No incentive was offered Recently changed over to the Stratus Enterprise platform (by Celerant). Excellent pricing and the implementation process is straight forward. Able to meet my needs. Our implementation manger Tandy is extremely helpful and is always available to answer my call. Well satisfied with the product. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Ease of setup. simple interface, easy to manage. Pricing is very competitive #### Cons System design limitations. Uses java (java runtime). Web based solution #### Vendor response Thanks so much for the feedback. Looking forward to a long partnership with you and your entire Goodwill team! Replied June 2024 --- ### Worst decision I ever made - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Lisa J. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Retail - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: October 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Wish I never did this . I have spent so much I’m married to them. Customer support is expensive amd doesn’t get the issues resolved. Mostly band aids assuming it gets fixed. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 2/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros When I first saw the system I loved how I could access it remotely. It was supposed to work even when our internet went down but that has rarely been the case. The flow is nice assuming it worked the way it should. #### Cons I have open tickets all the time. Customer support is a joke. I have had a ticket open that one store cannot access ANY REPORTS FOR 4 weeks now. They will get it fixed amd then 4 days later it goes down again. I have serial numbers that have magically disappeared and have to call them to put back in the A&D book. #### Reasons for choosing Stratus Enterprise Financing and looked like a great product #### Reasons for switching to Stratus Enterprise Out system was no longer supported #### Vendor response We're sorry to hear about your negative experience with our system. Your feedback is crucial to us, and we're committed to improving our services based on it. Our Client Services team is here to help and can escalate your situation to help get proper resolution. Replied February 2024 --- ### A Company to grow with - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Tanner B. - Industry: Sporting Goods - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used unspecified for more than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2017 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered We have experienced a significant amount of growth since we first started using Celerant in our store back in 2004. Since then, we've expanded to multiple locations. Celerant's staff has been there every step of the way to provide an exceptional level of service, creating a very strong partnership that has lasted for over ten years. Celerant's software has made it easy for us to manage our daily operational procedures, including the ability to produce granular reports for a range of attributes that can be received across our multiple locations. We look to the future of our partnership with Celerant to embark on new endeavors, including the development of an integrated E-Commerce site to further expand our business into a cross channel operation. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Reporting Flexibility Multi Channel Strong partner to work and grow with, who looks forward and provides options to help you do so. #### Cons We export to a seperate GL - So I can't speak to that portion of their integrated offering. It is a newer addition to the software package. --- ### Stratus Retail helps us manage our range and much more! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Mitch T. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Retail - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2017 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Stratus Retail has helped us manage our POS, Firearms Records (A&D), and all 23 lanes we have at SafeSide Tactical in a single software. At first we thought the size of our range and our planned growth might be a challenge for our technology provider. When we met Celerant we could see that Stratus is scalable and the team at Celerant can work with us every step of the way. We use Stratus for all aspects of our range and store operations from range reservations to Gift Cards to POS with EMV. One of our favorite features is our vendor integration with our distributor, AcuSport, and the fact that we can leverage auto-ordering based on Min/Max quantities that fit our multiple locations. With this feature, we’ve been able to eliminate 5-10 hours of manual counting/ordering each week and can keep the products on hand that our customers are shopping for. We are very happy with the software and our relationship with Celerant- and would recommend the system to any dealer." #### Cons Celerant's retail software is very intricate and at times it can be confusing, however Celerant's customer service is there anytime we get overwhelmed or are unsure how to do something. --- ### Powerful software for all aspects of retail - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Craig W. - Industry: Apparel & Fashion - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2017 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered We also use the tools in the marketing automation module to segment customers based on their shopping behaviors, and develop emails that are mobile friendly. This is vital since 70 percent of the emails that we send are opened on mobile devices. By sending email communications that are tailored to known customer preferences, we boosted our email open rate from 8 percent to over 25 percent. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros We're able to operate our brick and mortar, e-commerce and marketplace stores all with this software. We operate two different retail locations that are only a few miles apart but carry inventory that varies from one another. We actually see many differences in which styles are more popular in either store. This gives us scalability as we continue to grow locations and understand the needs of our customers. We're also managing a fast growing E-Commerce segment, so having full visibility into what items are selling gives our buyers the information they need to know regarding what to order and where it should best be carried. This integration also updates our Amazon store with both stores inventory availability so it knows that we are able to fulfill any order it processes. Again, this allows for scalability at the channel level. #### Cons There is a bit of a learning curve because it offers a wide menu of capabilities and reporting. I'd start learning only the things that are most vital, and worry about the rest later. --- ### Geigers Stratus review - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Gordon G. