The Vendor Portal application offered a simple and intuitive interface for the user to enter item and store data in the form of Models, Catalogs and Assortments that later integrated with the GOLD database. > > **Cons**: I only used a relatively limited portion of the overall capability of Simplain's Vendor portal on a daily basis but all the features I used were spot on. I big part of my interaction with the Vendor Portal was related to analyzing and reporting on assortment data. Vendor Portal allowed this by enabling the user to download item/ assortment data in the form of a spreadsheet. Depending on the data set, this could take more or less time. Anything that can be done to decrease download time on large data sets would be great. ----- ### "Great experience" — 5.0/5 > **Ghouse** | *17 April 2021* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Efficient and effective Supplier Management, Product Management, Cost and Rebate Maintenance, Purchase Order/Invoice and Vendor Performance modules. Captures business-specific product data including ingredients, nutrition, allergen, marketing claims and other attributes. Simple mass uploads and simple third-party integrations. > > **Cons**: Suggest additional dashboards. But this is a question of development based on customer need and we hope to do so soon. > > Great value for the money and aligns well with our stringent business processes. Embraced very well by our vendor partners as well as downstream users. Professional approach in the need analysis, implementation, and the need for very little training and support. Highly secure and scalable system, whether on-premise or on the cloud. ----- ### "Powerful yet simple, a system with a huge potential" — 5.0/5 > **Mohannad** | *18 February 2023* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Simplain vendor portal is a feature-rich system that combines power and simplicity. Being a cloud based system makes implementation and ongoing operations much easier and requires minimal supervision. As an implementation consultant, it was easy to understand what business problems the system solves and how to jells with the rest of the environment (i.e. the ERP systems). Simplain support team is swift in jumping on issues, one of the most effective support teams I’ve come across. > > **Cons**: Nothing major I can think of. Possibly building more open APIs to allow more integrations with various other systems. I believe this is on the roadmap of Simplain. > > I very much recommend the technology, implementation teams, management commitment to the product vision, and the post implementation support. It is a rare combination that Simplain seems to have nailed it. Bravo\! ----- ### "One point solution for retailers and vendors" — 5.0/5 > **Parvathy** | *20 February 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: User friendly and easy to adapt. Covers almost all major modules of supply chain > > **Cons**: Can provide working videos along with user manual for easy use > > Its very good ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/183943/simplain) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
