Pros

“GSS has a good support staff, but they change for help with most things.”
ET

Emilee T.

Sales Account Specialist

“A better design would be to have a single table with a column to identify its source.c: Data Base Column Names are inconsistent. ”

Controller

“b: There is no single General Ledger table, rather there are separate GL tables for each module. ”

Pros

“Includes accounting, quoting, quality, production, sales, customer service and some high-level executive overview items.”
DS

David S.

VP of Technology

“I'm sure the new Cloud version has updated the layout to a more modern aesthetic, however after reviewing the drawback of that version we have decided to stay on our On-Prem version 7.51 until another ERP solution is identified.”
DS

David S.

VP of Technology

“Overall this is a very useful and powerful ERP that we could not run the business without, although it could be simplified and have more visually appealing aspects”

Cons

“Updates can take a good amount of time as well as when Hotfixes are applied, a lot of the time they break other parts of the system (this has to do with some of our customs as well as options).”
JD

Joe D.

Systems Administrator

“Difficult if not impossible to find internal resources with Pervasive Skills unlike MSSQL.c: Very limited to Non-Existent 3rd Party Apps2: Poorly Designed Tablesa: There are Master Tables that contain multiple rows of Data for a single Header Record where the data definition in the same column of data differs between rows.”
LD

Liam D.

Controller

“Limited integrations: Global Shop Solutions may not integrate well with other software or platforms, which can be problematic for businesses that rely on multiple tools.”
