Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Nmbrs

  • Coverage is the Netherlands and Sweden only, so any international group will run Nmbrs alongside other payroll systems and reconcile them manually.
  • Most customers buy through an accountancy or payroll bureau, which means the price, the service level and the escalation path are set by an intermediary rather than by Visma.
  • English documentation and support lag behind the Dutch material, which slows down international finance teams trying to understand what a declaration actually contains.
  • The HR modules are basic next to a dedicated HRIS, so companies typically pair Nmbrs with another system and maintain an integration between them.
  • Ownership by Visma places it inside a large portfolio with overlapping payroll products, and buyers should ask where Nmbrs sits in that portfolio before committing to a long contract.

Sage 300 Construction

  • The Internet Archive's capture of Sage's product page on 25 December 2019 confirmed Sage 300 Construction and Real Estate as a distinct 'Other products' entry separate from the mainline Sage 300cloud accounting product, with no price figure published for either.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Both are possible, but most Dutch customers come through an accountancy or payroll administration firm, and the price and support come from that firm.
