What do you like best about LOU powered by Evosus?

I love that Lou understands the industry. All of the features make sense for the way we run our business. There are so many features that I know is going to help our business grow & be more efficient. I love that we don't need several software programs anymore. Everything can be done in Lou. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LOU powered by Evosus?

The accounting side takes a bit of getting used to. It's very different from what we used before. The quick visibility I'm used to from our previous software takes more digging in Lou to find. Also, the training & focus for accounting seems like an afterthought. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is LOU powered by Evosus solving and how is that benefiting you?

Lou is cutting down on our need for paper. We have better visibility on our service department. All employees have the ability to be more helpful in assisting customers by having access to as little or as much information as you want to allow. Lou is also helping us to better organize and keeping track of follow up work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LOU powered by Evosus?

The efficiency that LOU offers my team and me is great. We went from working on spreadsheets and multiple apps to now a small handful.

We also liked that they offered onsite consulting so our team could meet our Account Manager in person and help guide us through the software. So big thank you to Ashlea Goldfinch for coming to Texas and showing us LOU. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LOU powered by Evosus?

l dislike that it is missing a way to scan barcodes and it would be nice to be able to upload pictures when scanning barcodes. I think there needs to be more time for in-depth training before going live and after. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is LOU powered by Evosus solving and how is that benefiting you?

It solves the problem of having multiple software, and we can get support when we have an issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LOU powered by Evosus?

LOU is very easy to use. One of the best features of LOU is the kits, both static and dynamic. The kits can really save time on adding items to an invoice. The PAX station is also very useful as it cuts down on the time it takes to get customers in and out of the store when they are just purchasing small items. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LOU powered by Evosus?

LOU does not really support accounting and getting the information between the two systems can be a bit of a challenge. LOU also still has some minor bugs that need to be worked out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is LOU powered by Evosus solving and how is that benefiting you?

We switched to LOU because we needed a system to handle inventory. In the pool and spa industry, pools and spas do not get delivered to the customer on the day of purchase. Sales orders reserve inventory for customers, showing what is on hand, what is reserved, and what is available. We also sell pool packages, which kits make it really easy to add pool packages to a sales order without having to add 10+ individual items. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
