> 
> **Pros**: easy and convinient, especifically the payment method
> 
> **Cons**: It just need to search the exact word to pop out the product that ive been looking for
>

### "Enabled us to run the shop with more authority" — 5.0/5

> **Tolga** | *15 April 2025* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I appreciated the real-time view of the status of the organization through the BOSS Board where I was able to monitor things such as, technician hours, tickets and part margins. It improved the means to supervise daily results and assisted in making fast decisions which directly affect the profits of the shop.
> 
> **Cons**: One weakness found in the part ordering feature is that it does not offer order tracking for backordered goods. If one is working with multiple suppliers, it is a little irritating to update each status by the time one is busy with lots of orders especially in busy moments.

### "Increased my shop’s effectiveness by using real time analytics" — 4.0/5

> **Ahmed** | *28 April 2025* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Due to Shop Boss I was able to track my shop performance in a far more efficient manner than before. Real-time information on revenue, productivity of technicians, and the customers assist me in making instant decisions. This has helped in pointing out areas requiring intervention and monitoring and evaluating the progress made.
> 
> **Cons**: I did experience little lags with regards to the update of the data. This gap sometimes left the staff struggling to get real-time data during the busy hours hence hampering their ability to make informed decisions.​
