Then we upgraded to Stratus and found it to be a much more powerful platform. We should have started with Stratus initially but the price scared us. Pros It is a huge improvement over Celerant Cumulus and fills all of the needs we have in a multi store environment. Cons It is expensive but worth it. We don't really have too many cons. If we did we wouldn't be using it. Alternatives considered [Trident 1](https://www.capterra.com/p/214040/Trident-1/) Reason for choosing Stratus Enterprise Celerant is a larger and more established company with a bigger customer base and a deep support bench. Switched from [QuickBooks Desktop](https://www.capterra.com/p/212058/QuickBooks-Desktop-Pro/) QuickBooks PoS was not powerful enough to run our business. Celerant Stratus and QuickBooks are not in the same universe. Review Source Response from Celerant Technology October 17, 2025 Thanks so much for sharing your feedback! We are excited to see how the upgrade to Stratus Enterprise helps support your business. OR Olga R. Operations Manager Retail Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Excellent Platform" April 30, 2024 5.0 We moved to Celerant because their platform is very robust and cost-efficient. We have been using it for about seven months now and it's been great, especially because our \[sensitive content hidden\] is available for any questions at any time, he made the whole process painless and easy. I would recommend Celerant. Pros Extremely easy to use and cost-effective Cons The only thing I could say is there is rather long wait times for Tech Support. Reason for choosing Stratus Enterprise Features like Discount Levels, etc that the other platforms didn't offer Switched from [QuickBooks Desktop](https://www.capterra.com/p/212058/QuickBooks-Desktop-Pro/) They shut down their platform and had many problems with it Review Source Response from Celerant Technology June 19, 2024 Thanks for you feedback! We had many retailers convert to our point of sale from QuickBooks last year and even this year. We're pleased to be able to help you and your retail business! LM Liss M. Support Retail Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Frustrating Experience" December 26, 2023 1.0 Pros They have an amazing marketing team! They're great at promoting and selling hopes and dreams! Cons We launched Celerant 10 months ago, in February of 2023, and our experience has been nothing short of a nightmare. Despite the hefty setup cost and ongoing monthly expense, the system's promised efficiency remains elusive. One glaring issue lies in the abysmal data management within the system. Metrics suffer from an identity crisis, with different labels scattered across the system, causing confusion between barcode variations, product styles, and inventory classification. The inability to import our own sales data is a glaring deficiency. Our online store remains isolated from Celerant, necessitating their intervention for weekly imports. Contacting support has become a weary routine, required even for simple tasks like verifying imports. Their re-order tools are a comedy of errors! They pull incorrect items, fail to align with vendor specifications, and order incorrect amounts despite a clear directive to order to the maximum threshold. Celerant's blackout periods are a mystery, with no notifications or means to check their site for system outages. The most egregious offense, however, lies in the indifferent and lackadaisical attitude of the support team. Critical issues, such as sales syncing failures resulting in massive financial losses, were met with apathy. Customers faced double charges with an appalling "clear cookies daily" solution, while our staff grappled with continuous system logouts, dismissed as a non-issue for half a year. In conclusion, Celerant Point of Sale fails to justify its exorbitant costs and systematically sabotages the efficiency and profitability of retail operations. It's an expensive lesson in how a promising system can implode into an unmitigated disaster, leaving a trail of financial losses, operational chaos, and customer dissatisfaction.

We were promised a beautiful interface with a lot of functionality and integration.

Your feedback is important to us, and we're committed to improving our product and services based on it.

