Ackroo is a Great company overall!

The Ackroo team has been wonderful to work with. They are not your typical pushy sale people. They are the real deal and care about helping their clients get the ultimate experience!

PROS

Our company - Audrey's Auto Repair - has found that using the Loyalty Reward Card & Gift Card programs together, it has greatly increased our client loyalty to our shop, which has had a positive impact on our return of investment.

CONS

I have not found anything in the program that I would change.

Reason for choosing Ackroo

The prices were fair and the Ackroo team was great to answer all my questions about everything in the program.

Reasons for switching to Ackroo

We were having problems with the gift cards not working and wanted to add loyalty cards and that company did not have a tracking system.

Lacks Critical Ease of Integration with Wordpress/WooCommerce

They are inapt when it comes to integration with eCommerce integrations other than an API which is the most important start but insufficient.

PROS

That it has an API and ability to export reports

CONS

Lacks necessary plugins for Wordpress/WooCommerce for ability apply Gift Cards to WooCommerces product purchases!

Reason for choosing Ackroo

I was not part of the decision process but would have strongly advised against choosing Achroo do to it's lack on online integration.

Ackroo Review

Increased employee efficiency in regards to the submission and approval of monthly expense reports. Significantly reduced the amount of paper and paper retention given the supporting documentation was stored on the cloud. Reports provided the accounting department insight as to what and where our employees were spending the most during their travel time; allowed our company to arrange corporate discounts.

PROS

Very easy to implement, especially with the multiple general ledger and ERP systems we currently use. The training resources allowed us to easily deploy the program to our employees with minimal assistance from the accounting department. Being able to set up delegate profiles allowed the accounting department the ability to review expense reports prior to employee submission to managers for approval.

CONS

Customer service post implementation was delayed. Routine questions took time to get responses and it was done primarily via support tickets / email. I would strongly suggest a dedicated account manager along with direct contact numbers for support depending on the issue.

Reason for choosing Ackroo

Cost & implementation process

Great gift card system fro our Restaurant

Ackroo is oour Gift Card system. It runs a system that works has 1000's of gift cares with 10's of 1000s of dollars.

PROS

Easy to use. Very Reliable. Great analytics

CONS

Integrates with our POS system but sometimes there are glitches with gift cards. Communication errors. Probably less than 1% of the time though.

Reasons for switching to Ackroo

We switched POS systems away from Micros to Maitre'd. Needed to transfer our gift card program to software that worked with Maitre'd
