Owner Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 11/19/2018 "An overwhelming transition made approachable." 5/5 What do you like best about Rain Retail? It's very hard to say what I like best! While the system is amazing, the customer service that goes with it is phenomenal. I enjoyed having a direct contact person for any questions. Devere Wilkey was my "guide" through the process and my weekly training and transition calls with her made the process of upgrading to the system possible for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Rain Retail? There was nothing about the process that I disliked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Rain Retail solving and how is that benefiting you? Managing an inventory (fabric) that is very difficult to manage otherwise. I like to make kits, precuts, and samples and Rain Retail does all of the math for me. I also LOVE my new website and I did not think I would have a fully functioning and seamless online storefront within 6 months of opening my retail location. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cloud-based system with website and integrations such as Quickbooks make it easy to set up and start managing customers, loyalty, POs, calendar events. Also allows for email marketing which is a bonus not having to purchase from another vendor Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Rain Retail? Lacks some of the functionality that would allow the software to be used for restaurants. Also, as other reviews mention it lacks functionality around commission management and some of the employee management tools Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Rain Retail: For a simple POS system to help track sales, returns, inventory, ordering and loyalty it is a good solution. However, it is focused primarily on retail (not restaurants) and lacks a bit of functionality around commission management Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Rain Retail solving and how is that benefiting you? Does a good job of managing customer loyalty, gift cards and providing simple email marketing abilities. Not using it for the inventory management capabilities Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Show More Validated ReviewerIncentivizedSource: G2 invite MS Manav S. Zoom Meeting Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 3/13/2019 "Good to increase online sale" 4/5 What do you like best about Rain Retail? Software held to improve efficiency of inventory system. Up to date inventory count. Easy interface. It has bar code scanner as well. Many additional features like gift card management, discount management, electronic signature return management.

Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 4/17/2018 "Still adding features but still way ahead of our previuos platforms " 5/5 What do you like best about Rain Retail? Integration - at a level that small businesses, like interdependent music stores, would not be able to achieve without RAIN. I call it the "I should be in there" effect. When you ask a customer their name or phone number, and they say they've been here before - except that was a rental account, not a repair, or a sale, or a rent to own,or a lesson account, or a website purchase, layaway.... With RAIN all of those truly use one customer database! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Rain Retail? As of now, mid 2018, there are some missing enhancements I would like to see. One example would be that layaway sold items are not reduced from your inventory until paid in full and picked up - a very addressable issue. You might refer to it as a very "1st world problem." Another missing ability is transferring serialized inventory pieces. Serials transfer but you are not prompted to select which serials of that item you are sending to the selected location. They have stated plans to add this ability eventually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Rain Retail solving and how is that benefiting you? A primary concern for our business was tracking inventory levels at our two locations instead of constantly making voice calls while trying to help a customer or creating a reorder list. RAIN provides you with a web store website that we find draws our local customers much better than a typical small business infosite website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cloud based point of sale allows for so much flexibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Rain Retail? Still features that are needed or are broken and need to be fixed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Rain Retail solving and how is that benefiting you? We had major problems using a server and client setup. If the server had issues, all of our locations would be down.

Even when they are busy and I have to leave a message, they get back to me that same day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Rain Retail?

What do you dislike about Rain Retail? Poor customer service, owner of the company told me I was being difficult. This was after they missed the go live deadline for 5 months. Of course I was being difficult it's now been 4 times longer than you told me to finish this project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
