What did we do before Repsly?
We love Repsly. It has increased collaboration, execution, visibility, competition and overall productivity. After a month, you start asking "What did we do before Repsly"
Pros
The collaboration between our team did not exist prior to Repsly. We have 6 different regions with 6 different "group text" This caused major silos. After Repsly, reps from all over the world feed pics and information into 1 place. The messaging feature drives competition and peer recognition. Everyone stepped up their game after Repsly and productivity skyrocketed!
Cons
There are small improvements that can be made to any app. There are nuances to any app. We are happy with 99% of the functions of the app. The 1% is minor things we would prefer to be different based off our preference.

Our REPS Love Repsly
Pros
Our reps love the ease at which they can add notes and photos to a customers account for use at a later date.
They also use the feature for finding other accounts in an area every day.
Cons
We would like for the reps to have the same access on their laptops that they have on their phones for scheduling.

It Works
We use Repsly for field marketing activities for our food brand in grocery stores. I am testing it with 4-5 reps but have not extended it to my entire field team of 50+ reps.
Repsly works for what it is, but has limited reporting features. The backend is not intuitive and viewing the data it shows on the rep reports page isn't very helpful because you can't dig into the stats and individual reports contributing to the stats. Uploading information is hit or miss, and once something is submitted, you don't have individual control of certain parts of the data to change or delete. You have to email their tech support to make adjustments or delete data you no longer want to use or mislabeled. You can't view a master calendar to see all activities past, present and future- only individual rep calendars or individual client calendars. This is not a big picture kind of tool, it is much more to see the general surface and acute status of your field activities.
My reps also have difficulties using it in the field, we have had to several training sessions for it to make sense and to work for what they are doing in the stores.
Overall, depending on the size of your team and what you use the app for, it does add some value, but I don't think it is designed for large teams or data rich analysis. It's also priced per rep, so unless your reps are working full time, in the field every day, this is an expensive tool for weekly check ins.
Pros
Reports can include pictures
Geotagging with time stamp
Can create custom reports
Unlimited number of Clients (we use each individual store as a client)
Cons
Not that user friendly- team must be trained and followed up with
Backend limited
Reporting limited
No master calendar

Good for small business tracking
Positive experience overall. Synchronizing error can be frustrating but data usually comes through.
Pros
I like being able to check in on my workers and be able to go abck and compare dates and store visits
Cons
I would like to be able to manage from the app and not just the website

Excellent mobility tool
I have recommended Repsly to all of my clients who have a mobile workforce. It is incredibly user friendly and customisable. It has changed the way organisations gather information in the field and react to changes in the marketplace that are made visible by Repsly.
Pros
Easy implementation with no system integration requirements.
App is user friendly and constantly updated.
Cons
The biggest con for South Africa is the exchange rate, which is unfortunately out of our hands.

my review
It solved our sales communication with central offices
Pros
Easy to use, easyto install. It gives a full view of the sales cycle
Cons
It is not fully adapted to customers outside USA. VAT number is not existent in the software and in Europe is the only way to identify companies. You did not think about it and this generates many problems to european companies.

Hi Rodolfo, thanks for the kind words about Repsly! Happy to hear that you see the value of the tool. We have dozens of clients across Europe; please contact [email protected] if you need assistance.

Repsly Review
Very good
Pros
Very good value for money. Very technology focused, and captures all the needs I have in tracking a rep.
Cons
Honestly I can't think of much. Putting pictures into the regular/automated reporting options would be huge. Also, working with retailers to constantly have the current stores in the system rather than brands having to curate it themselves.

It's worth the money you spend
Our company is being using Repsly for almost a year and the one thing we can say, it's just great! We had never had such a good "all in one" solution we needed so far, and after getting Repsly on we improved our field works amazingly well!
Now we can use the system for daily shop checks, visual communication across the team, best practice samples, review of development of our partners displays, fulfil forms, audits, share with others of "how to" and many other nice things you'll recognise there.
I recommend every company that is working on field sales and have representatives on - go and get Repsly. It's amazing tool for your team. How cool? Go and check!
Pros
Clear. Easy. Simple. Nice design. Easy to change things you need.Ease of use for reps and managers. Easy data tracking. Nice and full daily reports. In one word - P E R F E C T.
Cons
The only thing that sometimes knits my brows is some tiny bugs, that appear after some updates. But the good thing is they work on them really fast and fix asap.

