## Acctivate Inventory Software Reviews
  ### 1. Acctivate Review

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Textiles | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 26, 2019

**What do you like best about Acctivate Inventory Software?**

It's pretty easy to get figured out and manage your inventory and sales in. The customizable reports can be used for almost any function you want from sending inventory feeds to creating sales reports. Support team is very helpful and quick.

**What do you dislike about Acctivate Inventory Software?**

Some functionality would be helpful, like if applying payments in Acctivate could be synced to Quickbooks or if the Order manager tool would let you perfom actions to PO's by just highlighting them.

**What problems is Acctivate Inventory Software solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We're able to easily keep up with inventory and get accurate routing data for our shipments. Order Processing is pretty seamless and quick

  ### 2. Decent Software for the price

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jason L. | Replenishment Analyst , Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 26, 2019

**What do you like best about Acctivate Inventory Software?**

I like that it is pretty easy to use, It does our inventory management and invoicing. I also like how its EDI compatible. 

**What do you dislike about Acctivate Inventory Software?**

It can be slow at times when invoicing especially if you have a ton of them to do. It would also be nice if it was able to do USPS, FEDX, and UPS labels too. 

**What problems is Acctivate Inventory Software solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I realize Acctivate can do more than what I thought. It does a decent job in managing  our inventory with locations etc.. 

  ### 3. Intermediate acctivate user 

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Glass, Ceramics & Concrete | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 17, 2019

**What do you like best about Acctivate Inventory Software?**

This software is so easy to use. Very simple to edit or update locations, prices, invoices. 

**What do you dislike about Acctivate Inventory Software?**

Nothing really. I do wish it had less issues with our server 

**What problems is Acctivate Inventory Software solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It has helped organize our warehouse and made easy for new employees to understand our systems. I have learned a lot about inventory on acctivate 

  ### 4. Incredible Software & Exception Service

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ken H. | President, Food & Beverages, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 02, 2018

**What do you like best about Acctivate Inventory Software?**

Acctivate does exactly what it is supposed to do and it is very intuitive and easy to use.  I just love the software and I love the team of people who support it.

**What do you dislike about Acctivate Inventory Software?**

There is nothing I dislike!  It has everything I need and then some!

**Recommendations to others considering Acctivate Inventory Software:**

There's no question the software works. It does everything that it is advertised to do.  Furthermore, their customer support is off the charts great! They bend over backwards to make sure you know how to use it. They also have excellent tutorials right on line, so you can find very well prepared materials to keep you operating at the highest level.

**What problems is Acctivate Inventory Software solving and how is that benefiting you?**

QuickBooks cannot effectively manage inventory. And, QuickBooks cannot track it by lot codes that are necessary for managing perishable products. Acctivate has simply changed our company from an ineffective and inefficient company into a professional leader.

  ### 5. Solid program and decent business solution.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ray L. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 17, 2018

**What do you like best about Acctivate Inventory Software?**

The best feature is the self contained robustness that acctivate offers. From an inventory standpoint, we can set all kinds of min/max values and really keep tabs on our products. It can generate tons of reports and custom ones can be made as well. 
In addition, from a sales side, it stores plenty of addresses and the process of submitting a PO or invoicing the order is a breeze.

**What do you dislike about Acctivate Inventory Software?**

It does have a few perceived shortcomings. 
1) Very heavy on the graphic resources: This often leads to improper shut downs of the program, visual errors and memory issues. This has some to do with our choices in hardware, but it is very resource intensive.
2) Pre-auth: Some programs will allow your pre-auth to be adjusted in the upward direction. Acctivate is not one of those. You must delete it and then charge separately (effectively removing double funding from your customer).
3) Sensitive order of operations: There are some actions that must be done in order. If you don't, you end up in an endless error loop that could eat of 5 minutes of your time. For example, if you have a dropship D and a lot number assigned. If you change it to a Stock Shipment (P) before removing the lot number, you will end up in an error loop.
4) Windows: You are only able to have a finite (20's ish for me) amount of windows open. Furthermore, the window button only shows you 10 active windows. So if you are using 15, you can't switch directly to them using the window tab.

