Pier 1000 Molo review

PROS

Browser based / online, allows access from anywhere. UX design is good and the software is easy to navigate and use. Email and texting through the app. Online payment option for customers.

CONS

We've experienced the most issues with the mobile app for technicians. Problems logging in, timer functionality, etc. These are mostly problems with android, apple products don't seem to have as many issues. The mobile app is always improving though.

Reasons for switching to Molo

Dockmaster was pretty antiquated while molo uses more modern solutions.

The best software I've seen and lots of potential

The reservations system is the best of any marina software I have experienced. I also like the various types of reports they are able to create. Accounts receivable has been impacted positively at my location as a result.

PROS

Molo is relatively easy to use, especially when training teammates who aren't necessarily computer saavy. The controls are intuitive and the visual layout makes navigating easy.

CONS

There are still a few bugs, but nearly all of them have workarounds. The molo team is constantly pushing out updates which continually improves the product.

Molo in a Commercial Fishing Environment

From the sales, evaluation, installation and support the Molo Team is exceptional in every way. A number of problems/issues we encountered were of our own making but Molo made things right. Molo was purchased by Storables (sic?) a year or so ago. There has been no problems and my original Molo Team is intact.

PROS

We migrated from a 20+ years old Sage accounting system. Billing was flawed, reports were of little value. We are public agency within the City of Ventura, CA, Ventura Port District. Our marina is 100% commercial vessels only, primarily commercial fishing vessels. Many of our tenants are seasonal. Molo gave us total control of our marina assets and greatly improved our cash flow and profitability.

CONS

We essentially migrated from a labor-intensive manual system. There was a learning curve that took my team several months to fully grasp, but tech support has been phenomenal. A lot of features are geared towards typical recreational marinas. There are a couple of reports we are considering contracting for, but overall very satisfied.

Reason for choosing Molo

We are somewhat unique and unlike most recreational marinas. All of our tenants are commercial in nature (i.e. ferry service to Channel Islands, crew boats servicing oil platforms, primarily commercial fishing fleets), many are seasonal which translates to "rearranging the proverbial deck chairs" on a rotating basis. Molo gave us the flexibility and control to manage our assets to serve our mixed tenant base.

Over all great product.

when I arrived to manage this porperty, the software that was used was meant for the managing accommodations (as we also rent rooms at our resort). Molo has eased the process of looking for availability of slips, accessing slip size information, making reservations as well as moving vessels. The overview map is a great visual as well the current dockage report very helpful when ensuring all guests are where they should be. As well the managing of guest insurance is now possible to ensure all guests are up to date with providing this information,

PROS

Molo made it easy during the set up process and it was all done and functioning in a timely manner. It has made us much more efficient with our moorage bookings than the prior software we were using. The retail portion of Molo is very easy to use and we are able to run reports to show profit margins. The movement of vessels is very easy. The slip availability is easy to manage. Most reports are very good and helpful to gather information quickly.

CONS

The glitches we experience sometimes seem very one off and random. Something will work one minute and then seem to not work for a brief period. The invoices are not as easy to adjust as they could be when it comes to cancellations, issuing credit notes etc. It would be great if the inventory report also showed inventory increased and decreased. There are too many locations to add files on bookings. They can be added on the vessel, reservation or contact and not all link. There is a glitch when entering monthly moorage that does not commence on the 1st of the month. Would be nice if moorage could start on any day of the month and create invoices correctly. Would also be nice if reoccurring rates could be set up for monthly electricity.

Reasons for switching to Molo

We no longer required Webrez to manage the accommodation portion of our resort, so we wanted to find Marina specific software for better management and profitability.

Captains Wharf Marina review

I currently use 2 different POS programs in my job. Clover & Molo. Our Clover rep is awful, I legit cant stand him, doesn't help us at all when we call. Doesn't respond back to my calls. I get reviews from clover to review our reps, I give him 1/5 stars every time. In comparison to Molo & [sensitive content hidden], completely different interactions, I know I can count on [sensitive content hidden] helping me out no matter how big the situation is.

