We partnered with Celerant to build a robust all in one integrated system, which included a consignment functionality.

Use the implementation staff, training staff, and support staff.

For such a complex and crucial part of business, it’s good to have a partner like Celerant who can help simplify the process to get our operation as secure as possible.

I thought going in that it would make my life easy but I was proven wrong.

Celerant has been a true technology partner to us and, more importantly, passionately committed to our success.

Promised to meet all our web page and pos needs in a “one stop shop. In person salesmen seemed creative and responsive.

Our business is in worse shape now than before the switch.

The amount of time we have saved using best store fulfillment is immeasurable.

Celerant is a very good POS system that provided a quick and easy way to track sales and inventory when used correctly.

The integration is great as many of our customers shop all of our stores so having access to accurate customer data allows us to better serve our customers.

Metrics suffer from an identity crisis, with different labels scattered across the system, causing confusion between barcode variations, product styles, and inventory classification.

With them still owing me a module for the website and another for a mod I had to prepay for to get the pricing I did, I walked away and took the loss.

I have found everyone from Sales to Implementation to Training to Support to be professional, courteous and very helpful.

Exceptional software that is fully integrated with how our two stores conduct business while helping us maintain a omni channel retail presence.

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.

Critical issues, such as sales syncing failures resulting in massive financial losses, were met with apathy.

We are very happy with the software and our relationship with Celerant- and would recommend the system to any dealer.

Good software for inventory sales and ordering.

Once I was used to it, I certainly enjoyed the ease of use of the system and the ability to network in our stores from around the country.

Celerant’s Command Retail was one of our most important technology investments.

Like any major investment, do your homework which if you are on this site you likely are already doing.

Sometimes the program would crash when trying to pull reports and wasn't multifunctional while performing transactions.

The service and post install add-ons that you thought were part of the original deal are really frustrating. Not so much in cost as install delays.

The customization of the pos screen is great. Super easy to navigate and change if need be.

Customer support is expensive amd doesn’t get the issues resolved. Mostly band aids assuming it gets fixed.

To be fair, this issue probably only arose due to the items being entered wrong on our end.

We needed a great web platform, a mail order web interface, and a very robust amazon integration.

It is slightly counter-intuitive when learning how to use the system. At times, it can be confusing why certain actions weren't as easy to un-do or go back.

The scheduling portion was broken, it wouldn't give correct information when making inquiries on availability, it would just lock you out of orders at points.

This is a straight forward program to use at POS for your business. Somewhat simple design navigating through the software.

There are none, except this is the best the furniture world has for software and they worship it. The software is so outdated it's like stepping back 30 years.

As a growing small business, the benefits far outweigh the costs, especially considering the breadth of what STORIS offers its customers.

I have nothing but the highest praise for the tech support we receive.

Very Easy to use on a day to day but it at times can be limiting.

This can wreak havoc on our business. This may not be hey STORIS issue but rather an in-house Ethan Allen issue.

STORIS 9.5 is very reliable and structurally extremely sound. The different Modules allow a business to choose only what they require and all work seamlessly together, in my experience.

Storis has an extensive menu that help manage every area of our business.

This software is the best out there for the top furniture companies. It has been designed from the ground up to handle the unique scenarios that present themselves in furniture sales.

It would seem to me that many of the features that Storis charges extra for should be integrated into the software itself at no extra charge.

Not sure at this time  i am only one user and mainly accounting.

It has a very broken system for capture consistently failing and struggling to properly achieve goals most POS systems achieved in 2010.

The simplicity of the UI, processes and overall system allow our employees to focus entirely on selling and servicing our guests.

Updating orders, information, pricing, descriptions is very easy, choosing the printer settings make life very convenient and helps keep records accessible.

I've been in the IT support department myself for over 20yrs and got to give the highest of kudos to this companies outstanding services and support.

As far as the furniture industry goes this is the GOLD Standard, it is the most sophisticated software available in the industry. So by this default it is a Pro, however.

In comparison to today's drag and drop, intuitive computing environment, the Storis software feels dated and clunky.

Failure to integrate with other technologies in lieu of developing their own software is a trap a lot of these companies fall into which limits capability and cost.

It is slow and clunky, has way to many opportunities for failure including where you can lose reserved product for a customer simply by scheduling, it isn't self explanatory and very tired and broken.

A product of the server being used by multiple retailers and over burdened I guess.

Our company is easily able to be scaled thanks in part to the software.

I also love the integration with Dispatch Track. Everyone in my company uses this program and absolutely loves it.

High quality but sometimes challenging to work with.

I have worked with the Storis team for almost 24 years now. Nowhere in the technology community have I had the pleasure of working with such a great team.

Its sad, innovation should happen from true criticism, instead this company has a temper tantrum to those that use it.

A lot of the troubles we have encountered are due to the fact that we are not a bunch of computer people which is why we used spreadsheets and sales books for so long.

Really love exporting and importing data sets via Excel. This helped with mass catalog changes.