Pros

- Allows you to see historical events
- Surveys are easily customizable
- Amazing feed and general cross user UI/UX
Cons
- Reporting on the back end could be more robust
- Photo taking could be simpler
Response from Repsly

Repsly surveyjeff
When we did the trial I didn't like the system at all. I don't know if some of the features weren't turned on or if they didn't work back then. Since we started with program this year it as been a good product
Pros
It sis much easier to keep all information in one place.
Cons
The fact you can only take a couple pictures inside the question area.
Response from Repsly
Thanks Jeff!
All the features available in the full version of Repsly should be available in the trial version. If you have any feedback on what specifically you didn't enjoy about the trial, we'd love to hear it! We're glad you're enjoying the product now that you are using it on a regular basis.
By default, Repsly limits forms to 5 photo fields, but if you need more we can adjust that limit--just give us a quick call!

Repsly Works and is giving us an edge.
Overall I really like the Repsly system for its field monitoring and tracking. Getting information set up so that it reports correctly is the most challenging part of it. Matt and the customer service team have been great in helping out and their follow up is strong, so that has made it much easier.
Pros
Its very intuitive and easy for field reps to use with little explaining.
Cons
The exporing of data is a little clunky and getting all of the tags and forms in place properly has been the biggest challenge. I also don't like how the billin works. I originally selected 3 licenses for my full time team and bought them for the entire year. I have since added some part-timers and was forced to purchase annually even when they only needed it for a few months. You need more flexiblity in your billing.
Response from Repsly
We're really glad you're finding Repsly helpful for ProYo Mike! We're currently working on providing more billing options for our customers, and we'll be sure to keep you posted as things go live.

Useful and Innovative Platform Marred by a Limited Feature Set and High Monthly Costs
This type of cloud-based software was exactly what I was looking for to manage my small team on a limited budget. I was able to set my small team up with only minimal assistance from Repsly's support contact. However, in order to get EXACTLY what I needed, I would have been pushed into the higher tier charge (and I only needed that ONE extra feature). Also, some of the functionality was JUST a few features shy of being useful to us.
Pros
Very User Friendly.
Easy Upload of Existing Location List
Easy Creation of Custom Forms
Cons
Pay Per Device Requirement (we have a technician team that alternates field time, therefore only require 1 account to be shared and used by whoever is in field)
Ability to ONLY fill reports out on a mobile device (I have reps who would find it easier to use their laptops)
High tiered costs
Response from Repsly
Hi Jared, we offer Ad-Hoc pricing to address exactly the billing concern that you stated below. We'll reach out to you to explore options for how your plan is set up. Thanks for all the kind words!

easy to use, update , make changes and overall use. As I train my other counterparts it takes them very little time to maneuver through the site and how much faster it is in our daily usage, plus the time it save every nite by not having to hand write our previous spead sheets.
Pros
the ease of use and the time it saves us
Cons
this not a con but we are looking into data plans for our I Pads which will allow us to send data on site.

Repsly Review
Repsly used to be very slow to load customers but the speed has greatly improved. I like the new function of finding nearby customers automatically, that speeds things up. Also being able to include pictures from my photo album is a nice improvement.
Pros
Helps me remember names, and product placements.
Cons
Some managers tend to rely too heavily on Repsly information for overall field rep management.

Quality service at its best
The App is easy to use. I like that you can use it on your phone or table. I no longer have to do reports on paper. Your work is submitted and that is the end of it:
Pros
I like the camera function. It doesn't take up space on your phone or tablet.
Cons
Some Reps gave issues with calls dropping.
Response from Repsly
Thanks Damita, we'd like to understand what you mean by 'calls dropping', so our support team will be in touch!

Started using this week on the back-end/admin side - overall very good!
The interface is very straight-forward and easy to use and efficiently quick, which is a huge plus - reps cannot complain that it takes too long to submit forms or check in, or that they do not understand how to use it.
It would be useful (at least for those I am overseeing) to have location tracking be mandatory in order for the app to work. We have some reps who like to pretend that the tracking magically turned off. If they can't use the app without tracking being on (and using the app is required), then this would eliminate that problem.
As far as I can tell so far, back-end information is only available on the web browser and not the app itself. It would be great if I could pull back-end info while in the field instead of having to wait until I get to a pc.
I've had trouble accessing one of our forms on the app itself (no issues see in browser), but haven't had time to reach out to Matthew yet - sure that it is an easy fix.
Response from Repsly
Thanks for the kind review Zoë! Matt will be in touch to help get your form issue resolved shortly.
