What do you like best about Western Computer?

From the onset, Western Computer demonstrated a profound understanding of D365 FSCM. Their proven approach ensured the successful implementation within our operations. Their team's expertise was evident in every phase of the implementation process, showcasing their deep knowledge and proficiency in the field.

Moreover, the level of dedication and responsiveness exhibited by their team was truly commendable. They were proactive in addressing challenges, swiftly resolving issues, and ensuring minimal disruption while providing significant process improvements. Their effective communication and transparent updates provided us with confidence and clarity at every stage of the project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Western Computer?

As with any long term project, personnel changes and assigning new resources was somewhat disruptive. Two key members of the implementation team remained throughout the entire project. The Project Manager, Warehouse Management consultant were replaced in the middle of the project. Although, I would add the replacements were just as good if not better than the original resource. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Western Computer:

Western Computer has proven themselves as an invaluable partner, going above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction. Their commitment to delivering high-quality results within the set timelines was exemplary, meeting all our expectations.

I personally recommend Western Computer to any organization seeking a reliable, skilled, and results-driven partner for D365 FSCM implementation. Their professionalism and expertise significantly contributed to the success of our project, and I look forward to continuing our partnership for future endeavors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Western Computer solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our company had aquired another company with two separate ERP systems. We were looking for a new ERP system at the time and ended up merging three different ERP systems into one. We were able to standardize and simplify business proceses while unifying our organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Josie Smith of Western Computer

Hi Chuck,

We are thrilled to hear about your positive experience with our team and the successful implementation of D365 FSCM. Thank you for recognizing our expertise, dedication, and effective communication throughout the project.

What do you like best about Western Computer?

The breadth and depth of institutional knowledge has been a consistently impressive feature. I have not worked with anyone who acted unprofessionally or was in over his head. The subject matter experts know who each other are and can rely on quality help at any time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Western Computer?

On a few occasions, low-priority tickets were not followed up on regularly on their side. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Western Computer:

WC is lightyears ahead of the previous value-added host company we used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Western Computer solving and how is that benefiting you?

We needed an upgraded ERP system. WC walked us through an analysis process that was so impressive, we accepted their SOW and are now working on the design phase. Transitioning to the next generation of software to support our growth is a big challenge, but we have a great partner in WC. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Amanda Sherry of Western Computer

Thank you for your feedback on our team's expertise and reliability. We're sorry to hear about the issue with low-priority tickets and will take steps to improve our follow-up process. We appreciate your recommendation and are committed to providing top-notch service to support your business growth.

What do you like best about Western Computer?

The best thing tWC did was to create a Customer Service Agreement with us for a flat monthly fee, so that we didn't need to battle over large billables for fixes we didn't feel were our fault. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Western Computer?

The biggest downside, in my opinion, is that we believed we were receiving an ERP that was designed specifically for the wine trade, meaning that we wouldn't need to worry about the out of the box functionality and our need for customization would be minimal. The truth is that BC Wine Trade is not intuitive enough and it requires a lot of tinkering to get it dialed in. WC didn't initially deliver what we were promised and it has taken 18 months to fix numerous issues that shouldn't have occurred. We still have a few things to work out but we're feeling like we might finally be at the end of the tunnel of problem solving. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Western Computer:

My advice is to know exactly what you need, and ask a million questions. You will need to be educated and savvy in the ERP, operating software realm, in order to know what you don't know. This is a very expensive upgrade (from Quickbooks for us) and you will get the best results if you dedicate lots of time and resources internally to the design and setup. Do lots of testing before going live. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Western Computer solving and how is that benefiting you?

There have been numerous glitches, bugs, and breaks caused by updates and improper set up prior to Go-Live. Problems have ranged from basic functionality not working (ie: allocations, and currency conversions) to customizations breaking after Microsoft updates, disappearing tables etc. Western Computer has been very responsive and friendly but not always quick to identify and solve the problems. At times they have appeared just as confused as us about why certain things break. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Josie Smith of Western Computer
