A great tool for our sales workflow
Our overall experience with Tall Emu has been truly exceptional. It has enabled us to significantly enhance our lead conversion rate, enabling us to achieve our KPIs with greater efficiency. The automation features in our marketing efforts have proven to be particularly efficient, leading to improved customer relationships. Additionally, we've found immense value in its customizable contact database, automated communication log, customer timeline, and a host of other features. These functionalities have fostered a sense of unity within our sales team. Without hesitation, I wholeheartedly recommend Tall Emu to any business looking to streamline their processes and elevate their productivity to the next level.
PROSTall Emu has revolutionised how we manage our contacts and follow up on leads. Everything is streamlined and organised, ensuring nothing slips through the cracks. Having everything in a single, user-friendly platform is a game-changer! Whether it's nurturing new leads or handling sales orders and invoicing, Tall Emu has been an invaluable asset to our business.
CONSWhile Tall Emu has significantly enhanced our contact management and lead follow-up, one area that could benefit from improvement is the availability of more extensive workflow automation settings. This enhancement would further streamline our operations and empower us to achieve even greater efficiency in our processes.
Reason for choosing Tall Emu CRM
We opted for Tall Emu instead of other CRM software options due to its Australian roots. We sought customer support that was not only geographically closer but also well-acquainted with our business operations. The seamless integration with MYOB, our primary accounting software, was also a pivotal factor in our decision. It simply aligned perfectly with our needs, making Tall Emu the clear choice for us!

Excellent product for SME's with a large number of products
The main reason for switching to Tall Emu was to remove all the duplication we had in our sales and purchasing processes. This has been achieved 100%. In addition, we have all our product and sales information in one place now. It is easy and intuitive to use. My staff keep finding new features that add to improving the way they do things.The Help Desk support has been unbelievably amazing. I set up the system without any prior experience of Tall Emu. The Help Desk responses were always timely and concise. They were also honest. Sometimes its good to know if the system can't do a particular process. That way 'work arounds' can be found.
PROSWe have been able to capture all the information relating to all our possible products in one place. That is then used to generate quotes, sales orders, invoices and supplier purchase orders. No rekeying, no duplication. We estimate this has reduced our sales administration time by at least 50% and has had a massive impact on reducing errors. The system integrates seamlessly with Xero, again reducing duplication and opportunities for error.As we bed down the system we are looking forward to integrating with Woo Commerce in the future, further streamlining our processes.
CONSWe are still to refine our supplier purchasing processes and have found our method of calculating landed costs became too difficult to impliment in the system. We have also found the delivery docket/picking slip set ups to be clunky. If we were a larger business, I would probably add on a warehousing product. In saying that Tall Emu serves our needs.
Reason for choosing Tall Emu CRM
Tall Emu had good reviews, could handle the large number of products we have, integrated well with Xero and was Australian based (preferrable for support).
Reasons for switching to Tall Emu CRM
Attache was antiquated, to say the least, and product service non-existent. We could not manage our products or inventory through the system and had to have numerous other, manual, processes in place.

Tall Emu Review Boema
Inventory Management & Quoting process are extremely well done
CONSSetting up the software is pretty tedious and support access can be limited for any questions outside of the help forums. MYOB integration could have more in-depth information considering it is a MYOB product.

