Red Falcon Experience.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use it to process office supply orders. Having more reporting options included in the software or a report builder would be nice, other than having to log in to Acsellerate.

Pros

  • Ease of processing orders.
  • Accessible anywhere.
  • Calculating commissions.
  • Easy to navigate.

Cons

  • Would like to be able to print only unprinted orders in packing slips.
  • More reporting options within Red Falcon.
  • Would like to be able to search by order number under customer order history.
  • Be able to do recurring orders on the back end for MISC items.

Return on Investment

  • Being able to see orders flagged with low GP before processing has helped us avoid taking a loss on an item or order by catching it ahead of time.
