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.

Good for reporting, but a little rigorous in its methodology and not conducive to real project management
It is a little rigorous in its methodology and is cumbersome. For example, I have a hard stop date and I would like a project to end by a specific date, but this is not how this solution works. It sorts of spits out the project date based on your resource availability, dependencies, and so on. This sort of project planning works in theory, but that's not always the case. It also relies heavily on resources entering their time into the system, that is, how much time they worked on each of the tasks so that it can sort of consistently update the project. I know that in a lot of organizations, including ours, it is almost impossible to get them to track the time. In terms of additional features, they can include more integration with Microsoft because integration is going to be a key functionality.

Pros

"Everything that we have needed from them, they have more than provided."
"Enhancing our commercial strategy has been a significant advantage, resulting in millions of dollars in additional revenue that our sales team has been able to achieve through effective planning."
"The accuracy of forecast since using Campfire Interactive is a really big positive, and now everybody is using one set of numbers, which has helped us improve our revenue forecasting projections by 50%."
"What I appreciate most about Campfire Interactive is that it is very easy to update the interface."
"Forecast accuracy in Campfire Interactive has saved time for the team that prepares the forecast."
"One thing I like the most about Campfire Interactive is that it's easy to create VRQs, which would be the highlight."
"Campfire Interactive automates all our data sets compared to the other software."
"The forecast accuracy of Campfire Interactive works effectively and their role-based access controls are good."
"Its dashboards and reports are the most valuable, and we are able to share these reports and other information with our leadership."
"The entire organisation is now on the same page, with one source of truth."
"LiquidPlanner is a great tool for Getting Things Done enthusiasts and project managers in general."
 

Cons

"They occasionally became overwhelmed, leading to slowdowns due to the busy workforce."
"I can complete in Excel in an hour what might take me six hours in Campfire Interactive."
"Enhancements for Campfire Interactive would be more reporting, better reporting, and better looking reporting."
"We still have not seen a return on investment because we are not fully implemented; we are still using two software systems and making the transition probably within the next month, so I cannot say for sure right now as that is still an ongoing process."
"One of the things I dislike regarding Campfire Interactive is the mass upload feature."
"Campfire Interactive lacks a built-in interface to manage shipment information, so we have to handle that outside the system."
"Campfire Interactive can be improved as I would like a few things to be more user-friendly."
"We just went through that last month, where we had reported data to our board of directors and then came to find out that some parts of the data were incorrect, which is really frustrating."
"Perhaps my only comment is that it is not cheap but in saying that, it is worth every penny."
"It is a little rigorous in its methodology and is cumbersome. For example, I have a hard stop date and I would like a project to end by a specific date, but this is not how this solution works. It sorts of spits out the project date based on your resource availability, dependencies, and so on. This sort of project planning works in theory, but that's not always the case.

"I'd like to see more power and triggers in the iOS app."
"It is a little rigorous in its methodology and is cumbersome."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's fairly priced."
"Compared to everything else I have seen, it is very fair."
"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."
"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."