Considering Tall Emu CRM Software?
What we liked. The CRM functionality of this program includes most of the basics, this program began its life as a reasonable CRM, development towards intended ERP functionality has however rendered it unstable. Sales Reporting is quite flexible and any data recorded can usually be transformed into intuitive and helpful reports. Beware, without a savvy IT person in house to develop these they can be quite expensive to outsource to TE Support. What we disliked. Integrating CRM Software into a business's sales and admin processes is always a challenge. Heavily advertised as the CRM solution that can connect to everything - it can connect but the workflow limitations and intermittent freezing of the program leave a lot to be desired. Don't do what we did and trust - we went by their word that Tall Emu integration and connection with MYOB was something they did well.... sadly this was not so and to date they have not yet delivered a stable solution to this. The support team is quite cordial although if you are not on a costly support plan you will likely receive an invoice following your support phone call. The attitude can be a little defensive and you'll be asked to replicate the problem on-screen with their support personnel remotely watching before they take you seriously. This is time consuming and frustrating for staff ..the glitches aren't usually their fault! In perspective... client experiences and feedback will make good software excellent. On the flipside software vendors who release under-developed software often unfairly utilise the client(at their expense) to develop their products. It has been a time consuming and costly exercise for our company including the cost of stress leave for some of our staff. Consider one proven ERP system to remove the inefficiencies in the transfer of data between CRM-Accounting systems. Tips for those considering Tall Emu CRM. Check at least 3 references of prior installs that integrate Tall Emu CRM Systems with other accounting software. If you do decide on Tall Emu, submit a water tight brief after gaining an intimate knowledge of what you need it to do and what success will look like. Negotiate an implementation payment plan retaining 30-40% of roll-out costs until the scope has been met and the software is functioning efficiently.

Versatile, feature-rich software with great tech support
We started using the CRM to fill some of the huge gaps that Xero had in customer-facing documents; multiple addresses per customer, parent/child customer accounts to name a couple. It did this with ease, and we now use Tall Emu for any customer-facing documents except for statements. But we found Tall Emu CRM to fill so many other gaps in our day-to-day business running, we have set Tall Emu tabs up on most computers as the default window that opens when you start up the browsers.We're using the CRM as an ERP, for generating invoices, quotes, purchase orders, processing payments in, managing stock, organising our manufacturing throughput with BOM's, tracking costs, and more.
PROSInitially using the software - importing data from our accounting platform Xero. All our previous contacts, quotes, invoices, purchase orders etc were brought accross from Xero which saved untold amount of time setting it up, and made it easy for the team to start using the CRM straight away. The support team at Tall Emu are responsive and knowlegable. The software is good out of the box, but any features that would be beneficial to all users do get considered for adding to the core. The team are actively looking to improve their product which is great.The software is so comprehensive, very easy to mould it to any business model, even if sometimes some workarounds are needed.
CONSReports are a bit lacking, it would be good to have customisable reports becasue some of the preset reports are a bit useless. We've started filtering sales information and exporting to Excel to get the reports we need (we have to export to Excel for our accountant anyhow).Serial numbers module is a little hard to understand how to use, we've started manually entering these instead, for the time being. Would be nice to be able to use serial numbers for different components in a BOM, and have these values show on the sales paperwork.Transparency with the cost of some of the linked services, i.e. Machship - while the integration is free, Machship itself has only a paid service. The sales documentation made it seem like this was included. All web based which means activating it from a mobile device is difficult - an app would make this so much easier to navigate. Emails sent from Tall Emu CRM are prone to going into junk mail. From my experience it's an issue that happens to a lot of services using SMTP emails.
Reason for choosing Tall Emu CRM
Additional features and capabilities, plus an Australian support team.

Hi Jethro, Thanks so much for your comprehensive review of Tall Emu CRM. We really appreciate you taking the time to compile your thoughts – pros and cons – and would like to address some of your feedback. We have custom reports on our development roadmap – and all our customers will be advised when this is available. Serial numbers – can now be bulk imported (https://help.tallemucrm.com/general-help/help-articles/about-inventory/stocktakes/) and we also have a development task in train to allow copy & paste of bulk serial numbers on a purchase order. Regarding our integration via Machship, we absolutely take your point on this & will review our communications to ensure that it's clear there is a third-party service fee (via the third party, not Tall Emu) to utilise this feature. We appreciate you calling this out! Regarding your comment on emails going to junk, we suggest our customers switch from SMTP to Tall Emu email (https://help.tallemucrm.com/general-help/setup-guides/crm-integrations/setting-up-emails-crm/). You're right, it's quite well known that services using SMTP emails experience issues – hence why some big companies like Microsoft are stepping away due to inadequate security. Finally, on mobile – yes we hear you! We are working on making the mobile version of CRM much more user friendly. Thanks again Jethro – your feedback is really important to us. For any further questions please contact our Helpdesk – located in Sydney – who are looking forward to helping you and your business whenever you need it.
