Great customer service
The company knows how to do customer service. I have received multiple overseas calls asking if I had questions. The software has a lot of capabilities, and I feel I have only scratched the surface on usage. I would like to be able to do more financial tracking for farm income and expenses (ledger). Best feature is the ability to use the software "in the field" on my smartphone. Great product.
