We also had great support for training and development for our employees. In addition we found many reports we could use to help make projections for growth.

Software is easy to use. Customer service is very helpful to resolve technical problems.

Overall my experience with this software was horrible. I would not recommend it to anyone.

Overall, extremely poor customer service, lack of timely follow up, a constant change in personnel and ultimately they did not deliver on the Professional Services outlined in the contract.

The support from Petrosoft was very disappointing and I spent a considerable sum with my accountant while he tried to help them sort out the issues (we eventually abandoned the effort entirely).

Navigation is difficult with odd menu positions and names for links. Data between reports often does not tie.

It takes twice as long to go back and figure out what someone else has messed up so that you can go back in and fix it.

Trying to pull reports for something and you have to go to many different places to get report. Adding multiple UPCs to one item can be a little difficult.

I like the cstore mobile app as it updates me about my store sales/profits real quick.

Unfortunately, I had used the software for a year before recognizing its deficiencies and have only continued to use it because of the difficulty associated with moving to a new software.

It helps tremendously with the overall operations of our locations. It brought our stores from marginal to profit makers.

The accounting interface with quick books was unusable for my application, probably due to formula errors in the C Store office software.

Multiple Years with System- and we are still growing with it.

Now we have to fight them to reimburse our for the funds we paid upfront.

I run multiple computer platforms for different areas of our company, and this is by far my favorite because it is both easy to use and is very stable and doesn't lose information.

Once we signed up and I called him concerning an issue he was extremely rude on the phone with me and I never got the issue resolved. Their representative was so unprofessional.

If anything it made inventory harder because they would change retail pricing and had everything under the wrong vendors, departments and categories.

Very positive and highly recommend the software and the company. Many options for expanding features as needed.

I was excited about getting software to get our store's inventory straightened out.

Cstore overall is a great company to work for.

Many of the reports in its portfolio appear to have formulaic errors and produce data that is unusable.

The upfront cost is small to none and it is very easy to use.

Customer Service was horrible. You could not talk to someone when you wanted to.

It was simple enough, even for a novice user like myself. The fact I could integrate it with my bank account and automatically enter expenses and raise invoices with my own branding etc. was great.

The single most annoying thing about it is the support.

The FreshBooks/Xero integration stopped working around 2017 (I don't know why; each company blames the other).

We were currently using Quickbooks, which had, at the time, very limited cloub-based capability. Xero looked great, was easy to use, and made it possible for our virtual team to work together.

I love how easy it is to sync bank feeds and reconcile transactions. I love the rule feature that allows me to set my routine transactions to the correct COA.

There is more information in the project tabs than what you can obtain in the report which is disappointing.

I believe Xero have captured a very nice niche of the industry with it's very business orientated user interface and simplisitic feel. It makes accounting somewhat fun for the business owner.

Ve not used the full power of Xero yet but so far it’s been great in helping me keep track of real time spending etc. It’s certainly an asset to the business and I’m learning more as I use it.

Finances are easier to keep up to date and more frequently, the software updates are seamless, the reports are great, the integrations are outstanding, and the service is super.

Every feature I need is an extra add on charge. The remember me at login does not work and I have to waste time with 2 step login every time I leave the computer for 5 minutes.

Xero has been a great experience for me. If you want software that can automatically allocate transactions when and where you need them to go, save yourself time and check out Xero.

Great software, price is affordable for small businesses.

Xero is easy to use (with a little direction perhaps) and it's been great for invoicing, payroll, and tracking our finances.

Easy to share with accountants. A thoughtful social enterprise discount given too.

And there are odd glitches in the reporting (cannot recall all the details now, I only have one client left using this app) that I had to watch out for.

Appalling Software - Avoid at all Costs in My Opinion.
