WinMan ERP Software vs. Zoho One

Winman ERP is well suited to our business and we have not felt the need to look further. The great strength for us is the MRP facility but each business is unique and must make it's own assessment. The accounting side just works - nothing to add here.

Advantages

• The price-quality ratio is excellent, even though Odoo has become very competitive.
• The time to implementation is also great, if not one of the best.
• Excellent billing and service desk apps

It is not the best solution if you are looking into a collaboration-focused software suite.

• MRP - our inventory forecasting is done within Winman using the MRP facility. This allows us to place timely orders with our suppliers.
• Inventory transfers and value uplifts (to reflect actual landed cost) are simply catered for and fully integrated into the accounting system.
• Integration with our website ensures that accurate data flows throughout the whole process.

• CRM integrates nicely using our Zapier environment.
• The Lead to Contact/Account Conversion is very intuitive.
• Deals, Sales Orders, and Contract Zoho Sign work well together.

• Having used Winman ERP for a long time now it fully suits our needs.

• The integration is loose and needs to be more stable and a true integration
• Development appears to take long periods of time to bring customer enhancements into the next release. I have seen numerous obvious business application needs to be brought to the attention that is still 2-3 years old without an update
• Unified User Interface and back end functionality/configuration across applications

Incentivized

While the software is easy to use and pick up, the different user interfaces and limits across the application make it difficult and slow to implement additional applications quickly and seamlessly across the organization. If the User interface was more consistent we would be able to pick up and train on new apps more efficiently

My few queries are answered promptly.

Support is great as a customer, as a partner I get moved to that team more often and find issues in the support being provided. It also appears that the support agents do not take into account all the information provided and default back to the "step 1 of the playbook" instead of taking into account the business reason the support is being requested and understanding the steps already taken.

Incentivized

As with any business project, a clear plan with clearly defined outcomes is key.

Having used Winman ERP for many years through various iterations we have not felt the need to look elsewhere

5 years ago, we decided to use Odoo. At that time, the enterprise version of Odoo was not competitive enough for a small company with minor integration needs when it comes to the pricing per user. Nowadays, pricing is almost equal. The effort of integration processes with Odoo is still higher even though it delivers more potential. A decision between both today would be more difficult for us.

• The key thing is to be able to do more with less people, removing as much repetitive work as possible.
• More automation allows us to grow the business whilst being able to concentrate on core competencies that cannot be automated such as product development, branding and marketing.
• Inventory planning is simplified through the use of MRP. Top level skus are readily converted into POs for timely component procurement which means we have the best opportunity to fill sales orders.

• It has had an overall negative impact since we migrated from HubSpot due to the overall lack of support.
• Our users are frustrated with the complexity and lack of consistency in the admin portals.
• CRM is the only tool that is ready for business at scale.
