Decimal points for pricing items

May 23rd, 2023 • Product Experience: 1-2 years • Role: End User

It’s good. Whatever the requirements we had, it gets it done. The feature this offered that others didn’t was the use of decimal points for pricing our items. Other software didn’t have this. Aquilon is also Canadian-based too. Support is okay. It’s not the greatest. I’ve used other ERP software before and their support is way better. It was reasonably priced. Overall though, in terms of capabilities offered, the program is solid.

Pros

Decimal points for pricing items,

Easy to use, great set of features

November 13th, 2015 • Roles: Purchaser & End User

It is easy to use and supports all of your financial operations. You will have full financial control and the data for comprehensive analysis. You will have all of your financial data in one simple app. Balance sheets, trial balances, financial reports, account statements, profit analysis and much more. The implementation is easy and they will give you great support until everything is all set up.

Pros

Easy to use, great set of features, could be synched with CRM softwares in the cloud which was really important to us

Cons

It is dependent on the status of the server farm, which I'm not sure is a con. Other than that I have nothing so far.
