Great support, great poduct

Reviewed 5 years ago

People are great to work with. They all have an understanding on how the software works. The screens are easy to work with.

Pros

Easy to filter and find things. Support is amazing

Cons

Reports are on going, nothing to run out of the box. New broker security setup can be frustrating because you have to drag it to multiple spots.

Par-Way

Reviewed 4 years ago
Pros

For the most part it is fairly easy to use. If you do not use regularly it gets tricky. I wish there would be a frequently asked questions. Or a small manual if you will.

Cons

Would like to see a tips for creating contracts example. For instance is it off invoice what you do. If the distributor bills back what you do

Blacksmith Review

Reviewed 3 years ago

It's not the knowledge tool we were lead to believe and the "kinks" don't appear to have been worked out

Pros

That I can input and alter data without assistance from another party or individual

Cons

It's not as intuitive as it seems it could be and others can alter without main users knowledge

GoSimple - New User

Reviewed 5 years ago

Extremely positive. The system has enabled us to recover lot of amount(and counting) from customers who took deductions that they were not entitled to.

Pros

Personal interaction with the team is like no other I've experienced. They truly are our business partner and not merely a vendor looking to get paid.

Cons

We are still trying to get a key report that we thought we would have when we launched the product in January
