24SevenOffice vs. Global Shop Solutions ERP

I would say if you have a staff that's already experienced in the 24SevenOffice program that would be best. People who are brand new to it will have too much time ramping up and training. Also, you'd better have a rock-solid network infrastructure if you want success with this program. A business with less tech-savvy workers just wouldn't work.

We've run Global Shop Solutions ERP in several different business models and all of them have worked well. Repair: this is primarily customer supplied material, always new situations that are assessed AFTER the product arrives. Job Shop: These jobs are less guesswork, but still different every time. Engineering BOM's: These are a lot of assembly, less machining, but a huge amount of work in setting up the BOM's. Repeat Jobs: There are slight variations, but the overall process remains the same for all parts. In all 4 business situations Global Shop Solutions ERP has been able to meet the need, albeit differently. This is the strongest indicator that Global Shop Solutions ERP will work in MOST situations. Their flexibility makes everything possible.

• Excellent UI that is easy to use. All features are a breeze.
• Because of the depth at which it has data, it can be used very well.
• Its integration with other ERP software is also possible for better analysis.

Incentivized

• The fact that it is always live and updating constantly is very helpful to our processes.
• The cross-module integration is seamless, allowing for what has been done in one department to populate into the fields of another screen quickly.
• I cannot say enough about the support team both through the 800 number and through our CI Manager, and the weekly "Friday Features" learning opportunities. If you don't learn the system it is because you have not put forth any effort whatsoever.

• Unfortunately, usability is a major issue at times. I hear complaints about dropped network traffic, and it's not our infrastructure.
• The interface is confusing. We have to train new employees with a lot of detailed instructions which shouldn't be necessary.
• We have had to pay for any support on the above issues.

• When releasing new screens, they are not complete and you end up using the legacy screens instead of fully integrating to a new screen
• when they release hot patches, we usually end up with more things to fix and were fixed in the hot patch.

I would rate Global Shop Solutions ERP’s overall usability an 8 out of 10. The system is very capable and flexible once properly configured, but it does have a learning curve and some parts of the interface and navigation can feel a bit dated or complex for new users. Overall, after initial training and setup, it supports daily work efficiently and reliably, which is why it deserves a high score

While I'm able to handle most service questions from my users, if I'm not available, calling GSS is typically a 10-15 minute call and the problem is solved for them. I am a super user of GSS because I'm the ERP manager and I have been using it for over 10 years. With that said, if I reach out to service, it's a BIG problem. I appreciate that even in those instances GSS is quick to grab data and get me off the phone to research it on their own. If it's a problem stopping work, they're all hands on deck to get us back running, but in most instances, I don't need that. I need them to investigate, find a fix, and get back to me while I'm able to keep working on other things. They are very good at not wasting my time and for that, I really appreciate them.

24SevenOffice has its own pros and cons just like any other software. It is a great software for an organization to do project management or financial management. It stacks up very competitively against others and is probably in the top 3. the UI that is offered by this software surpasses all the others that I have used and/or mentioned above. It is a breeze to understand most parts of the software by yourself. I think in terms of support there could be some improvement that can be possible and will result in much better feedback from its clients. Overall I give it a great rating in terms of usability and capability to handle the majority of business management, project management, and financial management features.

We moved to Global Shop Solutions ERP from Visual. Even though the table structure in Visual was easier to learn, we gained a lot more visibility into things with Global Shop Solutions ERP. Visual was difficult to customize, you were required to use the consultant they assigned you, and anything not done by that contractor was not warrantied. With Global Shop Solutions ERP you have a ton of consultants to choose from, the pricing for them is very reasonable, and they are available readily. In our experience, Oracle was...horrible. I think if you have the need to take control of your ERP and be able to make changes on your own, Global Shop Solutions ERP is the only choice.

• We were using a fairly similar program from an ROI perspective previously so I can't say it's had a big effect.
• That said the network issues represent lost hours/money.
• The added training is also expensive.

Incentivized

• See instantly all information for part number, sales history, customer info, makes phone calls easy instead of having to say, let me look into that and get back to you
• Save money on purchasing goods, see history, now inventory levels, helps make sure we don't run out of items
