Genius Solutions vs. Global Shop Solutions ERP

Genius is great for analysis data using Microsoft products like Power BI or Excel as it links directly to them. Genius has also helped the work flow of our company a lot by streamlining processes. One process that helps our company a lot is the ability to print all work orders and fabrication/assembly plans in their batch printing module. Printing these would take up to five hours per assembly in Quickbooks and it now takes 10 minutes.

We have already met with three companies in our region and hosted them for several hours to see how we utilize Global Shop Solutions ERP in our daily work. This speaks to our satisfaction with the software, as well as our ongoing commitment to the notion that if you want to learn something well, learn to teach it. We have a great group of users here who participate in the weekly Friday Features and who try to utilize all of the modules to their full effect to benefit not only individual workflows, but to help the entire company output. It is well suited in our experience for manufacturing. That is the only scenario where we have experience or where we feel we can make a judgement call.

Genius is easy to use but you have to male sure it's set up properly. You also have to make sure you understand what an ERP should do to know the right questions to ask when you contact customer support.

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
