MCA Suite vs. Method:CRM

It is a good tool for smaller companies entering the MCA space, but doesn't scale all that well, and provides limited options for reporting customization.

Method[:CRM] is well suited when you have a large company that needs to keep track of customers. It also connects with Quickbooks and that has really been nice for our organization. Our company is small so this really helps us stay on track and build our data base of customers.

• They have lots of detail on the deal pages.
• It allows for multiple internal and external users.
• It has global search functionality.

• The customization team is brilliant!
• The various integrations, QBO & Gmail, help me keep track of all customer interactions.
• The more organized I am, the more time I have to take care of my clients!
• I have nothing but praise for the support team and the rest of the crew at Method.

Incentivized

• Poor reporting.
• Filtering is clunky.
• They could improve on data visualization.
• Renewal advances that are not refinances are difficult to manage.

Incentivized

• I believe there is room for improvement with scaling down on the customizing (sometimes having too much isn't always a good thing)
• The estimate creator in Method is not as fluid as making an estimate in QB. (moving lines around, adding lines, etc.)

The things Method does well - QuickBooks data integration and extreme customization - it does very, very well. If you are looking for a CRM product or any business process automation software that integrates with QuickBooks, you have to look at Method CRM

Method has a great overall "usability". Once we started using the software; it did not take long before we were able to start editing our own web lead forms, email templates, etc. I think there is a learning curve however the learning curve is not bad. Anyone looking for a cloud CRM should start here

The support is great. They are on the line within minutes and share screen to figure out the problem immediately. I would highly recommend this product for that reason. I do wish the customization was a bit easier to use; however, with fewer settings that are available to the end user and an easier way to read the customization.

Be available to learn! There is a huge learning curve to this program. You have to be willing to take it all in. Be available to the Method expert and be patient.

We haven't used any others.

Method is by far the easiest of all platforms. It brings a lot of great features that Salesforce has as well as email campaign features like constant contact, all in one. The only thing I would add would be more reporting and custom report capability.

• We've been able to grow our working capital program over the years with the help of MCA Suite.
• Data management is difficult, and we struggle with reporting.
• We have granted merchants dedicated to their advances for tracking purposes.

• Method:CRM has probably saved me about 6-10 hours per week over the past few years.
• It has likely saved our company several hundred hours in the last 10 years.
• It has specifically saved us countless hours with better data management vs. having separate spreadsheets for keeping track of things.
