Response from Erica Avila of Acctivate

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/.

Response from Erica Avila of Acctivate

Hi,

Thank you for the letting us know what you love about Acctivate. We are glad you are seeing the benefits of having many tools in one system. Reports can be very powerful and if you are not seeing the detail you need you may be able to make some slight modifications. Our help site has some good info on maximizing reports - https://help.acctivate.com/learn/reports/. But if you still do not see what you need our integration with Crystal Reports allows for creating advanced custom reports. 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).

Thanks again,

Erica Avila

"ACCTivate"

5/5

What do you like best about Acctivate Inventory Software?

The flexibility. 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acctivate Inventory Software?

I wish that Acctivate had a Vendor Center. It gets vendor information from QuickBooks, which is limited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Erica Avila of Acctivate

Hi, thank you for sharing how Acctivate is working for your business. Among the things you like about our software, it is great to hear suggestions for improvements. 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.
