3.5/5

Activate is easy to use. It is easy for me to find information I am looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acctivate Inventory Software?

Cannot view vendor invoices in activate- Sometimes status changed dates are way off Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Acctivate Inventory Software:

There are some limitations with syncing to Quickbooks Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Erica Avila of Acctivate

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.

"Acctivate Review"

3/5

What do you like best about Acctivate Inventory Software?

Acctivate so far has been very user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acctivate Inventory Software?

I would prefer if Acctivate had vendor information in it like it does Customer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Erica Avila of Acctivate

Hi Jennifer,

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,

Erica Avila