PROS

The program is very user friendly when you do know what to select . I know for a fact I would be struggling if I didn't have [sensitive content hidden] to help me out. From big problems to the smallest ones he is able to walk me through the issues and ANY possible other outcomes . He gets back with me very fast, creates videos to show me the steps, I couldn't ask for a better person to help me out when dealing with thousands of dollars when it comes to billing. He makes my job easier.

CONS

If I didn't have [sensitive content hidden] to help me and explain things, this software would be very hard to learn and harder to teach to older marina staff.

User-Friendly

Overall, our experience has been a dream compared to what we were working with, previously. There are some bugs that need to be worked out as a whole, though I am confident that will happen in time. Once they can get the support team rolling consistently and answering/returning calls before end of business day and work out some of the communication errors (or lack of communication) for onboarding and the process as a whole, things will go far smoother for future businesses.

PROS

I love that MOLO is so user-friendly. We are able to access the customer accounts from many different areas in the system. Navigation throughout is pretty easy. The online payment option is a great feature, as we have many customers who live 2+ hours away and checks are quickly becoming a thing of the past with many folks. The reservations & maps piece is great for dock-walks and makes keeping track of whose coming and going a breeze. While the app needs some work with functionality and such, it is great to have everything on my phone at my fingertips while I am out in the yard. The numerous reports that are offered also great. so many options. Plus real time integration with QBO has been easier on our accounting staff and having to manually input data.

CONS

Onboarding was difficult. I was assigned a PM and there was very little communication before and during the set up, which caused quite a few issues. We had expressed both in the demo and prior to onboarding that we had issues within our QBO account and that some info was not in sync with our previous system. That info did not make it through all the channels so we had some customer import issues among others. Additionally, the support team. Hope that you do not have n issue you need resolved quickly. You're generally stuck to sending emails or when you call, you rarely get an answer and have to leave a voicemail and then wait to hear back from anyone (typically I have experienced 24 hours before getting a return call). I have had a couple of issues that I needed resolved quickly and was unable to do so, thus leaving me to deal with disgruntled customers unable to pay their bills.

Reason for choosing Molo

We chose MOLO because of the numerous features they offer, the QBO direct, real-time integration and the ease of use it provided our staff.

Reasons for switching to Molo

Bit was not properly set up, prior to new management coming into the marina. QBO was not set up correctly to match. You had to do a manual EOD process which made it difficult to send an accurate statement or invoice to a customer. We wanted something more user-friendly, something that integrated direct with QBO and that made the office staffs job a little easier.

Molo review

Overal experience was a slow implementation. Contacting customer service is not easy by phone so most things are sent via email and take time to resolve. We ran into many bugs that Molo has slowly addressed since we went live but it has been a long process. You need to be prepeared to figure things out on your own to get this up and running.

PROS

The software has an ease of use, anyone can quickly learn how to use it. The workorder implemantation has improved organization and tracking jobs through completion and would be the best part of the software. The app set up is a great for employees to track time on jobs although it still needs imrpovements.

CONS

Integration was made difficult due to lack of support and cusotmer service. Time tracking for staff was a huge issue (inaccurate dates/time/hours) for us that was only recently improved after months of back and forth. The molo to QB integration is causing alot of backend issues and lack of support again makes it difficult to rectify. Many issues still ongoing where things are connected incorrectly. Changes in QB need to go through Molo CS team so they take a long time to complete. Reports could be improved. The Molo calendare is not available in the app so only staff at a computer have access to it.

Reason for choosing Molo

Workorder management and reservation options an upgrade

Molo review

I am content, though the issues around Molo not existing to support operations is an ongoing concern. This means when there is an operational need to move a boat for an evening due to any number of concerns, the system can not support this.

PROS

The general usability, although when you dive into most aspects there are concerns related to most areas of Molo.

