Excellent software, but needs manual work
What do you like best?
I own a small company and wanted to upgrade my company analytics from Excel to an ERP. Because I have quite a few warehouses to track, solutions like Quickbooks and Intuit were getting too expensive for me, I wanted a flexible solution, that works on Mac and PC, and also on iPad. I realized that I could install Dolibarr on my NAS by myself and have a great solution.
Everything it does, it does in a meaningful way.
The community is active and helpful - in French and English for me.
Dolibarr can be personalized to your needs.
After more than one year using it, I am a happy user, and my company did progress thanks to Dolibarr!
What do you dislike?
BUT you need to have lots of time available to learn how to install the software. For me relying on a NAS, a minimum of computer knowledge is necessary. I think that some versions exist that can automatize backups and upgrades.
The program has its own logic that's sometimes quite hard to fathom.
Dolibarr feels like a great program to track shipments, orders, purchases, bookkeeping, however you have to keep in mind that it has only basic analytical skills and for myself I rely on 3rd party software (PowerBI by Microsoft) to do the job.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
Dolibarr helps most in keeping track of purchase orders, sales orders and deliveries, and all related payments as well as the payment management plus many things like meeting minutes, warehouse management, CRM, POS sales etc.
