### "Headspace"

July 23, 2018

5.0

Positive

Pros

Flexibility, accuracy - integrates well with other software platforms

Cons

Some of the Purchase Order functionality (would be great if we could export images on a purchase order to a supplier, especially since we have a ton of different products) Would be nice to be able to edit products easier

### "Practicality and ease of use, access, and usefulness of all features"

December 6, 2017

5.0

Financial gain due to no longer having to over order, all in one inventory monitoring and sync's with other software.

Pros

Software is so accurate that we no longer have the overstock of unused products or dead skus. Purchasing accuracy is 100% and if there is an error we no longer have to question if it is user error or software.

Cons

Finales Customizable features are not as user-friendly as the rest of the software. When you customize your screen pdf's and items associated with the front end of what you see it is an arrow up or down, not being able to drag and drop when arranging your customs takes time and is very aggravating.

### "Been Needing this for 30 Years"

October 8, 2014

5.0

Finale Fireworks Inventory Module makes your Inventory and BATFE Record keeping interactive and easy if you follow the system. They are continually improving and updating the program. Having used manual systems, spread sheets and even written my own database this is the best solution I have ever seen for BATFE Compliant Inventory Management. Having used text based scripting systems since the 80's, I was never a huge fan of graphical fireworks choreography programs but I do enjoy being able to see the show develop. The software is quick and you're not bogged down in the graphics, so you can quickly assemble your shows and get the job done. We gave the program a 4 star rating on ease of use because while it is intuitive populating the animations isn't the easiest thing. However, it does a great job animating on the product descriptions. We have added our equipment inventory as well so we can track its movement and project what we will need. Finale is an integral part of our operations now.

### "Great software. Terrific service!"

January 4, 2017

4.0

I became a new user during the most important time of the year for us. The Customer support representative at Finale went above and beyond to assist me with teaching me the key tools I would need to succeed during the first week to keep operations running until I had the time to learn the system. Throughout the past 6 months, he has answered any and all questions from the most basic to the most complex. The Finale software is very efficient for us and the service that comes with it makes it worth every penny.

Pros

Ease of use. Design is clean. Search function is very user friendly.

Cons

If a user makes a mistake you cannot undo the action. Would love to be able to track our equipment with our sales.

### "Finale Inventory: Take the pain out of managing your Inventory"

August 14, 2014

5.0

Importing our data and training our staff was far easier than we imagined. Just cut and paste from Excel. We've used Finale now for two years as our order management system and warehouse management system. Outshines other inventory control systems and asset tracking software for manufacturing hands down.

Pros

means we can work on other areas of the business assured that our inventory is well managed. Faultless user friendly interface ensures staff don't get caught up in the navaigation or processes.

Cons

We would love to see more of Finale in our business including assett management and intergration with financial packages.

### "Really good and fun to use inventory management system"

June 28, 2017

5.0

Full process covered from purchasing via inventory management to sales and invoicing. We even included light manufacturing using a workaround. Customer service is scheduled to go live shortly.

Pros

Intuitive UI, slightly different but better than many legacy applications Easy to configure UI, reports, forms and custom fields Reports and forms are very easy to use and output in different ways Data load from Excel via cut & paste is very intuitive and just cool We use it to track mainly individually barcoded items, works really well Customer service is outstanding Training videos are great way to start with the system, short and sweet per topic Where we found a functional deficiency, there has always been a viable workaround

Cons

Sales quote not set up yet for tax handling (I am sure it will happen at some point) Sometimes couldn't make the last detail of a report work, here the outstanding customer service always delivered an answer in no time

### "User Friendly! "

March 9, 2021

5.0

Pros

Finale is pretty user friendly (even for those who are not the most technologically savvy - like me). I really appreciate their extensive help section with how-to videos and articles, and their customer service is unmatched.

Cons

I would appreciate being able to filter products a bit more based on things like availability, stockout days, sales velocity, etc.

### "Good for its Capability"

December 1, 2016

5.0

There are some features and functionality that are lacking. I'd love there to be a feature that calculates reorder levels based on stock levels and output of product.

