### "Trade Show Trade Up"

January 17, 2024

5.0

Pros

Order entry versus prior provider is miles above in ease of use. System has performed reliably with zero show stopping issues. Customer training and support is top notch as well.

Cons

Some of the on-screen reporting can render too small to be usable without a download or too many zoom-in / zoom-out moves. Could improve search functions within reporting on platform as well.

### "Perenso Trade Show Review"

May 7, 2024

5.0

My overall experience with Perenso Trade Shows have been great and look forward to partnering with them on future shows.

Pros

What I enjoy most about Perenso Trade Shows are how easy there team is to work and all the extra work they put into our show to ensure that is successful.

Cons

What I like least about the Perenso Trade Shows is speed of the ipads. Not sure if this is due to WiFi Bandwidth of the venues or just the devices themselves at times.

January 12, 2015

3.0

We have been using Perenso for over 3 years. During this time we have seen the product evolve from the standard on premise solution to a sophisticated cloud based system that caters to complex business requirements. The iPad version released last year was a major leap Perenso and has greatly assisted us driving productivity an mobility within our field sales team. We are looking forward to using their cloud offering.

May 7, 2024

5.0

The overall experience with my Perenso team has been wonderful. Not only are they easy to work with and extremely helpful, they continue to adapt to our ever-growing business needs for our Trade Shows.

Pros

Perenso's customer service is amazing to work with. They respond quickly to issues and continue to adapt to our growing need for event management, ensuring that all users on all platforms are satisfied and their products are user-friendly.

Cons

The app has come a long way since creation. There are a few features that I am excited to add in to the app and hope to see possible in the next few years: Vendor-friendly app interface, chat function between sales rep and customer, interactive floor map. I look forward to see what the future has in store for our Perenso partnership.

February 14, 2024

4.0

I was very happy with the system and the ease of using it. Most of the customers I had attend the show went on to increase the orders they placed at the show because they could take their time and do it remotely.

Pros

Training was complete and very helpful. The sales team and out manufactures were able to quickly learn the system.

Cons

We did not import all of our sku's some of the manufactures could not add special orders at the show.

The Perenso team are exceptional. They are always willing to find a solution to any problem or request we may throw at them.

Pros

The ease and simplicity of placing orders, appts and viewing documents for the field team is a standout. The way the Perenso platform can adapt to our needs which can be quite intricate, is outstanding.

Cons

There may be a couple of minor faults within the admin system but nothing that impacts the daily use of the way our field team need to use it.

### "Perenso Trade Show 2023"

March 3, 2023

5.0

Perenso makes it easy for us to take orders at our tradeshow. We are also able to streamline negotiations within the show app, and keep track of those contributions with a wide array of reporting. We find the Perenso team to be extremely customer service focused, and they have the ability to customize the experience to the customer, listening to how we need to use it and adjusting to fit our existing business model. They clearly communicate the pros and cons to setting up the system in different ways, and keep our project on track from signing the initial contract, to the post-show wrap up. We are extremely pleased with the product and our experience working with Perenso.

Pros

The data integration is seamless and perenso provides templates for all the data we need. The support team is well versed in the system and can always answer questions on the spot. the software is very customizable, and is widely used within our industry so customers and vendors are comfortable using the software. We use it for complicated tiered and bracketed pricing structures, as well as added negotiations between vendors and retailers and they are able to understand and execute that data easily.

Cons

it would be great if the app could be used on personal phones etc as well as ipads. The vast majority of our retailers use their cell phones more than sit at a desk, so the more mobile friendly the better!

### "The Best in the Business"

November 10, 2022

5.0

Because of the Perenso system, our customers are able to attend our show and focus on building relationships, placing orders, and discovering new products with the technology working seamlessly in the background. Also, I can't say enough about the quality of the people at Perenso that support the software and work with us on site during our show. Again, they are the best in the business.

