Genius ERP Reviews

We chose Genius ERP because we are a custom, make to order manufacturer, and Genius allows us to design and release parts of the machines in Solidworks as they are complete to production. This allows us to manufacture complex machines in less time by getting a jump start on long lead items using just in time purchasing and production scheduling. Genius tracks all costs to each machine which gives great visibility into our margins that we can trace all the way to our financial reports.
Genius ERP is utilized throughout all our business processes from customer order through to final shipment and invoicing and then flows through to our financial reports. With all employees working in a single integrated system, it has allowed our process flow to become smoother with less questions popping up across departments.

I would love to see them update the UI. There are lots of clicks required with each transaction.

I really like the simplicity of the software, it's simple and clear with the right amount of information on screen for the need of a small to mid-size business, it makes it easy to use for new employee. The UI is pleasant to use, and make it simple for user to find an option or to understand where to click.

Technical support is quick to repond when you have a major issue.

The transfert from engineering to manufacturing is fast and easy, the integration with Solidwork is simple tu use and makes it really .

I really don't like the fact that they make changes to the software and force sometime a way of working instead of adding a configuration option to let the user choose how he prefere the software to repond.

They choose simplicity, but sometime it makes it diffcult to twaek the software to your need when it could have been achieved with a simple control box in the configuration menu.

The low cost of annual license (compare to SAP or ORACLE) is the best argument to use Genius as we Don't have budget to use more expensive Tools like SAP or ORACLE.

It's very hard in Genius to follow inventory movements with custom reports with all relevant information in exportable format (Excel). For exemple, in SAP there is a transaction MB51 that is so usefull to produce custom reports to follow items with many parameters.

We have been using Genius ERP now for over 4 years and are very happy with our choice. Very thorough and customizable. As there is plenty of features, we are still learning all there is to offer in Genius.

I don't have any other experiences in implementation and training of ERP but we had to spend a lot of time with employees before the go live.

Genius ERP system is a user-friendly and customizable ERP system. We had many customizations that had to be done to fit our company, and Genius was able to fulfill and exceed expectations. The modules are easy to follow and it was a breeze to implement it within our team.

There are some technical issues which pop up that tend to take some time to fix. However, when they do fix it, they tend to go away and there is never repeating issues.

Genius is a very easy user friendly system. If you know how one module works you can navigate your way through every single module with ease. It has helped us as a company refine processes and systems that weren't working when it came to a paper system that we had prior to Genius. They work amazing with all sizes of companies, but we felt as a small company that they worked better than others companies we looked at when it came to price and ease of implementing.

We bought the cloud version which is great because we can call or email Genius and they are always available to help with any problems, but we probably would have bought the web version now that we have used it only because we are using tablets now on the production floor and the software isn't supported with the version that we used.

The software meets our needs; interfaces are intuitive, easy to use. People who work at Genius are competent and are able to understand our needs.

Documentation and user guide are not always up-to-date; I knew that a new customer service department was now in place. This surely will help get answers quickly to questions of use.

Genius was the only product I saw that had the built in capabilities of configurating BOM's in a way that worked for our product line. It was cost efficient and the Genius team brought lots of expertise to the table.

It is a lot of work to get your team onboard with a new ERP like Genius. Patience is a key factor for implementation.

Packing list, invoice and PO are fine. My use is very limited to my job, I don't see the overall picture.

not friendly user. customerized report needs to be updated every update. search tools could be improved.

It does help for the daily work like making BOMs, checking inventory.

It's very out dated, not cloud based, no app, like 199x software.

the underlying structure of the software was thoroughly scrutinized by our company auditor, something we failed to do on a previous software that we purchased. Their confidence allowed us to 'trust' Genius and really dig-in to make it work across our company departments. Genius is good on visuals as well as text.

no way to print the ms project display from work order management status
scheduling fractures operation time, sometimes into seconds, split over a dozen different moments or even days?
not enough smart-tags or hyperlink functions; I have to keep 8 different pages open all the time to get complete information.
too many French terms left untranslated
too much reliance on reports rather than displays

Flexible reports allow you to easily customized format and included the data you want in your report

Operation of modules is not customizable, but new features are added regularly in new releases

Product has a broad appeal across organizations, functions and processes.

Security and data privacy are a real challenge. Controlling who can see labor hours and labor costs and the ability to derive hourly rates by employees is very complex and not intuitive. Once understood, however, the ability to control who sees what is powerful, but the learning curve is steep and complex.

-User friendly
-Easy to switch from one module to an other
-Customizable reports and good features
-Good overall service
-Affordable

-Documentation and User Guide not always up-to date

I like it is fully compatible with Solidworks. Easy to learn and maintain inventory.

Some menu items are way deep in software.

Genius is a excellent product which is intuitive and quite easy to use

In my opinion the Quality (non-conformities) section is not as we should expect for such good ERP

Great service. Highly recommend. Would deal with them in future without a doubt!

I have not experienced anything that I would consider a con.

Easy to use, lot of oftions but some options are not adapted to us

Cannot enter the same lot number twice and some functionalities are hard to use.

Helpful for cost per project analysis. A lot of features so we can adapt to our own business.

Not friendly user. Need more training. The help guide is not really helpful when we do research on it.

Ease of use, friendly interface, simply to understand

Custom reports are hard to set up. Included reports are too basics.

technical support, several option and feature

a full instruction manuel, we cannot delete item

It is really easy make research and find data.

The software needs a lots of click to modify the data

We like to have data for our follow up !!!

Mobile application.
Misses about our installation field sector.
Financial sector complicated to use with our way to work

- Flexible
- User-Friendly
- Fully integrate (sales, purchase, production, accounting)

At the beginning of the project, we knew the limitations and the possibilities of the software.

Modern version of MRP, very functional..

Some of the expected limitations, but not important.
