Flowtrac vs LOCATE: Which is a better fit?

Dayna W.: Hi, my name is Dayna and I'm the accounting manager. Our company is about 13 employees. I give Flowtrac a four-star rating. Prior to using Flowtrac, we were using a manufacturing software called LOCATE. LOCATE was bought out by a larger software tech company and was being pulled off the market, so we were looking for a new manufacturing solution that could handle inventory management, assembly of manufactured goods, and the control and costing for all of our orders coming into the system. So we were looking at a couple of different softwares to replace our old software, LOCATE, manufacturing, which was being pulled off the market and we needed something that was cloud-based as we're a completely remote company, something that could handle multiple order sources and was customizable and also something that integrated successfully with the native API connection to our accounting system, which is QuickBooks Online. Onboarding with process with Flowtrac was really amazing. We worked with a project manager/integration specialist on their end where they would request certain reports from me as the accounting manager and the one in charge of the implementation. So I would send them over all of our data, and actually they would import it into our new instance. It was really nice because they had a beta instance of our platform, so as they imported new data into it, we could test it and see if it was working as it went. And if we didn't like something or needed changes to be made, we could do it in the beta system before actually implementing our live instance. If you're looking at evaluating Flowtrac for your business, I would look into your order volume, where your orders are being sourced from, and make sure that they're supported either native integrations or pricing out the customized integrations that your company will need. We had a few customized integrations, which were really successful, and then we also utilized the native integrations as in their ShipStation integration and their QuickBooks Online integration. I would also look at reporting features as I feel it's somewhat limited in reporting for Flowtrac. And also the integration between QuickBooks Online and Flowtrac is sometimes more manual, specifically with inventory counts and adjustments. Those transactions will be made in Flowtrac but will not be synced over to QuickBooks Online. So that is just something you're going to have to note that will need to be done in addition to the changes made in Flowtrac. You'll have to manually bring them over to the next system.
