Great way to collect info - easy to use!
- Quick and easy access, nice interface when logging in.
- Access to customer's info, easy to change user names and passwords when issues arise with login.
- Easy to use for the most part - a lot of ways to search for information regarding customer's info.
- Searching by email is difficult sometimes. There is no way to sort customer lists by most recently logins, etc. It can cause lengthy searches when trying to locate.
- Issues with hackers, security seems low at times - firewalls need to be improved.
- There needs to be more search fields for things like phone numbers, addresses, etc.

- We've had some issues with hackers, Spree did a good job to improve security so that customer info is protected.
- We can really cut down on phone time with customer info updates, allowing for us to on more important tasks
- We can search for customers, previous orders, etc. With our old ERP system, we didn't have that option, we now have that on both Spree and Netsuite.

How we use Spree
- Highly customisable. Allowed our developers to generate a unique and flexible front end and cart facility.
- We handle 2 warehouses and plan to add several more.
- We use 13 currencies to cater for our main markets.
- No particular weaknesses reported by our developers. They are using Spree on other sites too.
- Back end is visually ok rather than cutting edge design but functionality is all there.
