Acctivate Inventory Management vs. IBM Sterling Order Management

Acctivate is best suited for very basic inventory needs. It syncs up well with Standalone Quickbooks and tracks physical inventory really well. I wouldn't recommend it if you need a complex suite for a larger business. Needs a lot of improvement. If you need a vendor, purchasing, PO system - I would suggest looking elsewhere.

• Better training program when first introduced to the software
• Help screens are improving but still could be better
• Reports and customization in reporting can be difficult to learn

• Selling the product as more micro managed modules

Better history, inventory control and PO re-ordering capabilities than the old Sage100 and Mas90 software

Integration framework provided by Sterling OMS is much more flexible than other OMS solutions.
