User Testimonials
	IBM Sterling Order Management	QuickBooks Commerce
Likelihood to Recommend	I would be interested to know how much is out-of-the-box and how much customization a specific organization's requirement would be Gregory Powell Inventory Control Analyst Read full review	If things I listed in the "issues" section are resolved and addressed - I could recommend it more. Currently, it's still very undeveloped and I have to do a lot of manual work in order to make it work more or less. Incentivized Karina Kagramanova General Manager Read full review
Pros	A single view of supply and demand across channels to provide improved inventory utilization and more accurate promise dates. Coordinated, customized fulfillment execution to support various selling channels and both internal and external supplies. One source of order information to provide customers with accurate and timely alerts and updates. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Interface with WooCommerce. Interface with Xero. Maintain Perpetual Inventory (less than 0.001% difference in value of inventory in TG and Xero). Works with ShipStation extremely well. Works with major EDI vendors (with reservations). Incentivized Wayne Spivak President & CFO Read full review

Alternatives Considered	Integration framework provided by Sterling OMS is much more flexible than other OMS solutions. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	I looked at several other products and either they were cost prohibitive or just too complex. If I wanted complexity I would go with a full suite approach (Navision, Intacct, Netsuite, Sage, etc.) for a major price point entrance into the accounting system world. While TG has been at times very aggravating overall I'm more that satisfied given the clients operating parameters. No software solution is perfect - no matter what the software publisher says!

Return on Investment	Improved Order life cycle & Reverse logistics Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No real ROI - we're stilling pulling reports from multiple platforms. Positive - segregation of wholesale and DTC orders in Shopify. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
