    This phone service provides no service on their phone system and there are constant problems with faxing and getting and making calls. Horrible system and no service support. I would not recommend using them at all.

    The reason I signed on with Nextiva was because I wanted the caller ID to reflect my company name. They set the account up incorrectly. Then, told me I had to wait 3 weeks for it to be corrected. I never heard back so I followed up. Once I connected with the representative, I learned they requested to fix the caller ID on the incorrect number and I have to wait another 3 weeks. No thanks! I just terminated my contract and will look elsewhere.

    We have been clients for +7 years with Nextiva. Years of suffering dealing with weekly issues non stop. Customer support is awful, anything takes HOURS to get solved, and 90% it creates another issue on our network. They seem to be OK with saying "but we do solve it", yes but after our employees time on the other end waiting and following instructions. Our employees now refuse to deal with them, that is how bad the experience of all of them has been. Manager after manager, all have had their share of Nextiva PAIN. Now we are ready to switch and we are stuck with them for another 30 months as our contract is on auto renewal, each time for 30-36 months! I can't believe we ever agree to that. They won't even recognize their breach of contract by not providing a decent service.

    We signed up like many others on the pretense of great reviews and the sales representative promising us how quickly and easy it is to set up and use their service. That could not be further from the truth. It should’ve been a red flag right off the bat when the number we selected could not receive any calls. We could call out but nobody can call in. For a business this is disastrous. We contacted customer service several times each time the issue was not resolved with a seemingly flustered customer service rep confused as to why this was happening. They then changed the number we selected and claimed that’d resolve the issue and still issue is the same. Got our phone device in the mail and still same problem.

    Called to fix again and they again were “so confused as to why this is happening”. We are a small business we need one line and one fax. Not complex but clearly they can’t seem to even follow through on that promise. Of course we’re contracted for 2 year plan and now we have to pay for the remainder of the plan price as termination fees. Do NOT fall for their fake reviews!!! DO NOT use their service.

    One positive I will say is Nextiva's sales staff are great at their job. Their actual product and support fall far short of what is promised. Our install took over 8 months and had to be handled by a third party subcontractor who became as frustrated with their support as I was. Our business employs 80 staff members and we have a call center that takes over 1,500 calls a week. Until this day, a year in, almost every fix they have applied has reverted back to the original problematic issue.

    During the absolutely horrendous install, I attempted to contact upper management (the VP) who NEVER replied to my emails or phone calls. The salesman completely wiped his hands of us and keep referring me back to their horrible support staff. I was told that they run on two platforms. The old one and the "new and improved" one that they sold us. The problem with the new platform is the fixes keep reverting and they can't figure out why. Please pick another service. We will be eating the expense of changing companies in the near future.

    I had been using Nextiva for the past two years. While we initially had great customer service, it declined to be almost non-existent. We made the decision to switch providers as a necessity for our small business. It took three months for Nextiva to port the number to the new provider. Once the porting was finalized, we informed Nextiva that we would be terminating our service with them. They are charging us for two more years of service (will only discount 25%) because they say that the contract auto-renewed for another 2 years. There was no notice of auto-renewal or anything of the sort. Our monthly invoices always state that the next renewal date is the following month, making it appear that after the initial two year contract has expired that it is a month-to-month contract. This is an incredibly deceptive business practice. Buyer beware.

    We switched to Nextiva to avoid "connecting with Google Voice" and increase professionalism. Unfortunately it has been issue after issue with inability to receive calls. It has been 1 month now and we have only had 4 phone calls come through. It either does nothing...sounds like a fax machine....or goes directly to voicemail. We have spent countless hours on the phone or via chat with support to no avail. We are told the issue is fixed and then within a day the issue returns. After 1 month of issues and multiple contacts with support we are told they haven't finished porting our number to Nextiva and we won't have access to calls for the next 72 hours. Unacceptable. Businesses beware. We have lost 1000s of dollars and when they were informed they offered nothing in compensation and only said it would be another 3 days until they could fix the issue. What's next?

    So you guys you don't want their services.

    1. They gave me a Premium service And they charge me 20 some dollars I asked for a year contract Somehow their employee slid 24 months into the contract. I just had to service for one day and I was told that I would get the welcome package on package and a toll free number for free. They did not tell me about you had to pay for minutes for incoming calls And not just that anything after 1500 minutes I get charged. They never called me back and still waiting been a week by now.

