Director of Operations Apparel & Fashion Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Momentis & NTD" October 1, 2021 5.0 Momentis ERP & APGL provides NTD the data required to make successful decisions everyday. Whether Inventory, EDI, Costing or Purchasing, Momentis Fashion Systems provides clear and accurate reporting to all users. It's ease of use allows all users to onboard quickly and use Momentis manage their day to day operations. The integration of Shopify and Shipstation provides our Ecomm operations a significant competitive advantage. Pros Ease of use, Ability to not require any outside ERP software, everything in 1 connected system. Cons Crystal Reports, the old school screens on certain modules, ie invoicing. Review Source OR Omar R. Director of IT Apparel & Fashion Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Apparel Business Systems was the right choice" June 1, 2023 5.0 Based on my previous experiences with several ERPs, the ABS team's exceptional responsiveness and helpfulness have been invaluable. Their deep understanding of our business processes and requirements surpasses what other ERP providers could have provided. Pros Our decision to choose ABS over NetSuite was based on several factors that highlighted the advantages of ABS. One key aspect was the user-friendliness of ABS, making it easy for our team to adapt to and utilize effectively. The seamless integration of ABS with our existing business processes was another compelling factor. The system's compatibility and simplicity facilitated a smooth transition, ensuring minimal disruptions and a quicker adoption of the solution. This ease of integration saved time and effort, allowing our organization to focus on core operations rather than dealing with complex customizations or extensive training. By prioritizing user-friendliness and seamless integration, ABS demonstrated its ability to enhance operational efficiency and align with our specific business needs, reinforcing its suitability as the chosen ERP solution. Cons We find the reporting features in ABS to be adequate, but not exceptionally advanced, which prompted us to integrate the Diver Platform as our chosen Business Intelligence solution. Alternatives considered [NetSuite](https://www.capterra.com/p/135757/NetSuite/) Reason for choosing Aptean Fashion & Apparel After careful evaluation of different Enterprise Resource Planning solutions, we have chosen ABS over NetSuite due to several key factors. Firstly, the ABS solution is more cost-effective compared to NetSuite. Additionally, ABS offers an easier setup process, allowing for a smoother implementation without requiring extensive time and resources. ABS caters specifically to the needs of the apparel industry, providing industry-specific features and functionalities, whereas NetSuite requires customization to align with our business requirements. With ABS, you eliminate the need to involve other third-party companies, simplifying the vendor landscape and streamlining support and maintenance processes. Review Source KL Khimson L. It admin Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Comprehensive ERP Solution" August 17, 2026 4.0 Aptean Apparel ERP Momentis Edition is a specialized ERP solution that provides strong functionality for apparel and fashion companies. It does a good job of bringing inventory, sales, purchasing, production, and distribution information together in one system. The software can be complex to learn and may require knowledgeable administrators for customization and support, but once properly configured, it can be a valuable tool for managing apparel operations. Pros Designed specifically for apparel and fashion businesses Strong tools for managing inventory, orders, purchasing, and production Helps connect sales, manufacturing, and distribution processes Provides useful visibility into inventory and order status Supports complex apparel product structures, including styles, colors, and sizes Can improve efficiency by centralizing business information Cons Can have a significant learning curve for new users Interface can feel dated compared with newer cloud applications Customization and configuration may require specialized knowledge Reporting can require additional setup Implementation and training can take time Review Source LA Lisa A. Chief Revenue Officer Consumer Goods Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Does this functionality exist? One may never know." February 23, 2022 1.0 Pros Unfortunately, I would be hard pressed to identify something that we like about this software. Cons While we have a laundry list of pain points with Exenta, what would be at the top of the "least" category is the level of customer support that is available from the Exenta team. The system is counterintuitive making our team, regardless of experience level, reliant on the Exenta team for guidance on processes, functionality, optimization, etc. We have requested one-on-one training on multiple occasions in which our staff, including our IT team, has been left with more questions and confusion than answers. When system functionality issues have been identified and support is requested, multiple emails and phone calls are required prior to any assistance being given regardless of the impact to our business. When we have escalated to higher management, improvements have been made however these have been short lived with no lasting improvement. At this point, we continue to use this program simply because we have invested a significant amount of time and resources in customizing it to meet our needs however, without immediate improvement in the level of service that we are provided, we will be cutting ties and finding more adequate solutions elsewhere.

