Genius - Great Manufacturing ERP Software

Opmerkingen: The whole process from implementation to Go Live has been a great one overall. [SENSITIVE CONTENT] has been amazing with us!! I did feel that we were left alone a bit too much during this process, however this in turn has made us much better at understanding the software overall. Our team has adopted the new system well. We are still working through some issues and need to figure out all of the nuances of a new system.

Pluspunten:

Our whole manufacturing process is managed including inventory control. I really like that the team can look into a job and figure out at what stage certain items are at in the manufacturing process. The engineering side is great, and allows our team not to have to do duplicate entries. This also ensures that there is much less human error since the items are imported directly from Inventor to the Engineering Document. This in turn is transferred to the job. From the quoting side, we were doing our small quotes manually previously, and now we quote within the system and then when a PO is given we convert it. Therefor no extra entry is needed.

Minpunten:

The accounting side is not the greatest. You can tell that this was added to the software after. It is really hard to follow the transactions. There is potential for it to be better. I think that one of the biggest downfalls of the software is how buy and sell parts are handled with regards to inventory. The system was not created for this purpose, and therefore is has a big weakness on how this is controlled/handled. The scheduling is a very hard concept to understand and it takes time to get it to work. There are items that don't make sense at times and you have to dig to figure out why. It is not always clear to know why certain dates are given. The standard reports are not great.

Genius ERP has enhanced excellent financial evaluation

Opmerkingen: It provides critical tools for setting reliable resource management database that is secure. The cost of managing resources has been reduced due to limited pressure for tracking expenditure. The company has acquired suitable application for accelerating growth.

Pluspunten:

It monitors company financial documents to ensure they correspond effectively with expenditure. Auditing of the enterprise resources has been advanced with the digital data management system. It accounts for the assets owned by the company and the progress of investment projects.

Minpunten:

After evaluation for other resource management tools Genius ERP emerged to be the best. We have no regrets of having such an awesome product.

Genius ERP Review

Opmerkingen: Performing a root cause analysis of the business as a whole, data re-entry errors was the root cause to many widespread issues for us. With this in mind, running the business on a relational database was the only way to break down data barriers between departments and create streamlined processes with live data. Using genius has increased our average office departments capacity over 30% that is creating time to work on more complex projects with a higher quality of work. Our integration team was amazing, they went above and beyond to understand the business and successfully customized genius to match our processes which was no small task. We were live 6 months after prototype approval, exceeded the original scope, and stayed right on budget.

Pluspunten:

The engineering lifecycle module is extremely powerful for custom manufacturers where a BOM can be adjusted infinitely with various versions. Genius runs on SQL database vs crystal or not as powerful systems. With SQL you have access to report builder, with a little bit of training you can customize your own reports easily which is incredible for small companies with technically inclined people. Being the engineer, ETM is a powerful time saving tool (see cons) creating more time for designing and less ctrl+c ctrl+v across spreadsheets.

Minpunten:

The CAD2BOM tool (ETM) lacks in a few key areas. Overall, it is very powerful, but I feel there are a few things that would make it great. The point here is they need to keep refining it and use customer feedback and provide better customer service. Our integration with it was not great but we have made it work with various workarounds. Prepare to pay for every little thing, while a service contract has updates included in them, there are still fees for them to install those updates. Since genius is geared towards small companies, they should consider the surprise this will cause. When we were sold on the system and our budget implementation costs, we asked straightforward are there any other software’s or systems we will need to purchase for on-site deployment. We were told no, this includes everything. Come to find out there were several different types of SQL licenses required to run genius and the access for users. This was very misleading right from the beginning and started the creation of a very tense erp integration.

Genius ERP for Mid Size Manufacturing

Opmerkingen: We have had excellent service and support since implementation. We have evolved and grown the user base, and Genius has been with us throughout the growth journey.

Pluspunten:

Genius provides a multi module platform that is entirely integrated. It gives visibility through reports and dashboards, of performance metrics resulting for clocked hours, production costs, inventory management, accounting, estimating, quoting, and billing. It is fantastic for manufacturing environments.

Minpunten:

To have customized internally developed report, Microsoft Power BI is a requirement.

A Genius Fit for Custom Manufacturers

Opmerkingen: The implementation process was shockingly smooth. We were expecting a lot of clean up and things to fix and found that to be very little. Compared to our previous ERP, getting to data and having it available without the need to drill down several levels to find it is a major improvement. The ability to filter data using drag and drop headers makes data processing much faster. Overall it has improved our business functions dramatically and we are only getting started. There are many features we are bringing on board that will further improve the value to the business. The technical team has also been easy to work with and responsive.

Pluspunten:

The integration by far was the most seamless and easy process that we've gone through with an ERP implementation. Being a custom manufacturer, we needed an ERP designed for our type of business. From CAD to BOM capability, preliminary purchasing of long lead time parts, scheduling using the drum-buffer-rope method and the ability to access data for metrics and data driven process control, Genius had it all!

