Gründe für den Wechsel zu Megaventory

Vorteile

- User friendly
- Supportive customer support

Nachteile

- The record sometimes may not be accurate but later on change to correct data
- Hard time solving syncing issues with accounting software - Quickbook

Vorteile

The support is very good. We are developing our own "engineering" interface using the powerful API which comes built in. The support team has been very responsive and helpful through this process!

Nachteile

Honestly, I have nothing bad to say. They are responsive when you have issues and genuinely work hard to help you resolve them in a timely manner. This is all I ask of any supplier we have and Megaventory goes above and beyond. It is clear that they understand that their customer's success directly relates to their own success!

Vorteile

I like the overall ease of inventory management that megaventory brings into the field, the customizability and the ways you can integrate with their APIs, they offer ready-to-go solutions for different frameworks, also we've been able to build our own custom integration.

Nachteile

We had issues with the amount of traffic that our company was dealing with, however the megaventory tech team were absolute champions and quickly reacted to the problem and helped us both improving our integration and making adjustments on their end

Vorteile

The easy terminology that exists in combination with the direct support of the company make the program easy to use.

Nachteile

There's nothing I don't like, I'm very excited

Vorteile

I like the accessibility of reports and Customer support. I once had a challenge updating data. A Megaventory team member was available immediately to support check the issue.

Nachteile

Sometimes, when we have high volume of sales it becomes difficult to extract reports

Vorteile

Megaventory technical team provided assistance with our API integration, made necessary adjustments on their side when required, and also supported us in improving our integration.

Nachteile

Some time ago I would say API response time, however that improved drastically over last 12 months

Vorteile

The tools are extensively documented and the team is available to support. All issues raised are addressed quickly and thoroughly.

Nachteile

Functionality is not always straight forward, may require some support or additional processes to do things

Vorteile

The quality of tech support. We were able to accomplish most of what we wanted on our own, but whenever we had tough questions or challenges the Megaventory team was quick to engage and always found a solution.

Nachteile

Reports were sometimes slow to load or timed out, depending on traffic.

Vorteile

Ease of use and great customer service!!

Nachteile

Searching could be refined - we wish it kept our search info after returning to a page/opening a new page.

Vorteile

I like most features of megaventory a lot, because it helps me to create and send, with ease, sales quotes to our customers and also to know at any time how many products and parts do exist in our small business warehouse. I also use it as an archive to write down every warranty demand and the result from our technical staff evaluation.

Nachteile

Sometimes there are time delays between changing pages . When you need to act fast, this may be crucial , as you spend valuable time from your work.

Vorteile

It is very straightforward, so the implementation time is really short. You can pretty much start using it as soon as you buy it, although of course some configuration is necessary. It has a trial version which is amazing because you don't have to sign a contract or pay upfront and only afterwards realize what the software does/doesn't do.
We like that we can manage our procurement, inventory and manufacturing from one solution and that it integrates with SolidWorks. The customer support is also amazing. They answer really fast and help us figure out how to solve our problems. They will also do customizations at request, which we have some times needed, and they delivered to our satisfaction.
In a nutshell, we are getting great value for money.

Nachteile

We would love it if we could have:
1. A purchase requisition process that includes manager approval (our procurement department still receives emails and spreadsheets to know what to purchase)
2. A more comprehensive AP invoice functionality. We can only record invoices that are linked to a PO/material receipt, so the rest of them (electricity bill, insurance, travel expenses) we cannot record in the system. This means we have two sources of payables and that is not good practice. :(
3. Approval limits for POs for different users. Some of our buyers should not be placing orders of more than a certain amount, but we cannot restrict that.

We have not been too deep into costing or shipping functionalities yet, so I cannot comment on those two topics.

Vorteile

We are now using Megaventory for over a year and we are extremely happy with the way it has organized our processes across our two companies. First of all, we could not find another software able to support multiple companies at this price tag. Second and most important: the technical support behind Megaventory is excellent! We wanted to set up some complex inventory views on the system and [sensitive content hidden] from the support team arranged a quick call with us and set it up all by himself at not extra cost. The guys are always available when help is needed.

