Distribution Center Manager

Very good and always prepare to help, and they keep on developing their product to improve it, and to keep up with the ever evolving and developing world.

Chief Commercial Officer

Our datascope implementation was successful and the distributor EMS were great to work with.

IT Executive

DataScope as a company were great to work with. Their knowledge in the Supply Chain fraternity; Warehouse Management and SYSPRO are excellent.

Director of Manufacturing and IT

It's always a pleasure to deal with them, even if it's just brainstorming some improvement ideas.

Supply Chain 

At a fraction of the cost the warehouse is contributing to a successful business through the implementation of amongst other, the Datascope WMS system. I would highly recommend the software.

In the event of network / Wi-Fi failure, operation needs to stop and wait for system / infrastructure recovery. System cannot be used off-line.

Director of Business Solutions

The combination of DataScope and our ERP system does not work well in high transaction volume warehouses. We experience performance and data consistency issues.

Syspro and Datascope Consultant

Very good product with strong integration to Syspro ERP.

EMS Support Manager

The inability to integrate into other ERP systems.

Director

There are always problems every upgrade version. Performance reporting needs attention.

The product has a grounded integration framework using SYSPRO Business objects to validate transnational data and secure data integrity with-in the ERP environment.

Director of IT

On our new search, we compared DataScope with a company considered a 'tier-1' solution and the features that we needed were all there for a fraction of the price.

Standardisation of supply chain model from the production facility to the branch and customer.  This has allowed the business to fully integrate one system across 10 location in South Africa, with live inventory tracking.  The order process as well as the on time in full delivery has improved within 12 months since implementation. Business needs on gaps were addressed professionally and timeously. 

WMS Datascope

WMS has been an intricate part in building the warehouse where it is today and has improved all efficacies from stock accuracy to customer services.

Danesco Review

Review for DataScope

Always great to work with Cambli. DATASCPOPE WMS supports SYSPRO's ability to place PO's and Sales orders in alternate units of measure.  During picking you can select to pick in stocking UOM or Order UOM. 

Excellent SYSPRO-exclusive WMS option

Dear Joe, I would like to address your concern on SYSPRO business objects. We are currently negotiating a ISV agreement with SYSPRO which will allow us a SYSPRO run time license. This will address your business object limitations.  

As above, we now have good transparency of stock locations, higher accuracy rates, and stock take takes us half the time it used to.

Hello Kathy, We will have a support resource contact you shortly to discuss the large orders failing to invoice. This can be due to infrastructure constrains where the SYSPRO e.net object times out. Additional resource can be allocated to the SYSPRO Apps server or we could increase the timeout setting our our side to resolve this for you. 

The company has grown well from a small business into a world class development house, we have had ups and downs but the experience has only gotten more efficient and less resource intensive to run. 

Datascope for SYSPRO

Our biggest benefit was making our stock visible through the production processes. The spin-off benefits to this was that we could manage and analyse scrap in close to real-time, our stock accuracy went up to 99.93% within 24 months and costs came down as we started eliminating wastes. Our MRP system is much more accurate because we have real-time feedback from the shop-floor. The result is lower stock holding and less obsolescence. 
The Datascope team is also a great bunch people. They understand business and they understand how to tackle tough business problems through the Datascope WMS product. It's always a pleasure to deal with them, even if it's just brainstorming some improvement ideas.

Datascope WMS - a great solution to your stock control problems

Our original goal to improve WIP inventory visibility in manufacturing warehouses was achieved.   We did not attain comparable benefits when DataScope was deployed in a high volume distribution warehouse.  We will upgrade our ERP system to the current release level, and will reassess DataScope match for our distribution warehouse demands at that time.

Works well in warehouses with moderate transaction volumes

Hello Camron, Thank you for your feedback. In regard to your comment on the solution not working well for high volume distribution environments I would like to clarify that the situation on your site is directly due to the fact that your SYSPRO install is still running version 6 and the SYSPRO e.net objects in this version are old and very inefficient. A simple upgrade of SYSPRO to version 7 or 8 will resolve your difficulty. We have numerous very high volume warehouses running DATASCOPE WMS.

Regarding the EDI automation. We will contact you shortly as this is a standard module that can be implemented fairly quickly.

Very good and always prepare to help, and they keep on developing their product to improve it, and to keep up with the ever evolving and developing world. 

Making warehousing, stock controlling & dispatching easy.

Overall we've seen efficiency gains in distribution and a drastic decrease in inventory discrepancies (average year end inventory variance reduced by over 90%).  Also the data available allows us to more accurately measure productivity of team members.

Great WMS Option for Syspro Companies

Hello Ben, thank you for your review and rating of 9/10. Regarding your reference to customization, please look out for upcoming webinars where we will be demonstrating key customization tools that you can use to dramatically enhance your user experiences. 
Regards Anton

We have repeatedly increased performance and accuracy in all deployed sites.

Reseller experience

Our inventory is now real-time.  We have greatly reduced our inventory count times as well as reduced our lost time that was typically spent looking for product.

