It is a newer addition to the software package. > > We have experienced a significant amount of growth since we first started using Celerant in our store back in 2004. Since then, we've expanded to multiple locations. Celerant's staff has been there every step of the way to provide an exceptional level of service, creating a very strong partnership that has lasted for over ten years. Celerant's software has made it easy for us to manage our daily operational procedures, including the ability to produce granular reports for a range of attributes that can be received across our multiple locations. We look to the future of our partnership with Celerant to embark on new endeavors, including the development of an integrated E-Commerce site to further expand our business into a cross channel operation. ----- ### "Worst decision I ever made" — 5.0/5 > **Lisa** | *20 October 2021* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **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. > > 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. ----- ### "OVer promised, under delivered" — 1.0/5 > **JR** | *31 January 2020* | Recreational Facilities & Services | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **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. > > We are solving no problems with Celerant. Our business is in worse shape now than before the switch. ----- ### "Stratus Retail helps us manage our range and much more\!" — 5.0/5 > **Mitch** | *22 May 2017* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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. ----- ### "Powerful software for all aspects of retail" — 5.0/5 > **Craig** | *30 November 2017* | Apparel & Fashion | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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. > > 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. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/1049/celerant-command-retail?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/1049/celerant-command-retail) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
