Merchandiser Museums and Institutions ### "Futura is an effective Retail system for us as a Museum Retailer" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 7/10 August 6, 2021 Overall Futura is a good system and one I would recommend especially to small to medium sized businesses as there is a very good level of support available to help you find solutions for any problems or learn how to use particular functionalities Pros Once you learn how to use it Futura is very easy to use and is an extremely reliable and stable system, the customer support available is also very good and I can always speak directly to someone who is able to help with any problems or queries Cons The weakest part of Futura in my experience is reporting as it only really allows for very basic best seller, or total sales type reports to be run or otherwise full data dumps for a period of time. We have been able to setup the reporting we need off the back of these data dumps through some clever excel spreadsheets to give dashboards of performance but it would be helpful if Futura was able to produce more of these itself Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

CFO Retail ### "Futura ERP" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 May 19, 2021 Very good, backed up with excellent customer service and support Pros Very stable & reliable platform with little or no downtime. Easy & quick to implement with good stock and order management functionality. Has coped well with many different types of distribution channels, globe trade, also manages high volume of transactions. For example a new database was set-up and operational in one day. Cons The area which can be improved are reporting, although this may be due to our bespoke set-up.

BP Ben P. Managing Director Retail ### "Used for over 20 years..." 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 April 22, 2021 It's been consistent, reliable and I've chosen it again for different companies over the last 20+ years. Above all else, we value the incredible consistency of staff within Futura which means that they can be trusted to know what they are talking about and trusted to solve any issues that come up. We've never been made to feel like a small or unimportant client. Pros It's a well integrated solution that covers our EPOS and back office functionality and is simple to use, even without an in-house IT staff Cons There are some small niggles over functionality where different programmers do things in different ways between modules - but these are overcome with practice Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Head of Marketing and Ecommerce Retail ### "Futura Review " 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 April 22, 2021 Overall I would describe out engagement with Futura as very positive, and the duration of our partnership is testament to that. Pros Futura take a very hands-on approach, and have an excellent level of customer service. We have access to a wide team with a range of specializations, and we have developed an excellent rapport over the last few years. Cons Like all IT integrations, development testing and deployment take time, but Futura manage expectations with regard to timelines and unexpected delays very well.

Response from Vendor April 26, 2021 Hello Maeve, Thank you for taking the time to leave this review, i will pass your comments on to the team. AT Adam T. Data Analyst Retail ### "Superb product and even better customer service" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 July 13, 2020 Our on boarding was on a tight schedule, this was no problem for Futura. Our discounts and offers are complicated, again no problem for Futura. Almost 1 year into our relationship and the level of service is as fantastic as it was at day 1. We are very happy. Pros Our favourite thing is the many ways that a task can be achieved. Then, in the rare case that the software doesn't have the answer the guys at Futura will go ahead and build it! It's almost as if they want you to come up with something they haven't considered so they can go ahead and improve the product even further. Cons Some of the built in reports can be formatted in a way that would probably be described as outdated. Saying that, there are loads of ways to get the data you need so it's not the end of the world. I've also heard that some retail managers like these built in reports as they can access them very quickly and without assistance. Switched from [RetailStore](https://www.capterra.com/p/178395/RetailStore/) Cybertill is a web based system so no internet means no till. Also meant that your internet connection dictated the speed of transactions. The way Cybertill dealt with discounts and offers would often break and require long winded workarounds. Customer Service while very accessible was slow to fix issues that they themselves would decide the importance on. Alternatives considered [Epos Now](https://www.capterra.com/p/152638/Epos-Now/) Reasons for choosing FuturaERS Another web based provider with initially cheap set-up that quickly gets very expensive. Also with very limited and restrictive reporting. Doubted the ability of their stock handling software which we needed to be very robust.

Licensing and Product Development Manager Retail ### "Excellent overall package" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 May 11, 2020 It has been excellent, the team know the software well and have been so helpful in providing training to me, especially as I had no experience of back office retail software before. Pros Futura's customer service has been amazing. It's offers very high level product descriptions and organisation. It produces a lot of data. They've helped with making the reporting easier, and supported this with training as well. Cons We worked together on finding a solution to some simpler reporting, as there was a lot of data and as a smaller organisation sometimes it was more efficient to just have a simple report. Reasons for choosing FuturaERS I did review other software offers as part of an all systems review, and still found that Futura offered the most customisation, resilience and control than other software offers. I decided that Futura still offered the best overall service.

Pros Reliable, Extensive Reporting, Easy to use, Detailed. When you invest in Retail Software it's not just about it's functionality, it's a partnership with the providers and their ability to support and develop software further.

In addition, this integration is able to work on a real-time basis preventing the duplication of original art sales online and in-store. The support service is excellent. Pros The product is quite straightforward to use. I particularly like the Statistics tools which allows me to easily see the daily sales which can be broken down by til and branch.

The ability to select what and how you access the information is very valuable. The variety of ways you can promote and control by store and time line. Live updates on sales is a great positive The stock replenishment system is fantastic with a great level of sophistication that we still don't fully utilise after 11 years of using it. Cons Not a lot but would like a cost effective way to scan goods in. The ability to report historically in product statistics when you have just added an attribute.
