Great System

The customer support is amazing, they log onto your computer and get things fixed really quick, I really appreciate their customer support. The system is not very complex, so it's quick to learn for anyone!

PROS

I really like the inventory management and the ordering system, there are a few things I would change specifically for our store but I think most people would say the same.

CONS

I don't love how much access staff can get, seems like it is an all or nothing access and I would prefer more options.

Reason for choosing ACCEO Smart Vendor

That everything can be tracked from PO# all the way through to a sale.

CONS

There are features that are not available which other companies provide with there POS system.Every thing has to be developed and priced out.

Not intuitive. Horrible A/R statements

Nice people on the customer service team. Unfortunately, I have to talk to them way too often.

PROS

Integrates with our scales for weighing items.

CONS

Why press one button when you can press 5? Also, Accounts Receivable statements are an absolute nightmare and make us look unprofessional.

Reason for choosing ACCEO Smart Vendor

Lots of people in my industry use it

Vendor Response

Our Product Owner reached out to you before this review was posted, inviting you to a meeting to discuss your concerns.

Need modernization

PROS

Great tool to be used in a small business operated by mom or dad, without the need of special customized report or screens. Very simple and limited.

CONS

In 2023 this application should be more user friendly to access product and to generate reports, screens and menus need upgrades. Report writer is still in the 90's development.

Vendor Response

We're thrilled to hear that you find our tool beneficial for small businesses without the need for complex customization.

Your input is essential in guiding our development efforts, and we hope that as we make these enhancements, you'll find our application more intuitive and efficient for your business needs. Please keep an eye out for updates, and feel free to reach out with any additional suggestions or feedback you may have smartvendor.customersuccess@acceo.com .

Slow development and improvement, lack of various features, not recommended for major use

The only benefit we have received from this software is an introduction into the realm of POS software, and a medium to cause us to decide to invest in a better quality system.

PROS

Smart Vendor is a fairly simple, contained system. All modules are under one window--Sales Register, Stock File, and System Setup, along with many more options. Basic sales entry is clear and simple for the most part, and training employees has gone fairly smoothly, within minimal time.

CONS

Lacks features such as reading certain styles of barcodes from variable weight scale stickers. Only reads the standard format, which makes problems with plu numbers longer than 4 digits. Has many options and modules that are not self-explanatory, and appear to be not generally useful. Does not natively support gift cards. It does have a gift certificate management, but that is fairly useless because you cannot redeem less than the total amount of the certificate. Thus we go back to pen and calculate the difference, and write it on the certificate. Smart Vendor also does not support import and export of data. The stock-file interface that you must use to enter and edit stock items is not efficiently designed. We chose this software over another similar system because Smart Vendor promised to implement penny rounding functionality sooner than the competitor. (In Canada, pennies have become obsolete). But it turned out that the competition had developed that feature quite a bit sooner than Smart Vendor--who had passed their promised date.

Vendor Response

Thank you for the review of ACCEO Smart Vendor¿s easy to navigate and easy use to use interfaces. The Penny Rounding Update for Smart Vendor was made available to your store in November, 2013, as part of your annual Customer Care Support Plan. Unfortunately, your store¿s support plan lapsed a few months after that, and therefore the store did not keep pace with new software features or maintenance development. Smart Vendor does have the ability to scan and decode Random Weight Barcodes (deli counter type barcodes). The Gift Certificate feature allows you to refund the difference to a credit note, or any other form of payment that the consumer may redeem at a future date. Our web based gift card module is an integrated function in the sales register which helps track residual value . Our Smart Data Import Module has evolved into an extremely powerful tool for regularly importing supplier product lists, adding products and updating costs. We would be pleased to speak with you further.
