"Acctivate with Quickbooks enterprize"

4.5/5

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acctivate Inventory Software?

The preparation and transition was extensive. The was a formidable learning curve for our small organization Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Some pro's and cons that we have encountered"

4/5

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acctivate Inventory Software?

Sometimes the canned reports aren't easily customize-able. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to use"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Acctivate Inventory Software?

How easy it is to transition from another software to this one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acctivate Inventory Software?

the system glitches and the problems that the updates cause for our workstations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

System seems to be more oriented for a store based business that has online sales as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

Response from Erica Avila of Acctivate

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.

"Essential functions crash the whole program."

2/5

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. 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.

Response from Erica Avila of Acctivate

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. Our apologies for any inconvenience you have been experiencing.

"Acctivate as a CRM, an Inventory Management, and a CS tool."

5/5

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acctivate Inventory Software?

My main dislikes are the crashes and not having Reports that work exactly as we need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Acctivate Inventory Software:

Having an in-house IT to spearhead the project of switching to Acctivate will be really Helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Erica Avila of Acctivate

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,

"Acctivate Review"

2/5

What do you like best about Acctivate Inventory Software?

That Acctivate maintains customer order history. 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Erica Avila of Acctivate

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/.

"Fantastic, especially for the cost"

4.5/5

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Acctivate Review"

4/5

What do you like best about Acctivate Inventory Software?

I like the fact that Acctivate offers many different reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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 a lot of the reports the fields are defaulted to equal to and you don't have the option to change it. Another thing is 40% of the time when you are trying to sign in you can't get your log in to pop up. It freezes up a lot. I have figured out to hit Esc and most of the time it corrects itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Erica Avila of Acctivate

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.

Best,

Erica Avila
