Best CRM integration I've had
Very good but find the CRM but a little complicated for me. Quite costly for a small business.
Pros
The interlinking with unleashed is very good. It also integrates with Xero. The CRM we find is excellent and reporting is good. I haven't been using it for much more than 6 months so have not got my head round everything yet but mostly its reasonable to navigate.
Pipeline system is good and reminders per sales person in fine.
This is the first cloud base CRM system we've had and its excellent when on the road for sales to be able to look up info & sales on any customer and record sales visits info immediately.
Cons
Operating some of the setups is tricky like email footers which I thought was done but when emails sent from prospect I find its not as expected. You can't see exactly how its going to turn out when sending from prospect. I find its easier to send from outlook and copy prospect in.
Some things are not as straight forward to set up as you would like.
Training they give is very quick and hard to take in as quick as it comes.

Bad Customer Service
Absolutely terrible. Its such a shame becuase on the surface it promised so much and it really suited us as a small business, we cant justify spending $1000 per month on software for some of the super programs and we were so happy to find this but it just does not work and could not get help.
Pros
I liked the idea of what it represented but in reality nothing worked.
Cons
I liked the idea of what it represented but in reality we were unable to get any of the intergrations to work. All we managed to do was to import product but the intergrations would not import contacts, CRM or historical data. To make it worse we are in Australia and we were unable to get any support. It says average time is 15 minutes but it was impossible to get help. Took many hours to even get a response and was un workable. The customer service team really needs a kick up the pantsm they dont read the messages and then also respond with stupid messages like, once the data is uploaded you will love it, problem is 24 hours into uploading and nothing is working and they still say the same thing.

Probably the best CRM for trade distributors and wholesalers.
It has been a long project integrating with our Cin7 inventory system, testing and tweaking to get everything as needed. Prospectsoft have been super responsive throughout this journey and have accommodated all of our needs and enhancement requests where possible.
Pros
Designed for repeat business from customers rather than single projects. As a technology distributor selling to trade customers, this is critical.
Cons
Lack of ability to customise dashboards, but that is a very minor gripe.

Great CRM - Would recommend to any small or startup business wanting to analyse data.
Really good. The onboarding team, [sensitive content hidden] were great. This is our first time at using an in depth CRM such as Prospect and the team were great at showing us around. The support team, once onboard, are also great being really helpful with all the various questions we have.
Pros
Great analytics, fairly easy to use. Good layout.
Cons
Not a lot really. Was a bit daunting at first but this eased off as we got used to it.

Prospect Great Use for Manufacturing Company
Very well done and great experience, very glad we purchased the program.
Pros
Easy to understand and great tracking of customer, leads, orders, and opportunities. Love the dashboard.
Cons
When setting a task, because of the program being in UK, and if it is late afternoon then it sets a task that intended for 1 week or 7 days out to only 6 days.

The BEST CRM Software/
Pros
Prospect excels all of our needs, dreams and requirements. If you can't figure out how to do it, the brilliant support team certainly can. No issue is too much trouble. I can produce a report easily to show exactly what I need. Its chronological format make recording data so simple - excellent for when you're busy. The note section is an excellent asset, it makes working part of a team even easier.
Cons
I really struggle to fill out this box. I am yet to have a band experience with Prospect, it's simply great!

CRM System for Wholesale Businesses
Pros
Follow ups are very easy to set and its very easy to track customer spend. The automated customer profiling is brilliant as it flags up waning customers long before they may drop off completely so you are able to step in and prevent it in good time.
Cons
Previous customer orders are not displayed that clearly. Although all items are all in the list, unless you have the order date clearly shown it seems like they are all rolled into one.

A great all-rounder.
Pros
The interface is very user friendly.
A variety of built-in dashboards allow you to easily track, monitor and action opportunities/quotes giving us great oversight at any time of current sales and lead generation.
It integrates with software for producing quotations and marketing communications which are then visible within the CRM providing visibility for all staff members allowing us to provide the best service.
The team are super helpful and responsive to any queries we have and do all they can to find an appropriate solution.
Cons
No cons other than a few initial teething issues at the beginning which were quickly sorted out by the team at Prospectsoft.

Quick, easy, already made a big difference!
Much better intel on customer and ordering trends.
Much greater ease of tracking leads and lead management
Much easier pipelining and forecasting
Simple customer credit control snapshots available for sales staff, instead of referring to finance team.
Easy to set up. Winner.
Pros
API hookups to Unleashed & Xero make it so easy to use - live quoting with stock data means we're not quoting on stock we don't have. Customer RFM makes the sales team more efficient as they can target clients effectively to build on successes, or to rescue those who are having a hard time.
Cons
There is almost too much customisation possible... but it's easy to lock down the system, so it's not really a disadvantage.

Great CRM System
I have used many CRMs in previous companies and have to say this is one of the most efficient. This links to our Sage system really well so I can see all customer info within Prospect and don't have to go back and forward between systems which is really useful and saves so much time.
Pros
- Everything I need to know is under each customer
- Can see At A Glance my customers that need more attention
- Notifies me when a customer hasn't ordered (and probably should have by now)
- Easy reporting
Cons
There isn't anything so far that I can think of

ProspectSoft Review by Lisa Spatchurst
I find ProspectSoft extremely easy to use and would recommend the system to other people.
Pros
I have only used the system for a short period of time, but the features which I find really useful are being able to email clients directly from the system. Also, we are able to see at a last recent contact made to customers.
Cons
I haven't used the system long enough yet to be able to comment on any features that are missing. All features that I have used have worked really well.
