### "Exacore Review" — 4.0/5

> **Kevin** | *09 January 2023* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: We started our company when we had almost no processes in place and Bellwether was a critical component for issuing purchase orders for our projects.  We did not utilize all of the features that were available, but the software was very helpful.
> 
> **Cons**: Our company decided to go with another ERP system rather than Bellwether for reasons related to familiarity of another system with our finance team.  There was not much from a purchasing side of things that was not meeting our needs.
> 
> I enjoyed working with Tammy and the Bellwether team.  Very responsive and understood what we needed to work asap and it was a great support for our company.
