Genius is well suited to our fabrication business as it covers all sections that need to be addressed in one program e.g. shipping, receiving, Sales orders, Purchase orders, invoicing, Employee clocking times from the scanning machine. easy to navigate between modules where needed once you know how.
1. Manage all our items (raw material, manufactured material, consigned material and finished goods).
2. Manage our item configuration (creating bills of manufacturing and bills of material).
3. Enter and track customer orders
4. manage material
5. houses all our vendors
6. creating purchase orders
7. creating shipping documentation
8. Managing daily business activities such as open orders.
9. Accounting
Pros
Provide higher-level reports that include enough details to make decisions and manage. example, their open order reports is incredible. It shows you a 40ft view of the existing orders, their status, the material availability, etc. and if you need more detail, most of the fields on that report are linked to detailed pages (e.g. you can look at a specific job/work order or the original sales order entered or the BOM consumption, etc.)
Knowledgeable staff. If you have a Genius academy license, you are able to join canteens that are 1 hr Q&A sessions held 3 times per week to answer any questions or issues you have.
we are able to use so many of their additional fields to create any report we desire. This feature is also available on line now, but we have not yet completed our transition to V15 which has that feature.
Techs are able to use the system to update work orders and consume material which is slowly eliminating our use of paper copies all over the shop floor.
Cons
Genius holds regular webinars with their customers to get our feedback on the modules. One thing we recently discussed and I'm sure we'll see in the next version is having more info available in the physical inventory module such as the description of the material being counted, allocations against it, and the last price or cost of the material. This would make the process more efficient when we can sort through the list of counted locations and parts and ignore all low dollar items and concentrate of the critical items.
They host many very educational webinars but some of these cost money. I was hoping they would give access to these when you purchase a genius academy license.
Their work instruction in the hep menu can be much improved. It's not easy to go to the help menu and understand how to use a module fully. You should be able to use the help instructions to navigate and not have to put in a ticket every time you're trying to figure something out.

Well suited if you have a competent team internally that is willing to work with the genius team to properly implement and maintain the software. Also, having people on your team that are computer savvy and can take advantage of all the information in Genius to create reports to help your team instead of having to pay genius to create the reports for you (both work, but it gives you more flexibility when you can do things yourself and Genius staff can train someone form your team on how to do this).

Genius Solutions can adapt to each of our needs according to our type of specialist company. For special projects it is easy to integrate unique machines (design) into the software to be able to keep records of the components purchased. In particular, we can have good machine cost quickly according to our requests. There is however some ease-of-use problems but with the research team constantly working on development the next version is going to be excellent.
We have been using Genius for about a year in all of our departments. Engineering, purchasing, manufacturing, data collection (mainly labor time), accounting ...
Genius allows us to track jobs from launch to delivery. The creation of items and the inventory tracking of the software also help us to reduce the costs associated with the latter.
Pros
The production is simple and efficient, this is done directly from our 3D design software (SolidWorks).
Technical support is efficient, when problems arise, solutions are provided quickly.
The monitoring of production costs is clear and easy to consult.
Cons
The implementation is relatively difficult.
Loading the ETM module (to switch from 3D to Genius) is long in the case of large assemblies.
It is difficult to correct errors or modify a job in progress.
Likelihood to Recommend
The ability to add custom reports is a big advantage. This allows each department to follow up on the points they deem important.
Genius is definitely made for mass production. It's a little less flexible for "custom" production. It is very easy to see where we are in current jobs and to plan the production of future jobs.
Genius ERP is being used for our manufacturing department. We use it to manage and improve everything from quoting to inventory control/scheduling manufacturing to analysis on financials.
Pros
Product Configuration(the ability to quote customisable products.)
Inventory Management (Keep shelves stocked with stockable inventory)
Manufacturing Scheduling
Cons
Genius is great at making it so you can't change a "confirmed" transaction but this limits the ability to easily fix mistakes. I.e., instead of deleting or changing an invoice you have to credit it and remake it. This is makes it easier to track what happened but is tedious when someone made multiple of the same mistakes.

Genius is great for analysis data using Microsoft products like Power BI or Excel as it links directly to them. Genius has also helped the work flow of our company a lot by streamlining processes. One process that helps our company a lot is the ability to print all work orders and fabrication/assembly plans in their batch printing module. Printing these would take up to five hours per assembly in Quickbooks and it now takes 10 minutes.
We use Genius in planning, purchasing, inventory and logistics and also in quality control departments.

I appreciate that we can export and import from Excel.
This freed us from certain tasks, automate certain processes and be more efficient in our work.
Cons
Support hours (now, from 8h00 to 17h00, Monday to Friday).
The info with help button (F1) to be more easy to find.

Genius gives us more transparency and visibility in our processes. Also, stocks are more easily controlled. Genius is flexible and easy to use. It has a variety of modules and can customize reports or filters to suit all of our needs. Also, I really appreciated that we can export and import from Excel.
I have been attending some free sessions with a senior analyst from Genius and I really appreciate them. I had access to clear and quick explanations, helpful solutions, and training to deepen my knowledge.
