104 Acctivate Testimonials

"The biggest thing in Acctivate is the immediacy – the ability on the phone to tell people whether it’s in stock or not, what the price is, what the price breaks are, and to take the order interactively with the person on the phone. By the time they hang up the phone, we’ve already emailed them a confirmation of their order. That process with our old system would be at least a day.”

"We wanted to be able to print a label and a packing slip either one right after the other or on the same label so we could pick and pack easier. We don’t have an automated warehouse, so it’s much easier to have the two labels together. At first, we were printing packing slips through a regular printer, paper form, and then printing out the labels through UPS WorldShip or FedEx Ship Manager – but then we’d have to match them up. Even if they printed out in the same order, physically matching them up was time consuming.”

"Barcoding is one of the best features of Acctivate. We have a warehouse here and one in Colorado that uses the handheld devices and it’s simplified the process and made all of the mistakes disappear that were happening.”

"Acctivate has helped us with the inventory of the products and everything — it’s helped us streamline the entire company. I’d say it’s almost like it’s added 100% improvement to the company.”

"Acctivate’s costing features have been very beneficial because it lets us know more closely where we stand on the costing of our inventory and the true cost of it from an accounting perspective. We were initially attracted to Acctivate because of the costing flexibility – we don’t use multiple types of costing but we have made one change over the years. Prior to Acctivate, we did it through our accounting system but we had a few issues with it. When we added Acctivate, it solved those issues.”

"The ease of being able to find what we need in any given Acctivate report saves us time. Say all of a sudden someone says, “I did this last year, can you find it.” Before we’d have to dig through paperwork to find what we were looking for, but now with a report in Acctivate we’ve been able to find that without spending half an hour or 45 minutes trying to look through paperwork.”

"Acctivate saves us a very, very large and substantial amount of time – it really has been a big timesaver. I can do stuff now in a matter of half an hour to close out a month on my inventory side where it used to take me a day and a half, literally – that’s pretty substantial.”

"Lot tracking over the years has saved us the most time out of all of the features. Before Acctivate, we would have to go back and reconstruct what we did, so being able to go through and just click – that’s easy. As a food company, if you ever have a problem or if a customer ever calls up and says, ‘Hey, I bought this can of crab meat and here’s the code on the bottom,’ we can find from that code which container it came in on.”

"In Acctivate, we can see all of our orders that we put in over time and track by part number if we need to – at any time we can look at our purchase history.”

"It’s much easier for us to be able to service our customers better – we can actually give them accurate quotes on what we have available and how long it’s going to take.”

"We couldn’t do barcoding with QuickBooks and I wanted to barcode all of my inventory and use a handheld. Acctivate was the perfect next step for barcoding. We spot check our inventory and do cycle counts at least once a month. We’ll actually scan the barcode for the products and set the inventory on the handheld. It makes it a lot faster than trying to count inventory manually.”

"Acctivate has made us a more responsive, agile company and that’s been very much appreciated by our customers. We have a lot of overseas customers that are distributors and we are in a much better position to sell to and support them now.”

"We looked at a lot of packages and in terms of value for money, Acctivate gave us a lot more capabilities for the amount of money – it gave us sweet services that most packaged software solutions were asking five to 50 times more money.”

"Acctivate is a no-brainer because it is the only software out there that has all these features and also integrates with QuickBooks.”

"QuickBooks was only able to handle our accounting, not our inventory. We needed something that would be able to manage our large inventory and still be able to talk to QuickBooks.”
