We have always found them helpful and knowledgeable , and they have always "understood " every manufacturing issue we faced , and offered a solution ----- ### "E-Max Review" — 5.0/5 > **Heather** | *31 March 2021* | Machinery | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: E-Max is well suited for our needs. We have a clear overview of all our orders in E-Max. Our on-time delivery has improved significantly since we introduced E-Max as we can track the progress of every order through the business as it happens. The inventory control has been great. This has been useful for quoting future jobs. E-Max also has a number of reports available through the system from the everyday order acknowledgment and invoices to stock valuation and forecasting reports which saves us a lot of time. > > **Cons**: Not many. It does take time to train and learn the system but once you become comfortable with the process it is much quicker than how we previously did these tasks. Getting the correct reports for our process did take a bit longer as we really needed to use and understand the system to work out what reports we needed but the E-Max team were helpful in offering us advice on this. > > Been with E-Max for 12 years, it works well for our needs. They have been very responsive whenever we have had any issues. ----- ### "Not ready for Market" — 1.0/5 > **Mark** | *5 May 2023* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: All though we, like others in our area, decided to abandon the E-Max implementation (after around 18 months) there were some positives. The support team in Glasgow were found to be very responsive and did try very hard to sort issues, however, were many time let down by the basic system therefore leading to an unsatisfactory outcome. > > **Cons**: Simply, after 18 months of trying, we and E-Max could not get this system to work in our business. at around 9 months the technical director personally took hold of our system and eventually we offered them 6 re-attempts at configuring the system and getting this to work, however, every new system failed testing in some fairly critical ways (either stock control or accounting being the main factors). We were unique in that we have three brands under our our group company and I do believe this may have been a contributing factor to the eventual withdrawal. However, at quotation we were assured this would not be an issue. Additionally were are in conversations with another 3 businesses who are more simple in their set up and they found similar issues and have either pulled the implementation or reverted to the older E-Max system which does seem to work much better but is not a true ERP solution. > > Obviously given our rating, our overall experience was not good and we would not recommend this system to other manufacturing businesses such as our own. Perhaps the older system may have worked but we already operated a system with similar functionality so made no sense for us. After taking the decision to abandon the implementation we have also found the senior management to be quite elusive to further discussions. ----- ### "Review of E-max" — 4.0/5 > **Phil** | *23 June 2021* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: As it's been designed for Manufacturing, Emax works in all areas of our business, we use 80% of the system whereas other ERP systems which aren't manufacturing-based we would only use 30% - Value or money > > **Cons**: I would like to be able to change the wording in some sections, this would save time Additional training that's LIVE as you usually have issues whilst using EMax and having someone that you could contact straight away and discuss instead of raising a ticket as normally you have either dealt with the problem i have done something else to get around the problem\! I think an APP would be good. > > Generally good, it was a slow start but I do understand that implementing a new ERP system takes time, we had issues implementing SAGE and EDI but it was resolved as it was a learning curve for both parties. ----- ### "QA Weld Tech Emax Review" — 4.0/5 > **Adam** | *29 March 2019* | Oil & Energy | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The flexibility of the software really helped us phase the implementation process over a longer period of time to ensure disruption of work was limited. The system is also able to evolve with industry change and improvements to best practises. > > **Cons**: Most major issues we've come across with E-Max have been able to be rectified. We have experienced small inconsistencies with regards to fonts and sorting of data when using the search function. The introduction of spellcheck would help too. > > Since implementing E-Max we have experienced an improved control over shop floor processes and planning and timely provision of management information generated by the system helps drive business decisions. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/451156/E-Max-ERP?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/451156/E-Max-ERP) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
