The Overall Experience has been great very easy to transition . 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

Customer service is horrendous

Reviewed on 28/05/2024

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.

Awful. 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/

A Fantastic System for all Retailers, big and small

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.

Reasons for Choosing Retail Express

MYOB was great..... in the 90's/early 00's. We needed a POS software program that was more up to date with the current technology we use. It's allowed us to have a second register again without much effort at all.

Reasons for Switching to Retail Express

1. Staff all have retail experience.2. Your [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] has extensive retail history.3. Easy to use program with heaps of features.

Excellent service, quick responses to queries, very helpful support. 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.