CONS

The inability to adjust rates, how often you have to cancel a booking due to system not supporting changes/modifications, and how often sending monthly invoices issues appear on the invoice due to system not adjusting for monthly changes.

Reason for choosing Molo

Molo's pricing around credit cards and ease of training new part-time staff made the difference.

Molo sucks

The customer service is terrible. They never respond in a timely fashion, and when they do They ask us if we googled it or watched a video on how to do it. As if they’re put out to help us resolve the problem I’ve reached out to management about our concerns and issues and I’ve got no response. Several of the services we are supposed to have they say aren’t complete yet or they’re still working on it and aren’t actually available.

PROS

The service module is pretty good.

CONS

It took three months to onboard, and we were told that we wouldn’t be charged for the on boarding. It would only be charged when it went live. Well, that was a lie. They charge us from the moment we started talking about on boarding our business.

Reason for choosing Molo

We were sold the bill of goods that so far have not been all that they said it was going to be

Not Ready for Prime Time

We were disappointed once we got into the actual software (versus the demo version used in the sales pitch). One always expects a certain amount of this in buying new software, but the drop off was steep. Perhaps this platform would work well for a marina which is mostly focused on renting slips, and only provides simple service, but it did not meet our needs. We will continue to watch the product, though, as the proposition is interesting and unique. If MOLO can get the functionality, implementation and team right, there's a lot of potential to be a good platform.

PROS

The appeal of an integrated system to manage slipholder, dry storage and our service business and to connect with our general ledger system was a very attractive proposition. The marina tenant management approach is good, and the upcoming technician app seems to have some promise. The sales rep and the founder were very knowledgeable.

CONS

We thought we might justify the high cost (about $10k per year for our business) through improved workflow, reduced data entry, and integration of our general ledger (Quickbooks). We found that to get the best functionality we would need to convert to Xero, which we were willing to do. We spent significant time evaluating and assessing, but lost confidence very early in the implementation process. Once we were handed over to the product specialist, she offered more obstacles than solutions and seemed to have limited business experience. In spite of a conversation and follow up email with the founder, MOLO is still charging us for the system though we cannot access or use.

Vendor Response

We regret not being able to meet the expectations for your business. Our dedicated Account Management team works hard with each Molo business with live training, data conversion assistance, and workflow support to ensure users can extract the most value from Molo. Converting to Xero is not mandatory or required to extract full general ledger accounting from Molo as evidenced by customers using more than five different accounting platforms across the country. Molo supports a multitude of workflows and has more flexibility than most systems on the market. Your subscription and payments were cancelled as per our agreement and as discussed.

Molo Review

Our experience with Molo is terrific. We have more useful information available than before and it is more accurate and available faster and with much less effort. Molo is a key tool in helping us run our business more efficiently and effectively. It also helps us serve our customers better.

PROS

Molo is very easy to implement and is very easy to use. Given how easy it is, it is also surprising how well integrated everything is as well. We started using it virtually right away and it made a significant impact on our business, including have more information available in amore timely manner and with much less effort.

CONS

There is a lot of integration so it is important to understand how that all works since doing one thing impacts many areas. It is essential to understand that fully.

Reason for choosing Molo

We picked Molo because it was cost effective, fully integrated, had strong features in terms of capability and reporting, and the support team were very attentive and interested in how they and Molo could help our business.

Started Using for Marina Management and Love It

We took over an older marina with no management system in place (think pencil and paper). We need to quickly get something that could manage our service department order writing and parts inventory. Molo got us up and running in no time with a highly customized solution to meet our needs. The support has been tremendous every time we've had a question or needed help.

PROS

It is easy and intuitive to use. The support team is great. They respond immediately to any questions or suggestions and took time to make sure we knew how to use it. It is highly customizable, meaning that we could use or not use any of the features based on what was needed for our business, so we weren't locked in to paying for features we didn't need. And if there isn't a feature we need available, the founders are always willing to see if it makes sense to add it. Looking forward to seeing how positively this has impacted our business a year from now. Fast setup, affordable pricing, responsive team = a win!
