Geelus

Owner / Manager

Vorteile:

“Geelus is “THE SOFTWARE FOR TAILORS!” Since we started using geelus in 2008 we are truly on top of our business. We know if we have made a progress since the previous year, we know if we need to advertise more, we know which one of our employees are performing better and we’ve never gone back to the pen and paper. I can see the new orders in the system even when I’m driving (although it's not legal anymore;)) We don’t worry about any backups or where the data is stored. IT JUST WORKS. I truly recommend it to all clothing alterations and tailors specially if you are like us an agent for a dry cleaner!

Nachteile:

I can't think of any really. Their original software's full version used to work only on my Mac and PC but their new one works like a magic on my mobile phone and tablet too. We've actually added a new tablet to serve our customers faster. Very cost effective.

What I Needed!

Vorteile:

I am a one-person home-based business and I love that Geelus gives me the ability to automate many of the tasks I was doing manually such as scheduling and confirming bookings, sending order completion s and messages and sending invoices.

Nachteile:

I would love it if Geelus could integrate with my Google calendar.

Easy to use Program

Kommentare: I just used this software's Free Trial --- there is definitely a lot of great use and features to running a dry cleaning type business. There were a lot of features that didn't apply to my apparel service business so I decided not to continue using it. For a business with several steps, or processes, including working with others, this software will allow for better productivity.

Vorteile:

You can track most aspects of running your dry cleaning or alterations or service business, including employees, work orders, projects and timelines, charging and receiving payments. I like how you can send emails to your clients. And also you can keep track of employees tasks and how an item is moving along.

Nachteile:

The software was not very compatible with my computer and tablet. The programs shut off during use. Also, I did not like the interface, overall design.

100% Recommended

Kommentare: The support is extremely communicative and helpful in solving problems and answering queries, supporting ourselves and our franchisees. Some of our franchisees use the system to track the productivity of each employee, manage corporate accounts, quote on complex jobs and others use it as a sophisticated cash register – in our business one size does not fit all and Geelus provided that adaptability.

Vorteile:

Alter- It is a franchise chain of 22 Clothing Alteration and Dressmaking stores located throughout metropolitan Melbourne, in the state of Victoria, Australia. When we set up the franchise business in 2002, we formed a relationship with a point-of-sale supplier, who offered a program owned in the USA. In early 2020, we were informed that the US Company had changed hands and that we had 6 months to find an alternate POS supplier. This major crisis led us to finding Geelus. Our early conversations with Geelus were focused on ensuring that our franchisees would be given considerable freedom in running their own business, setting their own prices, and managing their own reporting and information demands. As a Franchisor and Head Office we wanted access to all the information, but we did not want the management function of each system to be our responsibility. We specifically wanted to “liberate the franchisees to achieve what they each wanted from the POS beyond the minimum functionality of writing a ticket and customer collection of garments. Geelus immediately understood what we wanted and then were very proactive in working with us and our franchisees to deliver the outcome.

Nachteile:

Change is always challenging, and many of our franchisees had used the previous system for many years. Adapting was a challenge but Geelus were supportive, in particular, the support team, in Australia. Our only regret is not switching sooner...

A versatile system that adapts to your business, not the other way around

Vorteile:

The most impactful feature for our business was the structure of how items and services are set up to show all necessary information on the orders and on the tags. The structure is able to handle dry cleaning, laundry, tailoring, alterations and shoe repairs all at once! Which eliminates room for error. Customer service was very experienced and fast. The transition over to Geelus went so smoothly that I didn't have to lift a finger! Shout out to [SENSITIVE CONTENT]

Nachteile:

I actually found out about Geelus before Cleancloud, but I chose cleancloud because Geelus' design and branding seemed old (no offense), so I went with CleanCloud. I think Geelus needs a new logo and a refresh on the interface! I also tried Cleantie for a month and it seemed nice but it doesn't come close to Geelus. I wish Geelus would have an open API!

Great value software with excellent customer service!

Kommentare: Geelus is doing a great job in front counter. It helps me to professionally serve my customers with the flexibility in customize the print template, automated actions, register,... Although there are something that need to be improved, so far, I am very happy with this purchase and recommend this product!

Vorteile:

- Great value - Excellent customer service: all my questions are responded within a few hours. - Flexible to customize your needs: you can create new print template that you need, freely add in new items and prices and a ton of things... Just me a little bit patient, exploring and creative.

Nachteile:

1/ Rack location should be added in as it is a very important function for laundry business. Currently I have to create Extra-field to add the rack location. 2/ Scanner function: Geelus is able to work well with Scanner. Currently it helps to read the barcode from customer receipt more conveniently. I wish it can be improved more. Such as: if my rack location is coded, I can use the scanner to scan the barcode on the store receipt and then scan the rack location by myself without the need to return to the computer. With the existing function, I need one person to scan the barcode on store receipt and filing the clothes, another person staying with computer to select extra field to enter rack location, following the instruction from the 1st person.

Best costumer service!

His former college [sensitive content hidden] just recently helped me set up another business program and I’m very thankful to have so much support. They definitely made it easy for me. So much thanks to them!

Problem solver

Kommentare: Overall I'm very happy with Geelus. It's exactly what I was looking for.

Vorteile:

The system is very convenience and my customers are giving me great reviews about the text messages I send them for their orders. Now my invoicing is very professional, my appointments are automated and customers love the reminders. The entire system is great!

Nachteile:

The appointment cancellation is not supported yet but they promised it'll be there soon.

Great System for our Laundry Shop

It’s versatile, easy to use and it caters to most of my reporting need. I can design product easily

Probably the interface needs a little bit of updating

It's helped with tracking orders and growth of the business

So far am happy with everything. I haven't had a any issues

Great Software

Kommentare: Happy with the software for what im using it for.

