Cloud Solution Specialist Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "They should provide a better service for the high amount of fee they are charging" April 19, 2023 3.0 Came across numerous bugs... The annoying part is that the support team wouldn't at least be honest and admit they have a bug. Pros Good integration with Xero. POS is quite good Cons Customer support - they almost never understand the question, with videos, snips etc. They always have to go back to technical team to check on the issue. It's like they don't have any knowledge of the system... And their replies are most of the times canned responses... Reason for choosing Cin7 Core Because of the POS Review Source Sean P. Director Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Fantastic" November 3, 2017 5.0 Pros Orderhive was the only suitable order management system that I could find, that would provide a integration with Royal Mail (UK delivery service). Whilst this took some time to achieve (about 2 months), the integration works very well, enabling us to print off shipping labels without manually entering in the address. Orderhive also integrates with our online store, which allows the orders to be synced with ease. They listen to feedback and have great support. Orderhive have all the features necessary for our order management. Cons Nothing much, it's not perfect, but they're working towards it by listening to customers opinions. Maybe faster integration time, although they did run into some complications with our integration (probably why no one else does it with Royal Mail). Review Source MS Megan S. QA Manager Food Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Use in Manufacturing" April 28, 2023 4.0 Pros Easy to use. Multiple functions for whole business. Excellent traceability functions. Easy to adjust it to suit your business. Cons Quite time consuming to upload all current stock to system at initial use Review Source NF Naomi F. Accountant Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 2+ years ### "very good system" April 5, 2023 5.0 Pros user friendly. I will highly recommend to my friends. Cons If I receive the stock wrongly, the system won't allow me to undo it. Review Source DM Doris M. General Manager Consumer Goods Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "DEAR onbOarding review by Nathasha" March 22, 2023 5.0 DEAR has simplified our purchasing, inventory and sale process. All our data is stored in one platform and this helps with accountability. Pros The inventory management software helps is keep track of our stock. I love that the stock automatically updates whenever we do a sale or purchase. The integration with XERO help with accounting as well. Nathasha did an excellent work onboarding us. Very lovely and patient staff Cons that we have to add extra payment to use some features such as CRM Alternatives considered [Odoo](https://www.capterra.com/p/135618/Odoo/) Reason for choosing Cin7 Core It met all our requirements and was more robust than the alternatives Review Source JE Justin E. CTO Retail Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "System Implementation " May 2, 2023 4.0 We just had our Go-Live a couple days ago and we haven't had any significant issues with the overall system.\[sensitive content hidden\] our Implementation Manager was great to work with, she was very helpful and fast to respond to any questions or issues that we had during the setup. Pros I like the ability to import purchase orders via CSV. Cons We would like more user permission controls in the POS app. We wish the Cash Management screen's cash balance wasn't visible to all users of the till. Alternatives considered [Odoo](https://www.capterra.com/p/135618/Odoo/)[NetSuite](https://www.capterra.com/p/135757/NetSuite/) Reason for choosing Cin7 Core DEAR checked most of the boxes we needed for inventory management. The speed of implementation was also a big factor for us compared to the other products we looked at. Switched from [Epos Now](https://www.capterra.com/p/152638/Epos-Now/) EPOS has major issues with their purchase order modules and inventory management capabilities. Review Source AL Adriaan L. Director Furniture Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Trade Gecko (Quickbooks C) to DEAR worthwhile but not simple. " August 10, 2021 4.0 Given the fact that we run online stores that have been exceptionally difficult to integrate I would give the overall experience a 3/5 rating. Everything else in terms of system functionality, options and support staff's willingness to help has been great. Pros Many customisation options available in addition to our current/previous system especially regarding Xero integration. Cons \- System is accounting heavy, meaning if all settings are not accurate in relation to your accounting system (Xero in our case) daily operations is not effortless. This is great and difficult to master at the same time. - Shopify integration is not simple and requires many tweaks that are not intuitive. - Loading, editing products in Shopify through Dear is complicated. - Product variants and 'bundles (Tradegecko), or BOM's (DEAR) are cumbersome in Dear and requires a lot of rework to make your front end in Shopify run accurately. - Invoice and document customisation is horrible. - Paying an additional USD50 for a faster server is annoying and the standard option seems to be throttled. - UI is average compared to TG/QB. Reason for choosing Cin7 Core Better in all areas and Dear improved significantly from when we last looked at Dear as an option 3 years ago. Review Source iH ivan H. Operations Manager Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great cloud-based ERP software" August 15, 2019 5.0 It is my first exposure to cloud-based ERP software, DEAR. I am pretty pleased with its performance. Pretty simply to use and easily to understand each module. The tutorial video presentation is really useful which u can easily accessing it by clicking from the main menu. No hassle to go around to find it. Overall, my management and myself are pleased to spend almost 6 months to switch over from our existing ERP system Pros User friendly Good video demonstration on tutorial, easy to understand and follow excellent aftersales support - swift in response Cons No direct module to handle goods replacement and warranty process /RMA portions Not too user friendly or suitable to be used on project based jobs/ activities Alternatives considered [Xero](https://www.capterra.com/p/120109/Xero/) Reason for choosing Cin7 Core Easy to use (user friendly) Great aftersales support Switched from [Dynamics 365](https://www.capterra.com/p/157279/Dynamics-365/) Increase productivity. No hassle of maintaining the sever locally Review Source NT Nikhil T. Onlien Manager Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good Customer Service" May 19, 2023 4.0 Pros Integration with Shopify and the E-commerce feature Cons Unable to have more integrations - there are better ways to integrate the e-commerce and I think they should look at this as its very important to scale. Review Source Ryan C. CEO Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Dear Systems - For your Inventory Requirements " October 1, 2019 5.0 Access to sales and purchases data in sufficient detail to make accurate business decisions on stock lines Pros Flexible with a great level of detail and functionality Cons Can be complex to setup if the business design is not properly documented and understood.

