User Testimonials
	Acctivate Inventory Management	IBM Sterling Order Management
Likelihood to Recommend	Acctivate Inventory Management Software 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.
