User Reviews of Wherefour
Write a Review
There is no phone support or chat function
It is very easy to onboard and get started, but definitely run it through its paces with scrutiny and detail before committing.
Pros
It's inexpensive
Cons
It takes 24 hours to receive an email back on support, even on critical support. There is no phone support or chat function to contact support. They only correspond with you via email. They don't consider anything critical, even a system down. The supposed integration to QuickBooks Online does not work. This includes integration for vendors, customers, invoices, and PO's which makes these processes extremely manual. The development team does not appear to be very robust. There is no app in the App Store. There is no account manager assigned to clients and no process for requesting development or enhancements. When requesting any type of functionality, the request is treated as an inconvenience and not valued.
