support has been really good
We’re just kick starting it right now. It’s going pretty good. Pricing was fair. Support has been really good. We like it’s ability to track on the inventory side and especially with the building side. We do so many different products. I sell things for KG per liter per unit and I blend for KG and I blend in different quantities depending on different customers and just having each customer have their own portal is great. Those are the biggest things for us.
