    It provides a complete real-time solution on the go, if possible. Complete with all the features. I would definitely recommend this
    to other businesses to have in their ecosystem for a complete understanding of
    cloud-based digitization of business operations. Best choice for transforming the cloud-based organization into digital transformation.

    VAI base package software has a lot of productive tools that can be used for a lot of different types of businesses. At first I was taken back by this saying it would just be more efficient if they would just build it more specific to a certain business type, but now stepping back i see why they don't. They are able to customize it more to my needs

    Cons
    Ramco Systems
    • The biggest drawback I have been facing while using the platform is that there must be no compromise on security. There is a need for a few changes in security and data control which helps businesses to trust Ramco ERP more.
    • Data migration is a bit of hard work along with the reports that are not giving expected results, which need improvements.

    • There will most likely be customizations made for a particular niche site to integrate with their system.
    • Product reviews, up sells, and cross sells are not built into the website functionality. Customization to the offerings would be needed.
    • Very little documentation or open source resources on instructions or development in regards to the website design and integration with the ERP.

    I have
    been using this software for some time where I have changed my organization
    setup with the help of Ramco ERP and it leads to being the best choice, as it has
    all the features that are needed to be the best. All the processes are very streamlined, easy to
    use, and the real-time inventory stock update is amazing.

    Often times it seems people want to learn a platform in seconds and if they can't they say it is not "user friendly." There are some platforms that can do so much that it is just going to take time to learn it all. To me that is a good thing. S2K takes time to learn but it is worth it. It can transform your organization.

    The support team is best in their respective tasks.
    They are very supportive and responsive to the messages, listen to the problem
    carefully, and provide a solution on the go. If it is not possible, they will
    respond after time with the workable solution.

    If this is someone's first ERP implementation, I strongly suggest you ask for services to help implement. Ask for training on every aspect of the implementation. Make sure this is put into the overall ERP quote

    S2K offered a system that could be used by various departments. There were modules for accounting, customer service, order entry, and web development. The ability to customize the website integration was a plus. S2K allows the option to have products in different warehouse locations. This allowed us to better manage inventory and see in real time what the stock status was

    • Sales - since all screens are real-time, S2K helps keep our salespeople up to date with customer sales and their overall sales for each period/year.
    • CSR - tracking of customer orders from point of entry to invoicing, being able to give the customer current information on their order by viewing a single screen.
    • Purchasing - with multiple locations, tracking, and having inventory in the correct location to meet the customer demands that are shipped from their home location.
