That being said, my workflow efficiency has gone up. > > **Cons**: When new features come to DDI, they seem to be hard to get used to and integrating to DDI seems to be very complex. ----- ### "An honest review" — 5.0/5 > **Yashika** | *26 October 2025* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: ''Excellence'' is the word I'd use to describe it. What I like about this tool is the capability to manage our inventories and all our products efficiently ensuring productivity. Also it has an optional CRM that is well integrated and very helpful for building new customers and tracking lost sales. Stable and flexible. Excellent Support and responsiveness from their team > > **Cons**: It does not integrate with 3rd party software well and anything you need to customize for your business costs a ton extra. > > Overall, the experience with Inform ERP is positive and solid, especially for wholesale/distribution businesses that need a broad-function ERP system. Users frequently comment that it “just works” for inventory, order management, and analytics and that it brings more structure, visibility and control compared with legacy or simpler systems. ----- ### "Easy to use with great customer support" — 4.0/5 > **Rebecca** | *2 July 2019* | Wholesale | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use, nice interface. Recent updates have made it easy to switch from one screen to another when you need to, but what's even better is that you can hover over certain fields for more information without even having to open a separate window. > > **Cons**: It sounds ridiculous, but their customer service is almost too responsive. When I send an email with a question, they always follow up with a phone call, and while that may sometimes be necessary, it's annoying when it's not, especially when we are having a busy day and would rather keep the phones open for customers. We are a small company. ----- ### "Recommended" — 5.0/5 > **Perry** | *17 October 2025* | Building Materials | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: DDI System’s Inform ERP is intuitive and designed specifically for distributors, combining sales, inventory, and accounting in one platform. It offers strong reporting, real-time visibility, and excellent customer support, making daily operations more efficient and connected. > > **Cons**: There’s not much to dislike, but some features can feel a bit dated, and it takes time for new users to get fully comfortable with the system. > > Overall, my experience with DDI System has been very positive. The Inform ERP platform is reliable, easy to navigate, and well-suited for distributors. It streamlines key business processes and provides strong visibility across operations, while the support team is responsive and helpful whenever issues arise. It’s a solid system that delivers real value day to day. ----- ### "Extremely awesome product" — 5.0/5 > **Gary** | *15 October 2025* | Food Production | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love the fast customer service response that is offered within the company also it's a great tool to to manage and maintain orders and productivity > > **Cons**: Although it is a extremely great product nonetheless I will say it is a quite big expensive which could be considered in the pricing > > Overall I am very satisfied with the product it is very user friendly and allows me to manage my business efficiently ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/1322/inform-erp?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/1322/inform-erp) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