Operation Manager Cosmetics Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Orderhive- Good choice" September 27, 2022 4.0 Pros I like that the software is easy to use. It is intuitive. It is adapted to the needs of our company. The integration was very easy and did not raise any problems. What helps us the most is the ease with which picking, receiving and stock checking are performed. Cons As with any software, there are still things to improve. For almost two years since I've been using Orderhive, there have always been improvements that pleasantly surprised me. Review Source DS Danielle S. Owner Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "We can get it to do what we need." October 28, 2019 4.0 We have a retail store that sells custom furniture with a multi-month lead time. Most of the software out there assumes immediate fulfillment of orders so we had to have something to sit between our POS and our accounting software to "park" orders while in process. Also we wanted a robust backup for our ecommerce product information in order to easily manipulate product data and images especially in case we decide to change ecomm platforms in the future. Pros It is very adaptable and has a lot of features Cons It often takes a lot of adaptation to get exactly what I need out of the software. For example, for inventory management software, the question "what is the total dollar amount of on-hand inventory?" should be top of mind. Instead it's totally buried in a report not exactly suited for that purpose. So I had to tweak the report and favorite the amended report to have that info handy.

Operations Analyst Food Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Amazing customer service " February 17, 2023 5.0 I am happy user Pros Easy to use and get a hang of. Easy to locate the PO and SO Cons Few updates have glitches but they do get fixed Review Source MG Magnus G. Owner Wholesale Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Support sucks" August 15, 2022 5.0 The support is terrible. You keep getting links sent to you that takes you in circles. Would have been far more efficient to charge a fee and sort the problem out. Pros B2B integrates with the stock/accounting Cons The support is really inefficient. I contact support as I don’t have the tech capabilities to sort my issue out. Charge me a fee get it sorted and we all move on. No it takes me days to resolve an issue and hours waisted with support staff Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Owner and Designer Wholesale Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great system for the price" October 31, 2018 5.0 Great. I would recommend it to my peers. Please keep the price affordable. Pros The system does almost everything. I own a wholesale business: my staff and I use it for inventory maintenance, invoicing, purchase order, sales and loss report, customer contact, expense and receipt management. Cons Lack of immediate customer service through phone service or online chatroom. Monthly invoice pdfs can be downloaded as one large pdf. Review Source SG Stephanie G. Inventory Manager Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Been using Orderhive for more than 2 years!" March 29, 2022 5.0 Very helpful and worth every penny! Pros What I love about the software is the ease of use. This allows us to monitor not only our stock levels but also our estimated revenues which can easily be found on their dashboard. Cons Some times there are glitches (which most of the software have) but its minimal and they resolve any issues right away. Review Source JA Jeff A. VP of Operations Machinery Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A lot of promises for things that don't actually work" September 6, 2022 1.0 The support is a complete joke. A bunch of remote people searching for answers on the fly in a knowledge base. They mentioned they have a lot of turnover, which is a recipe for disaster in any support division. Pros It's fine for managing inventory, but not much more useful than a spreadsheet Cons They promised Hubspot integration, and none of it works. It's a known issue, but they don't seem to know how to resolve it. And they have a strict no refund policy, so we were sold something that doesn't do what they say it will. Most companies give a refund for products that don't work as promised. Not DEAR Reason for choosing Cin7 Core Thought DEAR would scale and grow with our company, but their support is so horrible, I can't imagine counting on them as we grow and expect more from our systems Review Source VR Verified Reviewer President Computer Hardware Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent inventory and order management software" March 22, 2018 5.0 increased the efficiency of my business in a remarkable way Pros There are several features that are excellent: ability to customize documents, simple work flow, ability to customize decimal places on values Cons There are times when I need to undo an invoice to make some small change such as add a shipping charge, however the entire order must be undone which adds complication to that otherwise simple task. Review Source RF Rick F. Director Food & Beverages Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Does everything we need to run our soft drinks company" December 13, 2017 4.0 Business totally depends on it! Pros Is really great for traceabilty of our products from ingredient to end customer. Has