D. Partner Chemicals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Chempax is a great option for any midsized business needing a robust ERP" January 2, 2019 5.0 We have been using Chempax for over 15 years and continue to be very happy with it. The best part of Chempax is that they keep investing in the product. There are new releases coming our on a regular basis as they continue to add new functionality and integrate new technology. Datacor is in the process of a generational transition. They have hired a great new management team to keep the company and the product stable for decades to come. As a customer, we are thrilled to see this stability. Pros The support team is very responsive to our needs (we don't really need them for that much, but when we do need them they are always helpful and knowledgeable). Cons We need to buy a new server this year, we would like to see an accelerated investment in a cloud/hosted version of the product to reduce support costs. Review Source PP PENNY P. HR BOOKKEEPER AP Chemicals Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "NEW USER AS OF MARCH 1, 2024" June 10, 2024 5.0 It's a long process to get set up and ready to go live, but our representative was very helpful and we had regular meetings until it was completed. When I have a problem, I find it difficult sometimes to get it straightened out in a timely manner. Alot of emails going back and forth, but can't seem to get some things resolved. It just keeps lingering on. Pros We needed a system that would keep track of our finances and inventory better than in the past. This system will do that for us. Cons I find trying to get reports to print as I want them cumbersome. I know that once you do, you can save that report for later, but getting it to show what you need it to is sometimes frustrating. Reason for choosing Datacor ERP Presentation and the cost of other products that didn't really cover all of our needs. Switched from [Aptean Industrial Manufacturing ERP Traverse Edition](https://www.capterra.com/p/83/Traverse/) They weren't going to support Process Pro Premier much longer and wanted us to switch to a system that we didn't care for and knew we wouldn't get the support we needed. Review Source JM Jeremy M. IS Manager Chemicals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "New Chempax" February 19, 2020 3.0 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. 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. Review Source KB Kristopher B. Project Manager Machinery Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great ERP Experience " May 13, 2025 5.0 Pros Always developing new features and working on improvements. System is easy to use and documentation has really improved with recent initiatives. Cons Not much to say. They're always helpful to resolve or work on anything. Every help ticket is treated as being important and feedback seems to go somewhere. Review Source JV Jaswanthi V. Controller Chemicals Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Chempax usage " May 13, 2025 4.0 Has been pretty good and have been receiving timely support. Pros Ease of use and running of reports for financial purposes Cons Sometimes when we choose an option from various modules the tabs get blocked up and doesn’t open up until a session is closed. We would want tabes from various modules to be open at the same time for financial comparisons. Review Source MU Megan U. Ar Specialist Chemicals Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Megan Ursini" May 14, 2025 5.0 Good, i like the customization and ability to work fast and efficiently. Pros The connivence and efficiency. I like how it feels as your team is here to support in anyway and not just hear the good, but also address the “bad”. Cons Sometimes i find there may be too much info on the screen at once- sometimes hard to find what i need Review Source AD Adrian D. IT Lead Chemicals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great software for chemical manufacturing" May 13, 2025 5.0 The responsive customer support team is very helpful. Pros Datacor's chemical manufacturing focus is great. Cons I don’t have any issues with the Datacor ERP. Review Source LP Lacie P. Vice President Chemicals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best Chemical Software on the Market!" January 11, 2019 5.0 Customer Service is great and the support group are extremely knowledgeable about their software and its functionality. Our implementation was very successful. Pros Chempax offers a complete solution to your chemical accounting needs. The software is specific to the Chemical Industry thus requiring less customization. Most of the features we desired in an Accounting software was already available. One of my favorite features is the Batch Manufacturing module with the Quality Control features. We eliminated hand written QC manufacturing logs. Cons There is nothing that I don't like about the Chempax software. It was the best software purchase we ever made. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer General Ledger Accountant-Remote Chemicals Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "It Doesn't Get Any Worse Than This" October 4, 2018 1.0 Absolutely the worst ERP system that I have ever used. Anyone who has ever used any other ERP system will KNOW that Chempax is TERRIBLE. Pros The name is cute: Chempax. Low cost but then we get less than what we paid for. Cons Purchase Order/PO Receipt/Supplier Invoice/Aged Payables/Select Invoices To Pay/Print Checks/Customer Service. Review Source Response from Datacor October 17, 2018 Thank you for taking the time to voice your unsatisfactory experience with our software. We are so sorry your experience has been negative thus far. Our #1 goal is the total satisfaction of our customers and to make their jobs easier, not harder. We¿d really appreciate the opportunity to further discuss your concerns and how we can resolve them together. Wayne K. Information Manager Used the software for: ### "Chempax VB Review of ERP Software" May 15, 2010 5.0 Best ERP software for the price. Designed for both small and large companies. Pros Great software. Flexable. Can create your own reports and queries without any fears that the next release will cause them to stop working. Tech support group knows their product. Cons None to speak of. Review Source CL Cody L. IT Specialist Chemicals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Datacor ERP C/S" May 21, 2024 4.0 Pros The vast amount of modules availab@e, really not a need for 3rd party software Cons There seems to be a lack of intuitive interfaces. Review Source RD Richard D. Director of Operations Chemicals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Chemical Distribution with Datacor ERP" June 8, 2022 5.0 Pros That it is designed for Chemical Distributors & Manufacturers, this means the software helps us