104 Acctivate Testimonials

"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.”

"I found that Acctivate really filled the need for a small business, but still had the capabilities of a larger program.”

"With Access and Excel, there was a lot of room for human error, Acctivate eliminates a lot of that human error.”

"I wanted more pricing options and more price levels than I was able to find in QuickBooks. Now they’re pretty much unlimited – we’ve got custom pricing options and product pricing options with Acctivate.”

"For a third of the price of similar software, Acctivate does more and is much better.”

"One of the main reasons that we wanted to get away from the other system besides the cost, was that it had an ancient accounting system.”

"Overall, I think Acctivate helps a lot on the operational side and for inventory tracking. The added bonus is the customer service piece that we utilize to provide better customer service.”

"QuickBooks can do some of the things that we want it to do, but it just didn’t seem like the right answer to everything that Acctivate could give us. So we thought a combination of the two would make more sense.”

"Acctivate allowed us in real-time to change the components without changing the original recipe, which also helped improve our lot tracking. Let’s say for instance we decided to use a different type of flour, our software before would not allow us to change the recipe and therefore we lost the lot number tracking for that flour. If there happened to be a recall, we would be in trouble.”

"We’re small, I wear about 27 different hats. You can ask me any question about pretty much any portion of our company and I’ll have an answer."

“We manufacture beauty salon supplies, mainly apparel. So, when you go to the hair salon, these are things like the cape they put on you or the apron/vest the colorist wears – we make all sorts of that kind of apparel here in a sewing factory. We also import a lot of hair color tools from overseas – bowls, gloves, foil, caps, stuff like that.”

"Acctivate is an amazing program, and the training that the company has set up and laid out is absolutely amazing—there are some commendable training videos. Lauren was great. I liked being able to work one-on-one with her and set the schedule and the pace. Implementation never would have happened if it didn’t happen that way.”

"When we have hundreds of thousands of bags, Acctivate applies the right cost. If we have the same bag, but two lots or two different POs at a different price, Acctivate gives us the ability to make sure we have the correct costing for the bag per order.”

"I give the implementation process a 10/10 – Acctivate was very easy to learn and everything was walked through very well. Setting up, we got a lot of great support from Acctivate’s staff in the rollout process. Doing the configuration was key – if you don’t have it set up correctly, you can’t use it correctly. We didn’t have much down time and the transition was pretty seamless. Acctivate has some great learning tools and help videos and that was one of the pieces during the transition that was helpful.”

"Acctivate helps us trace our steps. Instead of having to rely on memory, Acctivate keeps a good record of anyone who went in and made changes to specific orders or products and anything that was done after the initial order was placed."
