Michael Poole - Billingham

Like many long-standing customers, we have relied on this software for over 12 years. As mentioned previously, the customer service was once excellent; however, its quality has noticeably declined over the last year or so. I presume this was due to the recent exodus of a number of the key staff. Our primary concern now is the apparent shift in focus toward introducing numerous bolt-ons, presumably to drive additional revenue, at the expense of maintaining and improving the stability of the core system. Today, we once again experienced significant slowdowns at the start and end of the working day, which directly disrupted our operations and prevented us from working efficiently. We previously attempted to transition to an alternative provider, but due to the poor structure and limited export capabilities of the backend data, we were unable to extract critical information. This ultimately resulted in a failed migration attempt. We would welcome a renewed focus on system performance, reliability, and data portability, as these are fundamental to our confidence in the platform which, I'm afraid to say at the moment is at an all time low. update 3/3/26 System down again - 3rd time in the last 2 weeks it has been unresponsive. We haven't been able to do anything for 10 minutes so far and of course can't get through to the support team. It's time Glen realised how badly these outages are affecting our businesses and turns his attention back from making as much money as he can to keeping his core system working - before he loses swathes of his existing customers. Which he will. So many of us are fed up right now.
