M1, from ECI Software Solutions headquartered in Ft. Worth, is an all-in-one manufacturing ERP software solution, built for small and medium-sized discrete manufacturers.
With Intuit Enterprise Suite we have learned how to move some of our manual spreadsheets into the system to keep better track and get better numbers with. Things like Inventory, and Fixed Assets. The training has been great, they have numerous webinars and meetings that help us better understand Intuit Enterprise Suite.
The M1 ERP is tailored for small to medium organizations, offering good features at least in the components utilized by my organization such as customizable workflows, user-friendly dashboards, ability to process orders, and track the entire orders lifecycle. It also has good customer interaction features in the CRM part. It provides robust data security, and offers scalable modules to grow with your business. Implementation is not challenging if you don't have so many customizations in the software.
It tracks all payments to all vendors, so if any questions arise, it's easy to find the answer.
It tracks employee hours worked, holiday hours, and other paid time off, including vacations. It also tracks bonuses and employee profile information, including hire dates, contact information, Social Security, and Federal withholding details.
At the end of the year, all of our financial transactions can be summarized for our accountants so our tax returns can be prepared.
Some of the functions are pretty detailed - and so they take a while to generate screens and pages in reports.
We actually use it for 2 companies we own - and it would be nice if the inter company communication was a little smoother. It's hard to share some data, and not everything is possible to be shared.
Customized reports need to backed up before any updates to M1 or they're lost. It seems M1 overwrites the report folders everytime you run an update - so you have to keep track of what you've changed in Crystal Reports and restore it.
Because I love the software and the people behind it are passionate about building the features to support business growth. They have built so many features I have asked for and it gets better and better
I have worked with other accounting software products and nothing compares to the ease of Intuit Enterprise Suite because it is easy to learn and to train and there are multiple ways and shortcuts to use to get to certain areas within the software.
Because it would be helpful if ECI would provide better documentation, communication and workflows to understand how each field interacts within the system and how each of those touch other areas within M1. It would also be useful if ECI would provide prescheduled training for how to customize things with M1 through Design Studio
Excellent. I am the first Lighthouse customer and I see first hand that their team cares, they care about not just the features but about their customers and their success. They truly want their customers to succeed
I have personal experience with both and believe that Intuit is the best option. Microsoft (and most of their products) are riddled with issues and limit productivity. Netsuite has a lot of customization options, but takes a long time to deal with and is much more expensive for the same things
M1 is light years ahead in overall cost and proficiency. It allows so much more control and flexibility as compared to its competitors. When choosing M1 we went through many demos and M1 was the only ERP that met our needs and still does. We also control our own data which is a big plus for us.
Overall our experience has been great - easy and smooth onboarding process
Better support experience has surprised and delighted the team in ways I wasn't really expecting
I like it more than I expected I would - the convenience of having it all in one place and being able to toggle through entities is really a major improvement