Nachteile

Not much to say, I don't have any complaints.

Vorteile

The ability to track and modify quantities in all scenarios. Whether its an adjustment, returned item by a customer, a sale, or new stock arrivals.

You can add relationships between each product and supplier. You have the freedom to add multiple suppliers and set costs for each SKU. There are also other features such as, quantity availability for each supplier and many many many more.

Also, there are reports for literally everything you can imagine. From stock aging, to product movement, to purchase reports, sales reports, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Nachteile

There are no ongoing things I dislike. The only thing is the entry barrier which requires integration (Doesn't take too long, especially that the Megaventory team are more than helpful). Also, getting used to the entire interface. It's extremely user friendly once you understand the concept of how things work.

Vorteile

One of the most easy to run software that can manage inventory and create work orders for manufacturing.

Nachteile

The manufacturing administration of the program is not all well developed, but it works out good one e you get familiar with it.

Vorteile

It appears to have a lot of flexibility with displays on the screen, customisable headings and templates.

Nachteile

I wish it were possible to drill down into products within BoMs and purchase orders etc. If you notice some information is wrong /missing at this point, you have to separately go to the Products list and find it. This seems illogical to me.

I find the different types of "price" and "cost" rather confusing, but that might be my lack of training at this point.

Vorteile

Megaventory's ease of use, seamless location wise reporting and great customer support makes it one of the best inventory management tool in its category. Additionally its integration with financial softwares such as QBO makes it a complete cost effective ERP system for SME's.

Nachteile

More flexibility is required in the manufacturing module to analyse budget vs actual costs. Processes that have continuously variable inputs are difficult to tackle in Megaventory especially when it is integrated with the financial modules.

Vorteile

The administrator can easily adjust the permissions of the users

Nachteile

given that is a cloud software, certain activities are quite slow (6-8 sec).

Vorteile

I like the fact that the program is suitable for the production process of our product. The way it keeps track of the materials that go into the products we build, the way how purchase orders are made and received.

Nachteile

What I really miss about in this program:

- A planning feature: It would be really really nice to have a clear overview of all the sales orders with deadlines in a agenda like view.
- A feature to make a work order from a sales order. or to connect them and to make a work order for multiple different products

Vorteile

Excellent technical support, helpful all the time you need. Cloud based system and multi-currency is critical for multi-national operation.

Nachteile

Not really phone or tablet user friendly interface.
Lack of different level of access

Vorteile

The web based interface is very convenient and easy to set up. We were able to get our customer up and running within a day.

Nachteile

A dedicated mobile interface would be a big plus. It works as is, but can be a struggle to use on the phone at times.

Vorteile

- great customer support from free trial to full implementation
- easy to learn
- lots of integrations

Nachteile

So far I haven't found a dashboard functionality to combine different bits of information from all over the software.

Vorteile

Lots of functionality for a small business. Really responsive customer support (when we encountered a bug we got a workaround in a day and fix in a few weeks). For a company on a very tight budget it doesn't break the bank. Each month more features appear.

Nachteile

The UI can be a bit confusing at times, especially for some of the advanced features. For example, applying serial numbers to finished goods and taking finished goods out of inventory by serial number can be complicated (of course, it's great that they support serial numbers).

Vorteile

Easy to set up. Affordable price for what we get.
Users don't need extended training to be able tu use it, same for admin.

Nachteile

Missing ability to break down units (purchasing a package of 10 and counting units in inventory).
Possibility to set up different authorisations depending on the fields of a PO.
Possibility that different users can edit at different stages of PO:
- Pending: User A is editing, User B is Viewing.
- Verified: User A can only view, B can edit.
Double approval on specific criteria is missing.

Vorteile

It's an easy to use ERP application that makes my work life as simple as possible.

Nachteile

When i modify an offer, i can't exchange the date.

Vorteile

The software is very flexible and was easier to adapt to our processes. Support from customer care is professional and responsive.

Nachteile

There is no mobile app. Graphic interface is a bit dated.

