### "We have been using Symix/Syteline/CSI for 23 years and still meets our needs!"

June 29, 2018

4.0

Increased inventory accuracy, better planning and scheduling, increased on-time delivery, improved customer service.

Pros

Syteline Pros: customizability, depth of features and functionality, R&D investment and customer support.

Cons

Syteline Cons: System intuitiveness, it takes users longer than I would like for them to become comfortable and proficient. I believe this is due to the depth and features of the system. I 'm also getting a little tired hearing about all the "Cloud" hype!

### "CSI Summary"

September 23, 2019

4.0

Pros

CSI has the majority of features needed by my company and is able to be customized to meet our specific needs and preferences.

Cons

The supporting documentation does not provide enough details to perform installation tasks without the need for help from a partner or support.

### "I have used other ERP systems throughout my career and Syteline is by far the best."

June 29, 2018

5.0

Pros

New software versions come out well tested. Functionality stays abreast of current best practices in manufacturing. Consistent look and feel through all applications makes for ease of use. Very intuitive.

Cons

Licensing fees! I think the concurrent user fee structure is more applicable in a manufacturing environment where there are many sporadic users.

### "Syteline is very user friendly and provides much needed accountability."

June 29, 2018

4.0

Accountability of costs, purchasing, invoicing company wide.

Pros

It is glorified Excel which makes it very easy to navigate. With jobs, PO's, and CO's being linked together, it keeps the system clean.

Cons

From a SOX Compliance stand point, it has been difficult. With jobs, PO's, and CO's being linked together, it can be difficult when users don't follow the process.

### "Our experience has been good!"

May 18, 2017

4.0

It a software package that we can use to run our business processes on! Ship orders, manufture orders, etc.

Pros

A pro about this software is that it is the perfect size software package for our company. We enjoy it

Cons

A con is that it does not scale Wide Area Network with the correct speed. It doesn't appear to halve a good warehouse module.

### "Complete manufacturing business solutions"

September 11, 2019

5.0

We use Infor for inventory management, accounting, forecasting and many other things.

Pros

There are countless features, everything from accounting to inventory management. It’s easy to use and user friendly once you are trained

Cons

It can bog down at times causing delays in production and frustration in the workplace. Tends to be slow at least once per day

### "Very Complicated"

June 14, 2018

2.0

Pros

Very versatile software intended for warehousing and inventory type sales. There are many add-ons available.

Cons

This software is not well suited for use in the service industry. There are many issues when it comes to invoicing and generating statements.

### "Old and outdated MRP system"

April 13, 2018

1.0

I would not suggest this to any business.

Pros

SQL based, is based to run a large multi tiered company. Does have good user control but is very difficult to implement. Will require a full time person just to manage the IT requirements.

Cons

Very poor customer support through solution providers, overpriced setup and very difficult to tailor to fit business needs.

### "ESS Team Saves the Day and the Data"

April 13, 2017

5.0

The Syteline ERP team at Essential Software Solutions (ESS) in Vancouver, BC, saved the day - and our data. On Wednesday, we shut the Syteline server down for maintenance. It didn't come back up. With a corrupt virtual machine, we had to restore from backup. Jim Cho and the ESS Syteline team were called and made themselves available to ensure the restore worked and the SQL transactions were updated smoothly. ESS worked many hours into the evening testing to make sure all was OK for Rulmeca on Thursday morning. With help from ESS, our data loss was minimal. Couldn't have asked for better service. If the Syteline server had stayed down, we would have had no access to orders and made no progress on our manufacturing schedule. This would have required us to manually re-enter all data from Thursday related to orders, purchasing and manufacturing . Thanks, ESS!

Syteline is my companies ERP system. It works good, but could use updating. It can be a clunky system at times.

### "infor - erp"

April 24, 2018

4.0

Add-ons are great.

Pros

My company was able to integrate more efficient processes with the use of Infor and implementation was smooth.

Cons

The only thing I can say my company did not like is the time to logon. Takes longer than most applications.

### "We make it work for us."

January 6, 2017

2.0

We have had to program over 20 reports, in order to extract the information we need in a logical report. We have yet to find a way to extract a parts kitting report for the various configurations of our product and are now resorting to exporting data to an Excel spreadsheet with several macros.

I just recently started using it so I have limited knowledge of the product. But what I have used, I do like and think it is easy to navigate through. It is intuitive on the functionality. I am sure as I learn more I will be very happy with the product and the output.