operate the business but also comply with the applicable government regulations. Cons It would have been nice for existing customers give feedback / suggestions on the screen layouts in the .NET version. Some are difficult to navigate / scroll and view all the required information at one time. Review Source GL Gilbert L. gilbert.lorrain@lrbgchemicals.com Chemicals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Datacor ERP Review" June 8, 2022 4.0 We needed and ERP and Datacor was best compromise between the other software provider. Pros Accounting module works pretty well, as well as the manufacturing, inventory and order entry module. The implementation was relatively simple and smothly. Cons The weaknesses of this software are the production planning which is not developed enough for our application to be useable, the preventive maintenance module which is very very rudimentary and finally the standards reports from the system, are not user friendly and their concision not validated . Review Source DR Danielle R. Controller Chemicals Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Chempax Review" June 7, 2022 4.0 The implementation was difficult. I wish Datacor would have had a better way to guide us through this. We pretty much tried to move our old system into this one instead of really making some improvements and having Datacor work better for us. Once we got on the system and got all the kinks worked out, it works wonderful and support is quick to respond. Pros This software is very user friendly and pretty easy to use. It reminds me of an out of the box software to a certain degree. Cons I would organize modules a little differently and allow for quicker editing in areas. Reason for choosing Datacor ERP I was not involved in the research or decision of which ERP to switch. Review Source AH Allan H. Software Analyst Chemicals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Very Good ERP software that is easy to work with." August 12, 2015 4.5 Pros It is very easy to get modifications done to suit the way you do business. If you have good knowledge about Access Databases then it is very easy to add things to the system without having to use the vendor. There is a yearly conference with open forums and training classes, where Datacor teach how to make changes to the software and also listen to the customers requests for features. Updates and added features are released on almost a weekly basis. Cons The licenses are expensive and managing licenses are done per machine and not per user. Review Source MC MERARIS C. Accountant Chemicals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "User friendly" August 24, 2015 5.0 Pros What I like most about Chempax is the AP module because it is very user friendly. I never had any issue contacting Datacor if I encounter any difficulty on Chempax. Cons The only thing I don't like about Chempax is their detail reports on the GL module because there is not too much space on the comments column. The only thing I don't like about Datacor is that their customer service has eastern time hours. Review Source VT Valarie T. purchasing Oil & Energy Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Chempax review " August 26, 2015 3.0 Pros I like that when something is wrong Chempax most likely can tell and not let you proceed. Cons the reason why i least like this product is because i have a lot of inter company transactions going on and i am constantly getting run time errors and when i need to run a report the system hangs up and refreezes on me.

Office Manager Aviation & Aerospace Used the software for: 2+ years ### "from costing to material managment" August 29, 2016 4.5 Pros it's versatility of programming that can be custom tailored to your needs Cons so many options ! Learning them all can be difficult Review Source DO Danielle O. Plant Operations Chemicals Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "I only use Chempax to print barcodes for the different products." August 26, 2015 4.5 Pros I like how when printing barcodes that you can send multiply Batch Tickets through at one time and it prints them all with ease and doesn't get overloaded. Cons The only thing that I don't particularly like about Chempax is when you are printing Barcodes and only need 1 barcode, lets say for instance barcode number 320 that you don't have an option to only chose barcode 320, it still wants to print barcodes 320-1. Review Source RW Robert W. Purchasing Assistant Chemicals Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Chempax is all you need" August 27, 2015 5.0 Pros I like the ease of use, user interface, and fluidity of the program Cons What is not to like? Everything about Chempax will have you speechless. Push this program to its limits, and it will still fight for more. Review Source MB Misha B. Procurement Specialist Chemicals Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Multiple Terminal User" August 27, 2015 4.0 Pros I am able to export excel sheets from the Enterprise task Cons The program is slow when you run multiple windows representing different companies/terminals Review Source MP Mannat P. SDE Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Review of Datacor Chempax" November 10, 2016 4.0 Datacor Chempax is very user-friendly and provides you with the ablity to customize the layout to best fit your work scene. You can easily navigate between the menus. Pros Easy to use. User interface is amazing. Cons Needs you get new license when you subscribe for anything new. Review Source CC Chanmalis C. Lab Analyst Chemicals Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Chempax is the way to go." August 27, 2015 4.0 Pros It is convenience to use with little errors. It is not as slow as SAP, which is great. Cons Sometimes, there's error with printing out the BOL and COA. This is what I don't like about this product. Review Source JM Jason M. Inside Sales Rep. Chemicals Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Okay Product" August 31, 2015 3.0 Pros Once you know how to navigate through Chempax it's a very useful product. It's capable of holding a wide variety of useful information. Cons I do not like how you have to go into different transactions in order to print the sales order, bill of lading and work order. It would be much easier if we could print these from one place. Review Source JG Jesus G. Quality Chemicals Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "How I feel about Chempax" August 27, 2015 3.0 Pros What I like best about this product is that it is user friendly with easily accessible menus Cons What I like least about this product is the fact that you have to purchase new licensing every time you add a new feature Review Source ## Send me user reviews about this product ### Fill out the form and we'll send a list of the top-rated software based on real user reviews directly to your inbox.