There are some more that could eventually be improved upon, but these aren't "deal breakers" just improvement possibilities. 

**Recommendations to others considering Acctivate Inventory Software:**

Have someone on staff who is very computer savvy. Preferably an in house tech to help explain/troubleshoot or communicate with Acctivate staff when help is needed. While there are a great deal of tutorials, you will only be able to get out of Acctivate the same quality of work you can put into it.

**What problems is Acctivate Inventory Software solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Quickbooks records all of our financials as it has much more malleability for transaction needs. However, we heavily rely on Acctivate to track our sales data and inventory management. An area that Acctivate is very strong in.

**Official Response from Erica Avila:**

> Hi Ray,

Thank you for your thorough and valuable feedback.  The areas you have noted for improvement are greatly appreciated and will be taken into consideration for future enhancements. 

Thanks again for sharing and being an Acctivate customer,
Erica Avila


  ### 6. New Company, Needed an inventory management/sales system

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Retail | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 13, 2018

**What do you like best about Acctivate Inventory Software?**

The flexibility to create custom reports that help me get the information that I want. The ease of use that helps me train new employees quickly.  The Order Manager that directs the flow of an order from quotation to delivery.

**What do you dislike about Acctivate Inventory Software?**

Some of the journal entries created in QuickBooks after synchronization are difficult to trace. The inability to look up vendor information outside of creating a PO. The lack of suggested MIN/MAX stocking quantities.

**Recommendations to others considering Acctivate Inventory Software:**

There are a number of options out there.  Acctivate is very reasonably priced for the capacity that it can function.  Acctivate is worth a look and the customer service team has been a big help in solving issues with getting the information that I need.  They are a phone call away and can only help if you call. 

**What problems is Acctivate Inventory Software solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The order manager tab is a quick snapshot of what is/should be going on in each area of our business (i.e. warehouse, dispatch, inside sales)

**Official Response from Erica Avila:**

> I am happy you chose Acctivate as a new company and thank you for your valuable feedback. So that readers have more information, I’d like to point out some of the items you mentioned and resources to learn more.

Regarding tracing journal entries, our Inventory Detail Journal Report in Acctivate can help research journal entries further – learn more about it at https://help.acctivate.com/articles/807/. Vendor info can also be stored in the Product Screen within Acctivate and the PO screen includes a View Supplier Info button for a quick snapshot – there’s more about this at https://help.acctivate.com/articles/1997/. Our suggested inventory reorder quantities are based on a complex formula, which is explained at https://help.acctivate.com/articles/5468/. 

Thanks again for sharing and being an Acctivate customer,
Erica Avila


  ### 7. The software does its job and exceeds in a lot of ways, but undoing mistakes can be a pain

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Dillon  L. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 13, 2018

**What do you like best about Acctivate Inventory Software?**

I really like that orders are very neat and the software is very easy to use if you do not make mistakes. All the functions are intuitive and do not take very long to learn, 

**What do you dislike about Acctivate Inventory Software?**

If you make a mistake with some of the functions like inventory or cost landed, then fixing those mistakes can be very time consuming and difficult. The support often takes longer than we would like. They are helpful, but do not always answer their phone and the online ticket process can be a pain. 

**Recommendations to others considering Acctivate Inventory Software:**

If you are a smaller company that uses QB and needs to an inventory management software then Acctivate really offers a lot for a reasonable price. 

**What problems is Acctivate Inventory Software solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The software has provided an easy way for our purchasing department to receive containers and track different custom orders. The reporting functions have really helped to track sales numbers and margins on our products. 

**Official Response from Erica Avila:**

> Hi Dillon,
Thank you for letting us know how we’re doing. I’m glad you have found Acctivate to be easy to use and easy to learn and have seen improvements in purchasing and gains with reporting. 

Acctivate was designed to streamline processes, most of which is automated, but when human error is involved there are steps that must be taken to correct the issues. I apologize for any inconvenience correcting those errors has caused, but we continually work to make improvements in the system that can also catch errors, such as through warnings. 