Pros

We've been using Perenso Trade Show to manage our annual show for many years. The software is versatile, feature rich, and very flexible. We routinely get positive comments from our salesmen, our customers (attendees), and our exhibitors. Maybe the best feature is that it simply works well without attracting too much attention.

Cons

As long-time users of the software, we've been able to tailor our systems to exchange data more efficiently with Perenso. We are also excited to use the new mobile app at our next show in 2023.

### "Easy to use solution"

January 14, 2013

4.0

Highly recommend Perenso and V8 for iPad. The initial discussions with their sales team made me feel comfortable that we were on the right track. We felt they spoke our language and understood the needs of an Over The Counter (OTC) Pharmaceutical company. Since going live the ongoing support we have been provided has been comprehensive and thorough.

Pros

Our current release provides our reps with an electronic interface with the wholesalers, as well as providing them IMS Data Sales History related to each account they are calling on. We will be launching Phase 2 at our upcoming sales conference, which will provide them with comprehensive workflows and daily task management. So far we have been very happy with Perenso V8 for iPad. It has provided our sales team with an easy to use stepping stone into the world of tablet CRM. This is something new to our company, so it had to be user friendly in order to gain maximum buy in from the sales team.

Cons

Based on the fact that our CRM roll out is in 2 stages, and that stage 2 is a more comprehensive release my only real con is that we have reduced functionality at present. In saying that, the functionality that we are expecting to roll out will suit the needs of our sales team perfectly.

Great team to work with!!! Very helpful assisting with vendor and customer questions. They are the brains!

Pros

the reporting features are great to look at, especially the overall attendance counts and their categories

Cons

Not a Perenso issue, but some users do not receive their log info because it goes to spam, but that is not a platform issue!

### "Easy to use and adminster Perenso"

January 9, 2015

5.0

We have a large product portfolio with a complexity of trading terms and deals, Perenso allows to control, maintain and adminster all of this in an environment away from our main system that does not provide the level of flexiability we require in our fast changing business. We have had some customized work done in the back end to suit our way of doing business and the team at Perenso have been able to do most things in a timely manner.

### "The Best Trade Show System We've Used!"

June 6, 2022

5.0

The technology is great. But the team is even better. Whether it is the development team, management team or on-site team, we receive a high level of customer service. Responses are almost immediate and if they cannot provide an immediate solution, they are very clear in what we should expect. I feel like we are a priority.

Pros

I am most impressed with the attention Perenso gives to our specific needs. They never answer our requests with "we can't do that". They figure it out and deliver solutions. The software is intuitive and flexible. Our industry is complicated and we need are required to provide solutions to significantly different customers.

Cons

Their greatest gap was that they did not offer a mobile application that the customer could access while attending our event. That is being rectified. We just tested the new mobile app at our most recent event. There is some room for growth but it was a great first step.

### "Perenso Overview "

September 25, 2023

5.0

It has been a pleasure to work with \[sensitive content hidden\] and the team over the last 4 years within my role. Perenso is one of the best ordering and field management systems we have worked with.

Pros

iPad user interface is excellent. Reliability of Perenso. Not many down times reported. Digital asset capability. Video / TVC capability. Multiple Deal structure flexibility. Order and sales history by Store.

Cons

Better Photo Galary required with more usable reporting outputs. More improvements required for True live Route Tracking using live traffic data. Survey question flexibility. Reporting output improvement required. Compliance reports with before and after photos by store and activity to demonstrate more accurate ROI. Back end Management runs very slow updating deals within the system.

### "Instantly Improves the Trade Show Experience."

September 22, 2023

5.0

Mutiple buyers can be on the sales floor, buying for several locations and all can be aware of the others purchases. This reduces duplications and missed orders and opportunities. The ease of use and the fact that all ordering and deal info is accesible to buyers remotely in my experience means even if there is less time available for pre show prep I can have an smooth and productive show. Show support is responsive both remotely and at the show.