Owner Retail Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Long Overdue Upgrade" February 26, 2024 5.0 After years of worrying about making the move and upgrading our POS system, we finally decided to do it with Celerant Technology. So far, 2 moths in, we have had a much smoother transition than we could have imagined. We not only upgraded our POS for 6 stores, but we added a new, 7th store at the same time. \[sensitive content hidden\] was incredibly patient with our questions, and very thorough in his training. If he didn't have the answer, he would go and find it. Though there were glitches along the way, overall the task that was ahead of us was handled wonderfully be Celerant and the team that we worked with. Pros For us, we really appreciate the ability to be live in multiple locations all at once -- being able to see the sales and inventory movement all instantly is huge. We also like the fact that it can essentially be accessed from anywhere, on the appropriate machines, as long as you have an internet connection. Cons I think the thing we struggled with the most was having to build out reports that would fit our needs, but this is probably more on us as a company than the software itself. Switched from [RetailSTAR](https://www.capterra.com/p/212090/RetailSTARx/) We are growing in our number of locations, and we wanted more ease of use when it comes to that growth. Review Source Response from Celerant Technology February 28, 2024 Thank you so much for your detailed review and feedback! It's a big decision to switch retail software, especially for multiple stores, such as your business, and we are thrilled to hear that everything has been working out so well so far. We look forward to a long and successful partnership! JM Jaden M. Manager Retail Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Celerant Stratus" August 20, 2024 5.0 We recently changed over to Celerant Technology, and I must say, it was an outstanding experience! Our trainer, \[sensitive content hidden\], was nothing short of fantastic. His deep knowledge of the system and his ability to convey complex concepts in an easily understandable manner made the entire POS incredibly valuable. \[sensitive content hidden\] engaging teaching style kept us all attentive and involved, and his patience in answering our myriad of questions was truly commendable. It’s clear that he is not only a master of the technology but also a dedicated educator who genuinely cares about his trainees' success. Thanks to \[sensitive content hidden\] and Celerant Technology, we now feel confident and well-prepared to utilize the system to its fullest potential. Highly recommend this training program to anyone looking to switch POS systems with a top-notch instructor! Pros Everything Worked well with QB Online and the system is fully customizable, it works fantastic! Cons There wasn't anything we couldn't figure out, Everything works great! Review Source MH Melanie H. President and isner Recreational Facilities and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Weak, temperamental code" October 9, 2019 1.0 It was terrible from day one. It took tremendous investment of man hours on our end to load system and fix their errors. Pros It appeared to be easy to use. Promised to meet all our web page and pos needs in a “one stop shop”. In person salesmen seemed creative and responsive. Cons It has created tremendous loss of income for my new company by randomly dropping customers from the member list, failing to bill them, creating unknown errors and failing to report problems accurately on reports. Alternatives considered [AXIS POS](https://www.capterra.com/p/181118/AXIS-Gun-Store-POS-and-Range/) Reason for choosing Stratus Enterprise See above. Run run run from this company. We have called recently the customers initially provided to us as references. 2/3 have left or are leaving. Review Source Response from Celerant Technology February 9, 2024 We're sorry to hear about your negative experience with our company. Your feedback is important, and we're committed to improving our services based on it. We wish you all the best. HS Hunter S. COO Sporting Goods Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Review for Celerant Technology by Simmons Sporting Goods" June 17, 2024 5.0 We have had an outstanding experience with Celerant Technology, specifically with our implementation manager \[sensitive content hidden\]. Simmons Sporting Goods operates in the competitive space of firearms, hardgoods, and clothing retail, where precise inventory management and efficient POS systems are essential. Celerant Technology, specifically their Stratus Enterprise system, has proven to be an invaluable partner, offering a robust solution that not only meets but exceeds our expectations. From the initial consultation to the full implementation of the Celerant Stratus Enterprise system, \[sensitive content hidden\] expertise and dedication were instrumental. His deep understanding of our industry's unique challenges ensured that the system was tailored precisely to our needs. \[sensitive content hidden\] approach was not only professional but also personable, making the training sessions comprehensive and engaging for our team. His responsiveness and patience throughout the training and implementation phases were particularly commendable, ensuring a smooth transition and minimizing any disruption to our daily operations. The impact of the Celerant Stratus Enterprise system on our business has been profound. We have significantly enhanced our ability to manage inventory effectively, track sales data in real-time, and streamline our overall operational processes. The system's user-friendly interface has empowered our staff to work more efficiently, allowing them to focus more on providing exceptional customer