    If you are a big company and have an active accountant then this system can be for you, it has many options but you need dedication. But the price starts from €39 and then you are not there...Most of the time you need other options to make it complete. Like ERP functions + €199~ want to book hours? +€129. And this is all per month... It goes up so fast that it's not interesting for small companies. When there are better options on the market that are even free...

    Overall management of companies operations including sales, inventory control, warehousing, accounting (ar, ap, and gl). We are able to take a customers order, provide information if the product is in stock, send the order to the warehouse, pick the order, deliver the order using our custom routing program built inside SX.e, invoice the order upon receiving shipping feedback, and then collecting payment within SX.e. We also use SX.e for our purchasing of products from our vendors, tracking the products, entering the products into inventory, and then updating each location with the current inventory. We also are able to track pricing and vendor rebates as well as special price adjustments within SX.e.

    Cons
    Exact Software
    • Support... It's bad, and when you want to stop or step back it's near impossible.
    • Price, they tend to increase it without warning, and with all the extras it goes up fast.
    • If you wanna spend all your time in accounting buy Exact... It can be complex and many handlings needs to be done.

    It is very customizable and has lots of scalabilities. However, it can get out of control if not contained with proper business process control.

    I would not select Exact Online, but I can direct you to better options. Due to the high price, getting behind the competition and support I would suggest options like Zoho Books for you bookings, or CyberStockroom as ERP. And here in the Netherlands e-boekhouden.nl is a real nice, cheap, and fast working booking platform for the smaller companies.

    SXe fit our distribution model and it allowed us to customize it to our specific needs that were not available in the other solutions. The 3rd party integration was also a nice benefit as we use multiple solutions that were not part of the SXe Suite.

    Return on Investment
    Exact Software
    • Negative: High costs and implement time turned 1 client in to the negative, and after 2 years of use wants to stop.
    • Positive: Once an ERP connection is running you can automate a lot in the process.
