I like that we can view our retail business as a whole in one system. We integrated our eCommerce platform with Springboard, which was a heavy tech lift, but it's now complete and working well.

There is quite a bit of detail information that I don't care for - reports that don't alphabetize, inability to customize receipts and price tickets by location without paying $150/hr, pick lists don't export to excel only PDF, when creating PO's...

It's a POS system and Web integrated!! Too many of my friends own fabric and wool shops and they have separate systems! So they have to go home every evening and update the web store to account for what was sold in the bricks and mortar shop! ...

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.
