Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros We have been using APplus for quite some time now and are overall very satisfied with the ERP system. What stands out most is its flexibility, processes can be customized easily without deep programming knowledge. Thanks to the modular structure, we were able to replace several isolated solutions and now work seamlessly across all departments, from purchasing and production to delivery and invoicing. The browser-based interface is modern, clear, and intuitive. New employees get up to speed quickly, and daily work feels much smoother compared to other ERP systems we’ve used before. Working via mobile devices also works flawlessly. Another strong point is the reporting and analytics functionality. With the dashboards and quick views, we always have a transparent overview of our orders and workflows. Cons During the initial implementation it takes some time until all functions and modules can be used to their full potential. Once the system is set up and users are familiar with it, the efficiency gains quickly become noticeable.	Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros In my humble opinion, this software has some of the best drilldown capabilities I've ever seen in a Tier3/Tier2 level ERP. M1 has also solved the age old problem of custom SQL queries that tend to be daunting for standard system users. The software allows users to create custom grids simply by selecting from a list of available tables and then adding headers. Behind the scenes it automatically writes the SQL code. This ability empowers daily users to easily access the data they need. Cons No software is perfect, and unfortunately one of the areas where M1 falls down a bit is on Deposit Invoices. The software can detect when a customer has a deposit, and apply it towards the final A/R Invoice, but if the situation arises where the original Deposit Invoice has to be credited, and a new Deposit Invoice issued, it tends to duplicate the deposit lines on the final A/R Invoice. The duplicate lines can be deleted, but that is an extra step that can be missed by a careless A/R person. If ECi would nip this issue in the bud, I'd be hard pressed to find something to complain about.
