Really easy to fillout in no time and user friendly.

SpringAhead is super easy to use, navigate, approvals are easy too, and has the reporting we need for project based time keeping.

They made no changes to the software in the 6 years that we used them.

Ability to save and submit time sheet as many time I want. User friendly interface.

Very easy to configure, relatively inexpensive, syncs with QuickBooks.

We do not use all of SpringAhead's features, but what we do use is easy to grasp and put into practice.

The ability to provide detailed data on projects. The exportation of time cards into QuickBooks software.

Extremely easy to use for people of all technical abilities. The ability to attach receipts for expense tracking is great.

Springahead has ZERO customer service, and I cannot get them to stop charging me, even though I canceled months ago. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THEM for total lack of customer support.

Also, the permission levels are horrible, basically non-existent.

I don't understand how to use their pay rates, etc. I tried to set them up for our hourly employees, but I did something wrong.

The responders will only work with appointments that are very limited. The biggest challenge is with the high turnover of the technical staff  to whom our company was assigned.

The functionality is quite good. The integration with QB is good but there is little customer support that can provide truly good instruction for the initial setup and actual implementation.

Another nice future is also, that overtime is tracked separately, given that 8 hours is the regular timeline to work, so you can see how many hours OT you have.

I like the ability to customize projects with tasks so there is a detailed understanding of where a project stands.

Sometimes have had sync problems, reporting is a little limited.

Very easy to input time, job tasks are relatively easy to find.

The integration with QuickBooks is flawless. SpringAhead is a good stable but very basic software that you can rely on.

Vastly decreased our payroll efforts and increased accuracy. Customer service is one of the best I've ever dealt with.

With many different jobs or time tracking categories, it can get cluttered and confusing when trying to use the drop-down menu.

I recently changed to a different product. The customer service was sorely lacking from inception to the time I cancelled my subscription.

Reports are easy to obtain. Users like the web based timekeeping.

The ease of use (as an administrator and end user) is fantastic.

Excellent experience, good relationship with Paladin.

Works well, excellent customer support, easy to use once you get used to it, visually very nice, good selection of reports.

The customer service is excellent and their online tutorials and help files are idea.

Paladin is very easy to learn and use, making it a very productive package of useful tools to accomplish the goals and needs of our business.

I like that I can teach someone to use the basics of Paladin POS in five minutes. I like that the customer support is very responsive, especially in a store down situation.

Sometimes the software runs into a glitch where it can be annoying. An example of this is when we scan in certain prescriptions and nothing gets loaded.

Intuitive and easy to learn, Paladin performs complex tasks with little effort.

You have to hit the enter button or use the mouse about 5 times to get to where you want to go. Customers are getting annoyed with it.

I like that the cost is half of what were using before. I like that I can easily add product SKUs and I can change prices when necessary.

The assistance, training and friendliness that we continue to receive from this company has paid off in spades. Not to mention the cost savings per month.

Then when we finally cancelled our service with them, I was told that I would not be charged again.

EASY TO SET UP, EASY TO LEARN AND USE,  WHILE HAVING GOOD FUNCTIONALITY. SUPPORT HAS BEEN WONDERFUL.

Ease of use and the simplicity. Also the inventory management is exceptional.

Quick to train employees because it is so user friendly. Quicker ordering process.

I like that you can lock the admin procedures from everyday users.

We have realized a HUGE savings over the past few years that we have been using Paladin POS. We are a small two-person Mom and Pop and besides the ease of use, this is the biggest benefit to us.

What to do with those customers, well that is your problem. Paladin is supposedly doing everything they can.

The customer support is absolutely outstanding. It is by far the best I have seen in all 30 years of working in IT.

The Paladin program had our store up and going from day one. We have found the program very user friendly.

Ability to control inventory and accounting functions easier and better than before.

Seems trivial but since we switched, our staff doesn't do this. If this is the only negative I can come up with.

They can not be quantified. Paladin does a great job and they have developed an excellent product.

The POS module is quick, very easy to learn and intuitive to use so personnel may easily and accurately check customers out.
