What do you like best about 42?

I have been working with 42Technologies solution for a few months now, and so far it has been great. The team is super friendly and definitely smooth implementation process. I use the tool weekly for international reports, and it is super friendly to use. As any point if I want to create new reports or bring up new idea, their customer support will help and guide me if necessary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 42?

Of course we are all so use to using Excel, that we want to this technologies to work almost in the same way. Some areas of the system might need improvement in this regard, but the team is actively working toward improvments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about 42?

42 technologies is a phenomenal product that has revolutionized how we do business commercials. What we like best is the team is so adaptable in evolving the product to meet the business needs, whether that's new product filters or merging a new data source. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 42?

Absolutely nothing to dislike. I'll struggle moving to another business that doesn't have a product as strong as this - it's really the new standard for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering 42:

Make sure you have your system landscape and reporting understood, so the team can support with your pinch-points and show you where the product can add real value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is 42 solving and how is that benefiting you?

42 allows us to see all our data in one place. No more merging huge spreadsheets of data in order to produce the most basic reports. The user interface is very accessible and it's saved our retail teams heaps of time in having self-service access to the information they need to make informed commercial decisions. The application itself is adaptive to mobile too, so it makes it even better at getting a top-level snapshot of how a particular unit, category, store or region is performing by the hour.

What problems is 42 solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Shopify as our ecommerce platform.
