Above and Beyond!
As I said, the employees have gone above and beyond to make sure our transition was as easy as possible while still keeping business running as usual.
Pros
The training staff, Quinn in particular, have gone above and beyond when it comes to getting us ready for the transition into a new system. He has gone over things more than once when they werent clear, as well as spending extra time to make sure things during the transition, everything was set up promptly and correctly.
Cons
I feel like the back office could be set up a little better and clearer when it comes to the different applications.

Cumulus Review
Pros
POS functionality and ease of use once one get familiar with all its options. Searching and drilling down for specific items, brands, etc is very helpful. Reporting is extensive if you get the report design package. Staff extremely knowledgeable and helpful down the line: sales, implementation, and customer service.
Cons
Just getting familiar with program. I don't have any cons.

Cumulus/Celerant Review
Overall, when the system runs smoothly, it is easy easy to navigate and helps us keep track of our inventory more efficiently and creates a faster checkout process for our customers.
Pros
How easy it was to learn to navigate the back office and POS.
Cons
It freezes up and kicks users out at random, causing the user to have to clear the cache, and log back in. All work is lost when that happens. Which can be time consuming if it happens repeatedly.
Response from Celerant Technology
Thanks for your review and feedback! It refreshing to see how easy it was for you to learn and navigate. I'll also share your feedback on your system freezing with our support team; that should not be happening and we will get it addressed.

Smoke and mirrors sales with ghost town support
Every time you contact customer support its always something cant be done. The entire product is a series of work arounds. Nothing is fluid or easy. The search functionality is beyond broken. I was led to believe that all my old sales data and information from my old system would be ported over no problem, later find out nope cant port sales data. After importing serialized products we realized that many of them were imported with there own individual part number. when I have 5 of an item with 5 serial numbers I now have 5 separate items with 5 separate part numbers. During implementation i was told i could not have my old POS and the new POS installed at the same time. Took weeks to get them to do it and thank god we did. the search function is so horrendous that I have to search for the product in my old system then use the part number or UPC to find it in the new system. the POS sales screen does work surprisingly well as long as you can scan a barcode. after hours product support is of no real help. don't get me wrong the people are always very nice but I don't care about nice. I want results. We were sold on the ability to order directly from Celerant with many of our wholesalers. What we weren't told was that the ordering is only based off of whomever has the most in stock not the best price. This can and will break a business in todays marketplace. this is another instance of we don't care we wont change it.
Pros
The sales pitch was pretty good. easy to close out till and track cash. That's really about it though
Cons
its a toss up between the product and the lack of support.
