4.5/5

What do you like best about Handshake?

I love the ease of learning Handshake, it has been simple for us to grow the business to online also. Handshake has a beautiful outline and great functionality. Handshake has been easy for our Sales Team to create orders and submit them efficiently.

Quickbooks syncs with Handshake in a time frame that we can choose which is nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Handshake could have a better portal to connect to recruiters which I think is missing there! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Handshake helps us improve student outcomes"

5/5

What do you like best about Handshake?

This software helped us go from manual order entry form on paper to remote syncing and bulk monitoring of orders with historical records. This has improved our operation in so many ways!

We are able to serve our population of almost 15,000 students on a weekly basis. We stay organized and can hit a 2 hr turn around for emergency orders.

"Small B2B Apparel Vendor"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Handshake?

Simplicity of customer facing portal, makes it easy for our clients (small business owners) to easily login and place orders. Migration of data from QB ( through Boomi ) was easy and we only have to to receive new items in one place (Quickbooks) which saves a bunch of data entry time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Handshake?

Lack of automation in approving customers, it's a manual process which can take up time. The support team takes forever to answer tickets and they don't properly follow up on tickets once they have responded. I've had to reach out to my AM on several occasions to help expedite a support request after it's been unattended for week. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Handshake:

Look into a shopify password protected website for a cheaper solution. Where shopify lacks in B2B it more than make sup in CRM integrations and website interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Handshake solving and how is that benefiting you?

Reduce time spend on phone writing orders, making re-orders easier for the customer, and properly showcasing our entire catalog to customers easily Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The benefits are that our customers can take their time and place their order on their own online. Which makes it easier for them and easier for us as well. It has cleared our lines a little so we don't have many missed calls because our customers are utilizing the website to place orders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
