Accounting Seed vs. ProShop ERP

Accounting Seed is a great solution for businesses looking for reliable accounting software. It offers all the features needed and works as expected. In addition, it is not as pricey as many competitors and therefore a great choice. I would recommend it for both startups and established businesses.

For the most part I love everything about this system. The one thing that's a little confusing about it is the Carts system for creating purchase orders and batching them together. Seems to be a few extra steps to accomplish work that has essentially already been done. Other than that though, I love this system and highly recommend it!

• Sometimes when creating a receipt it can't seem to find the company I am searching for in the drop-down, I have to go out to the company and enter from there.
• Some of the accounting reports seem to be limited, though at times this may just be the user! Still learning as I go! But there have been some reports that state I would need to add another partner app to do, which would mean more cost.

• While support staff will be quick to help very advanced features still don't have all the documentation needed at times to solve problems on our own.
• Elements of the interface are could be polished for a more appealing aesthetic.

They continue to make the most affordable and complete ERP on the market for our company size and industry

Accounting Seed was easy to implement and use without third-party service providers' intervention. Furthermore, the vendor forwarded us a copy of articles and documentation on implementation, customization and integration, which made it much easier for us to integrate it with company API and other external programs.

It was built by people who ran a job shop and it shows

We seldom have had to use their support but when we have, they have been responsive and actually were able to answer our questions in a simple, nontech language. You don't have to be a programmer to talk to them!

I have never used Xero at my current organization, but I used it at Alliance Data before Implementing Accounting Seed. Xero wasn’t updated much during the years that we were using it. Also, Xero failed to integrate with some of third-party applications that we were using. Finally, Accounting Seed was highly navigable, had clean UI/UX unlike Xero.

We had a custom-built Microsoft Access program before. While it did keep track of some information without a lifetime of development we could not expect it to do what ProShop does for us.

• Installation, setup and integration cost were reasonable.