    2. I asked for the express service. One of the employees charged my card for another $16. He also said that he will carry that $20 that I had over If I do not try to get out the contract. Then he told me to try this express service out before before I opt out of the contract. They was going to charge me $47 some change and I told him what about the money I just paid you guys $30 some dollars. They wasn't hearing it. Now they don't want to give me my refund back or cancel contract and want me to pay out the 24 months. Guys trust me they not good.

    3. I did not rate them a 1 star. I had to rate so I can leave a review, I rate them a 0.

    Nextiva company offered VoIP Phone that are supposed to connect to WiFi. The representative guaranteed that these phones do have WiFi and that I only need to plug them in to power and set up. When I received the phones, it did not have the ability to connect to Wifi. I called Tech Support and was told that I needed a wifi dongle. I explained there was no Wifi dongle sent with the package. I was then transferred to Customer Relations spoke to Terry. Per Terry the dongle is an additional charge and that we need to purchase the dongles required. I expressed this capability was guaranteed to me when I made the purchase and signing of the contract. That's the whole point of me signing the contract and getting the phones.

    When I asked to cancel the contract Nextiva is charging $660 for an "early termination fee". There has been no service provided and we just received the phones. We have not even started using their service. Nextiva is unfortunately unwilling to work with us to meet the expectations that we signed up for. With canceling they would still charge us $660 for an "early termination fee" with no service provided. This is a "Bait and Switch" operation. I ordered and signed up for "Wifi voip phones". When I received the phones, they did not have WiFi and was told that I need to purchase more equipment to make it Wifi. Cancelation even before service is provided would be charged an early termination fee.

    We are a small business and need an additional number on 2 cell phones to run our business. We were in need of an upgrade from Grasshopper and the Nextiva Sales Agent promised us a service that simply doesn't work. I paid for a year via a contract, upfront for 3 lines even though I only need to connect 2 devices via the app. The 3rd line was to give both cell phones TXT capability. I can't even receive phone calls let alone the ability to text out. I have spent hours of time on hold waiting for "customer" service. I thought this would be an upgrade from Grasshopper and it certainly is not. I will be holding them accountable for not upholding their end of the deal.

    We made a mistake in transferring our service to Nextiva. At the end of the second-month contract, I called to ask when our service would be activated and, most importantly, when our old business phone number transferred. After a usual ten minutes on hold, the representative returned, saying that I needed to fill up some papers. After that, it could take another 45 days to have our number transferred and activated. I canceled our service and demanded a refund for what was now three months charged without the promised service. Now, seven months later, we realized the contract not only wasn't canceled, but they have been charging us for 7 months, going into the 8th after we canceled it 5 months ago.

    Today, I called to speak with a manager looking for an explanation, and most importantly, the total refund of the funds I consider to have been stolen by them. After one hour and twenty-five minutes explaining the whole story to two representatives and after admitting to be an awful situation, the Customer Retention representative just refused to transfer me to a manager, just refused, “ no, I will not transfer you, period!” Worse yet, using an excuse to find a solution, she put me on hold for another 11 minutes and came back with an offer: If I stayed with them as a customer, she would refund one of the seven months they stole from us, but, only if I continue with the service, yes, the service they never delivered; otherwise, there was nothing she could do… other than, of course, enjoy our free money they collected for seven months!

    After informing them that I would speak with our bank and block any future payments, she threatened to send our account to collections for non-payment! In my opinion, they are UNSCRUPULOUS THIEVES, trained to steal from you! STAY AWAY FROM THESE CON ARTISTS! Protect yourself and your money from their LACK OF MORALS and HONESTY. Find a reputable and decent company. NEXTIVA is not one of them!.

    I've never worked with a company so bent on selling trash. Nextiva reps will tell you whatever they need to in order to make a sale, but as soon as you're out of onboarding - you are ON YOUR OWN. No issues will be fixed, and if the service doesn't work then you'll just have to deal with it! They do not respond to cases, and if they do - they will give you some benign instructions and ignore any further communication from you. Their app does not work on Android devices, their desktop app works occasionally. The actually physical desktop phones work fairly well, aside from the numerous dropped calls each day. Again, we've given them every opportunity to resolve our issues and they've just lied, ignored us, and basically sold us trash that we can't even use. BEWARE OF NEXTIVA!