I’m sorry to hear you haven’t had the best response times with support. Our team works very hard to respond in a timely manner to every customer support request. We do receive a high volume of requests and take care of them in the order received and based on urgency. We’ve also added additional reps to our Support Team to answer phones more consistently.

Thank you again for your recommendation of Acctivate and feedback.

Erica Avila


  ### 8. Has confused the way I spell Acctivate forever... 

**Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Hunter G. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 13, 2018

**What do you like best about Acctivate Inventory Software?**

Ability to sync with our web store, QuikBooks, etc.

**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. Clicking the magnifying glass before searching, it'd be nice if you could just type in the search field, and it would you know... search. 

**Recommendations to others considering Acctivate Inventory Software:**

1-10 million dollar company that can handle an off the shelf software, great. Larger companies should avoid, customization is limited and updates Acctivate comes up with normally benefits their broader user base but can often negatively impact your companies personal user experience.  

**What problems is Acctivate Inventory Software solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Acctivate allows us to run a business, take orders, and have a history of what we've done. 

**Official Response from Erica Avila:**

> 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/. 

Thank you for sharing,
Erica Avila

  ### 10. Not the best fit, but it works

**Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Victoria K. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 11, 2018

**What do you like best about Acctivate Inventory Software?**

Ability to link transactions 
copy emails to a transaction
various easy ways to search transactions and products
Ability to track items by lot #
Ability to do manufacturing assemblies

**What do you dislike about Acctivate Inventory Software?**

we were sold a service that we have never used
It doesn't work well with the products that we inventory in pounds
It allows for a lot of accounting errors that you have to find on your own 
there aren't enough preventive measures to help keep the costing accurate
basic reports are mediocre and one report adds up the totals wrong and hasn't been fixed

**Recommendations to others considering Acctivate Inventory Software:**

Make sure you spend time monitoring your financial statements for errors in the first few months. Make sure you review what modules you purchased before your implementation ends to make sure everything was setup.  Make sure you understand the workarounds if you have inventory in pounds.

**What problems is Acctivate Inventory Software solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We needed a way to track related transactions and acctivate has been incredibly helpful in that way
We needed to start tracking our products by lot #
We needed a way to start tracking our raw materials for our manufactured products

  ### 11. Acctivate with Quickbooks enterprize

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Keith K. | Administrations Pastor, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 21, 2017

**What do you like best about Acctivate Inventory Software?**

The software integrates well with Quickbooks Enterprize (QBE). Our QBE file had grown to an unruly slow size because of our large inventory. We had to do something before our system failed as Intuit was warning us the file size was getting too large and they could not fix issues with the file. Using Acctivate solved this issue for us and at the same time provided us with a fairly good CRM solution which was another problem we were facing.

**What do you dislike about Acctivate Inventory Software?**

The preparation and transition was extensive. The was a formadible learning curve for our small organization

**Recommendations to others considering Acctivate Inventory Software:**

Form a team of people who clearly understand your current processes.
Develop the workflow in Acctivate using the model company.
Develop a good test plan to resolve workflow issues early
Provide training to users early using the model company and before go-live

**What problems is Acctivate Inventory Software solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Acctivate resolved our excessively large Quickbooks Enterprize (QBE) file issues and also gave us a reasonable CRM which we needed. It integrates well with QBE and fixed our file size issues.

  ### 12. Some pro's and cons that we have encountered

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** David S. | Online Sales Marketing Manager, Financial Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 21, 2017

**What do you like best about Acctivate Inventory Software?**

I love that the capabilities seem endless. The Dashboard is amazing. The inventory management is exactly what we needed. 

**What do you dislike about Acctivate Inventory Software?**

I do wish it was better at reports. Some of the reports that I would like don't exist without Crystal Reports and Crystal Reports seems very expensive per user. I wish I didn't need Crystal Reports to get what I need.
Sometimes Acctivate is glitchy and just closes down. Some times it changes the number of pieces I enter on the line items. It does not transfer the invoice reports to Quickbooks very well at all. All of our customer part numbers have to  go in the special instructions field but this field does not show up if we email the invoice from Quickbooks. The invoices look horrible when we email them from Quickbooks.

