## GAINSystems Reviews
  ### 1. Gains has been great partner. our relationship has grown over the past few year and their service.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Moin K. | Ebusiness Analyst, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 07, 2021

**What do you like best about GAINSystems?**

The overall functional capabilities are excellent and give us many options that we never had before. In addition, our data feeds and querying capabilities have enhanced our abilities for assessments.

**What do you dislike about GAINSystems?**

We also have various issues between our data feeds, causing calculation errors that need to be reviewed and some of those residing on our side. Lastly, an enhanced development environment with an exact production copy would be conducive.

**What problems is GAINSystems solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Better simulate network impacts of implementing the new system and then a phased implemented approach. We leveraged a homegrown inventory system that didn't provide the capabilities we needed moving forward.

  ### 2. Best Tool for Supply Chain Optimisation

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Sachin . | Senior Research Scientist-I, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 19, 2022

**What do you like best about GAINSystems?**

I must say its overall functions are enhanced and too good for supply chain optimization. Its data representation is too good.

**What do you dislike about GAINSystems?**

There is some calculations error while you interpret your data which I don't like rest are good.

**Recommendations to others considering GAINSystems:**

If you want the best tool for inventory control and supply chain optimization then go for it.

**What problems is GAINSystems solving and how is that benefiting you?**

For supply optimisation and for forecasting. Manage inventory with this tool. Easy to use.

  ### 3. Supply Planner Using Gains for Replenishment Forecast 

**Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Retail | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 09, 2018

**What do you like best about GAINSystems?**

Cross - SKUL Creates a nice list of items to action. The ability to run this report by a multitude of selection criteria makes it easy to bucket lists of items and pull requirements on each bucket. 

**What do you dislike about GAINSystems?**

Does not handle any stock re balance, system is slow, orders outside of lead time screw up recommendation logic.  The logic for forecasting can be sporadic. 

**Recommendations to others considering GAINSystems:**

If you are looking for forecast for a complex business I would stay away from Gains. Our up time is low, the program processes slow, there are functions of the business we need to manage by spreadsheet due to gains not having functionality 

**What problems is GAINSystems solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Planning for retail demand from a multitude of customers. We have realized the benefits of using BOM's to plan for product launches and safety stock increases.
