Best software we could’ve ever asked for… we went with a different software for the first month of our company launch, and it almost ruined us. Direct scale came in and saved the day

It has every feature you need to run an MLM. I’m not a tech person, we don’t have an IT team, and this software is so simple, we don’t need an IT team. They’ve saved us so much money and stress.

Honestly - it’s perfect. I love everything about this platform.

Our company switched from Xirect to DirectScale in the tail-end of 2019, and since then we have had little to no customer service issues that have rooted problems in our back end. This has made our customers and Advocates able to work together better with less issues, and its also helped us run and implement more reports and features we didn't think would be possible. Overall our communication with DirectScale and with our clients has skyrocketed for the better thanks to our switch.

This software is overall extremely solid and valuable. At Engage Global, our team of Customer Service Reps are able to facilitate access to the back end of our Field Advocates accounts with ease and help them to run their business and check on the status of their customers and orders. The grouping of the sections and options to sort reports is EXTREMELY useful and helpful for audits at the end of the month, as well as for finding and fixing previous issues. Finding new features is fairly easy thanks to the interface as well. Since our company has implemented DirectScale we have had little to no technical issues on our backend which has improved our growth and sales drastically. DirectScale is definitely a key reason to why our company has been able to be as successful as it has it the last year I have worked here. Fantastic Software!

Quite honestly, there are very few cons, however, I do wish there was a more intuitive and straight forward way to make our coupons and promotional codes work on our company end, but not be available on our Field Advocates end. Also, there are times that the website itself has gone done for a couple of minutes during the day, but they were quick to respond to our emails and get the site running again.

I had a relatively short period of use with DirectScale. I was in IT for about 10 months and interacted with the system regularly during that time. The system worked well most of the time and most of the issues were handled by my superiors.

It is a relatively easy system to use and understand. With very limited IT experience, I was able to learn and navigate the system in a very short period of time.

Most of the issues we had were handled by my superiors, but there were a few things here and there that seemed like they should've worked differently. Kind of like the developers built it thinking that only other developers would be using it so the functionality wasn't always clear cut.

Very good and moving every day progressively towards excellent. I think Direct Scale is building a platform for the future.

It works. The functionality is quite diverse so it addresses 90% or more of our needs.

It is not intuitive. It is simply not feasible or practical for a client to become expert in all of the nuances to make the system work optimally. Accessibility to knowledgeable support from Direct Scale is critical to the clients success and happiness with the system. We do not like being told by customer support to solve problems ourselves with a tutorial video as a reference. It wastes time and causes frustration. Also, customer support consistently sends us down rabbit holes. The answer is simple. Direct Scale listens to the problem. Finds the solution and implements the solution for the client. Charge the client for this service. We are more than willing to pay the cost so long as it is reasonable.

The mission-critical problem is calculation and payment of commissions, and that has proven to be rock-solid. Not always the easiest thing to understand, but they have friendly and competent staff ready to help us with any issue we need to solve.

Full access to all data and a rich API are critical for our business strategy, and DirectScale was one of the few companies we evaluated who understood and supported this. The commission engine has been able to support any level of complexity we've required.

The back office for our associates is not the easiest to configure, and the associate-facing reporting needs improvement. The retail site was functional but challenging to customize in any significant way. DirectScale has worked with us to resolve both issues and takes feedback seriously.
