Expandable met our needs in pretty much every way, from the functionality to the support.
Expandable met our needs in pretty much every way, from the functionality to the support.
Pros
During my time at a previous company we utilized Expandable. After extensive research on various competitors Expandable was the only vendor that met our requirements. The software is designed to seamlessly grow with your company, and it certainly delivered on that promise. We didn't require much customization as the base product perfectly fulfilled our needs. Whenever we suggested a new feature, the team was receptive, and it often made it into the subsequent release. The accessibility of the Expandable team, including the president, was remarkable.
Cons
One thing to consider carefully is the level of support required during installation. Expandable can assist with this but purchasing insufficient hours can put a burden on the implementation team.

I had a great experience installing Expandable and working with their team! Their team is the best!
Pros
The installation process is simple and Expandable provides all the necessary functionality I require. Having worked with multiple systems including Oracle for a business I found that Expandable fulfilled all my needs. I was able to effectively manage a square foot manufacturing facility and handle reporting for 5 entities in multiple currencies with Expandable. The Expandable team is outstanding. We signed a contract during Thanksgiving week and went live in the first week of January, completing the implementation in just 7 weeks even during the holiday season. Loading Master Data was effortless thanks to Excel templates, which facilitated data preparation and loading. The Total Cost of Ownership was excellent, with low implementation costs and full support throughout the process.
Cons
Well truly speaking I cannot think of any negatives. We had a great experience overall although we did encounter some challenges with consolidating entities.

Pros
We able to implement Expandable swiftly and the company has the implementation process perfectly streamlined. The options for Bill of Material and Part Master were an ideal fit for our discrete manufacturing environment. The MRP processes were clearly defined, enabling us to plan for the long term effectively. The integration of GL and all subledger functions provided seamless analysis and control.
Cons
The absence of an internal financial statement generator means relying on a third party plugin which can be confusing at times.

The softwares ease of use, direct Excel downloading capability and exceptional customer support were standout features. It consistently maintains the correct Dr and Cr signs for balance sheet accounts ensuring accuracy. (If a credit amount is present, it displays a "-" sign regardless of the account type, such as an asset or a liability).
Cons
I am extremely satisfied with Expandable but if I had to choose something I liked the least, it would be the absence of a Fixed Asset module. It would also be great if the system automatically transferred current year retained earnings to the prior year at year end, eliminating the need for manual journal vouchers.

Pros
The ease of use and simple execution of Expandable make it ideal for new companies without extensive onsite IT resources. We implemented Expandable seamlessly and found it to be highly accommodating for our financial and operational needs. Being built on MS Sqlserver it allows effortless customization, including the addition of custom data and stored procedures. The software features such as customizable page layouts and powerful reporting tools like Crystal Reports and Vineyardsoft, optimize efficiency.
Cons
It took a long time for Expandable to add support for customers with multiple addresses like Bill To and Ship To. We had to implement workarounds to prevent treating the two addresses as separate customers. Additionally there is no effective way to access customizations through the user interface. We had to develop utility user tools accessed through the "Attachments" menu.

I've used Expandable at the last 3 startup companies I was involved in.
Pros
Executing Expandable from scratch was the simplest. The softwares intuitiveness makes it easy to train new users. I appreciate its flexibility in handling custom parts and multiple product iterations. The part and BOM uploading utilities make adding a large number of parts to the system quick and reduce the chances of manual errors. The wide range of Inquiries search tables simplifies the process of obtaining information, and I can easily download the data into Excel for further analysis. The Technical Support team promptly answers questions and provides clear instructions to resolve issues or assist with new tasks. I have also transitioned a company from Expandable to two other ERP systems post-acquisition when the parent company decided to integrate the ERP systems. Surprisingly, the transition from Expandable to the other systems was smoother than expected.
Cons
It would have to think a lot or dig deep to find something I didn't like about Expandable. If I had to nitpick it would be the layout of a couple of reports where the header ID fields align with the report details. However considering the abundance of great inquiries, this is hardly an issue.

Expandable ensures smooth and efficient launches including data migration and on site training.

Moreover, Expandable provides a more cost-effective option compared to its competitors, without compromising on the quality of the product.
Cons

I've used Expandable at the last 3 startup companies I was involved in.
I've used Expandable at the last 3 startup companies I was involved in.
Pros
Executing Expandable from scratch was the simplest. The softwares intuitiveness makes it easy to train new users. I appreciate its flexibility in handling custom parts and multiple product iterations. The part and BOM uploading utilities make adding a large number of parts to the system quick and reduce the chances of manual errors. The wide range of Inquiries search tables simplifies the process of obtaining information, and I can easily download the data into Excel for further analysis. The Technical Support team promptly answers questions and provides clear instructions to resolve issues or assist with new tasks. I have also transitioned a company from Expandable to two other ERP systems post-acquisition when the parent company decided to integrate the ERP systems. Surprisingly, the transition from Expandable to the other systems was smoother than expected.
Cons
It would have to think a lot or dig deep to find something I didn't like about Expandable. If I had to nitpick it would be the layout of a couple of reports where the header ID fields align with the report details. However considering the abundance of great inquiries, this is hardly an issue.

Pros
Expandables user friendly software combined with their responsive customer support has been invaluable to our operations. The comprehensive and easily accessible documentation on their website is an excellent resource whenever needed.
Cons
The bank reconciliation utility lacks "import from bank" functionality. While most reports are useful they are not user friendly once exported to Excel.

Pros
We are impressed by Expandables ability to access the SQL database and its abundance of user fields, allowing for extensive customization. The softwares well organized data structure and wide range of modules and features have greatly benefited our business. Whenever new requirements arise Expandable always has a solution. Additionally, the implementation process was completed swiftly in just a few weeks.
Cons
Of course we all have minor personal preferences. Some think a certain button should be there others wonder why certain information isn't displayed in a particular editor. However, we genuinely haven't found anything significant to dislike in Expandable. Moreover the customer support is highly receptive to suggested changes.
