Customer support needs to be improved. Apart that nothing to dislike this.

I will surely recommend this to small and medium businesses mainly as it will help them to grow more with minimize costs, target sales and many more. It's pricing is affordable by small and medium businesses.

**What problems is Connected solving and how is that benefiting you?**

As a logistics company we manage our inventory, distribution, audits, financial management with this software. It helped us to minimise our operation costs by automated processes. It can easily accept orders and provide quotes to customers according to their needs. It helps us in payment confirmations, ledgers, customer service, audits to prevent loss and fraud, job costs, purchasing, etc. Our all departments can be managed from same platform.

  ### 2. It's made for accounting

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 13, 2018

**What do you like best about Connected?**

What I like about Connected is that if you want to export your files, you can export into an Excel file with all the information you want. Connected also features pretty good comprehensive importing routine without having to manually enter it.

**What do you dislike about Connected?**

It's use of some button features like the history tab. I can't see exactly what I looked up, it just gives me a very general idea or history and not the specific. There are times where I want to go back to where I last was and can't, so then I have to try to remember and find the data. It also doesn't want to "cooperate" with some other softwares, which is a thumbs down.

**Recommendations to others considering Connected:**

Don't try to use it as an ERP/MRP system like how we did. If you're going to use it for accounting purposes only, then Connected is great!!

**What problems is Connected solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We solved a lot of accounting problems with our company. Currently we are also trying to use it as an "ERP/MRP" system even though it's not built for that. So it gives us the flexibility to use it as one. We see our our purchase order of products/components etc.
