Relationship Science (RelSci) Reviews & Product Details

I love how Relationship Science (RelSci) simplifies and streamlines building and managing key professional connections tailored to our sustainable fashion brand’s needs in the DACH region. The database is incredibly comprehensive and accurate, making it easy to quickly identify and connect with relevant stakeholders. It saves us hours of manual research, connecting us with the right people, like ethical material suppliers, industry editors focused on sustainable fashion, or potential B2B partners who align with our brand values. The relationship tracking feature is also intuitive and user-friendly, letting us log interactions, set follow-up reminders, and keep tabs on all our connections, ensuring we never miss an opportunity to nurture those relationships. RelSci keeps our network organized and actionable. Additionally, it’s one of the most user-friendly setup processes I’ve experienced for a B2B relationship management tool—streamlined and intuitive.

First, the database, while comprehensive, lacks more granular filtering for fashion-specific contacts. For example, we often need to find suppliers or editors who specialize in sustainable fashion, but the current filtering options don’t let us narrow down contacts by niche focus—like “ethical textile suppliers” or “sustainable fashion editors.” This means we sometimes have to sift through irrelevant contacts, adding extra time to our workflow. Second, the export and sharing features are limited for visual-focused work. As a brand that relies heavily on visual content, we often need to share contact details or relationship notes with our design team. Right now, exporting contact information or interaction logs is clunky—we can’t easily export data in a format that integrates with our design tools or project management software, forcing us to manually copy/paste details, which risks errors and wastes time.

Data privacy, cost , complexities are few dislikes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I found the information on companies and staff helpful in prospecting. I wasted a lot of time calling the wrong people in the past without researching first. Relationship Science helped me take a little time to learn about a company before I started the process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I sometimes found it hard to navigate to find the content I needed. Pages are not so intuitive, but I have found this problem with most software. Maybe my brain doesn't think in the same order as other people's. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the media alerts that can be set up on RelSci helpful. They are easy to set up, and come into your inbox in a clear legible way. The relationship mapping feature is great but I find this info isn't always available (particularly for Canadian prospects) and that it can be available through more holistic research database platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Working in Canada I find there can be a lack of information on names I search. In an instance where I requested a record be updated, it took almost 4 weeks and was missing a great deal of information that I had uncovered during my own research in the meantime. In any case, RelSci can still be a valuable place for leads, particularly with well-known US-based individuals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not very familiar with RelSci if I'm being honest, but we no longer use it because the information was unreliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Skewed information that was not accurate a large portion of the time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The headline feature is that it can show you who in your network knows the people you're trying to reach. This can give you great ideas on how to reach new donors. It also, depending on the profile, can show a comprehensive proile. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's not a science, ironically. For example, it'll tell you two people are strongly connected because they're both on the board of a major NYC hospital, when that hospital has hundreds of board members, so they don't actually know each other. Also, some people barely have anything in their profile. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use, good visual representation of relationship paths and useful relationship information, often also contains useful biographical information and news articles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the information on boards and committees isn't quite current. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

RelSci is very user friendly and easy to navigate. My favorite feature is the Power Search - it's a super easy way to pull prospects into one list. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The information is not always up to date and I spend a fair amount of time sending corrections into the research support staff. That being said, they are always very on top of updating profiles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
