Microsoft Dynamics RMS (Discontinued) vs. Retail Pro

Like I said before, it's great to use when you have to manage multiple warehouses, multiple stores or multiple websites, or all of the above and you need to keep an up to date inventory for all locations. Once learned it will make anyone's job much easier to do each day.

It will suit simple small size businesses like mom and pop shops. For a mid-sized retail company with more than 100 stores, it runs way too slow and lacks a lot of functions.

• Once you set it up correctly, it just works
• Can be customized
• Tons of options

Incentivized

• Stable and reliable (we never faced any issue with the data).
• Handling promotions is easy.
• Easy reports.
• Retail Pro's support network is strong. We get support in all the regions.

• Steep learning curve
• Not as advanced as new systems on the market
• Can be buggy with websites

Incentivized

• Always crashes. Runs very slow. Part of this is because it does not fit the size of our company anymore.
• Lack of capability to integrate with accounting software. We have to use Access tool to pull sales journal data from Retail Pro, then import to our accounting software.
• The interface looks very out of date.

First thing, all of my business users are happy with the usability and reliability of retail pro. Users are able to get what they want to run the business positively. We are able to customize the solution any time based on the business requirements. Finally after working on different solutions we found a solution that works with little support.

Retail pro is a solution which needs minimum support, so we can concentrate on other productive work. Worst case if there is any problem our well trained Zimson team is able to handle it on time. Thanks Retail Pro for its world class support and training system. No wonder why all top retail brands use Retail Pro for its POS operations.

It's been so long since we actually chose this program, I am not sure of the competitors out now. I started using it a couple years ago, but our company has used it for maybe 10 years now? We plan on reviewing other systems next year, so I will know more then.

N/A. I wish we could switch to other products.

Incentivized

• It has saved us time by not having to do anything manually
• It has kept our inventory updated so customers are not upset
• It's always worked, so not a lot of dev/support money required

Incentivized

• It decreased the home office's efficiency because it runs too slow and always crashes.
• At the store level, it causes cash over short/duplicate charge issues when it crashes.
• For the inventory and planning department, it impacted the accuracy of inventory level due to the lack of functions.