service rather than grappling with technical issues. In addition to the system's functionality, the ongoing support from \[sensitive content hidden\] and the Celerant team has been exceptional. Any queries or minor issues that have arisen post-implementation have been promptly addressed, reaffirming our confidence in their commitment to customer satisfaction. We highly recommend Celerant Technology's Stratus Enterprise system to any firearms dealer, hardgoods retailer, or clothing retailer seeking a reliable and advanced inventory management and POS solution. The combination of their cutting-edge technology and outstanding customer service, exemplified by \[sensitive content hidden\], has undoubtedly contributed to our continued success. Pros Robust reporting that allows you to get a indepth view of your business. The POS terminal is easy to use so time training new employees is minimal. The ablility to mass update your data is a huge time saver. Cons Certain types of reports cant pull all of the data you need. Ex. Inventory reports can not pull data from Mechandise sold ect. Building and updating promotions and markdowns are brand or department based. Doing single or multiple items can be done but has to be done by upload. Review Source Response from Celerant Technology June 21, 2024 Thank you for taking the time to post such a detailed review, Hunter! It was a pleasure meeting you in person a few weeks ago at our annual client conference. We value our partnership and look forward to the many new projects we will be working on together in the coming months. We'll see you in August on our trip to your shop in Louisiana! TL Thomson L. Director of IT Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Stratus Enterprise is a great POS solution for my agency" June 12, 2024 5.0 Recently changed over to the Stratus Enterprise platform (by Celerant). Excellent pricing and the implementation process is straight forward. Able to meet my needs. Our implementation manger Tandy is extremely helpful and is always available to answer my call. Well satisfied with the product. Pros Ease of setup. simple interface, easy to manage. Pricing is very competitive Cons System design limitations. Uses java (java runtime). Web based solution Review Source Response from Celerant Technology June 19, 2024 Thanks so much for the feedback. Looking forward to a long partnership with you and your entire Goodwill team! Haley F. Project Manager Sporting Goods Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Average Retail POS Resource" October 10, 2017 3.0 I have learned what our company actually needs in a program to successfully provide usable information. Pros Although, I don't feel that this was the best option available, this particular program was sufficient for what we need. The one thing that I like most about this software is that each update keeps the basics of the program similar. There are no drastic changes between versions, which can be sometimes hard to find. Cons This software was very hard to first understand even with sufficient training. Once we learned it's "quirks" and how it functioned, we were able to make it work for what we need. For the money though, I feel that it was very outdated and had a very "low-budget" feel to it. It did not allow the consumer to customize the program to the extent that I would have liked. For example, in order to create price ticket templates, we had to have someone there create and install the template for us. Also for the add-on app, we had to send our iPods to them so that the app could be installed. With that said, there were a lot of things that we had to work around to make it produce the results that we wanted. It also doesn't produce as accurate of reports as we needed. In order to successfully run a business, you need to be able to rely on the program's report functions to provide accurate information. This program required extra formatting and calculations in order to produce the reports in a manner that provided the information that we needed. Lastly, I don't feel that the tech support had the appropriate knowledge of the product. There were many times that they had to spend weeks and even months working on issues for us.

Owner Sporting Goods Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Overpriced | Horrible Support | Lots of Bugs" December 5, 2017 1.0 We had the system for almost 3 years from 2014-2017. As a small 3-6 employee store I would not recommend this at all. Even for larger stores I think there has to be better options. I thought going in that it would make my life easy but I was proven wrong. We had open support tickets day one and I don't know if I can honestly say we went a day without having at least one open ticket until the day I moved away from the system and just took the loss as the largest learning experience I have had in 5 years of being in business. At the time it appeared to be the only real option for my needs. The only reason I was able to even afford it was due to them allowing me to make payments. I wish they wouldn't have offered me that option. With them still owing me a module for the website and another for a mod I had to prepay for to get the pricing I did, I walked away and took the loss. When fighting with them for it I just gave up, made the move to a much smaller system that didn't have all the "features" and I have not been happier. If you can't afford for their support look elsewhere. Don't bother trying to contact higher management to try to get things resolved. It won't happen! I couldn't even get the CEO to return an email with a very detailed info. Their contract is very one sided so a lawsuit for non performance wasn't even possible. The list could just go on and on. Pros Great Sales Team, Lots of features for a VERY large company. Streamlines operations between