Acctivate Inventory Management vs. Blue Yonder Luminate Commerce

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

The decision was already made by the architects and by the time I joined [the company]. The JDA implementation was already in place. However, the cost of the product and the targeted retailers would have made a lot of sense when choosing JDA Commerce Suite.
