The customer service team have shown no care for what occurred to our business and haven't called the allocated times we have arranged. There is no way to call anyone direct. They claim they have done what their contract has specified despite us having an unusable system and blame it on the integrator app they recommended. They have shown no care at the destruction this has caused to our business. Despite the system being unoperational and never used they continue to take their monthly fee. Pros Nothing positive to report. We do not recommend. Cons Retail express made lots of promises. During the onboarding they recommended using a third party integrator app to allow us to have 3 variants. This app did an unauthorised upload that basically destroyed our website and deleted a significant number of our variants. They didnt help in any shape or form to rectify the issue which we are still recovering from/ Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Director Retail ### "Customer service is horrendous" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 1.0 1.0 Likelihood to Recommend 2/10 May 28, 2024 Pros It allows you to display images of products and you can add upsell products to the POS screen. Cons Too many clicks to go through a sale but far more than anything else the customer service is horrendous. We have had an issue with our two outlets generating wildly incorrect inventory stock value figures. It has been looked at by a support rep from Maropost for months now and despite continually being told the developers will look at it soon, we still have no result. This means we do not know what stock value we hold in our retail stores. Reasons for choosing Retail Express Because it was purchased by Maropost, who we use for our ecommerce store. Terrible mistake. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Retail Express customer support refered us to some outdated videos to try to learn. I ended up paying a 3rd party person to come to teach me how to use it. Pros Easy to teach new staff the POS. It looked like it would do the job Cons It is terrible at everything thats not POS Even stock managment is wrong. Switched from [MYOB Business](https://www.capterra.com/p/183867/MYOB-Business/) Myob was removing features and no longer served it purpose. I wanted stronger POS that was easy to teach new staff. Reasons for choosing Retail Express Had to choose one so went with retail express. The marketing team is alot better than the product designers Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Director Retail ### "Excellent product with great integration across Shopify and Xero" 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 September 15, 2021 We have found that the lead up to going Live and the learning process has been very well supported by the Implementation Team. The tutorials are extremely helpful and very comprehensive. The responses to our emails are always very informative and the telephone conferences with an Australian based expert is ideal. Pros Retail Express is easy to use and integrates well across our online platform and accounting software Cons It would be very helpful if the accounting utilised both Cash and Accrual, not just Accrual. Reasons for choosing Retail Express We decided to change to Retail Express because it offered us a range of solutions to our existing software 1. Integration with Xero 2. Integration with Shopify 3.

You definitely get what you pay for. Pros at first seems so overwhelming when you watch to see all that it can do and offer...however the training takes you through everything step by step at your own pace and allow you to reach out to discuss any any issues you may have. Cons At this stage we haven't gone live for me to comment on this part at this time...however at this stage all has been super helpful.

Director Retail ### "A Fantastic System for all Retailers, big and small" 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 June 8, 2020 From the initial Sales manager, to the Implementation Manager.... all staff were fantastic, enthusiastic and more than capable of handling any questions/issues I had. Pros The easy to use system means my staff picked it up quickly. The detailed Back of House reporting is a managers dream. Cons The only thing I've seen missing is an ability to sell an item via weight ($$/per kg), but it's minor. Our previous system never had this either so we're well placed to get around it. Would be great in the future.

The On-boarding Program for Training was Great and the Access to Resources Fantastic. The Implementation Manager and other Points of Contact were all great to deal with. Pros Modern Cloud based system that has all the Reporting Requirements needed but all the Functionality of a Modern System in a Age of Technology Advancement . It seems as though it has been designed for this Purpose not the " that's something we are going to develop in the Future attitude" that other Systems seem to have. Cons At this stage I believe it is still the Honeymoon Period so just " Training Training Training" to get the Most out what we can Do with Retail Express Reasons for choosing Retail Express Seems like Retail Express was the best option providing all the Power in Reporting and great Cloud based Functionality and Performance with a very sleek modern styling .

Updates are provided via overnight uploads done automatically with no downtime to your system. New update information is provided in detail via email. They respond well to customer suggestions and are constantly improving the system. Pros The implementation of this software is fantastic. A team of experts is available to help you transfer your database of stock, suppliers and customers with ease. Retail Express has a comprehensive knowledge database including video tutorials and instructions which all staff can access. The software is friendly, easy to use and navigate with email and internet integration. Cons Special customer orders are tricky to handle. We are yet to understand how to order/manage customer orders and are currently doing this through the lay by option which is difficult unless you have one staff member managing this are (IE: you can over order stock). Back orders are a little cumbersome but can be adapted to suit your business needs. Overall though the positives of this system outweigh the small negatives.
