Seamless Distribution Systems
Well suited for larger organizations, especially product-based companies. Where we store customer details, particularly for the product that the customer has enquired. It may not be well suited for smaller organisations. It has so many features and advantages, times it can be overwhelming for someone who have no experience of using the software before.

No solution is perfect, but I would say that Thrive is a particularly robust and complex solution that's intended to tackle major demand management and inventory forecasting problems. Smaller companies simply won't need a solution that's so all-encompassing. I would recommend waiting unitl you know that you need it before moving forward with a solution like Thrive.

  • Although it's simpler than many alternatives, it's a highly complex system and at times we felt lost during the transition period.
  • We didn't get the results we had imagined when looking at their case studies and marketing materials. I understand many factors go into those things, and their case studies are not necessarily indicative of typical results, but your mileage may vary.
  • Inventory replenishment alerts about potential stockouts weren't always reliable.

Against other products Sales Force Optimization is much better when while entering the customer data. Also very convenient to add new users and easy. And the mobile apps are well-optimised on. Works well without any lags or crashes. Whereas other software struggle to work well on mobile platforms especially on android devices.

Abas ERP was what we had used previously, and though it did its job adequately, it lacked the forecasting, demand management, and inventory replenishment sophistication of Thrive. We reached a point where we felt it was untenable to supplement the previous system on our own which necessitated the switch to Thrive.
