Impressed with the functionality and service we receive from all departments.
IDSTC software is built with the party plan model in mind. We are improving our business systems and processes because of the forward-thinking the IDSTC team has done in creating the functionality. The sales team which includes and everyone she brought in to answer questions and our support team - - are both very professional and great at setting expectations. We wanted to start very quickly and they were great about slowing us down, making sure the i's were dotted and the t's crossed before we rushed into som thing. support team is very thorough, knowledgeable, patient :) and fun!
CONSThe lack of integration with shipping services and accounting services causes extra manual work arounds.
Vendor Response

Great MLM platform built for the future
Built for the cloud with a rock-solid software architecture that is easy to configure and NEVER goes down because it's natively hosted in Microsoft's Azure cloud. This system has configurable business rules so that no code needs to be written to customize the software.
CONSWould like to have webhooks as part of the API to add to the integration options.
Reason for choosing Flight Commerce
Better cloud-based architecture and no software customization or software deployment needed like other platforms.
Vendor Response
Scott, thank you very much for the review. It is our commitment to provide the best-in-class platform for direct selling companies. We implemented webhooks shortly after your feedback and hope you are leveraging that powerful tool. We appreciate your business and we look forward to supporting your success!

Affordable but Finicky
This program got our direct sales company off the ground, once we grow a little bigger we will be investing in a better program
PROSThis program has a adequate front end for direct sales and does the basics for direct sales companies.
CONSFinicky program with an outdated look. Minimal options for reporting and gathering data. This program can handle direct sales genealogy and discounting, yet basic functions - like returns, are set up poorly (returns are an action, not generating a credit memo - to replace or exchange item for the customer, you must enter a no charge order which then throws off discounting data - one example of how this program is exceptionally difficult to work with).
Vendor Response
Hello Anonymous, your successful operations are our utmost concern. It appears you are using our legacy platform the ES 100. Sales began in 2002, so it¿s technology and design are indeed older. Clients with revenues greater than $300,000,000/year have run on the ES 100 and it still supports clients with revenue approaching $100,000,000/year. We discontinued sales of the platform in 2016. We are in various stages of assisting our clients with upgrading to our new platform. In 2017 we began beta sales of our new platform named Flight. We built it from the ground up using the most modern technologies and design. Our infrastructure is managed by Microsoft in the Azure cloud. Flight has a BI and analytics reporting package embedded in the platform with virtually all data available in real time. I hope I can address your concerns directly. There are modules with our legacy platform that may directly address the areas of concern. Please call Ian 813-277-0625 x114

Excellent Software & Service!
IDSTC has been phenomenal with us during the whole process. We are a new business, therefore we needed a lot of set-up! Their teams got us up an running quickly & went above and beyond for my company to make sure our launch was flawless. I could not be more happy with IDSTC!
PROSOur Party Plan software is so easy to use. IDSTC is constantly adding new features or making old features more user friendly! Everything is so easy to navigate.
CONSI don't think I have a single dislike about this software at this time. Everyone has been so helpful getting us up and running.
Reason for choosing Flight Commerce
IDSTC had everything we needed from an MLM/Party Plan Software company where the others just did not fit the vision we had for our company and its consultants. We truly are blessed to have found IDSTC!

Worked flawlessly. No problems.
We switched to Flight from Promlm icon, which never worked correctly even after fixes over a years time. Flight worked flawlessly from the beginning and was easy to use and very customizable by the user. UI for admin and users was great.
PROSEverything thing worked. Calculations were correct for commissions. Support team was awesome, especially since they did training for a couple of months with us.
CONSWe had no problems with the flight software
Reasons for switching to Flight Commerce
Promlm never worked properly. One fix would break something else. Commission calculations didn't work. Language and interpretation barriers with the team over seas caused issues. Horrible experience overall with them.

Great Software Solution For Social Selling / Party Plan Companies
My overall experience is very good. from the Sales process to being handed off to Support. The executive was a joy to work with in their sales dept. And, their support staff is friendly, responsive and would reply in a courteous and professional manner. Whenever we needed additional programming , The executive was very knowledgeable of what can be done within our budget and time restraints.
PROSIDSTC's es100 platform is easy to use and navigate. A few things I really was impressed by: Back Office Functionality: So simple to set up and train our field on the use! They provide the ability to control what navigation is available in the back office and create drop downs, so it looked clean and organized. The reports and dashboard are a huge help to our field monthly so they can stay on track with their monthly goals for sales and promotion. Host rewards interface: You have the flexibility to create different thresholds and offer a variety of host rewards such as half price items, booking credits and Host Exclusive items. Compensation calculation and Payouts: reports are easy to review and audit. a simple file is generated that we can send to our Pay card company to pay our field weekly for commissions as well as monthly for bonuses.
CONSAs a es100 user, some of the report functionality doesn't allow us to create custom reports. However, we are on the older platform and from what I understand, their newer Flight platform has the business intelligence to do so. This was always just a " nice to have" in my book.

