"We have a lot of strategic accounts and large accounts that are tied with all the growth and acquisitions across North America, being able to tag parent-child accounts in an easier fashion would be better. This is the biggest pain point is associating parent to child and being able to align and manage it better. Overall a better parent-child relationship between accounts would be a benefit."
"Their reporting needs to be improved. It should be easier. I don't know how, but it needs to be easier."
"It could have a lot more customization options in terms of fonts and reports. There should be an even lighter version with just two or three fields.

For deploying it for CRM, maybe we can have our customer database, project funnels, and projects to help us in managing our supply chain business."
"Technical support could be a bit faster."
"Pricing is the biggest factor. The cost right now is too high and I've had a lot of clients leave."