Vorteile

SupportCoprehensive funtionalityAbility to customise to names of duntions and paperwork staff recognise

Nachteile

Inability to manage stock valuesLimited field searching

Vorteile

We’ve been using Megaventory for more than two years and the software seems to be designed exactly to our needs. The Megaventory team was directly involved in the onboarding process, so that helped us a lot as we were given a turnkey solution. For our needs, the system provides easy order tracking, picking, packing, and shipping modules. We are overall very happy with the way it has helped us improve our workflow.

Nachteile

Unfortunately the Integration to SAP is missing.

Vorteile

Megaventory is a very easy to implement cloud based ERP system. It has all the features required to manage orders, sales operation, manufacturing operations and warehouse inventory operations. No customaization required, you just need to understand how to do configuration and it will adapt to your business needs with no IT staff required!

Nachteile

Once you understand the features and how to use the system, it is amazing how much you can leverage the tool to better manage your business. Most negative reviews about the system is in my view because people have not taken the time to ask the support team questions or explain their needs well.. I used SAP, Oracle and many other systems, Megaventory is a simple solution for small to medium fast growing businesses.

Vorteile

Integration with Woocommerce, and the rapid customer service, problem fixes.

Nachteile

Some functionality required is quite bespoke, and sometimes our processes do not fit with MGV, but we always manage to find a work around.

Vorteile

Support ens easy-to-use software also very fast .

Nachteile

Everything is working great ,so no problems.

Vorteile

* Get started quickly
* Grows with you
* Multiple locations
* Easy to add and update data
* Reliable - no outages
* Integrates with Quick Books Online ( QBO) and Shopify
* Amazing customer support with passionate/knowledgable agents

Nachteile

* Usability for a naive user could be better
* Reports are not the greatest
* Calculating consumption still a manual task
* No option for local pricing of an SKU
* Expensive for consumer play that might have hundreds of thousands of customers

Vorteile

Can build up data really quickly once you know the right documents to raise.
The chat facility is very good, normally get a response within a few minutes to a few hours.
They work Sunday's as well as through the week.
I have had chat replies at 10pm.
Really Nice people, can build up relationships with them.
Fun emojis and gifs in the chat facility.
We are now getting excellent sales/stock/turnover/Profit/location reports from the system.
Has facility to deal with serial numbers and easy to find documents relating to serial numbers.
Once you get it set up properly, it is addictive, actually wanting to input data and see the results in the reports.
The share facility to colleagues for reporting is fast and easy.
Lots more pros, but I think you will all get the idea.

Nachteile

If you haven't set up a database before, then there is a lot to do, and have to wait for answers on the chat facility. But they do get back to you.
No telephone customer service. Chat and email only.
Would be helpful if there was a video for set up and early use. (I think they are working on that).
Could do with being able to see serial numbers when searching to add or delete a serial number from a product.
Other small idiosyncrasies, but can quickly get used to those.

Vorteile

Ease of Use, very good workflow especially for companies that manufacture products. Easy access from anywhere, affordable price for what we get, excellent support. Support of Multiple Locations / Warehouses / Companies. Product Cost Tracking, Landed Cost Calculations.

Nachteile

We would prefer the backdating to be available in all supported features and the management of device serial numbers could not be so strict. Does not support a disassembly of a manufactured device.

Vorteile

The flexibility is very impressive
It's very fast as a online based system

Nachteile

I wish the subscription is a little cheaper but I understand the cost to maintain such a system.

Vorteile

The software's ability to keep in mind that even if I haven't received an item, it can still be accounted for and reserved for a customer.
Also, the localization options are the best I've seen in any software, you can literally change any section to use the phrasing that best suits your organization.

Nachteile

The quickbooks integration was a pain to work with since quickbooks mexico works differently and the api is not setup for that but that's not MV's fault.

Vorteile

it is simple to setup.You can go into production in less that 2 weeks!

Nachteile

there is no sufficient shipping integration with shipping carriers

Vorteile

We like that it is web based and easy to access. The new interface is good and more user friendly.