the website, the POS system and inventory. Inter-store transfers, Integrated A&D Book Cons Everything is an add-on, Lots of bugs, tech support reps as a whole are very inexperienced with actually fixing the issues presented. Complex issues could take months. It is a very overpriced system. Extreme expensive support that is basically mandatory due to all the problems you will have. Adding stuff to their website is very time consuming with lots of steps. Review Source Response from Celerant Technology February 9, 2024 Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're truly sorry to hear about your negative experience with our system. Your feedback is important, and we're committed to improving our services based on it. JN John N. COO Sporting Goods Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "The software does it all." November 8, 2016 5.0 The name Celerant Command Retail POS Software does not do the software justice. It is much more than POS software. Celerant’s software covers from website integration to accounting integration and everything in between. Use as many or as few of the features as you like. Pros This software brings all facets of your business together in one spot. All users are seeing the same interface allowing for easy training and transition between duties. Cons Since this is an all inclusive software, new users can become easily overwhelmed. Keep them focused on a section or two at a time. Review Source AS Aja S. Manager Wholesale Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "I worked with this product for 1 year with Teavana in the retail store" July 9, 2015 3.5 Pros It was simple and easy to use - very self explanatory. Cons Sometimes the program would crash when trying to pull reports and wasn't multifunctional while performing transactions. It didn't have the capability to "think" (pull reports) and perform (conduct transactions) at the same time. Review Source NR Nick R. Director of Technology Sporting Goods Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Top SMB Retail Software" November 22, 2017 5.0 We’ve been a customer for about 6 years with Celerant, we converted in 2010….I would definitely recommend it. The POS has made training employees a lot easier with it being touchscreen. It’s a very intuitive system. So I definitely recommend it to any retailer. When Celerant bought SportzPak and redesigned the entire platform, it was a welcome change. We were getting to the point where many of our younger employees had never seen a text-based operating system before, so upgrading to Windows and especially an interface with touchscreen controls made it much easier to train new staff members. We set up several remote stores per year. Sometimes that can be as simple as going out to the parking lot for one of our tent sales or running all over town to events where sports enthusiasts are likely to be hanging out. Being where our customers are is a big part of our business, and mobile POS lets us swipe credit cards and manage inventory in real-time, the same way we would process inside a physical store.” We implemented EMV in our stores, so it was good to get a clear, face-to-face understanding of payment security overall. For such a complex and crucial part of business, it’s good to have a partner like Celerant who can help simplify the process to get our operation as secure as possible.” The amount of time we have saved using best store fulfillment is immeasurable. We used to have to manually process each incoming order, figure out the optimal store to fulfill that order, and then email that store. Pros \- Touchscreen interface for POS - EMV capabilities - Android Pay, Apple Pay, Samsung Pay capabilities - Best Store Fulfillment - Remote sales capabilities - Continued innovation Cons \- Dealing with new techs on issues can sometimes be challenging - Typical issues, as with any software system, when dealing with upgrades/updates Review Source LJ Lisa J. Owner Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Worst decision I ever made" October 20, 2021 5.0 Wish I never did this . I have spent so much I’m married to them. Customer support is expensive amd doesn’t get the issues resolved. Mostly band aids assuming it gets fixed. Pros When I first saw the system I loved how I could access it remotely. It was supposed to work even when our internet went down but that has rarely been the case. The flow is nice assuming it worked the way it should. Cons I have open tickets all the time. Customer support is a joke. I have had a ticket open that one store cannot access ANY REPORTS FOR 4 weeks now. They will get it fixed amd then 4 days later it goes down again. I have serial numbers that have magically disappeared and have to call them to put back in the A&D book. Reason for choosing Stratus Enterprise Financing and looked like a great product Review Source Response from Celerant Technology February 9, 2024 We're sorry to hear about your negative experience with our system. Your feedback is crucial to us, and we're committed to improving our services based on it. Our Client Services team is here to help and can escalate your situation to help get proper resolution. MT Mitch T. Owner Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Stratus Retail helps us manage our range and much more! " May 22, 2017 5.0 Pros Stratus Retail has helped us manage our POS, Firearms Records (A&D), and all 23 lanes we have at SafeSide Tactical in a single software. At first we thought the size of our range and our planned growth might be a challenge for our technology provider. When we met Celerant we could see that Stratus is scalable and the team at Celerant can work with us every step of the way. We use Stratus for all aspects of our range and store operations from range reservations to Gift Cards to POS with EMV. One of