Production manager

“Some of the more advanced reporting features can also feel slightly restrictive compared to other industry-specific solutions, and the cost can add up quickly as you scale and need to integrate more specialized third-party apps”

“Its functionality can also depend on my Xero subscription, user permissions, country, and the specific features available to my account, which can make the overall experience less consistent.”
