### "Great value - many good features for a distribution company"

November 29, 2022

5.0

The implementation was very quick and done in less than a week by the Aquilon support staff. The brought across all the inventory, customers and supplier information from our Sage 50 system and now we run teh systems in the cloud which saved a lot of time.

Pros

Once we were trained and understood the software we found it easy to use. The data queries allow us to setup the data the way we want to see it for our products and customers. Our old software did not have the same flexibility and power.

Cons

There is not much not to like about this software, it does everything we want and more

### "Great for inventory management and sales reporting"

December 12, 2022

4.0

Overall we are pretty happy with this software.

Pros

This software is great for inventory management and sales reporting.

Cons

Some of the modules feel outdated and are not all user friendly. Doing multiple steps to complete what should be a single transaction took a lot to get used to.

### "A Solid Product for a Fair Price"

November 29, 2022

5.0

Pros

We are a small manufacturing and distribution company, approximately $15M in sales. We were forced to move off of our old server based package as it was barely being supported. Between constant problems with Microsoft update compatibility, security issues, and connectivity problems from our server to other locations, we knew we had to change. Cloud based solutions seemed like to route to go. After reviewing and trialing some packages, we decided upon Aquilon. For a company our size some packages were ridiculously priced, in comparison, Aquilon seemed fairly priced for a small company with our needs. The leadership of Aquilon was involved in the sale, which also was a major selling point. Just great personal service and support. And it continues to this day.

Cons

There were some reports on the old system I missed, but we have created custom reports now that give essentially the same information. As with other cloud based subscription products, we are now subject to the razor and razor blade business. But there is comfort in not worrying about server problems, software updates, backups, connectivity issues with our branches, etc.

### "System for building materials, door in particular."

November 29, 2022

4.0

We are able to solve our massive inventory system issues by moving from Sage 50 to Aquilon because we have over 3000 SKUs. The accounting module is also very strong.

Pros

The inventory module is very comprehensive. I would say this is one of the strongest inventory management software I have used in particular for door suppliers.

Cons

The payroll system does not print out T4 forms. We must use a pre-printed blank form to print T4s and make the form alignment manually which can take up a bit of time.

Reason for choosing Aquilon ERP

We chose Aquilon because it was a door inventory management software and one of our major products is doors.

Hi Lihn Thanks for taking the time to review Aquilon. We will address the T4 issue as soon as possible. Thanks for pointing this out. Regards P

### "Best Decision we've made"

December 5, 2022

5.0

i was very concerned with the decision to convert to a NEW program. heard numerous stories of problems with others integrating systems. spent a number of years contemplating the change. AQUILON was always the option i came back to. can't believe i waited 5 years to make the BEST decision i could've made!!

Pros

Very easy to implement. users picked it up extremely fast.

Cons

Not many CON's. if anything the extreme amount of options and capacity to the program.

Reason for choosing Aquilon ERP

Functions. ease to implement. affordability.

### "Experienced office software user"

November 30, 2022

5.0

Aquilon ERP is cloud based and that has helped to access files from home. Our data files are more accessible and easy to recreate. Our processing time has increased and easily accommodates our increased sales.

Pros

The most useful feature is the module links. I can easily get to a customer's file to look up an older sale or the maintenance file while entering an invoice for billing. I really like using the Excel and PDF report export. Our files were all imported into the new software and we were off and running their first day we went live.

Cons

There are features that need to be tweaked for some reports. We have special sales tax needs that we are fixing that are unique to us. We have had other minor issues but the Aquilon team fixed them and and made our defaults customary to our desires. Very accommodating team.

### "Great for small manufacturing/distribution/inventory business."

December 12, 2022

4.0

Overall for the price we paid and the annual support, this is the best value for money for a small business that have sales under $5 million.

Pros

Inexpensive in comparison to a lot of softwares that can do an effective inventory management.

Cons

Limited reporting templates, cannot customize reports yourself.

Reason for choosing Aquilon ERP

It was a local Canadian made software.The sales rep actually came on site several times to demo the software.

September 21, 2017

4.0

Pros

Ability to customize queries and reports Customer service is excellent. The Aquilon team is responsive and supportive.

Cons

Inability to build new modules on the fly. Each new request has to be requested. This is not as bad as it sounds because the Aquilon office is very helpful. But it would be nice to be able to set up simple modules.

### "To date excellent experience . We are about to go into live production and we expect no change "

September 18, 2017

5.0

Pros

Acquilon was able to bridge the gaps between IT, accounting and operations so we ended up with a product that works for all three. They accomplished this by listening, acting and reviewing to ensure buy in from us. They also took the time to better understand our business and some of its nuances so the product truly accomplishes what we wanted it to do.

Cons

The process has taken longer than anticipated. Not really anyone's fault and we are happy with the result and cost. We will be better next time as well.

November 11, 2015

5.0

We used similar software from other company that i would like not mention. We did the transition to Aqulion after an in-depth research and talk with their customer service. We made the perfect choice. It is a full featured ERP software that is easy to use. We loved the fast implementation tool that converted data from our old system to Aqulilon. We also love the fact that you can built configurable views that will allow you to build your own spreadsheet like views of data, save that and export it to excel. It has definitely convinced us that it is a great tool for our business. Amazing ERP software that we will use for a long time!

My favorite feature is the automatic creation of inter company journal entries which guarantees that inter company loan accounts balance at all times. Inventory permits perpetual inventory counts ensuring no disruption to operations that a full stock count can bring. Payroll is user friendly and allows detailed cost allocations. Customer service is excellent at customizing the software to your requirements and providing training and support.

May 2, 2023

We have been able to streamline our manufacturing process with the real time inventory management. Management at Aquilon are very receptive to our challenges and are able to find a workable solution that will become part of the next available update. By adding these enhancements to the program all customers gain the benefit thus making it a more powerful system.

Pros

The ease of use and implementation. It provides much needed inventory management. The forced accounting discipline is a refreshing change which makes us a better company.

Cons

A real time general ledger would be very useful and I know that this is in the development stage right now.

### "A great option on a budget"

July 10, 2021

5.0

Pros

Aquilon provides all the different modules to manage and keep track of our food production business on a small budget. We have not yet fully utilize all the aspects of the software but we are confident we will be able to grow our business and team with it. The customer service is awesome. They are super quick to resolve any issues and/or answer any questions or doubts we may have. They make regular updates to fix bugs and add new features.

Cons

Aquilon can manage so many different aspects of your business that it is hard to master everything that the software can do for you. We would definitely benefit from more training from their staff. The interface is not yet consistent throughout all the modules but they are working on it.

Pros

Being a small company we all had some interaction going through the process. Integration was a painless process from a customer service representatives perspective. Training was simple and straight forward once company SOP's were in place. Access has never been issue using the cloud based version.

Cons

There were some settings that were not set the way we needed to capture history early on. The problem was resolved quickly once discovered.

July 6, 2021

4.0

I was hired to help implement the Aquilon ERP for a manufacturer and it was relatively quick and easy to get the software up and running with master files and a test environment for the users.

Pros

Import/Export capabilities with Excel were very good and useful. Really helps cut down the time of implementation. Good support with the software as well.

Cons

Need a bit more flexibility on what can be done with & inside jobs (WIP).

Pros

Aquilon ERP is a great software that seems to have been built with smaller businesses in mind. A lot of other ERP software just did not seem to mesh with what we needed. The fully customizable displays make it easy to find and use the features that you need and actually use.

Cons

It having so many options can be a bit overwhelming, trying to find out everything that is offered and where to find it.
