Review on Aptean

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use it to help troubleshoot and problem solve with our ERP system ABS. When we have issues with our orders getting transmitted from our customers we reach out to the Aptean to help. They always come back quickly with answers to help solve the problem. Then they also help with our accounting department on any issues they are having with ABS.

Pros

  • prompt response
  • detailed response
  • always making sure the issue is resolved

Cons

  • when ever they fix an issue they give instructions on how they fixed the issue and why it was happening

Return on Investment

  • They have helped our turn around time when an order comes in wrong to getting it corrected so we can get it out more timely.

Aptean Apparel ERP Review

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Aptean Apparel ERP as the backbone of our business. We manage, orders, inventory and finance through it. For the most part it suffices. The lack of native e-commerce integration is a pain point. Bridging is unusually expensive and not I. Line with other ERPs. The platform itself feels dated as well.

Pros

  • Inventory levels
  • Order entry and management

Cons

  • Ease of use
  • Native e-commerce support
  • Updated UX

Return on Investment

  • We couldn’t manage our business without it. It does what needs to be done.
  • Rarely goes down and is reliable.

Usability

Other Software Used

Shopify, Canva, Anthropic Claude

2 years of implementation to finally get to Go-Live But worth it

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Aptean Apparel ERP to organize and streamline our production, sales and invoices.

Pros

  • Sales order and invoicing is top notch
  • Style (Product) management works well
  • 3rd party integrations with Shopify, JOOR and NuOrder are native

Cons

  • Need more flexibility in the order/invoice system for manual override
  • EDI needs a lot more stability.

Return on Investment

  • Biggest positive impact Aptean Apparel ERP has had on our business, by far, is warehouse management and order fulfillment. It is just so much better than our previous legacy ERP that it is saving us hundreds of hours in overtime every month.
