Run a mile

Shocking experience. Very difficult to reconcile. Was promised in writing that fees would be charged monthly in an invoice, all lies to get us to sign the contract. Reports are not accurate, they vary from report to report with the same information. Moving to lightspeed has only cost me more time and frustration

Stock Price Not Updating

Vend has a function to receive stock and to set a mark-up for a Vendor. However this functions does not update your current stock pricing or your selling price. They have a Inventory report with a Average pricing. But your average stock price and your current inventory and selling price is not connected. As such you can receive stock in Vend, but it does not update any pricing and you can sell the stock at a loss. Causing your business to fail. Vend would like you to update the pricing manually by importing a stock list.
