If you're in retail, you need this.

Zipline is a platform that I actually look forward to using, and has made my work significantly easier and my business infinitely more efficient. We all know communication is key in everything eery company does - so the benefits we've received have spread across every facet of what we do. I couldn't imagine us working without it.

PROS

It seemed to be the only product on the market designed with the end-user in mind; the retail store team. Reports, analytics, roll-ups, etc are useless if the target of your communication can't get the basic information clearly and easily. Zipline was something that required no training for our team to use, it's so intuitive and clean that new hires can pick it up immediately and get going. This is even more significant when all of our training and on-boarding is hosted there!

CONS

I wish I had a bit more personal control in maintaining our user lists or editing certain areas of the site. But the customer service team are ever present, fast, efficient and seemingly prescient at times - all of that means it's really no bother to ask them to do what I need and it's usually done in less than 15 minutes.

Reason for choosing Zipline

Clean, easy to use, met our people were they needed communication, excellent customer service/support, great value, and the ability to work with an evolving product.

Reasons for switching to Zipline

Sharepoint wasn't intuitive, required too much knowledge to navigate resources, messages were often updated but not unilaterally and often leaving the old one inlace, causing confusion.

Terrific Communication Platform

Overall, our partnership with Zipline has been very positive. They have terrific customer support and always seem to find a way to help when we need it.

PROS

Zipline radically changed how we communication with our stores. The platform is so intuitive to use that it enabled a smooth rollout and our store teams enthusiastically adopted it. The search function is effective and efficient making it super easy for store teams to find the information they are looking for. The platform also makes it easy for our field managers to stay informed and understand the information that their stores received. At all levels, Zipline has enabled our organization to access our field communication and stay informed.

CONS

Zipline has been a willing partner and willingly accepts feedback and suggestions for their product, many of which they implement quickly. We are currently partnering with Zipline to provide more flexibility with tasks and assigning different types of tasks when needed in different situations.

Reason for choosing Zipline

Zipline was far more intuitive and easy to use.

Reasons for switching to Zipline

Zipline has a much more intuitive and forward-looking product.

Zipline leaves room for improvement

Not the best. I've used better. I can't even use it at home

PROS

It's easy to sign into if you are in the vicinity of your store

CONS

I can't access anything within the app unless I am within a certain distance of the store

Vendor Response

Hi Danielle, Thanks for your feedback about Zipline. The experience you're having (not being able to access Zipline when you're not at work) is actually by design. Brands that use Zipline can, if they choose, require workers to be clocked-in or on-site before being able to access work documents. This is to protect the company from labor laws that govern what companies can have hourly workers do when they're not on the clock. If you have any questions or have feedback, we would love to hear it. You can access our support through the purple bubble in the app. Thank you!

American Eagle Outfitters Review

Very great all around!

PROS

I really like how easy the software is to use on both your PC & iDevice, the system is the same on both platforms. In addition, the support we receive from the team is next level and unlike any other vendor we have worked with before.

CONS

There are a few things we are hoping to grow with the platform over the next few years, but we know we will get there :)

Reason for choosing Zipline

Usability and really they were best in class compared to all other partners!

Reasons for switching to Zipline

We needed a platform that worked for our team and our field, Zipline was the right switch and had everything we wanted.

Excellent Tool Beyond the Retail Space

It's been really terrific. The people are awesome, the support is fantastic, and the software is top-notch.

PROS

Zipline had what we needed and is so easy to use. We work across North America, with licensees in the US and Canada. Each licensee is it's own business with a license to use our technology. We needed a central repository of information, task tracking, and communication, which fit Zipline perfectly. We love that we can customize our look & feel, build out visuals for our library folders, and that it's easy to learn and use.

CONS

So far, nothing. The only suggestion for improvement I've received is to add the ability to initiate an email from the system. That is, add a link / icon for a user to click on where it automatically creates a draft email with specific content.

Reasons for switching to Zipline

SharePoint was not working in our situation, required too much time/knowledge to configure, and didn't have the benefits of the communication and task tracking that Zipline offered.
