Alexandria POS vs. ERPLY

For any school district I would highly recommend it.

ERPLY is really great for POS ERP system, it has wonderful mobile interface. It lacks in the more in-depth needs of international, multi-channel business. If you are a local store or a store with multiple locations in 1 country with on-site 1 location sales this will work. For a company that works in different countries, has back orders, has multiple Amazon and e-commerce site integrations, this is less suited to your needs.

• Cloud hosting. Only has gone down once and was back up in a matter of hours. Updates are applied automatically.
• Easy to use from the librarian side. Little help or training is needed.
• Support is very helpful and approachable when issues arrive.

Incentivized

• POS system and reporting
• Ease of use and trusted use for customers and clients

• Cost is pretty high.
• Some settings are difficult to locate, had to call tech support to find them.

• They were not able to adapt to help us with backorder reports, export function they created for us never worked properly and ultimately they were unable to fix.
• In our accounts, we ship to different countries from the same stock, these countries have different ecomm sites, they were unable to integrate with more than one ecomm site, requiring us to manually put in the second site orders which was hugely time consuming.
• We invested a lot of money and time without progress. We found it difficult to work with their engineers overseas even our UK team couldn't connect with them and in the US we found our NY rep without answers.

Stripe may be better for internet and virtual focused sales, while ERPLY shines with their POS system and reader for physical transactions and sales. Stripe has never offered us a physical card reader and the customer support for ERPLY seems to be great and well-versed in the few times we have needed help to set something up. ERPLY is best suited amongst competitions for its ease of use, attractive marketing and branding, and that it just plain works without a headache

Incentivized

• Cloud hosting has enabled an offsite backup of our library inventory.

Incentivized

• We put a lot of money and time into developing custom reports with their off shore team that never worked.
• They were inexpensive way for us to test integrating ecommerce sites to our ERP system.
• They provided a decent, basic accounting module that enabled us to save on investing in separate accounting software.
