INTRODUCTIONThis FrontRunners analysisIn the Inventory Managementis a data-driven assessmentFrontRunners infographic, theidentifying products in the Inventoryminimum qualifying scores wereManagement software market that4.23 for Usability and 4.11 for Useroffer the best capability and valueRecommended.for small businesses. For a givenmarket, products are evaluated andgiven a score for Usability (x-axis)and User Recommended (y-axis).FrontRunners then plots 10-15products each on a Small Vendorand an Enterprise Vendor graphic,based on vendor business size, percategory.To be considered for the InventoryManagement FrontRunners, aproduct needed a minimum of 20user reviews published within 18months of the evaluation period.Products needed a minimum userrating score of 3.0 for both Usabilityand User Recommended.3
IntroductionThe minimum score cutoff to be included inthe FrontRunners graphic varies by category,depending on the range of scores in each category.No product with a score less than 3.0 in eitherdimension is included in any FrontRunners graphic.For products included, the Usability and UserRecommended scores determine their positions onthe FrontRunners graphic.4
DEFINING INVENTORYMANAGEMENTS O F T WA R EInventory Management software isand item attribute management, asa digital framework for a perpetualwell as at least one of the following:inventory system, in whichbarcoding/RFID/electronic scanning,quantities are continuously updatedorder management, lot traceabilityin real time across multiple physicaland/or reporting/analysis.and digital channels (e.g., brickand-mortar stores, e-commerceplatforms).

METHODOLOGYBASICSThe FrontRunners methodologyassesses and calculates ascore for products on two primarydimensions: Usability on the x-axisand User Recommended on they-axis.The Usability score is a weightedaverage of user ratings including: End-user ratings of one to fivestars on how valuable usersconsider the product to berelative to its price. End-user ratings of one to fivestars on how likely they areto recommend the product toothers.There are up to two FrontRunners End-user ratings of one to fivestars on the product’s ease of use.graphics for each market, one End-user ratings of one tofive stars on the product’sfunctionality.Vendors graphic. The Small VendorsThe User Recommended score isan overall weighted average ofscores including:Small Vendors and one Enterprisegraphic highlights qualifiers fromsmaller (by employee size) vendors,while the Enterprise Vendorsgraphic displays qualifiers for larger(by employee size) vendors.14
M ethodology BasicsMarkets are defined by a core set of functionality,and to be eligible for FrontRunners, productsmust offer that core set of functionality. Corefunctionality required is determined by ourresearch analysts, who provide coverage for andhave familiarity with products in that market.Additionally, a product must have at least 20unique user-submitted product reviews publishedwithin 18 months of the start of the analysis periodacross the three Gartner Digital Markets webproperties: softwareadvice.com, capterra.com andgetapp.com.Inclusion in the Small Vendor or EnterpriseVendor FrontRunners graphics is based on vendoremployee count. Vendors eligible for the EnterpriseVendor graphic must have more than the medianemployee count for all vendors in the market, or100 employees—whichever is greater. Vendorswhose employee counts do not meet either ofthose thresholds qualify for the Small Vendorgraphic.In the event fewer than 10 products qualify for either a SmallVendors or Enterprise Vendors FrontRunners graphic, the vendorsthat do qualify will be combined into a single graphic.115