Nachteile

the process of editing items on the fly is tiresome. meaning we have to import new .csv files each time.

Vorteile

I loved the simplicity and ease of use of the software, as well as the customer service! The team was INCREDIBLE in helping us set up the software and customizing it to our needs. I have never encountered this level of customer service with any other software company we tried.

Nachteile

They are working on implementing batch tracking which is one feature we could use.

Vorteile

It is one of the cheapest options on the market and it does his job extremely well. We are a sweets confectionery start up and Megaventory offers everything we could need at this stage. The customer service is excellent.

Nachteile

the software, like most of the competitors, is not really flexible. So in order to change and elaborate your data, you need to force the system a little.

Vorteile

Easy to use. Easy to Train. Easy to set-up. Can do all of the basics. Tracks everything. Customer Service([SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] are extremely responsive). Very little downtime(never more than a few minutes over a 7+ year period of daily+ useage)

Nachteile

Not the best for high volume of order processing. Not the most intuitive program. Can be slow at times.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Megaventory

Vorteile

Very easy to use and you can pick it up pretty quickly and feel comfortable using. The customer service is top notch and are quick to respond when you do have any questions.

Nachteile

Some minor things could be improved such as a drop down menu for email addresses to send invoices or purchase orders and maybe some bigger/customizable text boxes.

Vorteile

- ease of use
- flexibility (mulitple locations/product categories/currencies/user permissions, etc.)
- very rich reporting tools
- fantastic A+++++ customer support

Nachteile

- no dynamic/partial match filtering of product/customer/supplier list in the reporting module (with many items the lists can get a bit unwieldy).

Vorteile

I tried this software when I was looking for a inventory software and though it was one of the best for low budget in the number of features, I found it very difficult to use. I only liked the price.

Nachteile

The software is not intuitive and it takes too many turns to complete a simple task. For example I needed to upload my stock quantity in an excel sheet.
I lost my patiente 2 days after stating the trial and went to look for another one. I have years of experience with softwares, so when I have to see the help videos several times to understand how it's done, I know it's not the software for me or the regular user who doesn't like to spend 2 days on a app setup.

Vorteile

Customer support - fast and competent team
Data integrity - little chance to manipulate the data
Ease of use - intuitive and simple interface

Nachteile

Filtering logic in cards could be improved
Reporting by order tags could be very useful for our business needs

Vorteile

Great and quick support, i like that it is based online but it really doesn't give you much more than what you can make out of a spreadsheet
the new layout isnt really any better than the old one and it would be better to update the contents rather than just the cosmetics.

Nachteile

Why cant there just be one page which has all the information on it. ie stock quantities, price etc, etc
updating an item is not simple and trying to do an inventory check is very complicated
The quotes do not look very customer friendly and you cant adapt anything,

Vorteile

I like the reports it can produce, the customizable ways of reporting and finding information. I like the look of the layouts onscreen, they are easy to read and understand, and I like the look of the forms it produces.

Nachteile

Since I have some consignment clients I find it difficult to track the flow of goods out and invoiced items. My challenge is most likely in the learning curve of how to use the software rather than the software itself., but I think that it is not easy to use for consignment. Another minor thing that I find inefficient is that when I am searching and working with a certain client it doesn't always retain that if I bounce between screens and so I often have to start over in a search.

Vorteile

Es un buen software para la gestión del inventarios y pedidos. Todo está prácticamente en la nube, por lo que es muy fácil aprender el sistema y así poder aplicarlo a su negocio. Además, la importación de datos la genera de forma rápida y limpia.Es muy sencillo de usar y también, es eficiente para pequeñas y medianas empresas.

Nachteile

Creo que tiene un precio elevado para lo qué es y existen otras alternativas más económicas que se pueden usar a la perfección. Por otro lado, la versión móvil no funciona como debería y a veces va un poco lento.

Vorteile

The theme of the software is user friendly. The buttons self explanatory. Easy navigable. Good track of stock.

Nachteile

Initially it was somehow difficult to interprete its content, but now easy to understand.
