QuickBooks Commerce vs. Valogix Inventory Planner

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.

Valogix is a good tool for a mid to large sized business who has a lot of SKUs and much data that needs to be analyzed to determine supply. It is best used by savvy people, as there is quite a learning curve to it. It integrates well with NetSuite, though I cannot speak to how well it may integrate with other ERP systems.

• 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

• Calculates how much it thinks you should have on-hand, based on demand and other factors.
• Integrates with NetSuite to include all your demand, supply, item and location data.
• Automatically determines seasonality for items.

• Needs email alert on payment for all assigned to QuickBooks Commerce
• Improve auto payments set-up
• Would be really nice to get automated reminders on the system

• The UI for their product (web application) is weak.
• Does not support multiple units of measure well.

TG works well for us.

TG is good and easy to use, but could be improved

Support team just sends links to blog posts that are often out of date.

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!

Compared to NetSuite's default demand planning module, Valogix shines. NetSuite's product is very weak, very manually-driven, and does not provide the precise level of control that Valogix does. We used NetSuite's module for a while before realizing it wouldn't work for us whatsoever. It might work for you if you have a simple product setup, few SKUs and only one location. But in that case, you probably don't need demand planning software anyway.

• No real ROI - we're stilling pulling reports from multiple platforms.
• Positive - segregation of wholesale and DTC orders in Shopify.

Incentivized

• It has begun to reduce time for us taken up by running manual spreadsheet calculations.
• The training was time-consuming and difficult to onboard new users when we had turnover.