**Recommendations to others considering Acctivate Inventory Software:**

Almost anything that is not included in Acctivate can be added with addons. 
Its inventory management but also a CRM built in. No need to use a separate CRM.

**What problems is Acctivate Inventory Software solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Acctivate has helped us for any of our current CRM needs and has everything that we will need for our CRM needs in the future as our company grows. The Dashboard is amazing, giving everyone that logs in a great view of how the business is doing or has been doing. The fact that Acctivate almost acts as a building block that can have addons installed into it to make it more versatile or cover any needs that is not already included is definitely a great benefit. We used to have to manually create labels for every line item that was sold and now its all automated thanks to a report we had created and added to Acctivate. A huge benefit is the Inventory Management. We have more inventory than what can be managed manually so the inventory management has helped us immensely. Our business comes to a halt without inventory so this is a big deal. 

  ### 13. Great Inventory Management Software! 

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Automotive | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 21, 2017

**What do you like best about Acctivate Inventory Software?**

While we also use it for sales and customer management, I really like the inventory management features the best!

**What do you dislike about Acctivate Inventory Software?**

Sometimes the canned reports aren't easily customize-able. 

**Recommendations to others considering Acctivate Inventory Software:**

No product is perfect and covers ALL of your software needs; however Acctivate's ability to work with QuickBooks allows us to have a product for our inventory and customer/sales needs much better than what QB can provide alone. It has worked very well for us for over 10 years and has continued to improve each year. The company also does a tremendous job of providing training and webinars when there are improvements and changes!

**What problems is Acctivate Inventory Software solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are an extremely fast paced distributor, so Acctivate allows us to manage our sales and order processing, as well as our large and complex inventory needs! 

**Official Response from Erica Avila:**

> Thank you for being a valued customer for over 10 years. We appreciate the time you took to provide thorough feedback. We are very happy to hear about all the ways Acctivate is helping your company. 

Best,
Erica Avila


  ### 14. Easy to use

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Alex o. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 12, 2018

**What do you like best about Acctivate Inventory Software?**

How easy it is to transition from another software to this one. 

**What do you dislike about Acctivate Inventory Software?**

Freezes all the time. Getting stuck in a loop hole when an error message pops up and you can't exit without restarting the program. It's slow. 

**Recommendations to others considering Acctivate Inventory Software:**

Please fix glitches. For example, when entering a transfer, if you enter the wrong warehouse it will not let you simply change it. You need to reenter it completely with all the same information again. Acctivate also gives stupid confusing instructions. Please fix that asap. 

**What problems is Acctivate Inventory Software solving and how is that benefiting you?**

As stated above. 

When the system is fast and working correctly it helps ease my workload. 

**Official Response from Erica Avila:**

> Hi Alex,

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. I am sorry for any inconvenience you have experienced. We would like to look into the issues you mentioned further and learn the causes, in order to help resolve them. Please contact Support at 817-870-1311 or online at https://help.acctivate.com/requests/. We are ready to help.

Kind Regards,
Erica Avila


  ### 15. a learning experience

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Logistics and Supply Chain | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 27, 2018

**What do you like best about Acctivate Inventory Software?**

the support staff is always available to help with issues or problems that arise and to answer any questions we have. The turn around time between requesting support and getting a solution is very good. 

**What do you dislike about Acctivate Inventory Software?**

the system glitches and the problems that the updates cause for our workstations

**Recommendations to others considering Acctivate Inventory Software:**

System seems to be more oriented for a store based business that has online sales as well. 

**What problems is Acctivate Inventory Software solving and how is that benefiting you?**

we are able to streamline our internal processes, limit the amount of papers we have to print on a daily basis, and limit the amount of times one process crosses our employees desks. We are much more efficient today and can manage our time better because of the program

**Official Response from Erica Avila:**

> Thank you for sharing your helpful feedback. We are happy to hear about your satisfaction with our support team, as well as the increased efficiency and productivity Acctivate has delivered. 

