Extensiv Order Manager vs. Valogix Inventory Planner

PO management & inventory control is key. If you are in Operations & need a tool to house all of this data, Extensiv is straightforward and has the ability for customization.

Valogix is a good tool for a mid to large sized business who has a lot of SKUs and much data that needs to be analyzed to determine supply. It is best used by savvy people, as there is quite a learning curve to it. It integrates well with NetSuite, though I cannot speak to how well it may integrate with other ERP systems.

Extensiv > Anvyl because of the inventory control aspect. Anvyl is solid for PO placement, but after that, it doesn't offer inventory levels and the control needed.

Compared to NetSuite's default demand planning module, Valogix shines. NetSuite's product is very weak, very manually-driven, and does not provide the precise level of control that Valogix does. We used NetSuite's module for a while before realizing it wouldn't work for us whatsoever. It might work for you if you have a simple product setup, few SKUs and only one location. But in that case, you probably don't need demand planning software anyway.

• PO management & Inventory control is utilized to its potential.
• We are excited to see Extensiv grow its Analytics module and all the exporting features.

Incentivized

• It has begun to reduce time for us taken up by running manual spreadsheet calculations.
• The training was time-consuming and difficult to onboard new users when we had turnover.
