## Reviews

### "Hivebuy - Rockz" — 5.0/5

> **Henrik** | *15 October 2025* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Bei Hivebuy gefällt mir am besten die gute Zugänglichkeit für den Endnutzer, das einfache einstellen von Katalogen und der Super Service der in allen belangen unterstützt.
> 
> **Cons**: Ich kann derzeit keine Nachteile bei der Nutzung von Hivebuy feststellen - da bei Problemen immer Lösungen vom Team gesucht werden.

### "No brainer für den Deutschen Mittelstand" — 5.0/5

> **Christian** | *12 November 2024* | Building Materials | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Set Up per Drag and Drop&#10;Einfache nutzung &#10;Super einfaches Onboarding &#10;starker Support &#10;viele Integrationsoptionen
> 
> **Cons**: Rechnungsmanagement könnte noch mehr Funktion haben
> 
> Hivebuy, ist einfach spitze. Ein schnell und einfach zu implementierendes Tool.&#10;Auf Wiedersehen große IT Projekte um einen P2P Prozess zu implementieren. &#10;&#10;Support ist auch spitze\!

-----

### "Aktualisierung des Dashboard nach Freigaben" — 4.0/5

> **Rüdiger** | *5 December 2025* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Systematischer Aufgliederung der einzelnen Dokumente und und die damit erzeugte strukturelle Abarbeitung.
> 
> **Cons**: Der eingeschränkte Zugriff auf die hinterlegten Dokumente im Dashboard, dieses kann allerdings auch ein internes Problem der Zugriffsteuerung sein.
> 
> Durch Hivebuy ist ein transparenter Prozessablauf entstanden. Als Nachteil empfinde ich das optisch keine Aktualisierung der Seite nach Bearbeitung (Freigabe) einer Anfrage oder Rechnung stattfindend. Eine Aktualisierung muss immer manuell durchgeführt werden, wenn mehrere Rechnungen zur Bearbeitung vorliegen wird es sehr unübersichtlich.

-----

### "Gute Erfahrung" — 4.0/5

> **Mike** | *18 October 2025* | Security & Investigations | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Die Übersichtlichkeit des Shops und die Möglichkeit externe Shops einbinden zu können. Außerdem sehr praktisch den Bestellungen eigene Bezeichnungen geben zu können. Dies mach die Zuordnung bedeutend einfacher.
> 
> **Cons**: Gelegentlich klappt die Übertragung des Einkaufwagens aus externen Shops in das System nicht. Außerdem werden die eingestellten Standard Adressen aus den Einstellungen nicht übernommen. Bei jeder Bestellung müssen die Daten angepasst werden, damit die Bestellung nicht in einer anderen Betriebsstätte landet.
> 
> Allgemein eine gute Tendenz. Einige Kleinigkeiten könnten noch verbessert werden. Die Übersicht und Suchunktion ist gut.

-----

### "All-in-One Lösung, gut umgesetzt" — 5.0/5

> **Recep** | *15 October 2025* | Logistics & Supply Chain | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Übersichtlichkeit, integrierte Lieferanten. Der Aufbau ist sehr simpel und sehr intiuitiv, dies ist der Grund, wieso ich gerne damit arbeite.
> 
> **Cons**: Das passt alles soweit.  Freitext Bestellung könnte man besser gestalten und eine Übersicht der Lieferanten für welche Warengruppe sie freigegeben sind
> 
> Sehr gut. Das passt alles soweit\! Es sind mehrere Lieferanten integriert und es kann super vom Warenkorb zum Warenkorb übertragen werden