Acctivate is designed for online retailers, distributors and light manufacturers alike and offers multi-channel order management, but I do not know specifics of the features that you need that may not be accommodating your business type.
Regarding the glitches and update issues you are experiencing, support can investigate this further. Sorry for the inconvenience you have run into with these challenges.

We appreciate you being an Acctivate customer and taking the time to provide input.

Erica Avila 


  ### 16. Essential functions crash the whole program.

**Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Retail | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 17, 2018

**What do you like best about Acctivate Inventory Software?**

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. 

**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.

**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. 

**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.

**Official Response from Erica Avila:**

> Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. Our apologies for any inconvenience you have been experiencing. Our support team is standing by (Mon-Fri) ready to help with the issues you have noted. Please bring these challenges to their attention by calling 817-870-1311 or online at https://help.acctivate.com/requests/.

  ### 17. Acctivate as a CRM, an Inventory Managment, and a CS tool.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Retail | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 13, 2018

**What do you like best about Acctivate Inventory Software?**

I like the business activities the best. They are tied into every aspect of the software, and can completely be customized to the business's need.   I also think the Lot numbered inventory management is great, We keep much better track of our inventory.  The dropship PO's being created from sales orders is another feature that is really liked and utilized in my company.  

**What do you dislike about Acctivate Inventory Software?**

My main dislikes are the crashes and not having Reports that work exactly as we need.  

**Recommendations to others considering Acctivate Inventory Software:**

Having an in-house IT to spearhead the project of switching to Acctivate will be really Helpful. 

**What problems is Acctivate Inventory Software solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Order Management is a great feature assuming Min Max values are setup appropriately for each product.   It really helps keep the process smooth and on top of having enough stock on hand.  Over time as we adjust the Min max values based off of previous sales, it makes it so we only have stock on hand that is needed. 

**Official Response from Erica Avila:**

> Hi, 
Thank you for the 5-star review. We appreciate the time you took to express the value you have found in Acctivate, as well as where you have found improvements are needed. Sorry for the inconvenience you have experienced with crashes. This is not a common occurrence and we would like to investigate this further. If this is still happening, please submit a support request via https://help.acctivate.com/requests/ or call Support at 817-870-1311.

As for reports, the 100+ standard ones have default settings and can be easily modified for the information you need.  I recommend looking at the resources on our help site to get the most out of your reports (https://help.acctivate.com/learn/reports/). If you need further assistance our support team can help you make slight modifications. If you require more advanced reports or added functionality to an existing report, support can also get you in touch with an Acctivate Consulting Partner to assist with your reporting needs. 

Best,
Erica Avila


  ### 18. Acctivate Review

**Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Teresa F. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 16, 2018

**What do you like best about Acctivate Inventory Software?**

That Acctivate maintains customer order history.

**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.

**What problems is Acctivate Inventory Software solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It maintains customer information and order history very nicely.

**Official Response from Erica Avila:**

> 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/.

Kind Regards,
Erica Avila


  ### 19. Fantastic, especially for the cost

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Apparel & Fashion | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 10, 2018

**What do you like best about Acctivate Inventory Software?**

The software addressed many of the needs of a growing business, from sales order management to inventory and fulfillment.

**What do you dislike about Acctivate Inventory Software?**

Would like more options in the area of permissions throughout the application. Audit trail is virtually non-existent and would like a stronger landed cost module.

**Recommendations to others considering Acctivate Inventory Software:**

In our use of the software, Quickbooks continues to be our accounting software as it is directly integrated with ACCTivate. It is imperative that if you are considering this configuration; your Quickbooks MUST be clean and organized. Take the time to organize your company in Quickbooks and address any lingering issues before rolling out ACCTIvate. This will ensure a painless integration.