Highly Recommend!
They have been awesome to work with. Their team is one of the best in project management, communication, and implementation. They've always delivered on time. Great customer support who becomes an extension of your internal team. Honestly, you can't go wrong with IDSTC.
PROSThe entire experience with IDSTC has been incredible. We started on their Flight system when it was in beta. It has come long ways over the 3+ years we've used it. They are constantly improving and innovating. As a customer of the platform, you get those feature for free or at a minimal cost. I love the simplicity of the system and how we can configure it. Most importantly, it is a system that works! We've never had our business shut down because of tech issues and that should say a lot about the reliability of their platform.
CONSThere's room to improve when it comes to e-commerce features so their customers can be competitive in marketing direct to consumer and increasing conversion on their sites.
Reason for choosing Flight Commerce
Great product for the price you pay and the scalability as the company grows. Also most functionalities are configurable instead spending time and money to code every feature you need.

From the very first conversation between myself and the Sales Staff at IDSTC, a sincere feeling of confidence immediately surfaced along with an appreciation for the entire Staff's Teamwork approach in regard to my training process. Without exception, all Staff members were patient and always willing to communicate within an uncomplicated development process from start to completion. Always had a feeling of consideration, as if I were part of the IDSTC Family of Software Experts. A wonderful Company to do business with. I've been with the company for seven years. Thank you to all at IDSTC. You're the absolute Best! Sincerely - Ed MacTaggart, Private Membership of America, Inc.
CONSI least enjoyed conversations with software development companies such as Gateway Payments System Software Engineers and my Bank Software Specialist with whom I have my NACHA File with. It seemed like other companies couldn't come down to levels of communications that were easy to understand. Never had that problem with IDSTC. Actually, this was a minimal problem. Again, all in all, I'm a satisfied client!

IDSTC Flight - A Powerful MLM Company Engine
Flight did an excellent job of keeping our company online and open for business. Flight's compensation engine is OUTSTANDING. Our distributors are timely paid EVERY SINGLE TIME. Customer Support was efficient, supportive, and responsive. Flight constantly improves while implementing upgrades with little to no interruption of day-to-day business. Their testing protocols are excellent so as not to create unnecessary disruptive bugs in the software. Flight is a very SOLID technology, not just a one-time wonder! I highly recommend Flight to any MLM company looking for a very stable, solid, and proven enterprise software solution.
PROSUser interface and ease of use, compensation plan management, sales tracking, reporting capabilities, automation and customization options, mobile accessibility, tight security measures, outstanding uptime, and POWERFUL COMPENSATION ENGINE!
CONSI did not like the requirement to pay extra to have access to communicate with our company's data via API. However, because IDSTC offered CSV access to all of our corporate data, we engineered external communication using CSV file dumps to accomplish integration with our custom-built marketing system, ZOIZAPS.

Uploading products was very simple and easy to implement. However building coupons and other components can be a little tricky in the beginning. I recommend having a few ideas during training and have there trainers build them with you. Do this for specials, deals, sales, coupons, ect. Get creative.
CONSMy biggest issue is the cost, especially the support cost. If you don't pay for their premium services you only get an hour or two a month of free support. After that, you start getting billed. used to work for a software company we provided free support to our paying clients! I feel that for what we pay monthly this should be included regardless of your monthly rate, at LEAST for the first six months after training. You may think you have somewhat of a good understanding of the tool when training is done, but once you get in there and you don't have your weekly call anymore with your performance contact you quickly find out you still need help...and you will find things that don't work. It's very easy to go over your monthly allotted time and they are quick to charge you for it.

I am using Flight, one of the newest in the IDSTC tool box. This has been a great experience!
We have sales tools, reporting, join features, SEO available on all products and images, blog features, unlimited page capability, email capture and send trough SendGrid, and the support is more than I ever hoped it'd be. Helpful, timely, communicative, and responsive to all questions - even the repetitive ones.
PROSSome of the best qualities of Flight is searching for info, adding to the products list, manually adding consultants from the back end and consultant joins from the website, and the Dashboard is EVERYTHING!
CONSIf I had to pick one thing, it would be reporting. I find it harder to drill down and create my own reports. I am not analytical nor did I ever have database experience. It's hard to grasp that, even after the numerous trainings they have provided me.

Many of my MLM/DSO clients use IDSTC for their back office, geneology and comp plan management.
IDSTC offers an enterprise-level product that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. The list of features is very extensive and there's a not of customization available. It's also mobile optimized and fairly straightforward for a distributor to get maximum benefit from the available tools. One thing that really shines is the graphical geneology reporting that clearly shows how everyone is placed in the downline. Very clean user interface!
CONSDue to all the features, there's a substantial learning curve. Expect several weeks of training to really get up to speed.
