    It integrates fully with the other Microsoft software we use daily, and this coordination speeds up our work and gives us the agility to run easily. For example, in a purchase inquiry, the customer, after submitting a request, identifies the teams that should work on the project, and if they need further review by other people, they are added to the process, and everything is managed seamlessly rather than the sales process. Get the result as fast as possible.

    Great for automating dunning letters and standard customer communications. Great for dashboards for the collections teams. Easy to manage reporting that syncs with our in-house ERP, NetSuite. Senior management can review the dashboard to monitor overall performance. Can be hard to maintain a separate login for another ERP system.

    Pros
    Discontinued Products
    • Microsoft Dynamics AX's scalability to meet our regional office needs provide flexibility to the team's requirements.
    • Combined with Citrix Xenapp, the application offers seamless access for users on high latency unreliable network connection to the application.
    • Application maintenance and updates are easy which makes it possible for us to manage remotely considering the servers are located in a remote Asia site.

    • Self serve and easy access to customer documents
    • provides a full audit of all collection notes for any invoice in a single repository of data
    • Allows your collection team to become more proactive on issues than reactive - the automated services Quadient offers remove a lot of the manual human tasks

    Cons
    Discontinued Products
    • MRP can be slow to adapt to changes in actual production or supply chain transactions.
    • Setting up number sequences seems a trivial matter, but these numbers ID transactions once they are in the ledger and are key--easy to miss this point in the implementation process.
    • Bank rec being easily automated and able to quickly plug into a bank back end to get data is not the best.
    • Payment processing can be 'clunky' based on checks, ACH, Wires...as some of these items are not triggered out of the box in AX, bur are easily added --talking ACH and Wires specifically.

    Yay Pay has saved a lot of time. Integrates the billing and invoicing departments and is helpful to the revenue team to track customers and timing of payments. The AR and billing teams can share information with others and allows sharing of information that previously was hard to manage. Yay Pay integrates very well with Net Suite

    Overall the product does what we need it to do in order for us to function as a company. While there are some concerns over ongoing costs, the belief is, once we have it fully acclimated to our business the cost should settle into alignment with our original expectations. The new features that are consistently being added do add value to the product as they are usually customer request directed.

    I love the usability, the way the information is divided is very well though out and it flows nicely. The only thing I would point out is that sometimes the search engine show no results and when I know that cannot be correct, I refresh the page and the information shows up. It would be nice if if the connection is not good or the website is not sure if the information is correct, it would tell me, not say it is not there

    We use a 3rd-party Microsoft Partner for the system. They are responsive and very knowledgeable. While costs have been mentioned several times in this review they are very aware of costs and have developers who are more economical they use to help offset the level of work required to meet our changes and fix our issues.

    Some rough spots, but ultimately worked out. The contract didn't appear to be structured to support the level of overlapping facility deployments required to meet timeline commitments. Merging cultures on the program was also challenging. Overall, not an easy implementation by any stretch. Everyone did the best they could.

    I was not part of the decision making process to select Microsoft Dynamics AX, however, I do know that an exhaustive search was done and many options were considered alongside Microsoft Dynamics AX and I feel that the right decision was made in choosing this solution.

    Very similar to Tesorio - more cost effective but less savvy in forecasting piece. Quadient customer service is A+. Much more functional workflow capability than NetSuite

    • With the robust built-in reporting we were able to drop an external reporting platform that costed about $40,000.
    • API integrations have saved manual entry and reduced having to hire 2-3 people to manage data.
    • Several administrators and developers are required for this which costs about 200-300 thousand in employee costs.
