A2000 - HOME TEXTILES
Comments: Implementing A2000 for our company was one of the most challenging tasks encountered in my career. [sensitive content hidden] worked closely with me and the team to understand, maneuver, adapt and understand the ins and outs of A2000. This is the type of system we need in order to grow our business, because of the types of data A2000 provides.
Pros:
A2000 offers a wealth of information to our team. The reporting capabilities of this system are outstanding. A2000 offers the best options of ways to review the business performance. A2000 is a very useful once the users understand the capabilities and operations of the system.
Cons:
A2000 is a bit of a challenging system for our team, as this is an apparel program being adapted to Home Textiles. This system makes so much sense for apparel, due to the nature of detail in apparel. The system requires more hands on for data input.
Great Product for the money!
Comments: We've been with A2000 since 2007 and must say our overall experience have been wonderful. My account executive and the rest of the team is amazing and truly works endlessly to try and help with any problem or issue that may arise.
Pros:
The thing I like most about A2000 is it's a one stop shop system and very versatile. The fact that you can create product + inventory, take in sales orders connect warehousing + shipping is a plus. Not to mention Accounts Payable, and GL features that can all be tied together. Which makes running bank and tax reporting super easy.
Cons:
Because the system is so versatile, you can sometime get lost. There are many ways to do one thing. Therefore, it can be hard to train employees. Also, I wish the system was a bit more intuitive. I would love to see a widget added to the platform in which you could ask a question and get an auto answer.
A2000 Friendly to Use - HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Comments: It has been great! One of my favorite ERP systems to use. From order entry, to creating reports, and transmitting EDI. The system itself is very straightforward and very easy to use.
Pros:
I've been using A2000 for about 7 years now, and it is one of my favorite systems that I have ever used. It has everything in order for a company to conduct its business. I like if support is needed, they are quick to respond and are very helpful. Aside from that, it is very easy to use and the visual of the system is very new looking.
Cons:
Can't really say since I have not seen anything wrong with A2000.
Review of A2000
Comments: Easy to understand & grasp. I am an admin and have a good general understanding for the majority of A2000 features and I think the program was developed well.
Pros:
Ease of reporting features, processing of POs. Inventory w/s adjusting & transfers really help define what is happening with inventory. I liked the web integration & training I received.
Cons:
Not a fan of some reports as they are not able to be cross referenced. I ultimately would hope to see down the line that a report that can pull style master data from not just the master sheet itself but also the sales tab to see COO and care (which I know it can do) but also the cost/spec sheet and list the materials used and the content that is attached and built in that field. This is a struggle to have to dive deep into the style for each info.
A2000 Functionality
Comments: Great, I have full support from the A2000 team. They have assisted me with anything I needed
Pros:
How well A2000 performs, it is easy to navigate and easy to learn
Cons:
A2000 does not have the functionality to perform audit trails
20 + year user
Comments: Over 20 years of daily use, says it all.
Pros:
Custom fit for the apparel industry. A one fit solution to our needs.
Cons:
There are so many reports - that it takes you awhile to determine which ones fit your needs. However, they will also custom create one to suit your needs.
A2000 Review
Comments: Overall, I am happy with the product.
Pros:
Ease of use, and that we can access info quickly through multiple modules The system is user friendly.
Cons:
Would like an inquiry for one customer, all PO's regardless of the status of the order within a certain date range.
A2000 review
Comments: GCS’s A2000 system has been an excellent fit for our blank and decorated apparel business and integrates well with all of our other applications, websites and portals. The SaaS offering has been a game changer for us providing both stability and peace of mind. The GCS team has been a great partner both during implementation and as we grow our systems. Their input on our process improvement projects has been invaluable and they frequently provide alternate suggestions that had not occurred to us, a true partner in innovation for us.
Pros:
The integration within the system and the ability to integrate to our other systems is awesome. Always one source of the truth within A2000. The system is very adaptable and easy to learn and use.
Cons:
The warehouse functionality is not as robust as we would like. Still works very well for us, we'd just like to see additional features to help us further automate processes.
Easy to learn and use, abundant functionality and a great value for the money.
Comments: Great value for the money. Very scalable. Perfect for both small and large organizations. Fully functioning warehouse module with scan/pack, scanned receiving and storage locations. Great for both drop ship as well as large shipments. Integrates with the most widely used Ecomm platforms as well as other third party software.
Pros:
Everything is integrated into one system. From accounting, EDI, PDM to WMS. The system is very stable and has the functionality to handle almost all aspects of the business. Easy to setup and migrate data in and out of the system.
Cons:
As with every ERP system that I have ever used or looked at, could be a little more robust in import production tracking.
Functional and very easy to learn. Good for both small and large organizations.
Comments: The system as a whole is efficient and meets our needs.
Pros:
All modules are fully integrated from EDI, WMS, Sales and Accounting. The system easily grows with your business. It integrates with most E commerce platforms and third party software such as GXS and various Vans.
Cons:
As with all ERP systems the needs are subjective. The system could use a more robust reporting module and contractors payable.
Used to upload orders and keep track of sales
Pros:
The ease of uploading orders and getting selling reports by style, season, and customer. It was also easy to input re-orders and see the ATS available to prevent over selling.
Cons:
It took a lot of screens to get to the report you needed. We were not able to do our projected buys with the software we had and could not upgrade without a fee
best apparel industry software!
Pros:
This is hands down the best software for anyone in the apparel industry. Our industry in unique and this is tailored to our needs. From production to order processing to accounting, EDI and warehouse management..A2000 makes it all simple. Super easy and user friendly. The system reports are great and customizing them is easy. An added bonus is that most of the staff at A2000 has hand on garment center experience so they truly understand our needs.
Cons:
There are no cons. This is a fabulous product.
A2000 Software
Comments: Best support team, always get back to us in timely manner.
Pros:
The flexibility .....the ability to import/ export data with little or no training. Menus are user friendly, compatible with any software.
This is software does the work!
Pros:
As far as getting the results your expecting from the program itself, it's good. Although, if you're looking at it from a "techy" point of view and something innovative. This is not the program for you.
Cons:
The program all together is great but what didn't work for me is the old software it runs on. Sometimes it would freeze my whole system and decided to move on.
Large Output Company - VERY Impressed
Pros:
High quality product, reliable customer support, and configuring capabilities. We manufacture over 45,000 SKUS and are able to keep track of everything at a very reasonable price.
Cons:
Smaller companies with less output would not see the financial benefits / analysis reports would not accurately reflect actual production numbers
