting, CRM, etc. Mostly good as an inventory management system.
