From take customer orders to producing labels for publications. Anything you want you can do, if the software cannot then it can interact with third party > > **Cons**: It is quite costly for the support that is offered and the software can get quite complicated when doing certain tasks. > > Overall for the publishing industry, this is a good piece of software that will get the job done with some slight complications but the positives outweigh the negatives. ----- ### "27 Years and Counting" — 5.0/5 > **Caryn** | *3 April 2025* | Events Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Having a support desk that’s not only quick to assist but also involves knowledgeable developers when necessary is a significant plus, especially for an organization with complex, long-term software usage. It really underscores their role as a business partner, rather than just a vendor, which has contributed to a 27-year relationship. This type of continuity and reliability is rare and seems to have built a strong foundation of trust. The addition of the integrated e-commerce system, particularly the ability to set up new promotional landing pages quickly, created excitement in meeting our marketing goals. > > **Cons**: The cost and length of time to do an upgrade. > > AdvantageCS has built a strong and dependable partnership with our company over the years. The software’s adaptability to our changing ownership structures and its ongoing updates support evolving business needs, both in physical and digital products. The fact that they consistently analyze market trends and adjust to meet the needs of a diverse customer base demonstrates a proactive approach, which is crucial for long-term success. ----- ### "ACS review" — 4.0/5 > **mark** | *10 March 2015* > > Advantage software is very sophisticated and flexible which is great but comes at a cost. Users really have to understand how to utilize the features in order to take full advantage, no pun intended, of its capabilities. So far the best system on the market for fulfillment processing. We currently use the CIR, PRO, and in a few months, the AMB modules. Once you have used the system for a few weeks consistently the interface is very user friendly and navigation is easy and painless. The new .NET version of the software is very intuitive and easy to pick up but again, you have to use it consistently. Company itself is great, very dedicated to their product and customer base. Communication is very transparent and engineers know their stuff, when they don't they are honest enough to fess up and try to find someone else that can help. The company has grown in the recent 1-2 years and recently we have had trouble getting engineers that understand and appreciate how customers use the system, hopefully this immaturity will pass quickly, but it is the price of engaging new younger talent. ----- ### "Advantage is the best fulfillment system I have worked with and the AUG user group conference is an amazing experience\!" — 5.0/5 > **Chasady** | *24 March 2025* | Publishing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Advantage is really progressing to meet the needs of our business with improved functionality and features that help maintain our fulfillment system. > > **Cons**: I don't like all of the scrolling required to see everything in the views. > > We have had Advantage for decades and it continues to meet our needs. I love networking with other Advantage users at AUG every year. I learn a lot and am able to share a lot of info making it a great team collaboration for learning and maximizing Advantage to its full potential. ----- ### "Senior Operations Associate" — 4.0/5 > **Denise** | *6 March 2025* | Publishing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: There really isn't anything particular, other than Advantage has a lot of functionality I wish our company would utilize more. > > **Cons**: The ability to have more customization per user would be nice. > > My experience with Advantage has always been good. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/472002/Advantage?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/472002/Advantage) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