Another Plus is Support is Great! I personally work with \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] a lot and he is always helpful and understands the system with and the world of Manufacturing. Pros Products Features and ease of use have helped improve our ability to monitor and control our Production/Quality/Cost Evaluations Cons I can't say I dislike anything about the product Switched from [Foxfire WMS](https://www.capterra.com/p/81928/Foxfire-WMS/) Wanted something more up to date with lots of monitoring options.

Bugs taking years to fix and in some cases never fixed. New releases were difficult to install and never worked. New EDI mappings took forever to implement. Any enhancements would take forever, Review Source Response from Aptean August 17, 2021 Chris, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of Exenta! BH Bobby H. IT Apparel & Fashion Used the software for: 2+ years ### "ABS and what it means to Steel Grip Inc." May 2, 2023 5.0 We were seeing an overall bottleneck in production that seemed to be getting a bit worse with time. ABS has changed the game for us. We are constantly improving/analyzing our business processes to more align with the ABS software, and it most definitely pays off in every aspect.As we progress through cleaning up our process internally and incorporating more and more of our day to day operations directly into ABS we see an immediate improvement to both production and efficiency.Another issue we were having is being able to have our data "visible" to the management team. It was very difficult to query information prior to ABS. We now have 100's of options at our fingertips to get our data at a seconds notice. Pros ABS has been a blessing for Steel Grip. When it was first implemented aver 20 years ago we were doing most of our process by hand manually. Since then we have been through several versions of the software and with every new version we are stunned at the level of development.ABS allows for automatically handling a TON of the small tasks that can eat away at overall productivity. The software is very easy to setup, although time-consuming because of the sheer volume of options you have to set this product up EXACTLY the way you want it to handle your companies needs, pretty much no matter what that looks like.The data in the system (sales, products, inventory, etc.) is more visible and accessible than any other MRP software I've ever encountered. If there is some data you are looking for chances are if you set it correctly, there is an option to retrieve it. Cons I wish there was a better way to handle Cut-Ahead items (and Piecework in general). However, I'm under the impression that this development is in the works and we could be seeing this in the upcoming releases. Review Source iD ilan D. DIR MIS Apparel & Fashion Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Gelmart Review" July 16, 2021 4.0 Over the past 10 years the overall experience had been really good. Centralizing all the data into one system has been extremely helpful with the exception of the financials. We had some system issues on speed which have recently been addresses and resolved. I am sure there are more features that can be launched or utilized so constant communication is important. Yearly seminar is helpful to see what has changed but I think features need to be communicated more frequently. Pros When we initially purchased the software it gave us an all in one system with the exception of financials. We had a full blown operation so the fact that we had WMS integrated was awesome. System was pretty much easy to adapt to for most users. Easy interface and ability to limit users to modules they need. Reporting is good with the exception of some highly advanced reporting. Users want to run one report to obtain data and not several and have to put them together. Integration from a home grown 30 year old AS400 system was pretty good! Cons I think more top level reporting would be helpful or advanced reporting. We still pull multiple reports and have to combine them outside of Exenta. We need to work with your CS to see if any reports can actually do what we need as an all in one. We have looked to integrate with some external partners especially on the logistics side. When reviewing pricing was quite high for developing API's needed and all. Alternatives considered [BlueCherry](https://www.capterra.com/p/2895/BlueCherry/) Reason for choosing Aptean Fashion & Apparel WMS was included at a reasonable cost. Review Source Response from Aptean August 17, 2021 ilan, Thank you for taking the time to review Exenta! TM Tamiko M. Accounting Manager Apparel & Fashion Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Steel Grip Accounting Review" May 11, 2023 5.0 We are a unique case in that ABS was highly customized for us when we implemented it over 20 years ago. We recently updated to v16. By changing some of our processes to align with the ABS functions, out capabilities to manage and report have grown exponentially. Pros Most screens