What is Aptean Industrial Manufacturing ERP Traverse Edition?
The Aptean Industrial Manufacturing ERP TRAVERSE edition is a business accounting software suite for small- to medium-sized businesses using the Microsoft Windows operating system, that can be hosted on-premises or in the cloud, or in a hybrid fashion. Traverse runs using the Microsoft SQL Server database. In versions released from 1994 to 2009, Traverse was coded with Visual Basic for Applications, and operated as a Microsoft Access application. The current version is coded using the C# programming language within the Microsoft .NET framework, and no longer requires Microsoft Access.
Traverse features general accounting (e.g. a general ledger) and also analytics for budgeting and expense management, multiple users with access control, and it contains sales and inventory management features. It is customizable, with custom fields, forms, and functions. Its full breadth provides business intelligence functionality and a CRM if these should be desired, and the software is mobile-accessible. Given the many ways in which Traverse can be implemented its cost will vary.

OSAS is being used solely in the finance department. It is used to generate AP checks and to record all financials including AR and bank reconciliation. Only 2 employees access it, myself and our purchasing agent.
- No confusing reporting.
- Easy to follow interface.
- Simplified experience.
- Not user-friendly or intuitive in the least. Even with the instruction manual, it's like part of it is missing or you are expected to know certain items before even looking.
- Reporting is very basic and impossible to customize on the user's end. You must have tech support build them for you. Also, no cross fiscal year reporting.
- Can't cut only one check if you have other invoices already entered in the batch.
- The chart of account codes are not independent. You must build your whole GL for each fund source or program, which leaves you with an unwieldy chart of accounts.

- We have to do so much tracking of expenses by hand, that using OSAS doesn't save us any money in that respect.
- I believe my predecessor used OSAS for over 15 years so she obviously felt comfortable with it. I can make do with it and at least track my bottom line.
- No real reporting other than basic balance sheets.
- CYMA
If you've used CYMA, you'll be familiar with the way OSAS builds the GL, however CYMA is light years ahead of OSAS. If you've used anything like Abila MIP, you'll understand the comparison when I say "Abila is like using power tools to build your bookcase, CYMA is like using a hand saw and hammer, and OSAS is using a chisel to carve one out of wood." They all will get the job done and at the end of the day, you have a book case. But depending on which tools you use will either be ready for a library or a couple of small tomes. I didn't select OSAS, and never would it have been given consideration to be used as my accounting software.
