Integration of POS, CRM and inventory as well as top notch reporting system
PHILLIP P.
I like the set up was easy, somethings I did not feel comfortable to provide at the time of set up and gave me the option to do later. The dashboard is every easy to navigate around on.

It can be slow sometimes and make simple tasks seem difficult
User in Civic & Social Organization
Is a PAIN to use. I feel like I have to swipe a person's card a million times before it actually works because the dang thing is so sensitive.
