Once I had set it all up and learned approximately the program I was able to adjust it to our needs very effectively. Cons As it were thing I'm lost is plausibility to open modern work arrange specifically from the one which I fair did and not through primary menu. Minor thing but would spare few seconds of my time Review Source Response from Manu Online July 19, 2021 Hi Yonathan, thank you for the kind words.

Have a great day! JG Jane G. Business Systems Manager Wholesale Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Simple, robust, cost effective software" January 24, 2023 4.0 Good robust software supported by a responsive, knowledgeable team. I requested a couple of bespoke changes that were quoted & actioned quickly & efficiently. Pros It's simplicity. Very easy to deploy. Test environment available. Lots of good features, FIFO costing, good traceability, everything can be exported to Excel for analysis. Integrates well with our FD's preffered financial software package - Xero. Good responsive support. Excellent value for money. Cons Can't think of anything! We run a very simple model, all catered for by Manuonline. Alternatives considered [Megaventory](https://www.capterra.com/p/129530/Megaventory/)[Unleashed](https://www.capterra.com/p/126644/Unleashed/) Reason for choosing Manu Online It had all the functionality we required, was cloud based, cost effective, easy to deploy, simple to use good demo & test environment supplied. Review Source Response from Manu Online January 27, 2023 Hi Jane, Thank you very much for this review! As we are always striving to deliver the best possible service to all our customers, your feedback is highly appreciated! Manu Online Team MR Mark R. Sales Director Paper & Forest Products Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A much better option to use this and Xero than Sage" June 1, 2022 3.0 Great, the guys are all easy to deal with and on the whole they will always understand what we are trying to get the system to do and they will get it there, as i have said the only down side is that some of the more basic things like changing delivery note appearance or other printouts is not really there at the moment. Pros The click and go setup works well and it wasn't all that complicated to get our heads round the basics, it was pretty much out the box setup for us, just a few hours of tinkering from the programmers at Manu. Cons There is not much you can change, the reports and printouts are all set in stone unless you want to pay for the Manu guys to adjust them, they do a great job but I would prefer to be able to make changes to these sort of things myself, also the user interface is great on the whole but it again is not really adjustable to make it more customised, we don't use half of the functions so it would be nice to be able to hide them completely and make the pages less cluttered. Alternatives considered [WorkflowMax](https://www.capterra.com/p/226306/WorkflowMax/) Reason for choosing Manu Online Cost and functionality. Switched from [Sage 50 Accounting](https://www.capterra.com/p/174753/Sage-50cloud/) Cost and to go move to a digital production management system, which is the next step we will be looking at with Manu. Review Source Response from Manu Online June 6, 2022 Hi Mark, Thank you for reviewing our service.

