Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We were trying to implement Bamboo for our company and found out quickly that what they promised in our sales calls and what was delivered were very different. Hidden charges, inferior customer service on the implementation of the product, and did not deliver what they said they could. I am so disappointed that we went back to our previous payroll carrier.
Pros
- Human Resources Platform.
- Human Resources Implementation.
- Sales Calls.
Cons
- Misrepresenting what they can provide (Stop doing this).
- Better payroll implementation support.
- Better Transparency of costs.
- Better communication between the sales and implementation team.
- Trustworthy sales people.
Return on Investment
- The time it took to implement a product we could not use.
- The hidden costs associated with things we were told were included in the cost of startup.
- Zero return on investment.
