It allows for flexible configuration of fields, reports, and workflows to adapt to different industries and workflows. > > **Cons**: Complexity: Some users have found Acctivate to have a steeper learning curve, especially for those who are new to inventory management software. The extensive features and functionalities may require some time and training to fully grasp and utilize effectively.Limited Mobile Access: Acctivate's mobile app or mobile access options may be limited compared to some other inventory management solutions. This can be a drawback for businesses that require remote access or mobile functionality for inventory management tasks.Integration Challenges: While Acctivate integrates well with QuickBooks, some users have reported challenges or difficulties in integrating with other software systems or third-party applications they use, which may require additional customization or development work. > > well ----- ### "Acctivate Review" — 4.0/5 > **Paul** | *3 August 2021* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Acctivate brought us up to todays technology in product Inventory and sales control, at a reasonable price. > > **Cons**: The lack of Vendor control, and Vendor Options make things hard. 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. ----- ### "Seriously do your due diligence on this software before considering." — 2.0/5 > **Mike** | *22 January 2024* | Wholesale | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ability to set tiered pricing for each customer and have it "pop up" on quotes or orders. Landed cost by weight was nice as well. > > **Cons**: Inventory management, especially inventory counts did not work. Basic principles of accounting did not work and/or sync correctly with QuickBooks. Their so-called "CRM" was nothing more than note taking. Inconsistencies in verbiage used across quotes, sales orders, Invoices and reports. Very few reports that actually provide good info to run a business, so we ended up running reports through QuickBooks. Or, we'd need to purchase Crystal reports and hire an experience CR programmer. Only runs in 32-bit data while most every other software runs on 64-bit data so integrations don't work well. Their "customer/invoice history" was difficult at best to determine AR issues. Customer service told us that even if Microsoft or QuickBooks were to change their coding, Acctivate would NOT fix their code so customers could continue using Acctivate. You would need to purchase a service contract and only after shelling out thousands of dollars, would they fix the software (you already purchased in full) so that it would work again. Felt like we were being held hostage on an inferior product. They make their money on service on over-priced contracts. Their arrogance was amazing\! > > Works good until you start learning how things actually work in Acctivate. Customer service is terrible. They will not help you past the onboarding process, unless you pay rather large service contracts each year. Videos and help site are too generic to even help you understand how to do something. Unwilling to take feedback. Just an inferior product that will keep taking your money. We are cutting our losses and moving on. ----- ### "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
