Cole Allen - PeerSpot reviewer
Dynamically updates IHS forecast data, but it's complicated and requires numerous improvements
There are numerous things they can do to improve the system, which I have communicated repeatedly. We just had our biweekly meeting with the team. Their customer service can be better. They're responsive when we have an urgent issue, but for a lot of the longer term things, such as adjustments we want made in the system or additions we want to be made, we see little to no progress. I do not prefer the role-based access controls in Campfire Interactive. The role-based system makes sense on paper, but a company such as ours, where people wear multiple hats and different people have multiple roles in some cases, makes it very difficult at times to assign the correct people in the process. I've asked for years to give me, as an admin in the system, the ability to ignore the role and just select the person I want assigned to a task, because the role-based system makes it way more complicated than that. The forecast accuracy of Campfire Interactive is usually good. It has helped us save time and costs. However, we have had issues, and actually are currently having issues where some of the take-rate numbers get messed up. When we load it in an IHS forecast, if a specific program in that forecast has added years, the take rates are not applied to those additional years. It ignores the prior input, which leads to errors and data that is not accurate. 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. The reporting works pretty efficiently, but it can be enhanced by Power BI, which they don't use. It's all Excel-based, which is functional and works. The pricing system, when you get it input, is good, but it is a lot of painful work to get the correct data. I have been working in the system for 3 years. We still have customers where we don't have the dynamic pricing set up, partially because that's our fault; we don't know everything that we should know. It's not entirely on Campfire Interactive, but when we get that information, it can be very difficult to translate it into the Campfire Interactive system and get it calculating properly.

Streamlines collaboration across teams and has a straightforward setup process
The platform initiates a series of processes to complete the sale, which may involve ordering equipment, providing services, and tracking necessary activities. The feature that has been most effective in improving sales performance is its alignment with the ordering team. Compared to my experience working with HubSpot, which excelled in presales and marketing but lacked integration with ERP and post-sales processes, NetSuite CRM+ stands out for its ability to streamline collaboration and information sharing across teams. It facilitates post-sales engagement by effectively providing visibility into the bill of materials and assigning responsibilities. The platform is not highly customizable like Salesforce. However, it offers sufficient flexibility for our requirements. I can easily create different views and reports and add widgets to my home screen as needed. I rate it an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I appreciate that Campfire Interactive has deep integration with SAP, which helps a lot."
"It fixed an issue where we are able to get all of our information in one spot. We have 23 different manufacturing plants whose systems do not communicate with each other. Campfire Interactive allowed us to bring all of our data into one platform."
"Campfire Interactive has saved us time because the data that we are collecting is the same."
"Campfire Interactive’s ability to manage data through business processes and workflows for your organization is good."
"Campfire Interactive is much better in terms of the dashboard and reporting."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Very scalable solution that provides customer relationship management, sales, and marketing functions. It's very straightforward to set up, and it supports multi-subsidiary organizations."
"NetSuite CRM+ helps us provide customer support and track schedules for field service."
"The feature that has been most effective in improving sales performance is its alignment with the ordering team."
"We use the product for standard CRM functions like email marketing, account management, scheduling customer profiles, and marketing materials, and for integration with the Suite Commerce."
 

Cons

"One aspect that could be simplified with Campfire Interactive is the process of entering opportunities into the portal. Currently, if we receive a quotation for 20 parts, we can enter one opportunity in our homegrown system that allows us to list all 20 parts within that single opportunity, but Campfire Interactive requires creating separate opportunities for each part."
"Because we use a multitude of modules, some of the interactions from one module to the other are not as seamless or fluid."

"Campfire Interactive lacks a built-in interface to manage shipment information, so we have to handle that outside the system."
"I do not prefer the role-based access controls in Campfire Interactive.

"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."
"There are times when we go to execute reports from their system, and the data does not generate as expected."
"I recently discussed with them the need for better KPI measurements in the automotive world. A big KPI in the automotive world is the bookings of the future years, and we measure that not in annual revenue but in the lifetime of any given vehicle."
"What could be improved in NetSuite CRM+ is its UI, because it's ugly. When you compare it to the Salesforce UI, the UI in Salesforce, particularly its reporting, looks better."
"The product needs to improve the warehouse management feature."
"The product or service could be improved by incorporating AI functionality to provide intuitive assistance."
"NetSuite's field service automation should be updated. We should be able to fully automate the assignment of service orders to technicians."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Campfire Interactive is on the expensive side, with approximately $100,000 to $120,000 in expenses."
"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."
"It's fairly priced."
"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 ultimately depends on the features and functionalities required for your specific use case."
"Compared to other tools, you have to pay for the NetSuite CRM+ module itself. You will pay a recurring fee regardless of how many users you have, then you will pay a fee per user, per month. Its cost is not a licensing cost per user, but a module cost and a user cost."
