Doing a Daily Sync with Quickbooks does not come with out issues, and tax rounding is Canada is a large issue. We do have SOP's in place to administrate these short falls. > > We have been using it for 6 years now. There was a bit of a learning curve. Once sorted out, we can order receive, pick and sell our product with ease. Database size has been a bit of an issue and Intuit file size management grows quickly. Great product for a mid size business. ----- ### "Basic use only. If you manufacture or assemble items, not good." — 2.0/5 > **Sepp** | *26 August 2024* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Powerful database Smooth Sync with Quickbooks > > **Cons**: Total frustration with recent updates adding more steps to basic functions and changing the design to make core functions multiple button clicks, while obsuring what the user should do. > > We have been using Acctivate since 2017 and was so frustrated we ended our maintenance contract. A windows update 'broke' the ability to print, so we signed up again. Updates in 2023 changed some workflows but we managed. When the most recent update (12.3) came out in 2024 and we lost prior functionality and new workflows are harder, we have once again ended our maintenance contract. I will sum up my experience with Acctivate, both using the program and interacting with the company, with this simple-to-understand issue: As a customer, as a user of the 'internets', (And as a person with common sense) I use support ticket interfaces almost daily. While Acctivate has a support ticket system, once support has answered my ticket, MY INITIAL post as a customer is hidden from view. Think about that - The company removes (hides) my initial request for support and all the effort that goes into asking for help from me, so that when I read the answer the support ticket, I can't read what I first wrote\! Fast forward a few days and I get a helpful email that says \[sensitive content hidden\]' has not been updated in several days, should we close it? UMMM - what is that ticket for? I have posted well over 120 support tickets, few of which have ever been addressed. And they are closed without a resolution and no answer from the company. I WANT to be an advocate for Acctivate. I WANT to be able to recommend them. We have invested 7+ years in developing a system that works, but they don't seem to be able to design a GUI that leverages the power of the info in the system. They have not receptive to detailed requests for improvements that would make thing less confusing and easier to use. I don't think it would take much to make it better, but when each new update changes our workflow and requires more work to do so, with less clarity while doing it? Sadly, I don't know what system out there is better. The two stars are because it does do SOMETHING - it just takes quite a bit of work to get there. ----- ### "Acctivate Inventory Management works well suits our needs" — 5.0/5 > **Bruce** | *13 April 2021* | Biotechnology | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The setup and learning curve were very reasonable, daily use and upkeep is easy > > **Cons**: The dashboard needs to be more user friendly to setup and use (sizing and placing the report boxes is awkward) Some dropdown menus are not intuitive, but once learned easy to navigate > > Very please with our choice ----- ### "Acctivate Inventory Software preforms well" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *22 August 2018* | Wholesale | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is easy to process orders and maintain inventory. > > **Cons**: There are many helpful reports. However, I would like the ability to run my own queries to customize the information I need. > > Our inventory is able to be managed in a timely manner. Accurate inventory is key to our business. ----- Page: 1 / 6\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/231862/alterity-acctivate?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/231862/alterity-acctivate) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