**What problems is Acctivate Inventory Software solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The ability to allocate inventory on an order by order basis, reserve stock and improved visibility of stock via the use of bins has greatly improved fulfillment rates as well as inventory accuracy.

  ### 20. Acctivate Review

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Glass, Ceramics & Concrete | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 13, 2018

**What do you like best about Acctivate Inventory Software?**

I like the fact that Acctivate offers many different reports.

**What do you dislike about Acctivate Inventory Software?**

That half of the reports aren't complete. Example: reports - order processing - salesperson sales - your fields are only date and salesperson. The name of the report is Product class by salesperson you don't even offer the product class. 
On alot of the reports the fields are defaulted to egual to and you don't have the option to change it. 
Another thing is 40% of the time you  when you are trying to sign in you can't get your log in to pop up. 
It freezes up alot. I have figured out to hit Esc and most of the time it corrects it's self. 

**What problems is Acctivate Inventory Software solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Being able to have more control over your inventory. 

**Official Response from Erica Avila:**

> Thank you for sharing feedback about your Acctivate experience. Right out of the box our standard reports use default settings. But we know that each customer may need to personalize them a bit more, and Acctivate makes it easy to manage all the reports in your system. 

You pointed out that the Product Class by Salesperson report does not offer product class as a filter, and that is true by default, but Admin users with access to the Configuration Manager can quickly add Product Class as a filter in the Report Catalog. You can add or change the filtering criteria of any report to meet your business needs. For further explanation on how to do that read our help article at https://help.acctivate.com/articles/856/. 

Our help site (https://help.acctivate.com/) is a great resource to assist with quick ‘how do I’ questions and we also have several training videos and recorded webinars. I think our webinar about maximizing data with Acctivate standard reports would be very helpful to you and your team (https://help.acctivate.com/webinars/std-rpts-july-17/).  

In addition, to these online resources our support team can also assist with slight modifications of standard reports like you are describing. You can reach out to them at 817-870-1311 or submit a support request at https://help.acctivate.com/requests/. They can also investigate the other issues you are experiencing.

  ### 21. For our application the software has some better reporting than QB, but very similar in abilities.

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Machinery | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 10, 2018

**What do you like best about Acctivate Inventory Software?**

The detailed reports that can be pulled is a plus.  Business alerts are nice to have all the information located on one central screen.

**What do you dislike about Acctivate Inventory Software?**

Support call back times have lengthened.  Will get stuck in continuous loops often and the program will shut down.  I wish this had a feature to sync the data between QB in the background and then also be able to fix sync items without calling support.

**Recommendations to others considering Acctivate Inventory Software:**

Make sure you understand the capabilities, especially if you have different divisions in your company along with being a manufacturer may not be the right fit.

**What problems is Acctivate Inventory Software solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We have realized that having an inventory software such as Acctivate has saved time wasted having to always guess where parts are in the warehouse or in the flow of work in progress.

  ### 22. Great for Inventory tracking difficult for any customer interaction.

**Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Retail | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 18, 2018

**What do you like best about Acctivate Inventory Software?**

I appreciate the depth in which Acctivate goes into within products, cycles, and Stocking levels.

**What do you dislike about Acctivate Inventory Software?**

The system crashes often, the out of the box reports need constant updating to work and it is difficult to get the information you need in a short amount of time. 

**Recommendations to others considering Acctivate Inventory Software:**

Expect the system to lack in a direct marketing retail situation. 

**What problems is Acctivate Inventory Software solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Acctivate has increased the accuracy of our inventory and allowed us to organize our warehouse in a manner that is much more streamlined. 

**Official Response from Erica Avila:**

> Thank you for taking a moment to share your feedback. 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. Our experienced support is available to investigate this further, please call them at 817-870-1311 or submit a support request online at https://help.acctivate.com/requests/.

This can be done if you have anyone on your team that knows Crystal Reports or we can connect you with one of our Acctivate Consulting Partners (call us at 817-870-1311 if so).

**Reviewed Date:** April 13, 2018

The flexablity. Acctivate can be customized to fit the needs of my company. The integration with crystal reports makes it easy to design reports just for my needs.

