ERP Manager
5.0

Masoud M.: Hello. My name is Masoud, I am ERP consultant. I give Genius ERP five out of five. For more information, please click on the link below. Before using Genius ERP, we were using MISys, but we had to change it because it was not a good tool for reporting, for automatic reports, and for having access comfortably to the database by management. We are using Genius ERP because it's synced with accounting. By the way, all the actions and transactions can be counted quantitatively. And also, it's a convenient tool to do all the transactions in production and supply chain. Moreover, it provides flexible tools for reporting, customized reports, and having overall control to the database. Getting started with Genius was relatively comfortable because the Genius support is working well, and also they are providing academic services to learn how to use it. So training and implementation went smooth. The capability that I wish be added to Genius ERP is formulizing some transactions to be able to optimize transaction automatically. Also, some decision maker tools can be added to it, to make some transactions based on the numbers in advance, and without interfere of users.
