User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend
It was extremely useful for our business as we built a lot of workflow in Salesforce centered around having received deposits or payments from customers. Chargent provides a force.com site which allows customers to pay online directly without interacting with any agents. You can integrate the transaction data directly into your ERP or accounting software.

When we first started looking at Revel Systems they were more restaurant friendly but they have adapted very well to our retail needs. This system is very easy to operate and maintain, from the POS to the management console. We are able to monitor and run reports for all three of our locations from one URL.

  • More flexible use of discounts and coupons

  • Updates do not always function properly

We have put an incredible amount of time into the set up, organization and clean up of this product. Now that it is working and flowing a little better, it would be inconvenient and potentially a bad move if we were to go anywhere else now.

Support Rating
The company founders are quick to respond to any questions or issues and are obviously very well educated on their product. They have helped us brainstorm solutions that go beyond the scope of their product and generally provide an excellent customer experience.

We got excellent support from Revel whenever we needed it. I personally worked with several Revel client support reps, and they were all extremely dedicated and helpful in assisting with any problem we had.

Alternatives Considered
Chargent has been better for us as it works within Salesforce and can be mapped into workflow processes and reporting.

Revel Systems has a much more intuitive user interface and reporting suite than Micros, which was our previous POS system. It's also more equipped to handle multiple types of service than something like Square. We ultimately went with Revel because of the inventory tracking function. We thought it stacked up better against its competitors.
