Why Choose Thrive By Shopventory Over SKU IQ
Choosing the right inventory management platform is critical to your business. Discover why growing businesses are choosing Thrive.Â
If you’re here, it’s because your business needs the data and organization an inventory management solution brings to the table. Discussed below are the differences between Thrive and SKU IQ and how these platforms can impact your bottom line.Â
Before we get into the specifics of the product and feature differences, Shopventory was built exclusively for small and medium-sized businesses that need a platform that will grow with them.
Top 3 Reasons Growing Businesses Choose Thrive Over SKU IQ
Simplify Complex Inventory
Because Thrive is designed for inventory management, we go beyond just stock counts and catalog syncing. Thrive manages all parts of your inventory, even if it’s really, really complicated with tools like Bundles, Modifiers, and Variants.
A favorite feature is Assemblies which tracks inventory levels for raw materials, managing your entire product line from creation to sale. It’s designed specifically for retailers looking to streamline and optimize their manufacturing process so they can focus on growing.Â
We provide the tools to have full transparency over your inventory so you never oversell, set profitable margins, and automate re-ordering.
Reporting That Goes Beyond Surface Level
We have reports you don’t even know you need, like our inventory change report. Thrive users love this report for seeing trends in product movement over a specific timeframe. That means you can do things like curate a better summer product assortment than last year when you know exactly what flew off the shelves and what gathered dust.Â
And because we know each business has different needs, we have robust custom reporting capabilities so you see the exact information you want, how you want it. In fact, we built a whole custom Thrive Metrics product for you to visualize the health of your entire business.Â
When it comes to SKU IQ, you have to be on their highest plan before being able to receive custom reports. And they build them for you, meaning you don’t have the instant flexibility you need to run your business day-to-day.Â
Capabilities That Inspire You To Diversify Your Sales
Thrive was designed to break down barriers to growth. Small business owners need new channels which contribute to a stronger, diversified business. You need a platform that helps you meet your goals as fast as possible.Â
With Thrive, you can easily run a wholesale operation, list your products on Google Shopping, open stores across the country, and design your own exclusive product line. SKU IQ, however, was built to simply support small storefront and e-commerce businesses. So if you’re hoping to accelerate your sales with new channels, you need Thrive.
What Business Owners Are Saying About Thrive
We have a growing online business and product inventory that had way outgrown our method of spreadsheet management so we were looking for a software that would help with this.
We are very happy with Thrive, it has already started to make it easier to keep up with our inventory. We don't have a very big web-store but enough to keep us on our toes trying to keep track of all of it and transitioning from our huge spreadsheet to Thrive simplifies reports.
