An easy-to-use project management solution with good stability and scalability
The recent update on the solution has made it a little bit complex. For example, to create a team and a project, there is a separate button that you need to click. Recently they updated it with only one button making it difficult for us to create teams or supply teams other than a project. Hence the solution could be more user-friendly. Additionally, some additional features need to be integrated so it'll be easy for other companies or project managers to manage software projects.

Enables us to consolidate data, quickly assess changes, and turn around quotes much faster
I wouldn't say there are any system issues. There are minor enhancements that we request from time to time, and the Campfire team collaborates with us on those. These enhancements are not system issues; rather, they are opportunities for us to learn how to utilize the system more effectively. As a result, we come up with requests to add different cost categories and additional reporting functionality. When I think about the system, I focus less on issues and more on how the Campfire client integrates it into their business processes and trains users to use it correctly. This integration is really the key point; it's all about how the client incorporates the product into their workflows. Regarding BI Reporting, the standard reporting module within Campfire Interactive primarily gives you an Excel data dump, and while there are some visualizations for creating dashboards, I found those limited for my needs. We started presenting the data to Microsoft Power BI, which is much better for generating the reports I want. The forecast accuracy of Campfire Interactive has been generally good, with no significant issues. However, there are some improvements we could make to achieve more granular data. For example, we have parts that are common to multiple vehicle programs, but the system does not allow for custom volume settings for each program. I've used other systems and each has its pros and cons. Campfire advantages include speed and an easy to use price table. One area for improvement would be the integration of actuals from our ERP systems. There is currently no interface within the Campfire application to assist with the alignment of actual ship records with the forecast part records.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The ease of use is valuable."
"The app functionality and ease of seeing the different functionalities parsed equally on the screen with consistent menu access to shift between areas."
"The ability to network informally is great for communicating with colleagues."
"What I appreciate most about Campfire Interactive is that it is very easy to update the interface."
"The most important feature from Campfire Interactive is its ability to work together with other different applications that we use in our company, and I think that's one of the best features it has."
"The forecast accuracy of Campfire Interactive works effectively and their role-based access controls are good."
"Campfire Interactive allows sales teams to manage forecasting in a more efficient, streamlined way, and the quoting portion flows directly into the sales forecasting, which allows for better data security and data accuracy for our sales forecasting and quote management in my day-to-day work."
"When it comes to opportunity management and sales forecasting, I have recommended Campfire Interactive to at least 10 companies over my career, including some of the largest Tier 1 automotive customer suppliers in the world. Different companies have adopted different aspects of Campfire Interactive and have been happy with the solution."
"Forecast accuracy in Campfire Interactive has saved time for the team that prepares the forecast."
"Campfire Interactive is going to be a huge success for Gentherm."
"I appreciate the flexibility of the company more than any specific software feature. I have worked with SAP and other software providers before, and since it is still a smaller company, there is a very personal exchange. If we have a simple need that does not require coding, the company is willing to make changes overnight or even within hours. They are truly flexible and customer-oriented."
 

Cons

"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"The product isn't easy to use. It's not very intuitive."
"Formalized area to store contact information indexed in a way that can pre-populate other areas would be helpful."
"Campfire Interactive can be improved as I would like a few things to be more user-friendly."
"It probably can be better for sure, but as of now, they are adapting to what I need to make my life better."
"They occasionally became overwhelmed, leading to slowdowns due to the busy workforce."
"The UI itself is not very user-friendly. The reporting out of it isn't very user-friendly either."
"Because we use a multitude of modules, some of the interactions from one module to the other are not as seamless or fluid. I would like to see some more fluidness from one module to the other."
"It could be a little bit more user-friendly."
"Enhancements for Campfire Interactive would be more reporting, better reporting, and better looking reporting."
"I can complete in Excel in an hour what might take me six hours in Campfire Interactive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Campfire Interactive is on the expensive side, with approximately $100,000 to $120,000 in expenses."
"I don't know the full scope of our subscriptions for all the modules, but from what I've seen before, it seems fairly expensive. The high cost may drive some potential clients to consider developing a homegrown solution internally if they have a competent finance group."
"It's fairly priced."
"We had a negotiation with them back in March of this year to extend our contract for 1 year. They were willing to work with us to negotiate different terms and a different cost of production. They were asking for a certain percentage increase, and we said that was not acceptable. They were willing to settle on a different number."
"Compared to everything else I have seen, it is very fair."
