Clear Spider has created massive efficiencies and savings for my customers.

Reviewed 6 years ago

CSI has created many efficiencies in our inventory management - most pertain to making inventory data digital and accessible across the company. The User/Company/Program relationship has been very important in our business because various business groups need ways to segregate their data from others. The order processes and to-do list assignments have created individual accountability in workflows...

Pros

Clear Spider provides a deeply detailed and configurable inventory solution but allows the flexibility to use as much or as little as needed. This means that we can benefit from one product to manage something as simple as a department supply closet to a complicated parts management and procurement system for company assets. If the functionality you're looking for doesn't exist already, niche solutions...

Cons

The most negative feedback I get about CSI is related to the UI. Many of my customers use web applications with flashy graphics and animations, and some simply notice the difference between CSI and other applications that take advantage of updated CSS stylings / plugins. What people like about the UI is that once they've learned how a page works, most other pages follow suit (query parameters near...

Using Clear Spider has allowed my organization to better manage our inventory and grow our business.

Reviewed 6 years ago

Increased the number of outbound shipments by 42% in the first year. Greater inventory accuracy and visibility. The real-time changes to inventory means I can better informed decision related to my business. The addition/ creation of an on-line order portal greatly reduced the number of man hours we have had to devote to internal order processing and an increase in customer satisfaction.

Pros

The system is easy to use and has more features than we need. The tech support people are superb. Integration/ interfacing with other systems is easily handled by back end support. Partnering with Clear Spider means that my organization could move away from a very linear outbound order process, and serving only one customer at a time, to handling multiple customers and orders at the same time.

Cons

The one major downside to the software is the lack of user customization. Users can not create their own reports or change the layout of views. The flip side to this is that the Clear Spider team can create just about any report that you need. The lack of flexibility is the one knock on the system.

Love the system. Easy to use and facilitates more efficient and effective planning with customers.

Reviewed 6 years ago
Pros

The fact that it is web based is my favorite feature of the software. This allows my customers (who have access to their own inventory) to see the same things I see when we're planning for future projects. Having photos for them to view is also a nice touch. From an administrator's standpoint, the ease with which inventory is added to the system is definitely a major plus. Inventory comes in and out of our warehouse every day so simplicity of use makes it easier for me to do my job and keep inventory updated daily.

Cons

There have been occasional issues with adding items to inventory and fields populating correctly. I believe these issues had to do with initial uploading our product from different inventory software. However, when these issues arose in the past, they were quickly handled by the support team at Clear Spider.

I have used Clear Spider for the past 8 years and found the program to work perfectly.

Reviewed 6 years ago

The ability to find out where product is held in our warehouse, the age of the product, the sku details. I liked the ability to allow only some functions to some staff and full functions to others.

Pros

It's fast. I can maneuver quickly and get accurate answers quickly. Customer Support is absolutely the best. Broc Filman has been our main contact but everyone within this company has been fantastic to work with. Anytime we need help we get resolution within a few hours. Clear Spider gives fast, easy to understand reports and quick references.

Cons

We had to hire a programmer to help integrate the program with our customer ordering and payment system.

ClearSpider has been an critical tool in helping our organization streamline inventory management.

Reviewed 6 years ago
Pros

ClearSpider functionality is highly customizable, beyond the standard features package, making it a versatile tool for unique business data and operational needs. The ClearSpider development team that is assigned to each account is also highly skilled in understanding the needs of the business and translating it into tailored system solutions.

Cons

Development of custom functionality after launch is subject to the ClearSpider development team's bandwidth. The ClearSpider team is always flexible, responsive and supportive but system development needs on short timelines are challenging to get completed.

This software has greatly improved the efficiency of our warehouse.

Reviewed 6 years ago

Our warehouse was barely functional before we began using the software. Now we have a fully function warehouse to support our hospital.

Pros

I like how easy it is to use and how easy it is to export inventory reports to excel. It's very beneficial to me to be able to export quickly and send information to others in my organization who do not actively use the software.

Cons

The software works great for our purposes but it would be great if you could have the same item with different quantities listed in different locations and to be able to pick specific pallets to pull from.

Pros

the system works smoothly to get our customer orders entered into clear spider and into our inventory system as well

Cons

The scanners that we purchased to go with the system are not as user friendly as we would like. We had to create different work arounds for two of our customers in order to meet their requirements.

-The PO process is now online and anyone can access from anywhere - Approvals are done before the PO is issued - Inventory is online and anyone can access from anywhere - Provides real time inventory

Pros

The process of approvals of orders is automatic and flows through perfectly and the creates email notifications at the same time.

Does not allow approvals to proceed based on dollar amounts of POs. This would be ideal for our situation and process of approvals.

Love having a web based inventory system!

Reviewed 6 years ago

Our clients can see their inventory anytime / anywhere in real time.

Pros

Our clients love the ability to see their inventory in real time from a web based program. The transition to Clear Spider went smoothly and our Clear Spider representative offered assistance whenever we needed it. We also like the ability to do a pick and pack list from the system. So far we have been pleased with Clear Spider!

Cons

After I go into a record to edit and I save it takes me back to the admin page versus back to the items I had already searched. It would be nice to if the back to previous page actually took you back to where you were. It would save several steps.

Efficiently manage inventory, love using my cell phone to deduct inventory and the initial investment is small but the benefits are 10 fold.

Pros

The price is what I like most and the ability to spilt payments so it doesn't hit our budget all at one time. The ability to analyze data and run reports is very valuable to me as an inventory manager.

Cons

It is difficult for me to see when I launch using internet explorer. I don't know how to zoom so I have a larger view.

Inventory Management made simple

Reviewed 4 years ago

Clear Spider inventory management software gives you the ability to help your customers every day with things as easy as a price check or adding a return back to the shelves after it is brought back making customer satisfaction a number one achieved goal of mine.

Pros

There are many pros to Clear Spider starting with inexpensive. This inventory management software is cloud based making it very easy to use and accessible anywhere with increased security and real time data. Clear Spider is so easy to use, in my line of work, retail, all we do is scan the barcode and everything you need to know about the item is right there on your handheld scanner like amount of item to when you need to reorder the item. Everything you and your employees need to manage all inventory for more cost effective decisions and customer satisfaction.

Cons

As long as I've used clear spider software I still have yet to find a down side to it, enjoy.

Clear Spider has helped us navigate and control our completely random inventory needs.

Reviewed 6 years ago

It enables us to organize our inventory and know exactly what we have at any given time. Our inventory is based in donations so it's completely and totally random.

Pros

Once you learn the system, it's very easy to use. It was created specifically for our needs and we were able to make numerous changes in order to drill down to exactly what we needed. There is no superfluous data or items - which makes it very user friendly

Cons

The unknown when getting familiar with the system. Tracking inventory in this manner was a huge change for us, but because the system is built for our specifications, that "unknown" quickly goes away.

After selling our successful fulfillment, warehousing, digital print and call center business we saw the need for B t6 C and small B to B fulfillment for online sellers and importers. In starting this new service 3 years ago we did an exhaustive search of warehouse management software and chose Clear Spider. We found this to be one of the best decisions that we have made. The product is good, the customer service has been outstanding and they have really handled customization and adaptation well for us.
