TAIFUN Software GmbH

Long, open error list: Programming errors not fixed despite repeated reporting for 5 years in the meantime:
- Database structure not consistent (GUID)
- when updating the transaction data, the supplier no. is deleted (what else is deleted?)
- Module production of services unusable: Production orders cannot be added / calculated (can only be done by deleting and recreating - problem with ISO9001 due to requirement to be able to track changes)
- Calculation not suitable for manufacturing companies
- Inventory cannot be broken down by areas
- Standard evaluations for controlling not possible (inventory turnover, current orders on hand, incoming orders, etc.)
Conclusion: Open Business is NOT a good ERP for companies with MANUFACTURE

I would prefer to give negative stars.
For me, the software is not intuitive at all and therefore completely useless. After more than ten hours of trying out the software, I still can't write an invoice or an offer by heart.
The support only tells you to attend training courses and then you can use the software by heart because it is explained there.
For me, a software where I need training even for basic things is defective.
You can not withdraw from the contract because the support is quite uncooperative. Thus I have now 2500€ in the sand set.
I advise everyone to leave the fingers of it.

Good course, short and crisp! One comes along well and the program is very user-friendly!

Christian Bohr explained the Taifun software very well and I recommend the course with him.

Beautiful Saturday morning

With the Mr. Bohr

Very good

Quickly understandable as a beginner

A rudimentary system for the craft business. Completely missing the customer application or advertised target group.
Logical and intuitive structure of standard requirements, to an order management program in this price range, sird presupposed, but unfortunately in Taifun not nearly given.
Instead, however, Taifun loses itself "in love with detail" in sub-items that no one needs in everyday life!
These lead to the fact that with 100% certainty standard processes are "incorrectly" accounted for, because in the deepest Taifun madness a "tick" was not set.

So in Taifun zich material catalogs can be created and managed, but ever to find favorite articles again, is almost impossible without the article number "by heart" to know.
This also degrades the mobile connection to a "timesheet". If the installer does not have the original article number at hand, the correct article is never listed. The full text search is also useless.
The search tree is a good approach, but its structure and very time-consuming maintenance make it rather unusable.

Standard orders can be processed relatively well by the installer in the app. However, as soon as the order deviates from what is "standard" in the trade, Taiifun is completely helpless!

The result, after the shortest time of use of Taifun, is a no longer manageable "jumble" of documents, which are consequently to the financial disadvantage of the user.
"Projects" are then the "super disaster" in Taifun!

We have been working with order management programs for 20 years. Since it is possible, also with mobile versions.
Switching from our old "Access" based niche program to Taifun was supposed to be the "modern" solution. Unfortunately, we were blinded by the few good solutions.

The bottom line.
Taifun has a few good ideas, but the predominantly poor workflow makes them irrelevant.
After about 200 hours of work in Taifun, the support turned out to be the biggest plus of Taifun. This is very good! Unfortunately, it is also absolutely necessary.

Therefore, who wants to lose his operational overview after a short time is very well advised with Taifun. Who wants to collect data about the customers, with operating instructions, pictures, etc. and all that legally compliant will have his friends at Taifun.
Also, Taifun ALWAYS offers the possibility of contacting support for even the smallest applications (so that they can prove why some logical operation is not possible.....).

The company that is dependent on effective work and generating profits should thoroughly reconsider the purchase of Taifun.

We have been working with TAIFUN since the company was founded (2012) and are very glad that we chose this software back then. The structure, the operation, simply all the benefits that TAIFUN offers for daily office work are worth every euro! The functionality of the program is easy to understand for everyone after a relatively short training period. An unbeatable advantage is the modular structure: you simply add what you really need and are not forced to buy an expensive complete package.
From the "lone fighter" to the large company, we can recommend this software to any craft business with a clear conscience.

I've been using the Taifun software for just under a year, and I'm very satisfied. From my point of view, it's a progressive software that is constantly being developed further, and the mobile connection via app works wonderfully - I personally think that was the main reason for switching to Taifun. You can reach the hotline relatively quickly, and the availability of the hotline on Saturdays is - from my point of view - a unique selling point. The sales representatives and software consultants are very honest, they don't sell you anything that doesn't fit the current status of the company. Mr. Kehm is wonderfully direct and honest, you know where you stand and can deal with it wonderfully. I can recommend Taifun Software at any time. Greetings Michael Winter

For the master course a good and informative training

Very friendly and competent.

Very good and nice advice, it is also taken the time to discuss everything.
It is also very pleasant that is often asked whether everything works smoothly or something could still be improved.
Satisfied all around and just keep it up.

You are a Horny Piece of DNA!!!!!

Thanks again 😊

I had a very nice and informative conversation with Mr. Kaluscha. He really showed me from A to Z what the software can do. Very fascinating and recommendable!

Just had our appointment with the Mr. Kaluscha and we were very satisfied.

very satisfied I was with the advice of Mr. Belakovic, also the project management works very well.

Basically, it is often difficult to give 5 stars everywhere. But compared to other software products, I have to do it this way, even if you could certainly criticize here and there. However, there is no such thing as a perfect solution. However, the mobile site is developing in the right direction and there is still a lot to expect. Thanks to the support, which often helps me - keep it up!

Switching to Taifun software was the right decision for our company. The interaction of the modules is simply right here. The app is also particularly good, as everything here is synchronized with the program immediately. All data is available immediately and everywhere. There are many things that convince us about Taifun, no comparison to our old software.

Liedes Taifun team, keep it up !
