CIMS Software

We have been very pleased with the ease of use and functionality. We no longer keep paper records. The days of keeping track of burial plots on file cards are gone. We share our data upon request with persons doing genealogy research. Having pictures of the grave stones to include with the data is greatly appreciated.

Functionality

Pros:

The software is very easy to use. We use the Mapping version. It reduces our search time and the ability to print maps is very helpful to the employees. We have been with the CIMS software from it's early development. The company has continued to update and improve it's user ability. We have now transitioned to their cloud version and that allows me to access our data as I travel on my smartphone or tablet. We have taken pictures of the headstones and save them with the burial information. The customer support is outstanding. When I have had an issue, it has been resolved with one phone call.

Cons:

We have experienced no issues with the software. It meets our every need.

CIMScloud

We use CIMScloud to manage sales, inventory and burial records for our cemetery. When it runs smoothly, it has increased our efficiency and record keeping. When we have issues, the support team is easily and readily available to assist. The customer service is top-notch.

Pros:

The idea behind it is fantastic. When it is working the way it should, it keeps us in real-time with the details of our business.

Cons:

It's incredibly slow to upload and requires daily use of the Ctrl+F5 to update. The streaming isn't the best.

Functionality

Pros:

CIMS is both detailed and responsive. The detail allows me to research and easily find a number of burial attributes ranging from actual burials and ownership to family details, markers, and customer details. It also allows me to sort historic burials to supplement our guided tours of the cemetery.

Cons:

The biggest improvement CIMS needs is an easy access public portal that can be linked to a website so the public can easily search the burials at the cemetery.

CIMS Likes and Dislikes

We will soon have the CIMS on our website so that hopefully it will stop some of the calls about where and who is buried in our cemetery. We will have fewer ancestor calls.

Ease of use

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

The ease of learning the software and the fact that when I have an issue and call they either answer my question right away or get back to me in the same day.

Cons:

Right now I do not like the fact that when you go into a block you see the owner and every time you want to go to the next lot in that Block you have to click on the burial to see it. Before you could just go to a Block click on the burial and go from lot to lot without it going back to the owner. I would also like to see it have the ability to publish the obit on the site without going thru all of the steps that you have to go thru to make that work.

I like the overall look of the cemetery thru the software. It's easier to find graves available, who the veterans are, type of burial etc. I'm still a customer in progress in that I don't dig into what I could do if I took the time to check the software out completely.

Pros:

I like the arial view of the cemetery, showing the location and the surrounding graves, it makes finding a grave much less difficult for me, family members, and our grave opening contractor.

Cons:

Sometimes I get locked up. I'm not sure if it's me or the software, but I usually have to go out or do an F5 to refresh the page.

Good. I would tighten up the customer service aspect of the service. Understand your clients and while we know a ton about the cemetery business not so much about software and it's capabilities.

Pros:

It looks great and give people sitting with you a great view of the mapping. Love the document field for uploading images, that is very valuable.

Cons:

Like have approximation of the name field, if I type in "Smith" when it is Smyth I am looking for it may give a listing somewhere of those with names that are "Sm". This alpha browse option was valuable on our Access data base.
