May 21, 2019 5.0 Overall the support my company has received has been fantastic! \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] always goes above and beyond what is required. The team at SDS has always treated our company very well. They listen to what we need and shows us how to do what we need done. The SDS team is always up to the challenge in ensuring we have what we need and creating a solution if one does not yet exist. The lay out for the system is very pleasing to my likes and has all the features without all the clutter. Having this program has really made our company more efficient and productive. SDS is highly recommended! Pros Support Value Ease of use Many plug ins to make life easy Regular updates Videos to show you how to do tasks Easy to learn Cons That it took a while to locate a all in one program for my small business. Review Source TL TOM L. Associate Managing Director Consumer Goods Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Why can't all software be like this ?" March 1, 2017 5.0 This software fitted our company perfectly. It's easy to use and saves you so much time. SDS4 is easy on the eye and is a software programme you want to work with just by looking at it. Since using SDS4 we have seen an upturn is revenue, efficiency and a drastic decrease in RMA's and returns. We looked at countless software packages that were all "ok" but SDS4 blew us away from the very first demo. If you are looking for distribution software for the Electronics Industry look no further than SDS4. Pros Great to look at Quick order processing (1 click order processing) Gives managers control with easy access controls Authorisation order processing ISO ready Great value for money Easy to use Easy to learn Complete financial control Regular updates sometimes daily Review Source AD Alex D. FD Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "DO NOT SIGN UP OR PAY FOR A RENEWAL" December 10, 2024 2.0 Left us with no support. We moved to Dashing Distribution Software and we have never been happier. Software is better, more cutting edge and is actually cheaper. Plus we get grade A+ customer service www.dashingdisty.com Pros Software used to be ok. No support anymore Cons Run by one person who has no customer support and will leave you without a system Review Source BP Bjoern P. President Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Just awesome!" September 27, 2016 5.0 Pros Where do I begin. After years of searching for the perfect ERP solution for my electronic component distribution business I finally came across SDS4 Distribution. I literally have been searching for a solution like this for years. We have tried 4 other solutions but SDS BY FAR exceeds all we have used - from functionality, to ease of use, to stability of the program - it's top notch. Unlike many other software solutions SDS4 Distribution is windows-based and has a similar feel to Outlook. It can easily be customized and it's processes are very easy to learn. I called my rep and he promptly took almost 3 hours (!) out of his day to demo the software. Support has been just awesome. After initial install a dedicated account rep is assigned to you for all requests. My rep constantly follows up to make sure all is running well. If you need assistance on the fly, contact one of their reps on Skype and your questions will be addressed immediately. We have been using SDS4 Distribution for the last 6 months and are absolutely thrilled with its capabilities! Cons Nothing. Wish I would have found SDS4 Distribution sooner! Review Source JC John C. Owner Consumer Goods Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Best Software I have ever used. User friendly, tons of applications, customizable and great support." January 26, 2018 5.0 He is one hard worker. he has gone out of his way to make sure my software install has gone perfectly. He spent 10 plus hours making sure things have gone right with my software install and also gave me tons of tips on how to generate business. Super happy with SDS commitment to my company, which Ben played a huge role in. Pros Overall Satisfaction is Excellent. the support team at SDS have been going above and beyond to walk me through every step in transitioning to SDS4. Pleased with the price. Though, only practice was in training, still- Software is particularly user-friendly. Agent stayed on the phone for training until 8:00 PM during my acquainting of SDS. Can tell he is really a great guy. I have and will continue to recommend Superior Development Systems (SDS) and SDS4 to all colleagues. Review Source NO Nathalie O.

Controller Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Simple and Effecient" March 20, 2017 5.0 Since switching to SDS over two years ago we have saved so much time on little things. Our company is in a better place today because of SDS. Pros The ability to look for parts and see where we got them from and from who at what cost right at our fingers makes this software worth every penny. Cons We have nothing negative to say about SDS. The tech support system is always available and we love the interface. Review Source KL KENNETH L. PURCHASING Consumer Goods Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Very easy to use" March 10, 2017 5.0 I would recommend this to everyone Pros Everything about it from purchasing to invoicing to emailing to accounting. This is one of the best software. Cons There is nothing wrong with this software. There is nothing wrong with this software.There is nothing wrong with this software. Review Source AC Adam C. Managing Director Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "No real support" April 29, 2019 3.0 We went to SDS as we wanted to move away from our current unsupported software. We were led to believe that SDS had a team of people to support their software. It turns out there is only one person, and he can be very difficult to deal with, and will go off the grid for weeks at a time. Pros Decent functionality, suited to our industry. Cons Very poor response, customer service and support. Review Source KM Kevin M. President Consumer Goods Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Amazing product at an affordable rate" May 4, 2018 5.0 Pros better tracking of sales, purchasing, accounting and every other business need for small businesses Cons that I had to wait 17 years to find it, I was using another program that didn't do nearly as much for way more money Review Source KJ Kyle J. President Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Game Changer" March 17, 2017 5.0 I recommend this system to everyone. It has been a game changer for my business. Pros Very user friendly , easy to access everything , great customer service Larry and Dan are very easy going and very helpful Cons just learning a new system and flow of SDS4 was the only CON, but once you learn the flow of SDS4 it becomes very easy. Review Source PC Peter C. Account Manager Consumer Goods Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The preeminent CRM software for electronic distributors " March 24, 2017 5.0 I have used the other software out there and its no where near as quick or reliable. Off the shelf it suits our industry quite well but the team was able to tailor it specifically to our needs. Possibly the most integral tool I rely on daily to turn a profit, brokering is information driven so quick access to relevant data is key. Pros All Cons None Review Source GC George C. IT manager Import and Export Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Good Software without credibility and integrity" March 5, 2019 1.0 We wanted to purchase 95 user licence and paid for 6 before finalising the purchase, and even paid 9000 more. Since product is not supported by organisation we didn't fell secure to purchase remaining licence. Even though we paid/own 6 licence, but in our surprise their right been revoked with out our knowledge. it was proof to our prediction, we could be hostage in hand of SDS4 specially after going live. It was bitter experience but we paid high price for the lesson to be learn. Just I can state the fact and live the decision to you all. Pros Easy to use and it has some good Function Cons Support, it is run by person not organisation, no sense of security.
