    No solution is perfect, but I would say that Thrive is a particularly robust and complex solution that's intended to tackle major demand management and inventory forecasting problems. Smaller companies simply won't need a solution that's so all-encompassing. I would recommend waiting unitl you know that you need it before moving forward with a solution like Thrive.

    Thrive Technologies
    • Although it's simpler than many alternatives, it's a highly complex system and at times we felt lost during the transition period.
    • We didn't get the results we had imagined when looking at their case studies and marketing materials. I understand many factors go into those things, and their case studies are not necessarily indicative of typical results, but your mileage may vary.
    • Inventory replenishment alerts about potential stockouts weren't always reliable.

    Thrive Technologies
    Abas ERP was what we had used previously, and though it did its job adequately, it lacked the forecasting, demand management, and inventory replenishment sophistication of Thrive. We reached a point where we felt it was untenable to supplement the previous system on our own which necessitated the switch to Thrive.

    • The transition was painful, causing initial doubts, but it was certainly worth the growing pains
