Party Plan modules are great and the new shopping cart experience is wonderful. > > **Cons**: Custom Development/modifications in the back office can sometime take longer than anticipated. Would recommend extending the timelines to meet your deadlines. ----- ### "Freedom has been the perfect fit for our business" — 5.0/5 > **Rolando** | *7 November 2019* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Freedom has been the perfect fit for our business, with so many features out of the box it was an easy process to switch from our old provider to Freedom. The system has been very reliable and allow us to grow the business without spending much time on system maintenance. Some of our favorite features are: 1. Easy to use. The software is designed where you get the most relevant information is a nicely formatted screen and it is easy to drill down for detail information. 2. Plenty of reports. When we need some new piece of information, we usually find a report that will give us exactly what we need. We like the feature where we can export to Excel. 3. Many built in interfaces. It was easy to interface our credit card gateway, shipping, and paying vendors. 4. I use the data warehouse feature. It allows for custom reports and custom applications. 5. Support. It is very nice to know that if we call support a person will answer the phone and help us. Although they have a ticketing system the human touch is very much appreciated. 6. The back office and shopping cart are easy to maintain and easy for the Distributors to use, also easy access from Freedom to the back office. 7. Software releases happen often, and new features are made available to us. 8. There is a lot help documentation and videos on the system. I have found many answers to my questions by watching videos and in the process learning about new features. > > **Cons**: I really don't have any cons about Freedom ----- ### "ByDesign Experiences" — 4.0/5 > **Gregory** | *3 March 2020* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Incredibly comprehensive feature / function capabilities. > > **Cons**: Difficult to undertand how to utilize capabilities of software without engaging with SMEs within ByDesign organization, who are very busy and often inaccessible. Standard support does not enable us to effectively use platform. > > Still attempting to get launched after 9 mos . .. ----- ### "ByDesign Software Keeps Getting Better and Better\!" — 5.0/5 > **Donna Marie** | *15 November 2019* | Legal Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ByDesign Software for Direct Selling is the most advanced software for our industry I have ever had the pleasure of using. The Software provides not only the state-of-the-art genealogy tracking and commissions calculations, but as well, it offers so many marketing features that really give a new company a leg up on their competitors. What I like most about this software is that it works\! > > **Cons**: If I was going to make one change to the software it would be that it has more graphics on the back-office dashboard. More and more clients are sharing that they not only want it to work very well, but it has to look awesome too. > > As an Expert Legal Compliance Consultant (I set up, monitor and run Compliance Departments exclusively for Direct Selling), I have seen the ByDesign software in many companies. When a client tells me they have another software, I cringe knowing the importance of smooth-running software specifically for this industry. The ByDesign software is so functional and easy to use I have seen new employees jump right in with minimal training. Staff loves it\! ----- ### "Perfect Fit from Beginning to Growth" — 5.0/5 > **Shelley** | *7 August 2019* | Cosmetics | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It was affordable for us when we reached the size to need backoffice software yet was buildable to our needs today when we could afford to add additional features. > > **Cons**: Other reviewers - We were "warned" that ByDesign would "nickle and dime" us for everything. What we learned was that was not what they were doing. They were allowing us to purchase additional addons as we grew rather than forcing us to purchase all at the beginning when it was impossible for us to get a backoffice for our field at those costs. > > The Freedom staff have been very helpful in assessing our needs as we grew. Their support team is very patient when working through any issues. When "bugs" appeared, they pretty much were always user error and they were able to explain what the solution was to correct the situation. We have found ByDesign to be the perfect solution for Sweet Minerals as they are willing to listen to our opinions and needs and create the solutions for our growing company. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/97067/freedom?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/97067/freedom) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