Pros

Incorporates Shipstation

Cons

Does not calculate reorder levels automatically

### "Great Inventory Management for the Right Price"

December 1, 2016

4.0

Finale offers inventory management for your online selling channels as well as warehouse. Very easy to use. Some improvements are a must such as wireless syncing and eliminate the need to create lookups. Overall very satisfied

Pros

Easy to use. Mobile device solution for picking, receiving...etc. You can customize product/stock screen view and add/remove filters to see what you need. Lots of features and ability to customize.

Cons

No wireless syncing available yet and you have to create product lookup for everything you list on selling channels or otherwise will not update. This should be automatic.

### "game changer"

July 17, 2018

5.0

Invoicing and keeping track of inventory...and running quick reports with pricing and stock levels to send to customers. The custom reporting is great. Certainly a game changer for our business.

Pros

Extremely simple to use. If you are coming from an excel spreadsheet...this is a game changer.

Cons

You rarely can pick up a phone and speak to someone immediately, however, usually when I would write the email...proof read the email...I would be able to answer my own question. Learning how the system thinks is the key. If you know excel a little, this will be a breeze.

### "Finale, Just OK"

December 5, 2016

3.0

This inventory management software is basic and simple, which is good if you are running a smaller business, or doing drop shipping on Amazon or Ebay. It is not so effective if you are shipping both domestically and DI, while utilizing a 3PL.

### "Logiciel de gestion des commandes "

November 7, 2023

5.0

Pros

Facilitant aux entreprises les ventes de commerce électronique pour éviter les surventes, ce logiciel est un système de stock adaptable et flexible prenant les flux de travail d'une ou des entreprises en expansion. C'est aussi un logiciel de traitement des commandes en ligne.

Cons

Il n'y a pas d'inconvénients pour ce logiciel.

March 24, 2016

We were looking for a solution for our inventory issues with QuickBooks Enterprise. We have inventory in two different buildings and LOTS of individual home locations within those buildings. I am so happy we chose Finale. The ease of use, the responsiveness of the staff and training are second to nothing I have seen. I can't wait to move on to the next level of use!

### "Exceptional Inventory Management Software"

April 19, 2017

5.0

Using the software with ShipStation integration has allowed our company to automate and streamline our order processing and inventory management, dramatically saving time and money. Finale does a wonderful job of allowing us to keep track and stay on top of ordering the multiple components that make up our products we sell. With a simple and direct approach, we were able to be up and running in an incredibly short amount of time. Finale's customer service has been very prompt and helpful. Highly recommend this software to anyone who is managing an inventory and looking to save time and money!

### "Great easy to use product"

February 5, 2019

4.0

Our overall experience has been fantastic. The biggest benefit we've received is having inventory levels pushed to our e-commerce stores. This one feature alone enabled us to not backfill a position when an employee left the company.

Pros

Uploading to this software is so much easier than any other software I've used before.

Cons

The only drawback we've encountered is scanning for kits. We'd like to be able to scan one time and have inventory levels adjusted for each item in the kit, but we need to scan each item individually.

Pros

Everything you want to do for your warehouse inventory tracking, Finale can do it. It has integrations with various website storefronts, warehouse scanner capabilities and a ton of automated reports you can customize.

Cons

The browser needed to access Finale is very particular, though I was able to use Chrome with no issues. The program seems a bit daunting at first, but the company is ready and willing to provide you with a little guidance to help you get started!

### "Great Inventory Solution- Finale Inventory"

September 19, 2013

5.0

Our business has grown nonstop over the last 8 years. At first, the number of products were minimal and an excel spreadsheet was all we needed. After a few years, we needed a solution that wouldn't be outgrown overnight. We looked around at various options and decided to go with because of its ease of use, uptime reliability, and support. One of my favorite features is that our employees can access the software from anywhere and multiple users can be logged in simultaneously. I highly recommend Finale to any business looking for an inventory solution that can grow with you.

4.0

Pros

It is very easy to use and does not require a lot of time in order to familiarize yourself with the procedures required to use it.

Cons

It struggled with its QuickBooks integration. It had no problems pulling in the inventory but invoices and purchase orders would sometimes not move the inventory or financial information to QuickBooks.