Excellent Software

Hi Sarah, Thank you for the rating of 10/10. Please make sure to watch our up-coming webinars on new features. 

DataScope as a company were great to work with.  Their knowledge in the Supply Chain fraternity; Warehouse Management and SYSPRO are excellent.  They added value to existing business processes while extending on new processes as their product is implemented.
Their ability to identify gaps and solve challenges grounds their product.  


Enabling SYSPRO with WMS

Hello Martin, thank you for your software review. Just a note on the offline capability. We plan to release a version in 2021 with offline capabilities. We will keep you posted. Also a full Task Management module is due for release in Q1 2021. You may want to watch out for upcoming webinars on new features. 

We went from paper and pen to Datascope WMS.  That was a big leap as we didn't have a strong internal knowledge of how a WMS should be set up and should function.  Datascope helped us a lot and have continued to be very supportive.  As we learn more about WMS and Datascope we are continuing to refine our settings and making the product work best for us.  Overall, it is a great product and they have a great team.

Best option for Syspro

Very pleasant, I joined the group a month after implementation and was very skeptical about the product. I however quickly changed my opinion. Dedicated account managers, developers and senior manager put me at ease and we are not looking back. 


Everything implemented has made a impact on the bottom line. Staff performance can be measured and the inventory on Syspro is a true reflection of what is on the rack. The sales force has got trust in the system and that is a rare occurrence. 

Datascope WMS Review 

Hi Lourens, I am pleased to note to you that the Task Management module is in development currently and will be released in Q1 2021. This module will allow for full task driven efficiency with an intelligent framework that will allow a developer on your site to customize the final experience. Thanks for the 9/10 rating! Metraclark is a pleasure to work with.  

EMS Support Management Review

Customizable and easy to use

Thank you Jacobus for your software review of 10/10. It is always a pleasure working with Taurus. 
We have released a host of new software features recently which we are presenting in monthly webinars. 
Regards Anton

We had tried implementing another WMS software for 1.5 years with nothing but problems, so we decided to start our search over.  

On our new search, we compared DataScope with a company considered a 'tier-1' solution and the features that we needed were all there for a fraction of the price.  In addition, their knowledge and exclusive integration with our ERP software (meaning no extra integration/customization needed) was a plus.  

The implementation process (the process was a night and day difference from the first software we tried to implement) and ongoing support have also been great.  

Bottom line, we went from managing stacks of paper orders and looking for products with binoculars in the warehouse to being able to know exactly what is coming in and going out of our warehouse at any time in a matter of months.  We can't imagine going back to how things were before.

Great Functionality, Value and Support

Thank you Thomas for your rating of 10/10. 
We are enhancing the software aggressively with awesome new customization features and extra modules. You may be interested in our new TMS module with full shipping automation. Watch out for the upcoming webinars on new customization tools. 
Regards Anton

We as APL Cartons see the benefit Datascope could offer to our manufacturing processes. Although at the moment the software isn't running itself, and a lot of internal personnel time needs to be spent to keep the system running as desired. We're not experiencing the full value of the software yet. Hoping this will change in the near future.

APL Carton's experience with Datascope's WMS for Syspro (5 years)

Hello Juan, We have noted your poor rating of DATASCOPE WMS and we are actively working with your team to resolve the situation. We believe that there are IT infrastructure related issues on your site causing a high level of SQL deadlocks. We have a server specialist advising your team of possible server adjustments. We look forward to changing your overall experience soon. 

Replaced a batch system with real-time and integration (less reconciling issues). Like in any transition, there were issues that eventually got solved. We are now leveraging the system and have made significant headcount reductions / productivity gains.

Datascope

Hi Daniel, Thank you for your rating of DATASCOPE WMS of 8/10. We are not sure what you are referring to as a ABC system. If you can clarify this, we would willingly address this concern.
Regards Anton

The DataScope team understand warehousing and have vast experience in the field.  That translates to a company that can create processes that will help a company become more efficient in warehousing.  They have been flexible and able to improve the software based on customer feedback.  They and their software are an excellent choice.

Functional Flexibility

My overall experience is incredibly positive.  Datascope is very responsive and they are frequently looking to improve.  Honestly, we would not have grown as a company without having this software at the helm.  I would recommend it to anyone who was interested.   

Makes Life Easier

Thank you for your 10/10 software rating. It is always a pleasure to work with AMC. Thank you for a fine relationship!
Anton

We had some pretty extensive issues at deployment which caused some delays and slowdowns in our warehouse and shipping departments. Later upgrades were also an issue making us hesitant to make future upgrades. That being said the Datascope staff worked with us to correct those issues as quickly as possible.

WMS by DataScope Review

Hello John, Thank you for your rating. 
The new Cycle Count Scheduler has been released for some time now. Can we suggest that you plan an upgrade to get the new features?
In regard to the initial go live issues you refer to, I am sure you will agree that the 3rd party customization's on your site were the main cause of issues due to the fact that these programs originally wrote directly to the SYSPRO tables instead of posting through the SYSPRO business object layer.