    I wish I would have seen this page and the reviews here before signing with Nextiva. Everything they say it’s true. I called and spoke with a sales associate, I specified exactly what I needed and by when I needed it. I was reassured that it was no problem, so I went ahead and signed the contract. Barely 24hrs later the Implementation Team calls to let me know 1. The contract is written wrong and does not cover what I need and 2. Instead of the promised 2 weeks to get everything moved over I was told it would be a minimum of 6 weeks, meaning my old contract would have expired by then leaving me without a phone.

    I called the sales person back and asked to cancel my contract, I was promptly told that it wasn’t his job to do that and that I needed to call the cancellation department. I did that and was told, there is no grace period and the only way to get out of the contract is to pay the full amount. Unfortunately I don’t have that kind of money to waste, so I kept going with the transfer, has the process continues to move forward I have found more and more issues that have made work slower and more difficult.

    I now have to use a separate company for Telehealth and a separate company for texting our Clients because the Desktop App does not allow for texting outside of the group. I also had to pay for an additional month of my old service because of how long everything took. I’ve tried talking to them and trying to figure out a way to end the contract, but it’s not even taken into consideration. All I have to say is, this is the worst decision I’ve made for my business, and reading all the other reviews it appears I’m not alone.

    My day is currently taken up from 8 am to 5pm trying to handle the phones being down over and over again. Our receptionist's phone can't make or receive calls. The escalation engineer told her that her router was the issue. She's been working at home with that router for the last two years with no issue until Dec. Now I have an employee's phone die almost EVERY SINGLE DAY. We log these. And we can't leave our contract because it auto renews with no chance of cancellation or even removing lines that you're no longer using. The customer service is fine, but they can't help the fact that the product they're supporting is garbage. Oh, also, the UI on their dashboard sucks and hasn't been updated in 7 years.

    We switched over systems in December. Three weeks later we still can’t get things working. They blame the problems on our cellphones and internet that never hand problems before. Call quality is subpar. Sales has to hang up and call back on another line to get a good connection. The first week calls didn’t even go through costing us thousands in lost revenue and angry customers. It’s been a nightmare.

They do not tell you about all of the changes that you will need to make in regards to internet and current phone system before their equipment will work. They have very high turnover so reaching your rep will simply not happen. I finally got a supervisor's name-Gary ** who I have called now 6 times with no response.

    (Nextiva Lie #1) I talked with James **. He was the sales rep that promised me excellent customer service. (Truth) My staff was on hold for hours trying to work with them. It was near impossible to get someone on the phone and when we did they were generally clueless. I personally was on the phone for over 2 hours attempting to cancel. They would not promptly return emails or calls and it was difficult scheduling appointments.

    (Nextiva Lie #2) He also promised that we had a 30 day out clause. Meaning after 30 days of using the Nextiva service we could cancel at any time. He promised me (I mean he lied to me) and explained that we'd be able to use the service for 30 days. This was very important because we are a medical facility and I needed to try the Nextiva phone service to ensure that it was functional and reliable for patient care.

    (The Truth) Well, their onboarding process was awful! It took them over 30 days and we were not even onboarded yet. The experience was so bad that I canceled the service. However, Katie (who was actually very nice) explained to me that her "leadership" told her my 30 days started from the moment on signed the agreement not the moment the phone service was up and running. She stated I'd have to pay over $12,000 to cancel the contract.

    Called in April to cancel account. Was informed that the process will take time and I might see charges on my account however when the cancellation is processed the payments would be refunded. After 3 months of charges and notification for a charge for month four I called to inquire. Was informed no case had been opened, the account was still active and no refund could be given. Finally an email was sent immediately for cancellation, which means this was intentionally not done initially. Requested call back from management. However these are poor business practices. I will never do business with this company again and will notify anyone I come in contact with of the experience and better options. People need to know about this company.

    Getting an agent to sell you services is the easiest part of their program. They talk a big talk and make you feel good but they fall short on customer service. Email service requests fall on deaf ears and you need not expect a reply when filling out their service request. It took me three calls to their service center to get my fax line straightened out only to find out they leased out my fax line to another client. I am an IT professional and I signed up for their referral service -- I have yet to receive any checks for the clients I had installed services from them with. I have contacted them several times on this without replies.

