"Great Potential but Falls Short of Potential"
Comments:
We purchased ChainDrive over 8 yrs ago as a replacement for a current POS/ERP system we were currently using. The main reasons for purchase were POS replacement, dynamic reporting, replenishment, OTB, and CRM management (loyalty, targeting, etc). Unfortunately, the reporting is the only feature that seemed to improve over our previous ERP system. That being said, the terms, labels, and layout are not commonly used in the retail environment. The data also has to be checked and "rerun" periodically to be correct.
We have never been notified of version updates. Any updates have been researched and pursued from our end. Many of the things that never worked, like replenishment, were promised to work after a version upgrade but still never did.
OTB is a "different" set of numbers than the reporting data and can vary greatly based on activity other users input or change on the hierarchy or product side. It causes great issues for us as some members of our team use the Stats reports and others use OTB data and can be going off of different numbers. Also, very few support center associates understand OTB and tickets can take months to resolve or respond to.
In truth, the issues I have listed are also mostly viewed as our company grumbling about things that is "our fault" or our job to fix. The lack of customer focus or care from a higher level is disappointing at best.
Having extensive experience with ERP systems over 30 years, both large and small, I would not recommend this software to other retailers. It is designed, in my mind, without end user consideration or feedback.
Pros:
If you are technical, the reporting features are robust in general.
Store Planning
Cons:
OTB uses different data and calculations than the other reporting and thus differs.
Replenishment does not work
Issues are viewed as users fault
Many places or data points that can be accessed erroneously to cause user issues
Expensive to not be 100% completely working

"MultiDev Review"
Comments: POS is super easy. Ease of navigation and use of the HO/SF is somewhat cumbersome. We find the MultiDev family to be a committed partner in the success of our business processes!
Pros: True multistore functionality. User friendly at the POS level. Ability to configure for our specific needs.
Cons: Our unique industry has presented some challenges to the software development process. We find the PO process to be a bit more cumbersome than our previous system, but are working to streamline that with MultiDev
