Advanced cloud-based inventory management for the mid-market

LOCATE - 2025 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

Table of Contents

What is LOCATE?

LOCATE's cloud-based solution brings the advanced inventory features of an ERP system to the mid-market at a fraction of the cost.

LOCATE Inventory is an enterprise-level inventory and workflow management system for SMBs, offering 30+ native integrations, outsource manufacturing capabilities and accounting tools, plus customizable reporting, mobile functionality, automated printing/emailing, flexible pricing rules, and more.

The average LOCATE company is a product-based business with 10-100 employees. LOCATE can be simplified to work for a single warehouse processing a few orders a day, or a fast-paced business with multiple warehouse sites, processing hundreds or thousands of orders to their distributors, as well as online retail customers. As your business grows, your database grows – and your inventory solution should grow with it. There are no limitations to the amount of data you pick up along the way.

With LOCATE, you leverage the power of inventory data, order prioritization, work assignments, and a powerful rules engine, which work together to generate the best workflow plans for your current pipeline.

LOCATE’s mobile application facilitates all of your warehouse operations to bring accuracy and efficiency to your fulfillment process. The app runs on almost any Android or iOS device, so you can take advantage of the speed and convenience of barcode scanning in your warehouse at a fraction of the cost. Best of all, LOCATE Warehouse is included with your subscription at no additional cost!

LOCATE's dynamic purchasing features include outsourced manufacturing, 3PL support, and dropshipping workflows. Advanced reconciliation features such as landed cost (by qty, cost, volume, weight, or even custom factors) ensure correct asset valuation.

Sales features allow users to manage quotes, inventory reservations, custom pricing, and margins. LOCATE Inventory also provides users with real-time visibility into order fulfillment with data and operations tracking technology.

Our extensive library of over 130 stock reports are already included with LOCATE, with more added regularly. Automated reports can be printed or emailed at specific points in your workflow to increase warehouse efficiency. Access to LOCATE's audit trails, inventory ledger, and accounting ledger allow for deep dive analysis at a moment’s notice.

Benefits of using LOCATE

Part tracking and serialization tools allow users to track parts by expiration date, category, serial number, and more.

LOCATE supports the unique and dynamic needs of mid-market businesses with features like outsource manufacturing, 3PL workflows, inventory reservations, and use orders to manage samples and trade shows.

LOCATE Inventory supports integrations with 30+ platforms across multiple channels, including eCommerce, shipping, accounting, reporting, and more. Our open, RESTful API enables large-scale customizations.

Includes an extensive library with over 100 stock reports, helping users gain valuable insight into inventory performance.

Pros

I like the fact that it is SaaS, and they have integration with all the tools we need. The barcoding on BIN locations and the paperwork it generates has been a godsend.

Tyler R.

Chief Executive Officer

Locate is continually rolling out improvements and additional capabilities, their customer service is responsive, pleasant and truly helpful.

Erica E.

President

We feel like this is a platform that will grow with us. Locate is radically different - better, IMO - from any other inventory/order management platform in it's class and a great value for the money.

Erica E.

President

Cons

For example, sales orders can't be edited in an issued status. This is inconvenient when a partial order goes out and you need to adjust the remaining order.

Jason T.

Controller

Some of the features and functionalities are still too limited.

Jason T.

Controller

The second chart of accounts threw me off a bit and it was sometimes difficult to reconcile with QBO.
