Great Supplier Management

Great - super friendly

Pros

UX experience for sure! It's very east to use.

Cons

We need an inventory management system. So hopefully Anvyl builds that out down the line.

Great Product

As our company has grown dramatically, this software has really made it easy for our small team to keep up with each other. It also makes creating an order much easier with dedicated part numbers and an easy-to-use interface. I'm overall pretty happy with this as we weren't using anything else before except spreadsheets.

Pros

What I liked most about the software was that I organized all of my purchasing into one platform that was easy to use and focus on. Previously I was using email and spreadsheets and all of the data was scattered and it was difficult to share with others working on the same job. Anvyl made it super easy to order and

Cons

What I like least so far about the software is that it is sometimes difficult to communicate to others how to use the software.

Away Feedback

It has made our lives so much easier! Before, we managed our POs and master data across multiple Googlesheets. Anvyl has saved us time and improved our overall inventory accuracy.

Pros

- Easy and simple to set up new suppliers and SKUs. - Easy to issue PO's from the system - The ability to invite suppliers to the platform and communicate through Anvyl vs. email (we have not turned on this feature yet) - Central repository for all our data. Enables better master data accuracy and inventory transparency across the supply chain. - The CSV download is great for tracking all open orders in a clean concise format. I would like to see a screen in Anvyl that would do this in a easy to understand format.

Cons

- IT DOES NOT SUM THE TOTAL UNITS ON THE PO. This drives us nuts. - The split shipments are great but because we can have multiple containers and Flex-ID's shipping to the same location, the integration with Flexport does not work for us. - We would like to customize the PO template (add color, style code, etc) - We would like to customize the milestone dates (PO accepted, Production Start, Shipment ready, Shipment actual, etc). - Integration with WMS systems would be great to see the PO through from creation to delivery at the 3PLs.

Vendor friendly

As stated above, when it works, it works incredibly well. As everyone at both ends becomes more used to it, the use issues have become less frequent and more easily handled. .

Pros

As a vendor partner to Anvyl, I van tell you in most cases the information that is provided is accurate and detailed so it makes it easy to respond and provide pricing.

Cons

In some cases, critical information is missing which results in emails or phone calls and kind of defeats the purpose of an automated digital process like this. That is not really a software issue, that just confirms every process is only as good as the information provided. The software itself has been impressive.

Great sourcing platform

Pros

Easy to use, very active team who will respond right away and pushes suppliers for you.

Cons

Some software glitches but overall solid.
