Accounting/HR Manager Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 3/21/2024 "Transition from Macola to Acumatica" 1.5/5 What do you like best about Macola? All modules are similar, so easy to learn. Reports are sufficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Macola? Ad hoc reports are through Chrystal, which is not user friendly with Excel.

What problems is Macola solving and how is that benefiting you? Bill of Material, A/P, A/R, Invoicing. For a small manufacturing business Macola satisfied most of our needs.

Service Writer/ Shop Girl Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 1/30/2021 "Accounting Assistant" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Macola? Easy input and reconciliations. I used Exact for AP, Expense Reports and Invoices and was able to generate Checks easily and have concise monthly reports for easy reconciliations with my bank statements. There was no guessing would something go wrong as it always went smoothly as you were using it. Even with my larger applications it handled 10,000 items as easily as 100. My banking side with it was always my easiest to get to and finish quickly as it practically did everything for me once I gave it the parameters that I needed. I worked with it and updated for 6 1/2 years. One of my favorites that I used. It was a workhorse and we needed that we went from 21 to 52 centers in my time and I had 30 Centers slated for Construction in Progress that I used Access for my invoices for my Equipment Lease Loans for the Bank and Having the originals in Macola was such a huge help to me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Macola? Compared to Sage/ Abra it was a breeze, so nothing I disliked. Our rep/trainer Jeff super nice always made us feel we were smarter than we believed ourselves to be because of our huge workload. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Macola: If you have large quantities of needs in many departments Macola can help make it easy to view and organize and use for any size business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Macola solving and how is that benefiting you? As I mentioned we were expanding very quickly with Doctors Offices across 4 states and I was handling all the centers Banking doing backup for AP and all the reconciliations for all Credit Cards and Pharmacy deposits. Macola made my AP, my largest account easily manageable and it took so much less time than Payroll on Sage/ABRA. that was 1/2 again as many items. I was in Access so much longer to do half the work as Macola. It's a Powerhouse of Possibilities! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