I hope this helps! Thank you again for choosing Manu Online! Manu Online Team MD Matthew D. CFO - Portfolio Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent system for managing manufacturing and inventory, responsive customer service + good value" June 1, 2022 5.0 Pros The system has a deep level of functionality. Manuonline has a loyal team that develop and support the software and provide first rate support. Cons Some users find the system difficult to work with at the start, but this is typically because they have been used to a very simple system like Xero. The nature of managing assembly and manufacturing means users have to work with a level of complexity and discipline. Review Source Response from Manu Online June 6, 2022 Hi Matthew, Thank you very much for the kind words! As we are always striving to deliver the best possible service to all our customers, your feedback is highly appreciated! On behalf of everyone here, thank you for choosing Manu Online! Manu Online Team! JM Josh M. Director Import and Export Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Game Changer " June 1, 2022 5.0 From the beginning, we have had no issues with Manu Online. It integrated easily into what we were previously doing and it’s connection with Xero enables us to track invoices from their initial purchase orders right through to the final invoice. Pros Manu Online enables us to run more efficiently as a business. Knowing that all of our sales and purchase orders are on one system and are linked to our inventory is invaluable. It has changed the way we work as a business and was easy to set up and implement. Cons Sometimes the reporting can be a bit hit and miss but on the second attempt everything usually works fine! Review Source Response from Manu Online June 6, 2022 Hi Josh, Thank you very much for the feedback. We appreciate it as we will always strive to deliver the best possible value for all our customers. In regards to the reporting side we are sorry to hear if there are times when you are experiencing technical issues. We can investigate that for you in order to understand if there is an internal problem. Again, thank you for choosing Manu Online! Manu Online Team JS Julia S. Managing Director Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Abysmal A spreadsheet from 1990 would be less frustrating " December 15, 2022 1.0 Frustrating Mindblowingly maddeningly awful Pros None, it drives us up the wall, truly dreadful in EVERY RESPECT Cons Hate everything about it absolutely abysmal clunky no flow at all obscure reports it’s impossible to know what the titles mean can never get the data you need in one report Reason for choosing Manu Online Because we were duped by the sales bullshit Switched from [Sage Construction Suite](https://www.capterra.com/p/154874/Sage-Construction-Suite/) Safe was never implemented properly and Sage use third parties and didn’t give a damn We needed something in a hurry and lived to absolutely regret the move Review Source DN David N. CEO Food Production Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "ukm foods" December 15, 2021 4.0 Really enjoy it i believe there is room for growth and development but i know the brilliant team they have they will get there. i would like to see like quantities on stock with values on the inventory page instead of having to go into each and every item to check stock the sales and credit features could be better. For example when you process a credit you manually have to go and raise the stock back to inventory. i would like to see an "unmanufactured" feature if you manufacture in error the support is unmatched Pros design could look cooler quite easy to use great integration with Xero Cons desired features are like quantity and costs on one dashboard in warehouse lags a bit sales side - crediting Review Source Response from Manu Online December 21, 2021 Hi David, Thank you for your feedback! We are striving to always improve therefore it your feedback is highly important. We will be actually looking to improve a few things around design and ease of use in 2022. In regards to the product quantities on stock you can see that by going to Sales > Items > Product availability tab. Hope that helps. We wish you all the best and thank you for choosing Manu Online. Manu Online Team KH Kyla H. Supply Chain Facilitator & Administrator Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good for start up businesses" December 15, 2021 5.0 As with any system the more you use it the easier it gets but you have to look for information and it can be a pain to track it down; I do find the Help Section is fairly limited. Pros Clear menu and menu paths make navigating Manu a joy after using SAP. On line training with Manu staff is very good. Cons Can be unforgiving once an item is despatched and serial numbers etc require updating. The answer always seem to be raise a customer return and start again. Information can often be hidden away on back pages and missing a tick in a box can lead to complications further down the production and manufacturing process. Reason for choosing Manu Online I came from a company that used SAP to this company that uses Manu. Manu is not a prescriptive as SAP and you do not have to set up information in the same way; is that a good thing? Not totally convinced. Review Source Response from Manu Online December 16, 2021 Hi Kyla, Thank you very much for the feedback. We are constantly working on improving the system therefore your feedback is highly important. We are working at the moment on reveling some of the information that may've been a bit hidden in the software. For instance, we have moved the Production planner on the main Production dashboard. We will also flag some of the details raised regarding dispatching and serial numbers. Again, thank you very much. Manu Online Team PC Paul C. Site & Operations Director Semiconductors Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A comprehensive ERP system for the small to medium size business" December 15, 2021 4.0 We chose ManuOnline due to a recommendation and we have not been disappointed. As a small company growing rapidly it gave us exactly the right blend of simplicity and features Pros Simple to use, powerful and good support. Cloud based so no need to worry about back-ups. Cons The fact that we could not unpick some errors and had to rely on Manu Online support to make the corrections Review Source Response from Manu Online December 17, 2021 Hi Paul, Thank you for your feedback. It is highly important as we are striving to constantly improve our service. Manu Online Team AR Aleksi R. Business Coordinator Cosmetics Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Works generally well" December 20, 2022 4.0 I cannot compare, I have not used any other similar product. Works well enough, so that there is no need to think other options. Pros Once you learn the logic, it is pretty easy to use. Cons Sometimes works slowly, some functions do not work always as they should (luckily these ones are not the critical ones). Review Source Response from Manu Online December 22, 2022 Hi Aleksi, Thank you for your feedback. This is very valuable to us as we are constantly striving to improve the system.

Sales and Support Consultant Chemicals Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Shane Review" June 28, 2023 5.0 Overall I have found using MANU a good experience, as with any new system there was some familiarization time but I now find the system very user friendly. Pros The report functionality is excellent, the data available allows us to have much greater visibility of customer orders, profit margins and performance.

Accounts/Payroll Manager Food & Beverages Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Flexible for a small company" February 15, 2021 5.0 My experience so far has been good. Once I had set it all up and learned about the program I was able to adapt it to our needs quite easily. Pros Integrates well with our accounting software and allows us to have up to date information and reminders to purchase components. Cons Having not used a program of this kind before it would have been great to have a basic training session to start that was free of charge. Reason for choosing Manu Online We choose Manu because of its pricing structure that allowed a small business to access a basic level and expanded on that as we grow. Also the integration with our accounting package - Xero. Review Source Response from Manu Online July 19, 2021 Hi Sue, thank you for the kind words.

It is in core of our daily process and business. I really can recommend it. It is simple to use and covers all the needs we have as an electronics manufacturing company. Pros Covers all the processes we need. Very easy to use and easy to learn for new users. Cons Only thing I'm missing is possibility to open new work order directly from the one which I just did and not through main menu. Minor thing but would save few seconds of my time.