Pros

Having the order portal at my fingertips both on the trade show floor and off improves my efficiency and effectiveness. The order portal instantly lets you know when you have reached deal thresholds - no more calculating separately or missing a deal because of not purchasing the right items in the right quantities. The ability to create orders and submit them in two separate steps is very helpful as it allows for review of the entire show order, comparisons across deals and edits before submitting. Having remote access allows for more time on the floor dedicated to learning about product and speaking with vendors. Multiple ways to search for product and deals allows me to work with my own priorities. Buying for mutiple locations is enhanced with options to place same orders for all, order by indiviudal location and move orders from one location to another. Being able to product P.O.s is very important to my purchasing method.

Cons

I would be helpful if at more steps along the way if total purchase dollar values were displayed.

### "Great CRM"

September 20, 2023

5.0

Pros

Simple, user friendly, intuitive, quick, efficient, safe, stage, reliable to use. The most suitable tailored customised CRM for pharmacy field sales channel. Reasonable cost comparing to other CRMs in the market, great value. Exceptional customer support! \[sensitive content hidden\] is our account manager, who is so very knowledgeable, professional, kind, always ready to help, providing training session, generating ideas, and so on. As administrator of CRM, I highly recommend Perenso. Also from the field teams feedback, users love it as well.

Cons

So far so good, just little things, nothing major, if the live report viewer can include some live dashboard function, or can build report freely, without analytic license, would be even better. The current report viewer is still great.

April 3, 2024

5.0

This is a very GREAT feature to have at a hardware show. It takes away the guess work of bad handwriting and guessing at what and item or price is. No papers to keep up with. It shows you exactly what was ordered and how much, total and what was previously order all in the palm of your hand.

Pros

The ease of application and portability.

Cons

having to share the iPad with other associates. I wish there was enough to go around for every person working the booth to be able to have their own to use.

### "Great Tool for Trade Show Ordering"

September 15, 2023

4.0

Overall we have had a really wonderful experience with Perenso. We had a relatively small to mid-level Annual Show where the ordering was being done on paper printouts via 300+ page booklets for each of the attendees. I had no interest in dealing with that so I searched around and found Perenso, they are one of a few companies that offer a full-service ordering system along with the equipment needed to run the system. If you are in a position of running an Annual Trade Show where on-site ordering data is going into another database - check them out and save yourself many headaches.

Pros

The entire service is managed by a team of Perenso staff so you really just have to worry about getting your data into the system. The equipment is shipped to the venue and managed by Perenso so you really have so much less to worry about. The staff is on-call at all times during your show to assist attendees and they have been a great resource for our Annual Show.

Cons

Some of the event-specific logistics are difficult to resolve as the client is in the middle-man position between the venue and Perenso.

April 3, 2023

5.0

Great. I have full confidence in \[sensitive content hidden\] and our Perenso team. They always do a wonderful job leading up to the show, as well as the day of the show. Things never go completely according to plan. But our Perenso team always has our backs.

Pros

The people behind it. It's a phenomenal product, but the team behind it really sets it apart. Perenso and her team are always a pleasure to work with. They do a fantastic job of helping us manage our timeline while also putting the best possible product in front of our customers.

Cons

There are still some areas to improve on the reporting side and the mobile app. It's improved year or year, but there is still room for improvement.

### "Great company to work with"

March 23, 2023

5.0

This company has been fantastic partner to me and my team. Communication is good, the product is good and any error/glitch is fixed swiftly.

Pros

The customer management is a feature we use quite frequently. It flows well and easy to understand at the Host level. We've also had great success with the Online Shows. Customizable booths, Chat function, tags for show specials and new products have played a significant part in in creased sales.

Cons

Specifically for the Virtual show, there is a learning curve. Most people expect it to behave like an Amazon store, where we use it slightly differently for a B2B application. Thankfully, after engaging with the platform once or twice 80% of people figure it out.
