With Cloud ERP by Ximple, the Data migration was flawless. It was our biggest worry changing systems, they made it very easy and simple. One of the greatest things is having access to the management and the design team; they take your input and listen. A great ERP Solution!

Chris Duncan, Duncan Electric Supply UT

The ERP system is very user-friendly, very intuitive, and based on a mobile-type platform. The ability to bring in pricing services has been fantastic, so we’re getting all the spec sheets and all the data, and all the pricing functions from the pricing services. The support from Ximple has been very quick and very simple and very easy.

John Rose,Customer Srvice Electrical Supply TN

As the name implies, it’s simple to use but does quite a bit. We found it very easy to use the software and to make improvements in our business. I’ve placed three of my companies on the platform. The people in all of my companies know how to use the software, so if someone is out or on vacation, someone from another company can actually fill in. And so I also share accounting services between those three companies, so that makes it very convenient for us.