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Retail - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros the customization of the pos screen is great. super easy to navigate and change if need be. #### Cons we're still trying to evolve to 100% stratus including ecommerce. #### Vendor response Thanks so much for the review, Gordon! We sincerely appreciate our partnership since 2011. Replied February 2024 --- ### Time saver - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Rebecca B. - Industry: Apparel & Fashion - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2017 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered By converting to Celerant in 2010, we have successfully revamped the way we operate our 44 store locations, from streamlining our point of sale process to automated fulfillment in our stores – we are able to provide a more personalized experience to our shoppers. Our enterprise-wide visibility of data is amazingly helpful. We can instantly see results from any store, any time. Possibly the biggest testament to the effectiveness of the custom platform Celerant created for us is that since installing it, we have added 5 locations and haven’t had to add any additional staff to out accounting department. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Provides us with company wide information very quickly, and customers are available across the platform to all of our stores. Security and lockout features are very solid. #### Cons Some features are bundled with others and we continue to use a few workarounds. Credit Card processing inside the system can be tricky. #### Vendor response Awesome review and thank you for sharing! Can't get better than that! Replied February 2024 --- ### Handles stores, sites, mail order, amazon, wholesale and more. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Anthony Q. - Industry: Health, Wellness and Fitness - Product usage: Used unspecified for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2016 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4.5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4.5/5 #### Pros There are not many combined POS and web platforms that can truly do both well. Celerant does exactly that. We searched high and low before finding Celerant, so I know most of the other options out there, and they did not fit our needs. We wanted POS registers that were able to run locally in the event of internet outage, but otherwise were essentially real time. We needed a great web platform, a mail order web interface, and a very robust amazon integration. We have that and our business has flourished over the past 7 years because we've been able to focus on our core business rather than technical issues. #### Cons Any time that you have a large POS platform that handles all aspects of your business (we use QB for accounting, though) plus integrates with a custom web platform, you are going to have complexities that can take awhile to figure out. So I would say that you need to allow enough time and testing to get things working perfectly. But then again, if it weren't complex in this way, it wouldn't cover all of our needs. So it is the flipside of having a system that handles all of our channels and the enormous growth that we've had over the past 7 years that we've been using Celerant. --- ### All-in-One Company for Different Parts of your Business - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Jack H. - Industry: Sporting Goods - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used unspecified for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2016 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Celerant is a great all-in-one POS and web system. Our end-users range from inventory managers, processors, and sales clerks to content writers, buyers, and demo racket specialists. Celerant provides amazing multi-channel capabilities for less than other companies with similar software. The integration with Amazon and Channel Advisor set Celerant above the rest for us. The real time inventory updates from both our in store and web purchases is a giant positive as large volumes of sales are processed throughout the day. A great feature Celerant provides is our Local POS Servers so that our store cash registers never go down. Celerant has provided us robust features customized to fit our particular needs to increase our business and meet consumer demands and wishes. We experience fast page loads which is important when we are trying to get items up in a timely manner. #### Cons We would prefer to have more than one person in Tech support to assist our company. Our company uses most aspects of the software so it would be more helpful to have a few people in tech support that really knew our business. This would help in solving issues in a more timely manner. --- ### Retail Solution for both mom and pop retailers and larger retailers - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: James B. - Industry: Retail - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: May 2017 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros We are a fairly new client with Celerant and with every new integration there are going to be bumps and bruises, but Celerant’s team has been there every step of the way. If ever we have an issue, concern or question Celerant is there to help us through it. Stratus is a retail software for both smaller mom and pop retailers and larger retailers as it combines power and ease of use. Training our employees was very easy, while we will soon have the ability to perform essential range functions from mobile devices and tablets. Stratus Retail has streamlined our organization allowing us to become more efficient, accurate, and cost-effective. #### Cons Since, we are a fairly new client with Celerant there have been some growing pains, but nothing you wouldn't expect from implementing a new system. Celerant's staff has been extremely helpful working through those issues. --- Showing 1 - 10 of 37 Reviews [See All Reviews](https://www.softwareadvice.com/retail/celerant-command-retail-profile/reviews/) ## Other Top Recommended Retail POS System Software [Clover](https://www.softwareadvice.com/retail/clover-profile/) **3.8** (580) Recently recommended **29** times [Rain POS](https://www.softwareadvice.com/retail/rainpos-profile/) **4.1** (134) Recently recommended **26** times [Toast POS](https://www.softwareadvice.com/retail/toast-pos-profile/) **4.1** (554) Recently recommended **22** times [AmberPOS](https://www.softwareadvice.com/retail/pacific-amber-technologies-amberpos-profile/) **4.1** (51) Recently recommended **22** times Stuck Between Options?
