User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend	Crystal No answers on this topic	Krave Media Group Company SalesBinder works well for really anyone that needs to track inventory, and any small to medium business (even large if the product grows with you) that sells the inventory either internally or externally and where those "cash" transactions need to be tracked. Bringing this product into a large business with an existing large inventory may not be the best fit depending on the tools you already use - as this system works very well as a stand-alone. It will work anywhere no matter what, it just may not be the best solution for very large scale. Incentivized Kyle Farago Telecommunications Technician 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	Crystal No answers on this topic	Krave Media Group Company Easily set up inventory Easily make purchase orders Easily set up drop ships Easily make any necessary changes Incentivized Kyle Farago Telecommunications Technician Read full review	Vend Retail sales Inventory management Sales and promotions Reporting Incentivized Sander Kallshian Owner Read full review
Cons	Crystal No answers on this topic	Krave Media Group Company At the time I last used SalesBinder entering shipping for sales and such was not a feature, so we just created a $0.00 inventory item for FedEx with a Qty of 99 and changed the cost for each sale as needed. At the last time I used SalesBinder there was a glitch that would duplicate an inventory item at random across all locations with a qty value of 11.

Support Rating	Crystal No answers on this topic	Krave Media Group Company 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	Crystal No answers on this topic	Krave Media Group Company 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	Crystal No answers on this topic	Krave Media Group Company Allowed us to easily track all incoming and outgoing inventory Allowed us to help work backwards if inventory count was wrong Provided an easy monthly statement to provide all departments ("customers") of all purchases and amounts owed in an easy to read format. Incentivized Kyle Farago Telecommunications Technician 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