are easy to use. Navigation between screens is streamlined. It is nice to be able to toggle between two or more screens without exiting a screen. I love that we can pull up and print our own reports. Cons I would like to see more reporting options that are standard. I understand that nitro files can be downloaded and formatted but when there is a report consistently used, it would be nice to have that as a standard option. I would also like to see the GL auto update every day rather than me having to manually update through GL04. Review Source LK Louise K. SENIOR TECHNICAL DESIGNER Apparel & Fashion Used the software for: 2+ years ### "NOT the worst, but not the best PLM software..." November 12, 2021 3.0 I used RLM in my previous position at another company. We started by using the back end functions for the production team then added the front end functions for the product development teams. I used it for 4 years and was the one who set up all of the graded templates for all of the different categories and size scales. I was pretty happy with the sales/support team. They were helpful with the training a later as problems arose. Pros The best thing about RLM is that it has front end functions (product development, design, fit process, costing) as well as back end functions (ordering fabric, bulk fabric inventory, creating purchase orders, managing finished inventory, shipping). They're compatible and you are able to limit all of that data entry that you would need to do if they were separate. Also, all of your company's style info is stored in one place. Cons Building out the graded templates was soooo time consuming and the process was cumbersome. You had to go through a lot of steps to get it saved, it was an easier process using other programs. Review Source MK Michael K. Director, PMO Apparel & Fashion Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Apparel ERP Definitely Worth Considering" October 11, 2021 5.0 The integrations we've done, especially with eCommerce and PLM, will make us far more efficient and eliminate redundant work. Working with Momentis as a company has been an excellent experience. They have a deep bench with a strong understanding of apparel. We went live on time and on budget even during Covid-19. They have truly been a partner committed to our success. Pros Momentis is a significant upgrade from our prior legacy system. We are now fully integrated with our eCommerce platform, PLM, EDI, ShipStation, FedEx, UPS, and soon our Point-of-Sale and suppliers via the Vendor Web App (vendor portal). Sales Web App and iOS Sales Web App have been in use for two selling seasons by both our in-house and outside sales teams. An important capability was to be able to enter orders remotely in offline mode with no internet connection. Lastly, having Power BI and the suite of pre-developed dashboards is something we look very forward to exploring in depth. Cons Auto-invoicing is not as seamless as we would like. While we like the sales web apps, some requested upgrades underway will make entering orders more efficient. Reason for choosing Aptean Fashion & Apparel Features and functionality, industry experience, quality and depth of the Momentis team. Review Source JM John M. Web Development & IT Manager Apparel & Fashion Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Do not recommend" February 23, 2022 1.0 We have realized Exenta cannot support a fast-growing business. They have hindered progress on many initiatives due to lack of support and slow communications. Pros It has a lot of shiny features that they market to you Cons Every single process is convoluted. The software architecture is extremely dated. There is no API integration. Every single customization is expensive. Support is slow and unhelpful. They provide no documentation.

IS Manager Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The best out of all the ERP I've worked with" December 7, 2022 5.0 Pros Have been using ABS for quite some time now, and I must say their support staff is one of the best out of all the ERP software I have work with. Their very knowledgeable not only about their product but also the overall flow of supply chain process. Having a small IT team within our company, ABS has continued to provide support when we needed them most and help resolve our issues and challenges on a timely manner.When customization is needed for our specific business needs, ABS has provided guidance and how the software can be configured without customization and more importantly the best approach when customization is needed.We are in the process of implementing their Warehouse Management System and looking forward to it. Cons Would like to have the session closed when users closes their browser as record locks seems to be happening frequently. Review Source MD Miguel D.

After updates something always breaks and we get charged for fixing them. expensive support we get charged for fixing software errors. Issues occur and do not get resolved. if we had an issues we get charged for a TAN?
