The timeline / transactions / history features are very helpful for cross-reference purchase orders, products and customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Acctivate Inventory Software? It is very cumbersome and not intuitive or user-friendly. The training does not help much with the implementation, because in our case, there are many very specific factors to our industry that are not considered at the beginning, and we've had to find alternative solutions to problems that may not apply to other types of businesses. Also, most likely, you will need customized reports and still not be able to get all the info you need. The program is not very visual, in terms of what fields must be filled out on every screen/tab, and displaying too much information on one screen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Acctivate Inventory Software: Make sure the system is compatible with your business and industry. Also, the software would be more helpful if you have your own warehouse to manage, but not if you are using a 3PL. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Acctivate Inventory Software solving and how is that benefiting you? Nothing so far, compared to the previous system we had. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ability to sync with our web store, QuikBooks, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Acctivate Inventory Software? Having to click edit to start working on anything. I'd much prefer just being able to start typing.

Show More Response from Erica Avila of Acctivate [Editedit](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/acctivate-inventory-software-review-674444/official_response/edit) Hi Hunter, I have the same problem with the spelling of ‘Acctivate’, too. It really got me when I first started working here. It is great to hear that you are finding the sync between QuickBooks and your web store with Acctivate to be seamless. In terms of the search capabilities, they have significantly improved through the years, but I do understand the productivity benefits via incremental search directly from a window. I’ve presented this as a consideration for future UI enhancements. But I also would like to add that our Lookup functionality via the magnifying glass is very powerful and does have incremental search. There are filters that can be set to get the results you need faster. Take a look at https://help.acctivate.com/articles/21402/ to see how to do that. You also mentioned that there are challenges that can negatively impact user experience. We strive to deliver fixes and enhancements via updates, but if you are experiencing issues after updating, our support team can assist. You can call Support at 817-870-1311 or open a request at https://help.acctivate.com/requests/.

I like the ability to see emails sent out of Acctivate to customers with the attachments on each order (sales or purchasing). This gives me a good base to look back on to check my work when a problem arises. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Acctivate Inventory Software? The reorder tab constantly crashes and glitches. This means I have to manually force Acctivate to close. This also happens when trying to attach something to purchase orders. If I click something to take away from uploading it will glitch and that is the only screen that will appear when I try to close and go into anything else till I close the entire program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Acctivate Inventory Software: Acctivate is a little difficult at times. They need to fix all the glitchy portions- it seems like there is a problem with the reorder screen specifically. However, it works decently for us. We use it for Purchase orders to our vendors that link to the Sales orders we have or just for stock and for invoices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Acctivate Inventory Software solving and how is that benefiting you? This isn't a feature I use too often with my job title but I can check and see how much we have of something in each location which is helpful. The only non helpful part of this situation is when I have a partial inventory partial drop ship order then it just looks complicated and I have to go into the order specifically to see where my problem is.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Acctivate Inventory Software? That you can not open Vendor Invoices in Acctivate. . That it doesn't record every person that made changes to invoices, or sales orders, etc. When posting inventory counts it doesn't show me the current count, but it does show what the system has for the current count on the count sheets. It should be both. Once you enter a count you should be able to adjust it in case there was a mistake during entry. That I can't alter a quantity while creating a PO in the reorder screen.

Show More Response from Erica Avila of Acctivate [Editedit](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/acctivate-inventory-software-review-676237/official_response/edit) Hi Teresa, Thank you for your input and being candid with us. I’d like to further educate readers regarding vendor invoices in Acctivate. While they cannot be directly viewed in Acctivate at this time, they are viewable in QuickBooks and all vendor info syncs from QuickBooks to Acctivate. By default, we do not enable viewing of the current count when posting inventory to prevent any skipping of the counting process or other user concerns. But our support team can make slight modifications to your count sheet document to make that possible. Also, from the reorder screen, PO Qty is a modifiable field along with PO Unit, PO Cost, PO Supplier and Lead Time. Support can also assist with this if you are still finding it can’t be modified. Support is available Monday – Friday at 817-870-1311 or at https://help.acctivate.com/requests/.

It is great to hear about the gains Acctivate has delivered via better inventory tracking. While I understand your direct marketing needs as a retailer, Acctivate is not designed to be such a solution as its core functionality exists in inventory/warehouse management, order management and fulfillment, and purchasing. I apologize for any inconvenience you have encountered with system crashes.
