Cin7 Orderhive vs. Fourth Procurement and Inventory

Setting up was covered by a dedicated account rep. It was a smooth and relatively easy process. Problems started a year in when I lost my dedicated account rep. Customer service would refer to the instructions when a question was asked. Sadly they didn't understand the question most of the time.

The product is user-friendly in automating the tasks, managing the master data through central purchasing, and creating custom reports. It lacks certain basic functionalities like a record of wastages, sending automated emails confirming if the automatic tasks (scheduled tasks) have been completed or not, and the ability to automate the nutrition information, etc.

• Around 18 months ago I started conversations with Orderhive as a potential vendor to run a large portion of our ecommerce business. It seemed promising, and the idea that the Plus (now called Enterprise) solution was customisable was the reason I decided to select Orderhive.
• There was a significant amount of due-diligence from my end. It took me around 6 months to get my head around what features the software currently had, and what we would need to have Orderhive complete as a customisation.
• This in itself was also quite a bit of work - there were a number of revisions to the contract documents, created by a non-technical sales representative. My concerns started around this point when I was unable to speak with a technical representative to discuss, in more detail, how each feature would work.

• The 'stock management' tab on the home screen is of particular use when keeping tabs on incoming deliveries into the restaurant.
• The option to open and close your stock period is great as you have the chance to edit your stock at a moment's notice.

• shipping, I would like to be able to handle returns more easily.
• I would like to be able to handle stock differently according to order delivery dates. Order hive reserves qty for all the orders we place, I would like to be able to decide which orders reserve stock and which ones shouldn't.

• It would help massively to see via Enterprise and menu items what ones are no longer active, to keep the data tidy.
• When you take purchase reports from Enterprise and select to organise them by category, show the name of the category on the actual report download.
• Quick and easy upload/download of supplier products for correcting prices, descriptions, prices in bulk.

Extremely poor, it is not a user-friendly automated time-saving system like what was promised. It is clunky and the development team is slow and creating very poor and unreliable results.

The worst I have ever experienced, they are arrogant, rude and often abusive. They then blame us when we get angry due to the poor quality of the product and the extremely bad customer service.

Too long to get an answer.

Sadly I can't give Cin7 Core a review, because they haven't been able to resolve connection issues and it's been 3 months. But I'm done with this company

• There has been a negative ROI in this case. Not only have we paid a deposit toward the customisation of our orderhive implementation, there has also been a massive sunk cost of approximately 18 months of my time and effort.

• Procurement: Integrating some of the key suppliers with Trade Simple has saved labour hours.
• Integration: GL Integrations have increased the efficiency and quality of data.
