> **Cons**: There is NO training and don't even get mentioned in their quotes
The installation team guide you but Vs their speed and knowledge...and this is taking hrs of your installation quote. Only stresses me out more due to lack of knowledge.

> I must still run my own payroll reports for first month of take on ...not a clue how. The take on was stressful.
First contact them for at least 2 days virtual training plus minus R5k and then start with a company for implementation /take over. Ensure they run all reports in order to compare.
