DEAR Inventory App Reviews

Awful. The integration with shopify does not function properly and the app cannot cope with anything that is non standard eg if auto fulfilment has commenced and the order is manually fulfilled, DEAR voids the sales order. Products are not uniformly updated from purchases when they are authorised and put away. Whilst we could cope with teething issues, what we cannot cope with is the complete lack of support. They will not take ownership of issues.

Very useful in integrating sales from Shopify to other accounting software. Also makes inventory monitoring easier. We encountered some issues though but the support is very accommodating and helpful with their knowledge of the app.

We migrated from Tradegecko to Dear Systems a few months ago, and have not looked back. Please see our review of Tradegecko for an idea of the frustration we had with them. Dear Systems works well for our business. We have not had any major issues with the synchronisation process between Dear, Shopify and Xero, and when we have had small issues or queries, they have always been resolved very quickly. We actually even got to meet a Dear Systems expert in person, who was very friendly and knew exactly what the best solution was.

New to DEAR so early days yet. The onboarding service was great, really happy with the service provided. A couple of glitches but generally a positive experience. Been up & running for week now & couple of things could be better/simpler particularly around importing data for sales orders. But for an off the shelve program its ok. But based on service to date I'm going 4 stars!

Great and robust system for handing our needs. Great intergrations. Support is good. Could be a bit better at timelines for meetings in general however when i really needed some help they made it happen so cant fault them really.

We have looked at a lot of inventory management systems and migrated from Tradegecko to DEAR. Extremely impressed with the product and system. It has a lot of manufacturing features that we do not use however for tracking purchase orders, bundles, composite products it is excellent. It is easy to duplicate products to quickly add or CSV can be imported. There is never going to be the perfect IMS for everyones business processes but this covers most of ours. We have suggested some improvments regarding batch actions via the web interface. Overall can recommend, no problems syncing with Shopify.

I would never in 1000 years recommend someone uses this system. It's incredibly overcomplicated and slow & not the right fit for an e-commerce company. Unless you have a team big enough to have someone dedicated full time to dear problem solving I would stay away at all costs. We paid thousands on dear consultants over the past year trying to get dear running well for us and after 18 months we're scrapping the project and moving onto a new system.

Dear is a great cloud-based ERP option. Affordable, solid customer support, straightforward but robust!

So far, DEAR's email ticket response time has been under 24 hours and the replies have resolved issues to my satisfaction, even when it takes a couple of emails...

Better than Tradegecko that we were using before. I like the ease of use. However, I think the extra $50 per additional user is too steep, and DEAR also charges ala carte per integration with 3rd party application too. This is both good and bad. You just need to evaluate your cost structure before you sign up. Overall, I would recommend it.

This is by far the best app to manage inventory, PO, sales, assembly and productions. It saved us tons of times. The customer service has been stellar ! I highly recommend this app for anyone who wants a solid inventory management systems

I used to be major fan of this software. Our company has been using it since 2016. Since the company has been acquired by Cin7 support has really declined. We've had a critical support case open for 3 weeks and it is still not resolved. I have been unable to talk to a human. I keep getting fobbed off with "the technical team is working on it" "our technical director will call you" "the fix will be rolled out over the weekend". All I want to do is talk to a human. I've asked every time to speak to someone about the issue. Nobody is talking. We pay 8K per year for the software. I used to recommend DEAR to many colleagues in the e-commerce space as a leading solution. However, this incident has left me really disillusioned with the company. If it was a minor issue I could understand a ticket taking 3 weeks to resolve but this has been a catastrophic meltdown of our Amazon integration in 4 countries. We have 69,000 notifications of sales data that can't be reconciled. I would not recommend DEAR inventory. Heather Cole Country Trading Co. Founder

We run up to 4 different channels into DEAR inventory, with the majority of our sales coming through Shopify. We integrate through StarShipIt in addition to this giving us a flawless end to end solution. The result is only as good as the work you put in to integrate these platforms, but it's one the easiest and fastest you'll find backed by a strong and responsive support team. We're tried others, but once you reach a certain size, you'll be glad you went with a comprehensive solution.

We're paying thousands of dollars a month for broken functionality promised by the platform. Every month a critical fix for their native Hubspot integration is promised but never delivered. We strongly suggest merchants look elsewhere. Counting stock by hand would be more effective than using DEAR Inventory.

DEAR really helped us integrate our inventory with Shopify. The cost is also very reasonable. Would recommend.

Very good software. The best part is the team will look at enhancement requests for new features and add them into their development. Make's our life a lot easier...

I have been using DEAR for my manufacturing CPG business and it is a fantastic piece of software. I would recommend it to other CPG companies.

We worked with them for the last 5 years and they had a good customer service. Now after a week from the first support request, they are still unable to update stock level on Shopify, and apparently the best they can do is writing you back once a day at the end of the day, and not sorting the problem yet. BAD customer service. We are losing sales because of this. Stock level is not updated and we have constant overselling that we cannot fulfil. Can you please URGENTLY fix this problem?

After I left a negative review, the DEAR Systems team followed up with me to solve the problem I had pointed out

DO NOT USE IF YOUR BUSINESS INVOLVES SALES TAX. There are two major issues with DEAR Systems: The first is that their system is simply not reliable when it comes to sales tax (and frequent changes made to their system often breaks any sales tax matching that was already set up). On MORE than one occasion, these sales tax changes has resulted in thousands of transactions that required manual review/updates. The second, more unforgivable problem, is that once you sign up, it's painfully obvious that the well-being of your business doesn't actually matter, which appears to be a tone set from the top; we've certainly been disappointed on numerous occasions by co-founder and director Alexei Piltiaev's shocking lack of professionalism and respect and it would appear everyone else is following his lead. If you do make the mistake we did and sign up for this service, here's a pro-tip: When things go wrong and their team ignores you, the best way to actually get them to respond is post a negative review here. While your business doesn't matter, their star rating here sure does.
