## Reviews

### "Review" — 4.0/5

> **Matt** | *22 November 2022* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Stock managment, ease of ordering , receipting, quoting and invoicing is very simple and easy to teach new staff.
> 
> **Cons**: Barcodes cannot be uploaded through vendor stock feed. Some titles of stock code pricing can be contradicting.
> 
> Inventory managment, in our previous system we thought was ok. It was non existent in reality. Now we have a system which is easy to manage large inventory values and using the vendor stock feed makes that process even simpler.

### "Jim2 is a wonderful software developed by great developers and supported by helpful admins" — 5.0/5

> **Jj** | *30 August 2022* | Textiles | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy to use&#10;Always bringing out new modules or improving existing ones.&#10;Happen business built and own Jim2 so theres alot of room for customisation if out of the box solutions need to be refined to fit our business needs. &#10;Alot of long term staff in the business which makes it very easy to communicate and get things done.
> 
> **Cons**: I think they can be better in terms of being more of a presence online such as bank reconciliations (which they are currently in development). Good thing about Happen is they listen to feedback, over my 8+ years with them they have a cloud version of Jim2 and added API's that work wonderfully with my 3rd party website.
> 
> Jim2 engine is great. We use the cloud and it's up time is very impressive. If there are any issues they are quite to resolve. The people behind Jim2 are wonderful to work with. Very customer-centric and always willing to help.

> 
> Jim 2 saved us a huge amount of time processing orders, running reports, and completing our business analysis each month. It has been the cornerstone of us being able to service our customers well.
