Opiniones de Anvyl

Great Supplier Management

Comentarios: Great - super friendly

Puntos a favor:

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

Contras:

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

Great Product

Comentarios: 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.

Puntos a favor:

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

Contras:

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

Comentarios: 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.

Puntos a favor:

- 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.

Contras:

- 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

Comentarios: 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. .

Puntos a favor:

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.

Contras:

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

Puntos a favor:

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

Contras:

Some software glitches but overall solid.

Great PO Management and Communications Tool

Puntos a favor:

We have only been using Anvyl for a few weeks, but it's already made a big difference in managing my workload and keeping all orders organized. I love the fact that I can tie all communications and documentation to a single order in Anvyl. I don't have to access multiple locations (email, dropbox/google folders) to find what I need. All the information is consolidated.

Contras:

Anvyl is a new platform, and there are areas for improvement - fields that could be added to purchase orders, an internal notes section, the ability to tag only certain people on communications based on need/area of expertise.

Great PO/Supplier Management and Communication Tool

Comentarios: Overall the software is very useful and can save the team a lot of time.

Puntos a favor:

The fact you can tie in all supplier communication and documents to one PO is very helpful.

Contras:

The Parts section is difficult to navigate through. Hoping they will eventually build in an inventory management system.

Operational Execellence at it's BEST!

Puntos a favor:

As a veteran of the consumer goods category for 15 years - working with global conglomerates and scrappy start-ups - the manufacturing process of any good is continually the most painful part of running a CPG-style business. Anvyl has gone a very long way to fix this, and continues to improve it regularly. I was able to reduce the costs of my product by 23% and able to shorten the development/production of a new product by 60%. That just can't happen without Anvyl there doing what no one has ever been able to do before - create true transparency of the entire supply chain and automate the most time consumer parts.

Contras:

We're just a few months into the partnership, and so far we don't have any issues at all.

My experience

Comentarios: Changing a previous Po that used a different part numbers or non BOM parts

Puntos a favor:

Easy to place Orders, traceability and reporting

Contras:

Support for interphone is too late . By the time I get help I already figure it out the solution . Problem is that I have to be very careful to avoid creating a bigger problems .

Does the job

Comentarios: overall, very good

Puntos a favor:

The visibility it provides and the communication

Contras:

Too many emails sent on shipments, etc. which clog up email.

Design and Approvals point of view.

Comentarios: When we work with the support team it was great, they gave a good overview of the status and kept the things running smoothly going the extra mile to help us achieve what we were looking for.

Puntos a favor:

The easiness to follow the manufacturer's process.

Contras:

It doesn't allow to comment directly on the photos received from the vendors. It does not allow to sign proofs directly without downloading and redownloading. The RFQ process, a lot of times we are still doing development asking quantities and dates it's hard.

Excellent UX and Communication

Comentarios: made my life easier. by far.

Puntos a favor:

The Interface is simple to navigate and most importantly communicate with foreign factory reps efficiently and easily

Contras:

Can't think of any immediate cons but for hard coded part names products and components of products(parts) should be different

Anvyl

Comentarios: So far, so good. The implementation team has been very helpful and disposition is great.

Puntos a favor:

Visibility and easy of use. We can clearly define the 4 stages for all our shipments and visualize them at ay given point.

Contras:

Nothing yet. Will update once I have suggestions

Value Added!

Comentarios: Anvyl really helped organize our POs and communication. Easy to use and easy to set up!

Puntos a favor:

Saved me a ton of time and kept all our purchase orders in one comprehensive place.

Contras:

Need to be able to customize the different stages.

Great Concept

Comentarios: We were hoping to use this as a product development and supply chain management tool however, no communication has been done through the tool and tool itself was difficult to submit RFQs.

Puntos a favor:

I really liked the idea of Anvyl and being able to streamline our supply chain here

Contras:

The platform itself doesn't easily translate RFQs. I had to submit screenshot and word PDFs to describe what I'm looking for in parts. No tracking or supplier communication has been done through the platform itself during the sampling process.

Working with the Anvyl Platform

Puntos a favor:

Innovation and flexibility and ease of use.

Contras:

Needs more user-friendly features that work for a broad range of business users.

Good

Puntos a favor:

Short learning curve with no prior experience with platform. Easy to use.

Contras:

Some functionality could be added in regards to being able to pull reports on users end whether that be details regarding orders or parts.

Highly valuable software

Puntos a favor:

Interface of the software is great and easy to use. Love the way that the screens are designed, it's easy to navigate and get a pulse check on my suppliers and production across different products and projects.

Contras:

It is currently unable to connect/integrate with SAP which is a software that my company uses. Hence, it requires my team to enter information in Anvyl and then again in SAP.

Cool functions and features/ not always easy to use

Puntos a favor:

There are a ton of useful functions. Easy to track shipments, I wish more of our suppliers /CMs would use it.

Contras:

It's not always easy to navigate through. It could take some digging to find all of the PO and invoices. It would be cool if they sent them automatically.

Ease of use

Puntos a favor:

Highly intuitive, easy to use. Great reference for pricing and repository of all docs

Contras:

Individual builds get lost; would love to have a payments option on the platform

Clarity in Chaos

Puntos a favor:

Ease of use Clarity into a complex segment of the supply chain Accountability on both supplier and customer side Suppliers can update and modify on the fly and inform the customer

Contras:

Lack of translations for overseas customers

ANVYL TEAM

Comentarios: The team at Anvyl is extraordinary. They are diligent, efficient and patient.

Puntos a favor:

Easy to use and well organized..

Contras:

I could not find a copy of my submitted RFQs.