    One of my clients has been waiting over 30 days to get an incorrect default caller ID phone number corrected when they make calls. It still shows the initial number that Nextiva gave them. They have a function called 'Call Flow' that is supposed to route calls to your business. Although I have set up mine three times it fails to work properly. They have an app for mobile phones and mine has frozen up and refuses to open with errors. I tried to get service on it but they are clueless about getting it to work properly. Not sure where they get their reviews from but it isn't from real clients.

    Free always comes with a catch. We made the switch to Nextiva from Comcast VOIP in the beginning of 2021. The catch was 3-free months and free VOIP desk-phone devices. From the beginning we felt pressured by the sales team to sign the contract by a pushy Cloud Communication Specialist. We have had issue after issue with getting resolves to the MANY issues consisting of but not limited to: Malfunctioning free devices, horrible response time to issues with the setup and configure of our VOIP lines of service, incorrectly shipped devices to locations other than our office, broken promises of contacting us back with resolutions to ongoing issues concerning our new devices, being up-charged for devices + shipping charges to replacements for the free devices. The Sales Manager says they will contact us back and that they are 'looking into' for us and we get 0 response for days and almost weeks on end.

    Be very careful before signing any contracts with this company, our IT person said this company was a great company to have service from, not true. Maybe that was before COVID times. From our experiences, Nextiva's customer service, response time and resolving of issues has totally gone down the drain. The only positive thing I can say is that we have had solid VOIP phone service from them with no issues on that front. We really should have shopped around further before signing up with this company. Beware consumers - remember to do your homework before choosing a company such as Nextiva, if you sign with them be prepared to be most certainly disappointed over and over on response time and resolving of issues.

    Be sure to read the fine print and be warned – I do not recommend signing a contract with Nextiva! As a small business owner, I would highly recommend sourcing another digital phone provider that delivers reliable phone service, easy to reach tech support, plan flexibility, competitive pricing and most importantly, the option to cancel if the service does not function properly or meet your current business needs. Almost immediately after switching to Nextiva, we regretted our decision. When originally comparing phone providers, we now realize our first warning sign should have been Nextiva’s sales department pressuring us into a 3-year contract by offering a date sensitive promo on monthly rates.

    When we first began using Nextiva, all our locations had significant issues with call quality. Our team had trouble logging into Nextiva’s online platform and the call audio was so poor that we couldn’t hear many customers through all of the static. Daily calls to Nextiva service were often needed for multiple team members at multiple locations. Beyond customers lost and team hours wasted, even calling Nextiva’s tech support was made more difficult since anyone calling tech support was required by Nextiva to be an account admin.

    Key members of our leadership team have been constantly burdened with Nextiva service issues and have spent countless hours attempting to troubleshoot Nextiva’s problematic platform on their own since calling and emailing support seldom yielded any resolution. In addition to countless leadership hours wasted on internal troubleshooting, our company has initiated hundreds of support requests over our first 2 years of service with Nextiva. Nextiva’s service never improved for us during these years, so we have no hope that it will improve anytime soon.

    During the COVID pandemic when our locations were closed for several months, including some which never reopened, Nextiva would not offer any assistance by pausing monthly fees or even reducing the number of lines in our contract. We were forced to pay for services that could not be used during an unbelievably difficult time for small businesses. Except for Nextiva, all our other service vendors were flexible.

    Nextiva has been a constant source of frustration for our team, and we feel this has very likely contributed to employee burn out. I personally experienced many of the same call quality issues and stopped using the platform because it was so infuriating. Poor call quality has also likely contributed to irreparable damage to our brand as customer calls are so frequently dropped or missed due to Nextiva’s problematic online platform and phone app.

    To summarize: we are locked into a 3-year Nextiva service contract with no apparent accountability from Nextiva in terms of service and call quality. We are still 1 year from being free of Nextiva, yet all 3 years have been a complete waste of money and team resources. YEAR 1: consistently terrible call quality and tech support. YEAR 2: multiple lines could not be used for most of the year due to COVID, then Nextiva’s phone service was even more problematic with our remaining team members working from home to keep our business alive with a heavy dependence on the phone. YEAR 3 is just beginning and we can’t move away from Nextiva fast enough, yet we are being forced to pay out for the last year due to an unfair contract that has no remedy for Nextiva service not functioning properly. Please don’t make the same mistake we did and get trapped by Nextiva!

