As new users, one of the first things that stood out is how everything updates in real time. That single feature has made a huge difference in how we manage our inventory. Instead of waiting for batch updates or manually reconciling numbers, we can see changes instantly, which keeps our operations smoother and far more accurate. Overall, the real‑time visibility has made day‑to‑day inventory management easier, faster, and more reliable. I’m looking forward to exploring more of the system as we continue getting up to speed. I also appreciate that I can access information from many different places within the system. Whether I’m looking at inventory, customer details, or order history, the data is easy to find and connected across modules. It makes navigating the system feel intuitive and helps me get what I need without jumping through extra steps. > > **Cons**: One thing I find frustrating is the need to manually hit “Update” every time I edit a record. It’s easy to forget, and when I do, the changes don’t save, which slows down the workflow. Having edits auto‑save or prompt me before leaving a screen would make the system feel much more seamless. ----- ### "New Chempax" — 3.0/5 > **Jeremy** | *19 February 2020* | Chemicals | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: The overall software package is good for a small to medium size company. It handles about 80% of our day to day manufacturing processes. Everything from the formulation to the final invoice and even shipping can be done in the software. Not all of it is done well, but it can be done. > > **Cons**: Up till now the primary complaint has been that Datacor has not updated their underlying database for 10 years (not even a patch). However, that in the last year or so they have unilaterally decided that "old" licensing agreements are no longer valid because of all the features they have added over the years and have moved customers to "new" licensing. This includes both cutting user licenses from 400 to 20 "equivalent new licenses" as well as doubling or even tripling the cost of those "new" licenses. This is all to support "new products" that have not come out though they were slated to be released a year ago. Unless you like a company that has no regard for signed agreements, I would strongly recommend you choose another product. > > We have used Chempax for about 20 years. Overall the company has not been bad, but they have been unfair on licensing enough times that I'm more than tired of it. One time we mistakenly violated our agreement and they locked us out of our system rather than informing us of the issue and giving us an opportunity to fix it. ----- ### "Comprehensive Software" — 5.0/5 > **Rebeca** | *4 June 2026* | Chemicals | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The functionality is comprehensive and detailed. Being able to connect documents through our company's system drive is a highlight. > > **Cons**: Needs to be able to differentiate a little more thoroughly on available product for sales and product that is just showing in the system > > Pretty easy to navigate once you know what function to use, and what exactly the function controls and changes ----- ### "Review of ERP" — 4.0/5 > **Jenn** | *27 May 2026* | Chemicals | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is easy to learn and there are multiple ways to get to the data you need. I enjoy using the portals to get to what I need in just a couple of clicks. > > **Cons**: The reports engine. I spend way too much time troubleshooting errors in it for my users, when its an issue of them clicking too fast. > > I like the system and working in it. It makes my job very easy. It is very easy to keep track of inventory and what data is needed. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/320303/chempax?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/320303/chempax) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