our favorite features is our vendor integration with our distributor, AcuSport, and the fact that we can leverage auto-ordering based on Min/Max quantities that fit our multiple locations. With this feature, we’ve been able to eliminate 5-10 hours of manual counting/ordering each week and can keep the products on hand that our customers are shopping for. We are very happy with the software and our relationship with Celerant- and would recommend the system to any dealer." Cons Celerant's retail software is very intricate and at times it can be confusing, however Celerant's customer service is there anytime we get overwhelmed or are unsure how to do something. Review Source CW Craig W. Manager - e-Commerce and Digital Marketing Apparel & Fashion Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Powerful software for all aspects of retail" November 30, 2017 5.0 We also use the tools in the marketing automation module to segment customers based on their shopping behaviors, and develop emails that are mobile friendly. This is vital since 70 percent of the emails that we send are opened on mobile devices. By sending email communications that are tailored to known customer preferences, we boosted our email open rate from 8 percent to over 25 percent. Pros We're able to operate our brick and mortar, e-commerce and marketplace stores all with this software. We operate two different retail locations that are only a few miles apart but carry inventory that varies from one another. We actually see many differences in which styles are more popular in either store. This gives us scalability as we continue to grow locations and understand the needs of our customers. We're also managing a fast growing E-Commerce segment, so having full visibility into what items are selling gives our buyers the information they need to know regarding what to order and where it should best be carried. This integration also updates our Amazon store with both stores inventory availability so it knows that we are able to fulfill any order it processes. Again, this allows for scalability at the channel level. Cons There is a bit of a learning curve because it offers a wide menu of capabilities and reporting. I'd start learning only the things that are most vital, and worry about the rest later. Review Source GG Gordon G. co-owner Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Geigers Stratus review" June 28, 2022 4.0 Pros the customization of the pos screen is great. super easy to navigate and change if need be. Cons we're still trying to evolve to 100% stratus including ecommerce. Review Source Response from Celerant Technology February 9, 2024 Thanks so much for the review, Gordon! We sincerely appreciate our partnership since 2011. RB Rebecca B. Vice President Apparel & Fashion Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Time saver" November 30, 2017 4.0 By converting to Celerant in 2010, we have successfully revamped the way we operate our 44 store locations, from streamlining our point of sale process to automated fulfillment in our stores – we are able to provide a more personalized experience to our shoppers. Our enterprise-wide visibility of data is amazingly helpful. We can instantly see results from any store, any time. Possibly the biggest testament to the effectiveness of the custom platform Celerant created for us is that since installing it, we have added 5 locations and haven’t had to add any additional staff to out accounting department. Pros Provides us with company wide information very quickly, and customers are available across the platform to all of our stores. Security and lockout features are very solid. Cons Some features are bundled with others and we continue to use a few workarounds. Credit Card processing inside the system can be tricky. Review Source Response from Celerant Technology February 9, 2024 Awesome review and thank you for sharing! Can't get better than that! AQ Anthony Q. President Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Handles stores, sites, mail order, amazon, wholesale and more." September 25, 2016 5.0 Pros There are not many combined POS and web platforms that can truly do both well. Celerant does exactly that. We searched high and low before finding Celerant, so I know most of the other options out there, and they did not fit our needs. We wanted POS registers that were able to run locally in the event of internet outage, but otherwise were essentially real time. We needed a great web platform, a mail order web interface, and a very robust amazon integration. We have that and our business has flourished over the past 7 years because we've been able to focus on our core business rather than technical issues. Cons Any time that you have a large POS platform that handles all aspects of your business (we use QB for accounting, though) plus integrates with a custom web platform, you are going to have complexities that can take awhile to figure out. So I would say that you need to allow enough time and testing to get things working perfectly. But then again, if it weren't complex in this way, it wouldn't cover all of our needs. So it is the flipside of having a system that handles all of our channels and the enormous growth that we've had over the past 7 years that we've been using Celerant. Review Source JC JR C. CEO Recreational Facilities and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "OVer promised, under delivered" January 31, 2020 1.0 We are solving no problems with Celerant. Our business is in worse shape now than before the switch. Pros The features, if they worked, sound great. The actual service support people really try hard to help. But the platform is fundamentally flawed. It's as though every "fix" is a beta test. Cons After 15 months, we still cannot get the system to work and the developers / support don't speak with each other so we get stuck in the middle. It is costing us thousands each month but as long as Celerant gets paid, management doesn't really care. Reason for choosing Stratus Enterprise We chose Celerant because of the supposed integration with POS and e-commerce. It is a nightmare. Review Source Response from Celerant Technology February 9, 2024 We're sorry to hear about your negative experience with our company and system. We wish you the best and hope that your next system was a better fit for your business. JH Jack H. Manager Sporting Goods Used the software for: 2+ years ### "All-in-One Company for Different Parts of your Business" September 26, 2016 5.0 Pros Celerant is a great all-in-one POS and web system. Our end-users range from inventory managers, processors, and sales clerks to content writers, buyers, and demo racket specialists. Celerant provides amazing multi-channel capabilities for less than other companies with similar software. The integration with Amazon and Channel Advisor set Celerant above the rest for us. The real time inventory updates from both our in store and web purchases is a giant positive as large volumes of sales are processed throughout the day. A great feature Celerant provides is our Local POS Servers so that our store cash registers never go down. Celerant has provided us robust features customized to fit our particular needs to increase our business and meet consumer demands and wishes. We experience fast page loads which is important when we are trying to get items up in a timely manner. Cons We would prefer to have more than one person in Tech support to assist our company. Our company uses most aspects of the software so it would be more helpful to have a few people in tech support that really knew our business. This would help in solving issues in a more timely manner. Review Source JB James B. IT/Store Manager Retail Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Retail Solution for both mom and pop retailers and larger retailers" May 22, 2017 5.0 Pros We are a fairly new client with Celerant and with every new integration there are going to be bumps and bruises, but Celerant’s team has been there every step of the way. If ever we have an issue, concern or question Celerant is there to help us through it. Stratus is a retail software for both smaller mom and pop retailers and larger retailers as it combines power and ease of use. Training our employees was very easy, while we will soon have the ability to perform essential range functions from mobile devices and tablets. Stratus Retail has streamlined our organization allowing us to become more efficient, accurate, and cost-effective. Cons Since, we are a fairly new client with Celerant there have been some growing pains, but nothing you wouldn't expect from implementing a new system. Celerant's staff has been extremely helpful working through those issues. Review Source TN Tony N. General Manager Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Exceptional software that is fully integrated with how our two stores conduct business while helping us maintain a omni channel retail presence." November 22, 2017 5.0 To anyone thinking of purchasing this, it is a amazing piece of software. It is complex, but it needs to be in order to handle the load a multi store operation with a fully integrated web site places on it. It really has changed how we do business for the better. By branching out online with both stores on the same website we experience more consistent sales volume each day. It is fun coming in to the store in the morning and opening up my email to see how many sales we have made while I slept. Pros My favorite feature is inter-store transfers. It is so simple to move products from one location to the other. What used to consume several hours per week for us now only takes up 30 minutes. Cons I do wish there were a few less steps in placing a item on the website and making sure it is properly mapped for drop shipping. Review Source JC Jose C. Vice President Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Celerant Technology----Command Retail" July 8, 2015 4.0 Pros Command Retail is an innovative all in one system. Besides the point that it works as intended it is a relief to no longer have to work with API's to your ecommerce or Open To Buy or Accounting package. It is all in one place, using on DB. I'm lucky to have used the product AND have worked for the vendor ( Customer Satisfaction ), the vendor is responsive and understanding, they know they do not have all the features that others may have, but they know the ones they have work. Cons With the flexibility of customizing the software for different verticals, it may take some time to get a stable release due to the fact that so many of their customers have taken the package and made it theirs. This is a blessing and a curse, but a good one either way since you can choose what you want this package to do without re-inventing the wheel. Review Source DD Don D. President Telecommunications Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Better service would make it truly great" October 4, 2016 4.0 Customer service is a nightmare. They don't have enough support people that really know what's up. Features that you think come with the deal are added on and billed a la cart. Make sure you really get it in writing before you pay. The best people at Celerant used to be at CAM commerce solutions. That said the product is really good very complete software and works. Hopefully, someday Microsoft will buy them and the service issues will go away. They treat customers like adversaries. Pros Software is great Cons The service and post install add-ons that you thought were part of the original deal are really frustrating. Not so much in cost as install delays.