UPDATE - After speaking Sarah-Ann M. **, the representative that contacted me after my initial review, she assured me that she could not give a credit for these problems until it was fixed, and all she needed was one conversation between her tech and our internet service provider. We facilitated this, and after 2.5 hours, surprise surprise - it still does not work. Sarah-Ann called today asking for "one more" one more time to fix it. After that, it still did not work. Now, they just want to stop the phone service, no credit, no compensation for the months of bad service.

    Without offering a long-winded explanation, here are the salient points: The Nextiva salesman, in his haste to gain our business, stated our existing phone system was compatible with their product when 1st discussing doing business with them. It was not. We were handicapped for over THREE WEEKS without any VOIP as they first tried to obfuscate and deny their employee's negligence, then scrambled to send us compatible phones (admittedly free of charge.)

    Contract expired after 14 months. We chose to not renew, due to poor customer support and less-than-easily accessible tech (as well as the deceptive salesmanship noted above). Despite our unporting from them at the time the contract expired and the fact we have no phone lines active with them, they have continued to bill us, stating that as we did not notify them expressly via email the contract was automatically renewed. To cancel a contract we never agreed to renew, they stated they would charge us over $1,200USD.

    Nextiva's terms and services are accessed via a link that leads to a section of their website - i.e.: they can change the terms to your contract anytime they please. They have done this with us regarding the automatic renewal....And lastly, I call into question the glowing five-star reviews you find regarding this company here and on the web in general. The voice of the writers is far too similar and polished in tone. Grammatically correct to a degree consistently too high when compared to other customer reviews for other companies. Strongly suspect they spend large amounts of $$$ to generate false-positive PR for their company.

    I reviewed this company's site and liked the product to reach out to sales both an easy process. Based on conversations figured I would try them out. To my dismay after signing a year contract and using the product for 5 minutes I came concerned with my decision.

    1. Support hold times are long, response times from email are longer. Limited live support not 24/7 as site indicates. Called once was placed on hold for an hour and learned when the agent returned I was holding because he was having electrical issues at home not because he was attempting to fix the issue.
    2. Text is SMS only. In order to use this "feature" you have to call support and have them activate it. You have to create a contact on the desktop app (I'm ex **) for the ability to send the SMS. This is the most non-user friendly part of the system.
    3. Phone app opens to chat and the app is clunky, slow and offers a poor flow.
    4. CRM is very very limited. You cannot create simple webforms for customers to contact, you cannot integrate anything other than email. No webhooks or APIs making this feature absolutely useless.
    5. Everything has its own login. Want to use vFax, not simple. You have to login to vfax. Can't fax from desktop or app. Need to listen to a recorded call? Or Need to monitor a call? Not from a webapp but a different site altogether.
    6. Total lack of administrative control to get the most out of the system Nextiva support has to "build" program phones, certain functions all have to go through the world's slowest support center.

    7. Empty promises, need something done prepare yourself for an excuse or get promoted to escalations for more excuses. No action just words and they truly take the customer out of customer service.

    This is my opinion you might have a better experience but they are a beta in a world of well seasoned Saas platforms.

Instead, he demanded that we conduct a 15-20-minute interview (!) about MY business BEFORE he could advise me what their pricing would be. He was also unconventionally rude, something that one can very rarely see in the service industry. I personally have not experienced this kind of behavior in my 20+ years in business. If this is how this company sells their services and approach potential customers, I am definitely not in their customer archetype. I hope other business owners thinking about contacting this company will find this review useful and could save their time shopping elsewhere for their VOIP needs.

    Nextiva boasts about great quality service and a passion for it. Not one person has ever called me to apologize for all the issues and problems I've had. the bottom line is the system is unreliable and it's impossible to get a simple issue like changing a password resolved immediately. I don't know why it says call customer service, It's impossible to explain this all in one complaint. I started with Nextiva back in April a 2019 with 5 users hoping to expand it, 25 users. The problem is is that there have been so many glitches in the back office that require a higher level ticket to resolve. These errors keep you from adding new users, changing passwords, allowing users to access the leads. The most important thing about a business phone CRM it's attached to my phone app is that the customer can access the phone, link it to the CRM point and dial, then update the notes.

