Datacor ERP Reviews

Our company likes the system and the capability to make requests for system changes. Somethings, like reporting, allows us to be able to change report parameters or completely build new ones via Crystal Reports.

The additional costs for custom changes that would improve the system overall, but that is to be expected with the time and work that goes into some changes. The positive thing on this however is when these "custom" changes are great for other companies, these can become available to entire Datacor network.

It is becoming very modern and easier to use. It has many features and offerings with more coming soon.

All systems have shortcomings and most if not all can be overcome. Internal processes should change to work with systems not expect systems to change to fit each user/company. Changes can be made if the system does not have a way to accomplish the need.

Great ERP system, Has everything you need out of the box. Customizations are also a plus with this software! Customer support is also excellent.

Some limitations on customizations that would improve the software.

The capabilities it provides in terms of accounting and reporting all aspects of our business operations.

There are limited controls built in and some screens are hard to read.

The vast amount of modules availab@e, really not a need for 3rd party software

There seems to be a lack of intuitive interfaces.

The portals, Barcoding (WMS), consistently moving forward with new features.

Development issues, we are still on V6 for some modules.

This software is easy to use, versatility in all the functions that provided by default, support is efficiently, communication allow to know new and improved functions.

Do not manage inventory for Catch Weight for the Food Division.

It's generally functionality is fail proof.

Customer service is long wait times, some of the random process issues

The software is flexible enough to be able to fit our business.

Interoperability with other software. Being able to automatically exchange data between systems.

We have a long history with Datacor ERP with both ups and downs but at the end of the day Datacor stands behind us.

Datacor's support is the weakest link for our company and our users. At the time of this review it is being re-organized and hopefully that will help with some of the issues.

I think one of the most useful features is the data audit trailing. I also find that the integration with other software is great like Datacor's CRM.

I feel like the pricing is slightly clunky. Part of it is due to the nature of our company and the way we use the pricing, but it makes it hard to find all pricing in one place no matter what type it is. Having separate price books makes culminating pricing slightly cumbersome. I also find the quoting system to be slightly clunky. Again part of it is because of the way we use the pricing feature, but I think there are ways to improve it.

That it is designed for Chemical Distributors & Manufacturers, this means the software helps us operate the business but also comply with the applicable government regulations.

It would have been nice for existing customers give feedback / suggestions on the screen layouts in the .NET version. Some are difficult to navigate / scroll and view all the required information at one time.

The latest version of Datacor ERP VB.Net is a great improvement over the years and has made my job so much more effective. Everything is at my fingertips and is very intuitive to the user. The Help Menu and Datacor University are excellent tools and have been very useful for our teams.

If you are not on SQL - it can get bogged down and error out if you have a lot of historical data.

It is one system that does everything we need to successfully run our business. We are both a manufacturer and distributor and the system handles both.

We are not fully utilizing the software but, have every intention of fully implementing all the optional features in the future. The cost of the optional features is the only thing delaying our implementation.

Accounting module works pretty well, as well as the manufacturing, inventory and order entry module.
The implementation was relatively simple and smothly.

The weaknesses of this software are the production planning which is not developed enough for our application to be useable, the preventive maintenance module which is very very rudimentary and finally the standards reports from the system, are not user friendly and their concision not validated .

Chempax offers a complete solution to your chemical accounting needs. The software is specific to the Chemical Industry thus requiring less customization. Most of the features we desired in an Accounting software was already available. One of my favorite features is the Batch Manufacturing module with the Quality Control features. We eliminated hand written QC manufacturing logs.

There is nothing that I don't like about the Chempax software. It was the best software purchase we ever made.

The name is cute: Chempax. Low cost but then we get less than what we paid for.

Purchase Order/PO Receipt/Supplier Invoice/Aged Payables/Select Invoices To Pay/Print Checks/Customer Service.

Chempax customer service have all the patience to solve anything that you may concern and there technical support group are so knowledgeable about there product and all of its features so you can easily install and implement it properly.

I don't think you might call this a cons , but We are going \to purchase a new server so We are hoping for a lesser cost rather than spending the same price on our last purchase.
