In its favor

Why people choose Intact iQ

The signal that keeps Intact iQ on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.

Customers choose Intact iQ for its integrated trade counter and EPOS capabilities that unify point-of-sale with back-office inventory and financial modules in a single system.

The platform targets UK and Irish merchants, wholesalers, and distributors with sector-specific modules for stock control, procurement, and multi-branch management that generic ERPs do not match.

Organisations value the in-built customisation tools that allow the ERP to be shaped to specific business processes without code-level changes.

The 98% retention rate and 30+ year track record of Intact Software signals stability for mid-market companies committing to a long-term ERP investment.

Multi-warehouse and ABC stock-take management provide distribution businesses with inventory visibility that spreadsheet-based systems cannot deliver.

Customer service response times frustrate users — enquiries can take weeks to resolve, creating bottlenecks during critical periods like month-end or system upgrades.

Performance degrades noticeably when the system handles large datasets such as 10,000+ customers with multiple properties and address records, forcing users to export to Excel to find information.

Post-implementation support is described as poor by some customers, with implementation teams reportedly lacking product knowledge and delivering reports that do not match demo capabilities.

System updates introduce glitches that disrupt daily operations, making users apprehensive about applying new releases.

Filtering and search within the ERP screens is insufficient for complex queries, forcing power users to build manual exports to perform analysis.

Platform scorecard

Strengths, weaknesses, and where Intact iQ fits

Grades across six dimensions, plus a SWOT-style view of where the platform shines and where it falls short.

SWOT — strengths, weaknesses, and use-case fit

Strengths

Integrated trade counter and EPOS unify point-of-sale with back-office financial and inventory modules.Comprehensive multi-branch and multi-warehouse inventory management with ABC stock-take and aged stock reporting.Workflow automation rules can be configured without developer involvement through the application layer.Mobile access via the integrated app provides real-time visibility for field-based sales and warehouse teams.Business intelligence dashboards offer KPI tracking and personalised reporting across the enterprise.

Weaknesses

Performance degrades significantly when handling large datasets exceeding approximately 10,000 customer or stock records.Customer service response times are a common complaint, with resolution taking weeks for complex issues.System updates have been known to introduce glitches that disrupt live operations.Built-in filtering and search capabilities are insufficient for complex data queries, pushing power users to Excel exports.Implementation quality is inconsistent, with some customers reporting a lack of product knowledge from the implementation team.

Where it works

Mid-market merchants, wholesalers, and distributors in the UK and Ireland with 11–200 employees who need integrated trade counter and EPOS unified with back-office inventory and financials.Distribution businesses operating 1–5 warehouses or branches within a single geographic region, managing ABC stock takes and multi-branch visibility through a single system.Organisations seeking a configurable ERP that can be tailored to sector-specific workflows without requiring developer involvement or code-level customisation.Small field-based sales teams in distribution or wholesale who need mobile access to real-time stock availability, customer information, and order processing.Companies with moderate data volumes (under ~5,000 customer records and ~10,000 stock items) where performance remains consistent across daily operations.

Where it struggles

Large-scale distribution operations with 10,000+ customer records or complex multi-property address hierarchies, where system performance degrades noticeably and users resort to Excel exports for information retrieval.Organisations requiring responsive post-implementation support, where customer service response times measured in weeks create bottlenecks during critical periods like month-end.Businesses in regulated industries or outside the UK/Ireland region that require localised compliance features, multilingual support, or currency handling beyond GBP and EUR.Teams that depend on complex in-system filtering and ad-hoc querying for daily operations, as built-in search capabilities are insufficient for multi条件 data exploration.Companies with low tolerance for update disruption, given that system releases have been known to introduce glitches affecting live operations without predictable rollback options.

What gets migrated

Intact iQ object support

Object-by-object support for Intact iQ migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.

Customers

Fully supported

Customer records in Intact iQ hold addresses, price lists, credit limits, and account statuses. The REST API exposes Customer as a defined service with read/write access, allowing us to extract and load customer data with standard field mapping to most destination CRMs.

Suppliers

Fully supported

Supplier records include contact details, payment terms, rebate agreements, and procurement history. We map Supplier records directly into the destination's equivalent vendor or supplier object using the API's defined service layer.

Contacts

Fully supported

Contact records are linked to Customers and Suppliers and hold roles, phone numbers, and email addresses. The API permits read/write access to contact data, and we preserve the association back to the parent account during migration.

Stock Items

Mapping required

Stock Items carry complex relationships: BOM structures, variant codes, reorder levels, and ABC categories. Intact iQ's predictive stock management and replenishment rules require us to map not just the item record but also the replenishment configuration, which varies by customer setup.

Sales Orders

Fully supported

Open and historical sales orders are extractable via the REST API as a defined service. We preserve order line items, pricing, and discount structures. Closed orders can be migrated as historical records depending on the destination schema.

Purchase Orders

Fully supported

Purchase order records include supplier references, expected delivery dates, and line-level item assignments. We extract the full PO lifecycle from draft through to receipt and close the records appropriately at the destination.

GL Accounts

Mapping required

Chart of Accounts records carry account codes, types, and cost-centre assignments. The account code structure varies between Intact iQ configurations, so we validate the destination's chart before mapping and flag any mismatches in account type or currency assignment.

Open AP/AR Balances

Mapping required

Outstanding invoices and credit notes require careful sequencing — we extract current open items, map them to the destination's receivable or payable ledgers, and flag any partial payments or credit allocations that may not transfer cleanly.

Users

Mapping required

User records include roles, branch assignments, and permissions hierarchies. The destination may use a different role model, so we map permissions to the closest equivalent and flag any permissions that cannot be replicated.

Documents and Attachments

Not in this platform

Document storage in Intact iQ uses an internal attachment layer that is not exposed via the standard REST API definition. We do not migrate attached documents. We recommend exporting them separately and re-attaching post-migration.

Workflow Automation Rules

Mapping required

Intact iQ workflow rules are defined in the application layer and are not portable via the REST API. We document the existing rule set during discovery and provide a rule-rebuild guide for the destination system.

Custom Fields

Mapping required

Custom fields added to any standard object are stored in the database but require manual field mapping during migration scoping. We identify all custom field names and data types pre-extraction and map them to the destination's custom field schema.

Multi-Branch Configurations

Mapping required

Branch and warehouse assignments on inventory, stock takes, and users require pre-migration validation of the branch structure at both source and destination. Mismatched branch hierarchies are resolved during the mapping phase.

Bank and Cash Accounts

Fully supported

Bank accounts, cash accounts, and reconciliation data are accessible via the REST API as defined services. We extract current balances and recent transactions for re-creation at the destination.