    Most recently, we were calling from the CRM for the users that actually could access the CRM. But when we tried to update the notes in the system it would say sorry cannot update the notes try again later so what happens is you are typing and updating things as you go along and you try to save them and it won't save them. That means all that work that you did on the phone with the customer, all the notes that you took, all the new information that you receive from them is lost. It's very frustrating. For example, for over 30 days I could not add a new user because there was some type of a visual bug in the system. Or at least that's what I was told. after 30 to 40 days I finally was able to add a new user. Now the user that I've added cannot log into the CRM because we cannot change his password. I can certainly take the leaves and put them into an Excel spreadsheet and have him click and die from that.

    Then you have all sorts of data issues, security issues and the clients information is accessible by too many people that don’t belong with. The second issue is that when I add someone it's very difficult to get them to log in and access. These issues take hours sometimes to work through. Right now I've been on hold for about 15 minutes waiting for them to resolve an issue. Here's what it is the user can't change his password and as the administrator, I can't change it either. So he can't access the CRM to call the leaves that I've given him in order for him to make money. But the whole time I'm being billed for his hourly rate.

    Question mark this as you've been waiting So how is that fair? Nextiva seems to operate on a type of ticket system when there's an issue they created a ticket and they assign it to somebody. Apparently their performance is based on resolving tickets not solving the client’s ticket. The concept of outstanding customer service deals with how they deal with tickets not really with the issue. Since May almost 6 months now I've been dealing with issues that are not being able to access the CRM and add new users when I can. It takes way too much time to add users and to resolve issues. Time is money in the situation. Everyone's being paid well the system doesn't work. So I just spent 45 minutes on the phone not resolving my issue but being told a ticket was created and someone would try to fix the problem.

    I have been a Nextiva Efax customer for years. I wanted to change VOIP providers and saw their great reviews and decided to try them. I have no idea how good their VOIP is because after more than a week I can't get my assigned area codes correct in order to even test the VOIP. They do not answer their phone. While on hold they say to press a button to receive a callback. They do not call back. I submit an online request and I don't get a reply for two days. Then when they do reply they must have not even read the request since I had to respond with the same details.

    After another 5 days I get a notice that my account has been changed. I go to look and find that I have an additional line. At least the new line is a correct area code but I should only have 4 not five lines and I still only have 2 lines with correct area codes. My office assistant says when she has talked to Nextiva the people she has talked to have poor command of the English language. I tried to cancel in hopes of getting some action by sending an email to the original person that sold me the system and no response. My next step is to be to dispute the credit card charge.

    Our salesman was good, and made us believe the service would "never go down, short of a natural disaster." They are local for us and said even construction in the area of their office cutting through wires didn't take them down. The porting was fast, we had to reach out to them for training, and learned enough to get started as they set everything up for us. In the first week we had 2 outages for HOURS! One of which was the busiest time of our day! There was absolutely no communication that their server was down, we found out on our own. Not all customers were affected, so how is it that we were TWICE!?

    When the product works it works well, hence the second star, but how can we stay with them after this? They are supposed to have backup cloud servers, so they all went down? Meanwhile we have lost money since we are a service company and can't afford to miss hours of calls! Nextiva showed a bit of empathy but no explanation or solutions, and didn't even follow up with us after talking to their CS during the outage.

    We went for a big bang approach, and implemented all the modules of NextOS that were available at the time transitioning all our communication technology over to Nextiva. It was a big change, but their rollout approach was really well thought out and our staff managed the change really well – I was very impressed with both Nextiva and our staff. One thing that helped our staff be onboard with the change was they could see how much easier this technology was going to make their jobs. For our staff dealing with customers, it immediately made their job easier as there was one system which handled all customer communications. For their managers, their job became easier as reporting was improved tenfold, and all the information could be grabbed out of the one system as opposed to having to go to multiple systems to try work out how their team was performing.

    As a business owner, I am most interested in performance and efficiency, so these tools have met my requirements too. It really is a great system – when we first began talking to Nextiva they made bold claims about what it could deliver, but it really is as good as they say. Mostly because it’s a single platform that’s been really well set out. The front end user experience is really good; the platform looks clean, and it works well – there hasn’t been any lag or downtime so far in our experience. It also is really user friendly, and a lot of the things we need to do from an administrative perspective we can self-manage which makes it a lot faster for us.

    From a staff perspective, we were able to get rid of a lot of manual steps that were required using our old (multiple) systems, and that saving has supported our growth as we have been able to scale up again without having to bring on new staff.