Minpunten:

There are some features that are not customizable. If you can't adapt your process to fit then you've got to figure out ways to use other features in a different manner to achieve the goal. Luckily we've been able to do that for most processes and still maintain a high level of efficiency. The software has a Gantt chart feature but its not printable in a format that can be shared. That for us is the biggest omission for software focused on custom manufacturing.

Great ERP for manufacturing

Opmerkingen: We have replace our Epicor ERP with GENIUS ERP and we are very happy with the change. Genius is way faster than Epicor and is easier to learn and operate. I highly recommend Genius ERP.

Pluspunten:

This is a very effective ERP. The software is easy to learn and easy to operate. It can by automated to a certain degree with it's GTA (Genius Task Automation) system. Every major updates comes with many new features, so it get better and better with every updates.

Minpunten:

Customization is very limited with Genius. You cannot change or alter the behavior or the look of the software. You may lose some needed functionality when the software is updated. Somme bugs can take many updates before they get fixed.

Crucial resource management tool

Opmerkingen: Project governance has been basic performance measuring system. This product has reduced cost of production by eliminating time mismanagement and tracking each project development stage. It removes bottlenecks that slows workflows maintaining steady production lifecycle.

Pluspunten:

Advanced data analytics from organization generated by this platform has been critical for planning and decision-making.

End to End Manufacturing ERP

Opmerkingen: We have had a great experience with Genius. Their product consultants who helped us implement the software focused on how to develop processes through the software that solved some bottlenecks as well as gave us much better cost and hour tracking.

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

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

From spread sheets to ERP

Opmerkingen: Overall, it has been satisfactory. We are excited about some new improvements coming out. They have

Pluspunten:

The sales staff did a very good job. After struggling through the initial set up. My team has adapted and we use it company wide. It has been a great tool and has a lot of potential for us.

Minpunten:

The accounting is not as easy or as flexible as our previous accounting system. We do everything from manufacturing to retail sales, including having a dealers and distributor network. We have monthly fees due to customers and have service teams in the field. We have had to create several work arounds but overall it has been continually improving.

the software is fine but the real value was the applications people that adapted it to our needs

Opmerkingen: lot control of our raw material inventory- HUGE!
scheduling across all departments

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

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

Genius ERP

Opmerkingen: System resilience is very good. Overall, we depend on Genius for our daily operations and this has proven successful for our business.

Pluspunten:

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

Minpunten:

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.

Great Service

Pluspunten:

Staff is very friendly and eager to help. Deployment was done in a professional and efficient manner. Would strongly recommend for anyone looking for this sort of software!

Minpunten:

Haven't experienced any problems or cons regarding this software.

Some menu items are way deep in software.

Customisation of our ERP

Opmerkingen: We have a long term relationship with Genius Solutions for over 20 years and they have give us a good support.

Pluspunten:

Genius Solutions have built custom application for us that we used. We have never see other ERP that can make what we do with Genius.

I have nothing wrong to say about genius.

Responsable of Engineering

Opmerkingen: I can get a lot from the data base and use pivot tables and get all the analysis needed.

Pluspunten:

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

Minpunten:

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

Good... but to much clicking, it doesn't predict your activity or preferences

Opmerkingen: I have great expectations and still learning to use it, although to much clicking here and there, it will be useful if it would predict the repetitive daily action for the user, the research filters are annoying.

Pluspunten:

Everything is well connected, improve the budget control.Great to manage customer prepaiements.

Minpunten:

Not all the screens save my view preferences, it doesn't predict your daily actions so the filters become very annoying to use. The updates sometimes mess with some of the customed reports. You cannot bill non-stock items under an invoice made from an expedition for stock items.

Purchasing and inventory management

Opmerkingen: Im sure tehre is a lot op options that would be usefull that we do know even know abouté

Pluspunten:

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

Minpunten:

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

Easily the best ERP software we have used.

Pluspunten:

Its fast and accurate job costing, labor and material tracking.

Minpunten:

There are some screens that don't seem to ever remember the user preferences and need to be re-organized every time they are opened. A small but annoying thing to do every day.

Genius ERP

Pluspunten:

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

Minpunten:

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

Genius ERP Saves Time

Opmerkingen: Every time we progress past an obstacle in our initial setup stages, we have learned how to use Genius to strengthen our project tracking abilities. Overall, the software has helped organize our work effectively and the transition to the system has been positive.

Pluspunten:

Our company has gained an appreciation for the Recommended Reorder function to increase productivity and organization of purchasing materials.

Minpunten:

Integration of our business into Genius has been difficult because it has been unclear how to properly set up our custom projects as 'jobs' in the system. Because of this we have run into instances where jobs need to be closed, and then re-created due to being made incorrectly. For example, an irreversible mistake was when a job was created within Engineering Lifestyle whereas it should have been launched directly into production from Sales Orders for our use case.

Old make good wine

Opmerkingen: have good relation with service and support when needed.

Pluspunten:

easy to use, quick for new user learning curved.

Minpunten:

hard to debug, cannot upgrade without support.
