"Decowraps Review"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Acctivate Inventory Software?

The ease of use of the application. It is a simple to understand technological solution for the end user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acctivate Inventory Software?

Lack of auditing of the changes that are made Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Cumbersome"

1.5/5

What do you like best about Acctivate Inventory Software?

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.

Response from Matt Allen of Acctivate

Thank you for sharing your feedback. I value your input and will pass this along to our product team. I would like to schedule a call with you to better understand some of these shortcomings, and determine what we can do to help enhance your experience with Acctivate.

Looking forward to speaking with you further,

"New to Acctivate"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Acctivate Inventory Software?

It is easy to use for the most part and works with Quickbooks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acctivate Inventory Software?

Some of the procedures do not seem intuitive. Everything seems so manual. It does not have much automation and requires me to remember much of what is happening. Also, much information must be updated in QuickBooks, not in Acctivate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Matt Allen of Acctivate

Hello there,

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback on your Acctivate experience. We take each review very seriously as we are always striving to provide the best Acctivate experience possible.

I'm happy to hear that Lot tracking is helping you manage your inventory, I know that's a major strength of Acctivate so it's good to hear that it's working well for you.

I realize that having to add/update certain datatypes in QuickBooks can be inconvenient, but I will say that the list of things which must be created/updated in QuickBooks continues to grow smaller and smaller as new versions of Acctivate are released.

I would love to hear more detail on what procedures you would like to see more automation from so that I can communicate those potential enhancements with my Development team. If you would like to discuss that in more detail, don't hesitate to send me an email at matt@alterity.com.

Thanks again for taking the time to provide feedback on your Acctivate experience.

"acctivate! the best ERP hands down"

5/5

What do you like best about Acctivate Inventory Software?

Ease of use, customization, ability to set different roles for different users. I love how the customer service team is constantly improving their processes, and now I can submit a support request directly from acctivate website. I get an email sent to me confirming it was created, and I can reply to that email to further communicate with the support team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acctivate Inventory Software?

Updates tend to fix issues but cause existing-working things to stop working. However, I do understand that this type of stuff happens across all industries. Fix one thing, break the other. There will always be fires to put out as we continue to change, edit, and improve our processes and flow. The least amount of custom coding you can work with the better as this type of data is the ones most likely encountering issues with updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Acctivate Inventory Software:

If you are currently shopping for a new ERP system, I highly suggest you go for it! Use Mendelson Consulting for the implementation; they made the transition smooth and painless. They were local to us here in South Florida, however, they work all over the country across a broad range of clients in different industries. If you have a problem, I am sure Mendelson will come up with a solution! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We used to manage and count inventory by hand, many many years ago. However, since migrating over to acctivate, all these manual counts are now done from the comfort of a desk looking at accticate. Manual counts have decreased in size however they are still important as you must audit and correct your inventory from time to time. Acctivate allows us to pull reports on products, customers, or POs in seconds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best software and support team for small business"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Acctivate Inventory Software?

What I like best is the relationship I have with the programmers and support staff at Alterity. I like that I can reach out to the staff and get a response in a day or have a quick call to explain any issue. As for the software, I really love how it conforms to our business rules and immediately transcribes units of measurement from orders into our production. I especially like how we can utilize many sources from suppliers with their different names for each component. I'm very grateful that the product serves as a backbone to our ISO and NFS certification processes, and the best part, it's very affordable. Best value of all the ERP systems I've evaluated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acctivate Inventory Software?

Not nit-picky personality doesn't always serve well with dislikes, but there are some basic (IMO) things I'd like to see in future builds - such as a modification to the Crystal Report Viewer that allows naming files automatically from report fields. I'd like to see a way to enter QC data into the workflow process, and I'd like to hide some columns in the Assembly screens that are not needed for batch makers. Other than that, the flexibility of the system far outshines the few minor things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We used Excel to run the company for 20 years, but the complexity and redundancy of the workflow were choking any productivity we had. Our office manager was always jumping between Quickbooks, Excel, Outlook, Word, FedEx, UPS, TrueCommerce, Shipping Companies Online, and Adobe Acrobat. Nothing integrated, and the copying between apps was driving her crazy. Now she's got everything from one app that integrates with everything nicely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Software backed by Helpful Team"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Acctivate Inventory Software?

Tracking serialized inventory is a breeze. The Landed Cost function helps to track freight cost per item. The seamless integration with QB made it an easy choice for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acctivate Inventory Software?

Not a lot we need that Acctivate doesn't do. Some reporting is a little lacking. Exporting some reports to Excel could be better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Great software backed by a great company. Customer service is top notch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Keeping track of Sales Order, especially in today's world of supply chain disruptions. The Order Manager helps our whole company stay organized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Acctivate Inventory Software?

I find that the workflow statuses of the orders help out quite a bit. You can customize them as you need, and when you go through the process the orders get placed where they need to go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acctivate Inventory Software?

The scanner capabilities of Acctivate are where we are running into issues. I am not sure if we are expecting too much from the scanners, but knowing how to be able to do everything on the mobile level would be nicer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
