What is a FastStart Consultation?
A FastStart Consultation is a fifteen-minute phone call, during which our experts guide you toward the right software for your business. You are probably already aware that there are hundreds of retail management software systems. Meanwhile, all the marketing sounds the same. Do you wish an expert would listen to your needs and tell you which system is right for your practice? That's what we do in our FastStart Consultations.
What is discussed on the call?
First, we need to listen to you to understand what you need from a new software system. We'll ask you about your business, your company size and what functional capabilities you need (e.g. point of sale, merchandising, accounting?). We'll listen to the challenges you are facing (e.g. inventory management, shrinkage). Once we know what you need, we'll talk you through a handful of systems that meet your needs. We'll tell you exactly which vendors to evaluate further.
How do you make your recommendations?
Basically, we've already done the exhaustive research you're about to do. Our experts are constantly researching the retail software market (yes, hundreds of companies). We catalog all of this information in one big, searchable database. Our experts use this database - and their own expertise - to help companies like you narrow down a "short list" of systems that meet your needs.
How can you afford to offer this for free?
Software Advice is paid by software vendors when we make a good match between buyer and seller. So we have an incentive to connect each business with the right software companies. Importantly, Software Advice is supported by hundreds of software vendors - established players, new start-ups and niche market specialists.
