Are there any Greentree users out there?

Didn't find your answer?

We've had a request from one of our members to set up a discussion group for Greentree users.

This is a great idea, but we wouldn't want to set up a group if this person is going to be all on their own. Are there other Greentree customers out there who would welcome the opportunity to compare notes with their peers and to have a forum where they could pool their experiences to lobby the developer collectively?

The person who contacted us installed their Greentree system this year this year and was disappointed that no such forum existed. If just a few other members express an interest, we'd be happy to set up a group on AccountingWEB.

We have similar groups for Sage Accounts 50, QuickBooks, Exchequer and IRIS users, and some of them provide very useful information. Just comment below or private message me if you'd be interested in joining and we'll let you know when we have a quorum.

Greentree User

Hi,

 

I am the Financial Controller of a UK anaerobic digestion company, Biogen, that implemented Greentree at the start of this year and think such a forum would be a good place for idea and knowledge sharing.

 

Thanks,

 

Matt

Greentree Forum

Hi

My name is Farroakh and I am the Company Secretary for Tata Ltd. We started using Greentree in 2009 . A forum of Greentree users would be ideal for exchanging thoughts and getting more out of the system.

Best regards

Farroakh

Hi,

 

No not after any free advertising, just was giving some background with my post - did not mean to break any rules.  Just looking to get the group off the ground.

 

Thanks,

Greentree Forum

Hi,

I'm Donna and i work for Evolution (ESS) Ltd, I have been using Greentree for a little over a year now & agree a forum would be a good way to exchange knowledge & experiences of how the software works.

 

Thanks

Donna.

No rules broken

What's the problem, Steve?

This was a genuine request from Matt, as many computer users find it very helpful to have a forum to exchange ideas and experiences about their software. We've found that our specialist groups for Sage 50, QuickBooks IRIS, KashFlow, and Exchequer have all been well used and a lot of useful insights have been exchanged.

Contrary to your suggestion, independent user forums can occasionally make life quite uncomfortable for software vendors. However I like to think that it does them good to have the workings of their software and customer service discussed in public view.

PS - One thing we try to avoid is opening groups for subjects that are of no interest to our members. This post was my way of testing the water before committing to the new group. From the replies we've got so far from Matt, Farroakh and Donna it looks like there is a critical mass of interested members.

We'll get to work setting it up in the next day or so.

I would find such a group very useful. 

We have used Greentree for over 5 years now and am happy to share any knowledge that has been gained over this period.

Lots of new members on this thread
Welcome to the site Matt, Farroakh, Donna and DJ2007, all of whom registered in the last few days or hours.

Not saying that you are all the same person ... but it's a big coincidence that "all" of these Greentree users join Aweb and comment on this thread within a few days of each other.

Well a quick 5 mins search shows that a Mr Farroakh Homi Parekh is indeed the Company Secretary for Tata Ltd and Evolution (Electronic Security Systems) Ltd does in fact exist so I think it is unlikely, although still possible, that they are the same people. Wouldnt be good for a company to be caught using their clients names to get advertising.

 

Unfortunately not the only forum where new members are doubted from the off.

I have never heard of Greentree so not interested in the forum.

ERP software

Apparently, it is ERP software (No - I am not sure what that stands for, either) and most of the new respondents are quoted as success stories on the Greentree website.

Not a coincidence

... I am trying to get a forum set up for a ERP system that does not have a massive UK base at the moment, in order to share ideas / experiences etc.

 

On way to do this is to contact others user and see if they are interested and one way to find other user is to look on the website of the software...

 

All the people replying above are genuine and all use Greentree.

 

Thanks,

 

Matt

The group is now live

We have no problem about welcoming new members on to AccountingWEB, wherever they may come from. The more the merrier!

I think there was enough interest to justify creating a group, and have just done so. You can find the new Greentree users discussion group here.

I hope those who do use the software find it a useful resource.

Hi Debs,

Did you ever get a response on this? We'd like to join a discussion group on Greentree - have been users since 2013.

I (and a few others) were disappointed with the 'new' website....didn't (and doesn't) seem as much urgency about that.

Debs,

Happy to help. I was part of the implementation team back in 2013 and I'm just back from maternity leave and am tasked with getting our users using the system properly etc... we use most parts of it from quote - invoice, plus the planner too.

Thanks (0)

Cool - we also use the planner and quote, though we had some bespoke work done, as we are hiring out rooms on an hourly basis. The booking staff are finding the planner a bit non user friendly though - not sure if there are ways to improve that?

Regards

Debs
