Striven At A Glance
Product Overview
Striven is a cloud-based enterprise resource planning software that empowers companies to work smarter. Instead of using a modular approach like most ERP solutions, the vendor includes all of its core features in one platform. Striven is ideal for remote, hybrid, and office environments because it provides all of the tools users need to work efficiently from anywhere.
The software has numerous benefits, such as:
- Improved productivity and collaboration
- Customizable functionality
- Accessibility for external users (e.g., vendors, customers) via dedicated portals
- Integration with third-party tools (e.g., banking software, Google, Microsoft)
Features
Here are some of Striven’s key features.
Accounting – The software has full accounting functionality, including a general ledger, accounts payable features and accounts receivables features. It integrates with banking accounts (e.g., TD Bank), so users can reconcile their revenue and expenses against their accounts. They can also get a 360-degree view of their data via a dashboard, create financial reports and set up bills and invoices. What’s more, Striven’s finance features can be customized for specific types of organizations, like governments and nonprofits. Additional features include order management, tax management, expense tracking and payroll. For companies that prefer to use their own payroll software, Striven offers integration at no extra cost.
Customer relationship management (CRM) – Sales reps can track their entire pipeline with the CRM dashboard, and they can create reports based on specific metrics, such as revenue and customer demographics. Marketers can set up triggered email messaging or drip campaigns for each stage of the buyer journey. The software also includes surveys and other tools to help marketers nurture relationships with their current customers.
Project management – Users can track all of the details of their projects, including budgets, tasks, milestones and resources. They can assign tasks and set up workflows with a drag-and-drop interface, share files, visualize statuses in their preferred view (e.g., Kanban boards, lists, Gantt charts) and receive alerts. Striven integrates with Outlook, Gmail and other calendars for scheduling meetings, and it also connects with Google Workspace, where emails can automatically be turned into tasks.
Human Resources (HR) – With the built-in applicant tracking system, recruiters can send job postings, schedule interviews and communicate with candidates. They can also store documents, such as assessments, background check results and onboarding forms (e.g., W-4s, I-9s).
Other features include employee profiles (e.g., salary, benefits), a real-time news feed for company announcements and time and expense tracking. Finally, recruiters can run reports on applications, skills and other metrics, and they can filter the data based on different criteria.
Inventory management – Users can monitor inventory items in real time for a single site or multiple warehouses, as well as evaluate their current inventory stock with status reports. They can also set up thresholds that trigger alerts if items need to be reordered. The software has custom features that accommodate specific business needs, such as configurable stock locations. And it supports manufacturing operations, as users can create bills of materials and calculate the costs of materials. Additional features include purchase order management, barcode scanning and inventory valuation.
Productivity – Striven includes productivity tools to help users work smarter, such as real-time chat, a resource navigator, a smart calendar, goal tracking and time management. In addition, users can customize dashboards, reports, lists and other features.
Portals – With the add-on Customer, Vendor and Candidate portals, companies can provide access to their external users. Customers can make payments, track their orders and communicate with the customer service team. With the Vendor Portal, vendors can get work orders and submit invoices, while internal users can search for new vendors and send PO requests to multiple vendors. Finally, candidates can upload resumes, complete applications and assessments and communicate with recruiters.
