Phocas provides great insight about our business. Once the databases are set up the possibilities of reviewing different parts of the business is endless. We use Phocas in collaboration with our ERP system and most of the time, the synchronization between the two softwares are working fine. Should we come across with issues, the customer success team gets with us and react to our query within a short period of time, and provide us with alternatives, should we not be able to get the results how we originally wanted. It is great to use on a daily basis, and to review certain time periods, so that we can forecast more accurately for the upcoming months. Additionally, the dashboards that can summarize certain data are very handy, giving us a great tool to use during meetings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As all softwares, it takes a while to master all the modules of Phocas, so some might find it cumbersome to navigate around the databases, however it is not necessary for everyone to go into the databases, instead dashboards can be used. Some things might take a while to be implemented in the system, however, if you don't need certain properties or measures to be used more flexibly, you can custom make measures, calculations and properties that can be then used easily. The one thing that might be better, is some more in-depth training videos for the custom mode, as some people might find it harder to use that mode in the databases.

Data is easily accessed and it's easy to slice and dice information as well as adding or subtracting attributes. I use Phocas on a daily basis to quickly review results of prior days activities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes initial setups of dashboards can be cumbersome. Also, data formatting on various sales inquiries can vary (ex. the "variance" option is shown on some data requests under the sales dashboard) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The standout feature of Phocas lies in its seamless integration with external data sources. Consolidating information in a unified platform not only streamlines processes but also enhances operational efficiency and transparency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While the observed constraint may not necessarily be an inherent limitation of Phocas, there exists an opportunity for Phocas to excel in addressing this challenge. As a rapidly expanding enterprise with multiple locations, we encounter a scenario during the budgeting process where a location is anticipated to proceed, yet it is not yet prepared to establish ledgers in the financial system. A potential solution could involve the ability to create a dummy company and consolidate all new locations within it, allowing Phocas to seamlessly integrate and link this information to the respective budgets. Such functionality would prove highly advantageous for our organizational needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Phocas every single day of my working life. It has streamlined the way I do our purchasing, track financials, and control our budget. I honestly can't remember what it was like before we had Phocas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't want to sound like that guy, but I'm going to have to. I don't have a single bad thing to say about Phocas. They have helped me so much in the past 4 years to get to where I am now in my business, which I don't think I could have done without them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are so many ways you can get your data to compare different sets of data together and in view it in different ways, helping us understand our data better.

It is easy to use, and it works with live data, so anyone can go into the interface without waiting to get information from someone else. Also, the ability to export reports is excellent.

I also like all the training they provide and the online resources and support available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When drilling into information in financials, the only thing is that when clicking the back button on the browser, it reverts to the default view, so you have to set all your report settings again, and it would be easier to click back instead of having to unselect all the options to drill down into the transactions.

You also have to reset the report sometimes, as it doesn't pull back your previous settings if you drill back out of information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
