Pros

“Genius ERP offers a solid foundation for accounting within a manufacturing environment, with strong integration between financial data and operational workflows.”
AS

Amanda S.

Office Manager

“It provides the essential tools needed to manage operations efficiently and has helped streamline day-to-day tasks. While there is a learning curve and some areas could be improved, it is a solid ERP solution for manufacturing businesses.”

Sales Ops Support

“The thing I like the most about Genius ERP is that it connects directly with engineering software to pull complex multi-level bills of materials straight into the production pipeline.”

Quality Control Coordinator

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”

Planner Buyer

Cons

“This can make it difficult for users to visualize the final output during data entry, sometimes requiring additional review and adjustments before documents are issued.”
MM

Masoud M.

ERP Manager

“One of the downsides of Genius is when you have confirmed an invoice you cannot edit that invoice without doing a credit of the invoice and redoing a new one.”
MC

Marc C.

Operations Manager

“CAD2BOM did not deliver on functionality and if the Import/Export wasn't available, we would have nearly left us underutilizing the majority of the system's functionality do the required data input.”
SR

Shandon R.

Chief Operating Officer

Cons

“Having worked now almost entirely on a laptop since 2020, the framing of the windows is atrocious.”