lots of great functionality Excellent value for money Good support - they always get straight back to us Cons There is just a couple of basic features missing that we have brought up before.. You can attach files to lots of areas such as Sales etc but you can't attach a file to an assembly - which in a food product is where you would want to attach a file - eg the batch record, pasteuriser log etc. This would make quite a difference When you print a label for a product there is no option for creating ITF14 barcodes for outer packaging (standard) Be good if there was a way of manually setting the cost price and margins for an assembled product Review Source Response from Cin7 December 14, 2017 Hi Rick, Thank you for the review. Just addressing some of the cons, its a good suggestion regarding ability to attach notes to assemblies. Next year we are planning on adding extra enchancements to core app DEAR Inventory as this year was mostly concentrated on external integrations & also the development of our own POS and B2B eCommerce portal. Strongly suggest to leave a feature request for 2018 development considerations. Regards DEAR Team LW Liz W. Founder & Co-CEO Food Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Still needs work but better than any alternatives" July 17, 2018 4.0 Pros Dear Inventory is a cost-effective 70% solution to manage food production including BOM's, suppliers, customers, etc... The company is almost continually updating & improving the software. I remain hopeful that at some point the frustrating aspects of the program will be resolved. The implementation is straightforward and does not require a 3rd party to execute. We have trialed and used a number of entry-level MRP systems and believe this to be the best offering at this time. Cons The integration with QB is messy and riddled with errors. It seems like the integration with Xero is better but we use QBO for many other integrations so have not made the switch to Xero. Timely customer service for North American customers is lacking since Dear is based in Australia. Review Source Minyee J. President Used the software for: ### "Works with Shopify, Prestashop, Ebay and Amazon without a hitch for inventory control in one place." March 15, 2018 5.0 Works with Shopify, Prestashop, Ebay and Amazon without a hitch. Pros Works with Shopify, Prestashop, Ebay and Amazon without a hitch. Their customer service was top notch and were available during US hours either via SKYPE or chat system. This platform is a no brainer if you want a multi channel inventory manager. You can update all stores from one platform in real time. Go get this now you can be up and running in a day. Cons This software does not offer mapping of shipping method or customer notes. Review Source AP Ali P. Inventory Manager Apparel & Fashion Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Inventory Manager" February 20, 2020 5.0 I have been very thankful and appreciative of the support and help from \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\]. He has provided great customer service. Pros It has helped us tremendously to manager our inventory and to ensure the right people get the product that they purchasing. It is great that the integrations are compatible with our POS and online store. Cons It does not let us print individual barcodes per product. Review Source Response from Cin7 April 21, 2020 Hello Ali, Thank you for your valuable feedback. We try our very best to provide an excellent service to our customers. As of now our customers can print one or more labels for product(s) via the Print Product Label menu in the All Product section (All Products -> Print -> Product Label). The product label includes SKU, product name and Barcode. Please feel free to contact us if you have any further questions. Best Regards, DEAR Team SS Steve S. Managing Director Automotive Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Superb system, excellent support" March 11, 2019 5.0 DEAR is probably the most important system in our business. It has revolutionised our company and allowed us to grow quickly, expanding the product range and marketplaces. It ties everything in beautifully so that, in conjunction with Xero, we have complete management control of the business. It's truly brilliant and I would recommend it without hesitation. Pros It's stable, reliable, never goes wrong and the support staff are excellent. When problems do occur, they are sorted out very quickly. Synchronisation with Xero, Amazon and eBay is near-flawless. Cons Some aspects are a little unintuitive, and it does entail the user understanding quite a lot about how stock control works. The B2B trade portal isn't great and needs a rethink. These are very small issues though compared with what the system does well - which is nearly everything. Review Source LR Lee R. Manager Wholesale Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great Product, Great Support" February 15, 2023 5.0 Very happy as it saves us plenty of time and headaches to know exactly what is on hand and what the order statuses are. Pros Easy onboarding process, had good support and was provided with demos on how to do the various tasks. Keeps accurate stock control and order management that keeps our warehouse and ecommerce store up to date. Cons Took a bit of getting used to. Sometimes the connection is a bit slow - not sure if it is our NBN internet connection or the platform.
