Very good tool and excellent Support

Kim Moeller-Nielsen

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It has helped tremendously with price changes during this time of severe supply chain issues. The system is intuitive and easy to use. it is developing all the time, it gets better and better - I would love to see more options for POS that are Orderhive owned rather than third parties.

Pros

  • Customer support
  • Easy to use, help a lot on the day to day operations
  • I like the unification of all sales channels the most. The ability to track and process sales from one place is great.

Cons

  • Reports are something that is good to work on so that we can do more in-depth analysis.

  • Shipping management
  • Order management

Orderhive Meets All of Our Companies Needs

Joseph Markman
Systems Administrator in Information Technology at Water Safety Corporation (1-10 employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our company was looking for a solution to connect all of the different systems we had and facilitate the flow of orders and shipping information between those systems. Orderhive has been an outstanding partner in addressing our needs, implementing solutions, and integrating our disparate systems into one cohesive environment. Our implementation required integration to a system that was not yet available with Orderhive and they stepped in and created that integration for us so that we could proceed with the implementation without having to compromise connectivity to one of our key systems.

Pros

  • Responds to inquiries and reported issues
  • Easy to use and intuitive user interface
  • Access to logging information for troubleshooting integration issues

Cons

  • Feature requests could be implemented quicker
  • Some of the newest user interface additions could be clearer

Most Important Features

  • Integrations
  • Order management
  • Purchase order management

Return on Investment

  • Improved business manageability

Other Software Used

BigCommerce, QuickBooks Online, HubSpot CRM

Usability

Cin7 Orderhive is gone, Cin7 is not not a good fit for multi channel Inventory management

Verified User
Project Manager in Sales (1-10 employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Cin7 Orderhive is being sunsetted and rightly so. I started using this system as a multichannel inventory management system 3 years ago. In the beginning it worked well for me. As time went on there were many bugs for example it's main function is inventory management and it would constantly over sell items. It took a while to find out why they weren't reporting the correct information. Then they told me it was my responsibility to resolve it with the channel. I'm not a tech guy, but it went down hill from there.

In my opinion, same as many companies, they give you all the attention you need in the beginning then forget about you. For me, customer service is slow to respond and mostly good for basic questions. Anything problem related never got resolved quickly.

Pros

  • Fees charges exactly when due. they do that well

Cons

  • Lifetime account rep lasted for a year
  • Channel integration not always connecting
  • Overselling items is a huge issue for me

Return on Investment

  • Lost sales due to inaccurate connections to channels
  • Over selling for the same reason
  • Couldn't print invoices unless I cleared my browser daily.