I wish that Acctivate had a Vendor Center. It gets vendor information from Quickbooks, which is limited.

Acctivate has streamlined our workflow process. We have seen benefits of improved customer service and more efficient workers.

**Official Response from Erica Avila:**

I've informed our development team about your need for more flexibility concerning vendor info. While this is not something available at this time directly in Acctivate, if there is significant need among our customer base, it could be a future consideration. Although you cannot add or update vendors directly in Acctivate, you can handle vendor pricing, vendor product IDs and lead times via the product screen. 

Thank you for your feedback and continued partnership with us.

**What do you like best about Acctivate Inventory Software?**

Ease of use and ability to access the database directly to create custom apps.

**What do you dislike about Acctivate Inventory Software?**

Could have more CRM like functionality and tighter integration with quickbooks. Also it would be nice if it had more reports built in.

**What problems is Acctivate Inventory Software solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Inventory management is a breeze, creating sales orders and PO's is simple. The main benefit we have with Acctivate is increased insight into our sales and inventory.

**Reviewed by:** Cody M. | Software Manager, Plastics, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

I like the easy integration with QuickBooks and being able to create reports that help me do my job. 

**What do you dislike about Acctivate Inventory Software?**

Acctivate makes billing and exporting to our accounting program a smooth process.

  ### 33. Mostly positive

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Construction | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 13, 2018

**What do you like best about Acctivate Inventory Software?**

Activate is easy to use.  It is easy for me to find information i am looking for.  

**What do you dislike about Acctivate Inventory Software?**

Cannot view vendor invoices in activate- 
Sometimes status changed dates are way off


**Recommendations to others considering Acctivate Inventory Software:**

There are some limitations with syncing to Quickbooks

**What problems is Acctivate Inventory Software solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I work in accounting- so I process invoices which are sent over to Quickbooks- for me it is a fairly simple process and I can easily see what is left open on POs

**Official Response from Erica Avila:**

> Thanks for sharing your helpful feedback on Acctivate. I'd like to take a moment and address some items you mentioned to educate readers what all is possible.

Regarding the ability to view vendor invoices directly - that feature, while not directly visible in Acctivate, is viewable in QuickBooks today. Acctivate syncs with QuickBooks (bi-directional), so you can see the details of the PO invoice on your vendor bill and in Acctivate key vendor info per product (e.g. vendor pricing, product IDs, lead times, negotiated prices and more).

Although we don't have further insight on what you consider a "limitation", you can see what all can be synced between Acctivate & QuickBooks at https://help.acctivate.com/learn/quickbooks/.

If you are still experiencing the issue on status changed dates being inaccurate, please call our U.S. based support team at 817-870-1311 or online at https://help.acctivate.com/requests/ and they'll work with you to get it resolved.

We appreciate you being an Acctivate customer and taking the time to provide valuable feedback.

  ### 35. Great "lite" ERP software for small busines

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 21, 2017

**What do you like best about Acctivate Inventory Software?**

All of our most important information is in one place: customers, orders, POs, and invoices.

It'd be nice to have a bit more customization on certain things (like pre-populating email addresses in email message templates). That said, Alterity is constantly improving the product based on customer feedback.

They offer live demos and trials -- definitely check it out.

**What problems is Acctivate Inventory Software solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We've become a significantly more agile company -- we can now respond to customer orders in hours rather than days.

N/A

**Official Response from Erica Avila:**

We appreciate you as a customer and the time you took to provide input. Today, the vendor center in QuickBooks is the ideal area to view vendor info, but I do understand the need for further vendor info in Acctivate (this will be taken into consideration as a future enhancement). Some vendor info can be stored in Acctivate per product via the Vendors tab and can be viewed via purchase orders (more info at https://help.acctivate.com/articles/1997/). 

Best,

Inventory control all in one place, ordering, receiving, billing and being able to see inventory in real time. Also that it synchronizes with Quick Books.

I really like that lots of information can be stored and accessed in reports in widgets and through quick look ups.
