User Testimonials
	Aralco Inventory Management	Vend
Likelihood to Recommend	Aralco Aralco Inventory Management is well suited for a retail operation with one or two locations that is expanding to 5+. At that point, there is small enough start-up costs and significant benefits available for this software to assist a company with the inventory and POS challenges associated with rapid growth. Aralco Inventory Management is also particularly helpful for retail companies that have complicated sales orders or a sales fulfillment time that is longer than a day or a week. Incentivized Jeff Looby, CPA Associate Read full review	Vend Vend was great fit for this dry cleaner/laundry that had high traffic volume with customers stopping in before and after work. Things need to be done quickly. Incentivized John Dykstra Small Business Owner Read full review
Pros	Aralco Retail focus Single source for all inventory control requirements Power-to-cost ratio Training package Incentivized Jeff Looby, CPA Associate Read full review	Vend Retail sales Inventory management Sales and promotions Reporting Incentivized Sander Kallshian Owner Read full review
Cons	Aralco Lengthy set-up process that requires strong management High base hardware requirements (can't be used with just a phone, for instance) Inventory forecasting is not linked to any external or macro forces Incentivized Jeff Looby, CPA Associate Read full review	Vend It would be nice to have alternate ways to adjust prices Incentivized John Dykstra Small Business Owner Read full review
Support Rating	Aralco No answers on this topic	Vend Not much support needed but they were fast and helpful when it was. Incentivized John Dykstra Small Business Owner Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Aralco No answers on this topic	Vend Vend is much more capable than Square POS for product management and inventory control. ShopKeep is fairly similar to Vend but is a more closed ecosystem with fewer third-party integrations and less frequent updates. Incentivized Sander Kallshian Owner Read full review
Return on Investment	Aralco Short training time reduced costs and increased sales which increased ROI Less downtime which reduced costs and increased ROI Good customer support which boosts employee morale which leads to efficiencies and higher sales which increased ROI Incentivized Jeff Looby, CPA Associate Read full review	Vend Correct inventory levels has been a game-changer. We use to oversell because of inconsistencies between POS and e-commerce sales. The built-in loyalty program has been very useful and was much more appealing to customers than we originally predicted. Incentivized Sander Kallshian Owner Read full review
