Expandable

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.

Great software, great API's for extensibility, great support organization and management team.

Pros

Working with Expandable has been a fantastic experience. We have successfully integrated external applications including eCommerce stores with Expandable on multiple occasions. The softwares stability, support organization, APIs and ROI are some of the advantages we greatly likeable.

Cons

I can't think of any drawbacks.

Pros

Expandable offers precise and straightforward inventory control with the added advantage of Lot and Serial Number traceability. Its user friendliness including mobile applications, is commendable. The Implementation and Customer Support Team is exceptional, ensuring a fast and comprehensive implementation. Furthermore Expandable exhibits great scalability, catering to both small pre revenue businesses and large enterprises.

Cons

Expandable lacks advanced features for large and complex multinational enterprises that require localized support. Being a relatively small company, there is limited public knowledge available on the internet.

Very quick implementation, great customer service, organized data structure, intuitive GUI.

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.

Very favorable for ~10 years that I have been using it

Pros

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.

Expandable has been a great asset, for our company over the years.

Pros

The use of Lot tracking alongside consignment inventory is the most valuable aspect of Expandable for our company. In our industry its crucial to have constant visibility of our product whereabouts. Additionally we appreciate its compatibility with Microsoft Excel.

Cons

For the most part Expandable has been fantastic over the years. However one aspect that we find a bit hard is generating time saving reports without customization.

Expandable is very user-friendly.

Pros

The customer service is phenomenal and the software itself is highly intuitive and easy to navigate. Its effortless to find the information I need.

Cons

Occasionally we come across glitches that give us pause,but the customer service is incredibly helpful in providing solutions. Tracking serialized inventory is not straightforward.

Great customer support

Pros

Expandable offers a user friendly interface that empowers users with the knowledge and skills to optimize the software for our companys specific needs. They provide a wealth of resources that greatly enhance the overall experience.

Cons

Expandable offers many add ons which can become quite expensive. Additionally, running reports requires additional software.

Expandable is great when it comes to manufacturing!

Pros

The manufacturing aspect of Expandable is particularly noteworthy even though I am still exploring and learning about all the features it offers.

Cons

Expandable still lacks a real time financial reporting aspect and the monthly closing process can be tedious compared to other software. Making changes to existing data is not easily done requiring meticulous logging of corrections. It can be confusing if you are unfamiliar with the system.