Vorteile:

I like the price of the software and the ease of use it offers.

Nachteile:

Some of the designs could be improved/updated

Every thing you need.

Kommentare: this is the best software on the market. I have used QuickBooks and all kinds of other invoice programs. This is by far the best. you have everything you need to run your business . I love it.

Vorteile:

what I love most is that they call to make sure you understand how to set up (a real live person) and also the walk you thru each step. No question is to small or go unanswered. [sensitive content hidden] is the best. I left the call feeling like I got this and the software is very user friendly.

Nachteile:

There is nothing that I did not like. only if I had found them sooner. This is a life changing moment in my business.

Perfect for small alterations and dry cleaners shops

Kommentare: I couldn't find anything better, it's everything needed and more.

Vorteile:

So very easy to use. Mostly intuitive, but backed up with good help topics. Anything you can't find, pop on a ticket and you get a call very quickly with friendly, knowledgeable help. Highly recommend this software.

Nachteile:

In the set up phase I made a few mistakes, which lost my set up a couple of times, duplicated everything another. Support was a great help and quickly resolved this though.

Amazing POS from Geelus

Kommentare: Fantastic POS system, we use it every day and it makes my job so much easier

Vorteile:

Easy to use, great communication from Geelus, everyday use and simple to change with price increases and adding items

Nachteile:

Setting up the printer was very hard but Geelus was a great help.

Powerful tool for managing any business

Kommentare: My overall experience with Geelus has been excellent so far and I truly appreciate it.

Vorteile:

I have been using Geelus for about 11 years while managing prestige alterations and I should say it rocks! The support is amazing, the staff are nice and friendly and right to the point. I used to use their old software till last year and switched to their new one. Now, not only it automatically sends text messages to the customers, if we don't get a chance to do the job on time, we can send another message to delay the collection day or for anything else. I love the flexibility of their new app a lot and of course using it on iPad is really cool!

Nachteile:

If it was 10 years ago there might have been some cons but nothing I can think of now. Specially since I switched to their new app, because of the new referral system it's bringing us heaps of customers and builds the relationship upfront.

Awesome POS for Sewing Businesses!

Kommentare: This is my second business that I have used the software with and I would recommend it to any sewing/drycleaning business!

Vorteile:

I love the ease of keeping track of customer accounts, business sales, as well as employee management. Saves lots of time and money. Also printed receipts are much more professional than written. Customer service is top notch!

Nachteile:

I wish the program was simpler so I could set up on my own but the remote assistance from support staff makes up for this.

Geelus service

Kommentare: My experience with Geelus is AAA over 100%.

Vorteile:

Jose Rosario I've been using Geelus for over 5 years. These guys have been great, technical support [SENSITIVE CONTENT] has been great and understanding. He goes extra miles to make sure to accomplish what I need. That's unreal technical support.

Nachteile:

It's easy to use, reliable, modern, cool interface.

Great for Dry Cleaning, Clothing and Laundry companies

Kommentare: First class. Its literally changed we work for the better

Vorteile:

This software has made my life so much easier. We are able to run a very smooth operation with great features for the customer, my staff and management tools. Geelus regularly update it features and listens to its customers suggestions. Highly recommended. Their customer service is excellent, often replying to emails in minutes [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] is a great asset for this company

Nachteile:

none that i can think of after 4 years!!

Geelus made it all possible

Kommentare: Excellent experience and we love it.

Vorteile:

I’ve been in the industry for over 44 years and I’ve never seen a software as good as this one. As someone who specializes in dry-cleaning and has served Sydney Olympics 2000, this is by far the perfect solution to not only increase productivity but also measure employees’ performance and track the business anytime, anywhere!

Nachteile:

Nothing! This software has helped us since 2012. Unlike other applications, this app has consistently helped us everyday with no issues what so ever.

Best POS out there!

Kommentare: I’ve been using Geelus Since 2013. The interface is nice, clean and easy to learn but different from the software I was using before. Employees can easily learn it in a few minutes. It’s been a very reliable system and I’ve been managing both of my stores using Geelus. The fact that I can set up my store the way I want it really helps. Anytime I need help someone is available to call and provide a great support and training. The feature that I love is being able to connect to my businesses on any computer anywhere I am. My customers love Geelus because of the order ready text message right on their cellphones. Flawless. Highly recommended.

Vorteile:

My costumers love their order ready texts or emails. Easy to setup and program. Great customer service (if you ever need it).

Nachteile:

Don't know. No complaints so far. We all love it

GOULBURN DRIVE IN DRY CLEANERS

Kommentare: Have not had any problems.

Vorteile:

I love geelus’ easy setup, elimination of paper works and the text message to my customers. Especially the SMS feature really works great for me because my customers come to pickup their items very quickly. It’s very easy to use and I just need to pick up my phone and ring to get an immediate support if I need to. I have a drive through store with two entrances so I basically needed a software to run on two computers at the same time dealing with the same data. Because of the special structure of the software (they call it cloud based) I didn’t need to pay any extra. I’m very happy! “

Nachteile:

Have not found anything to dislike in the program

Great ease for my customers

Kommentare: Fantastic, highly reccomend

Vorteile:

The best thing about this software is the mobile alerts that my customers receive. I would always hear about how convenient the reminder was. It also made turn around much quicker so we didn't need to store our customer's items for extended periods of time.

Nachteile:

I am on the older version and I wish I had access to every function of the software on my mobile device. I'm going to switch to the new software and this should fix this problem.

Sustainability Redefined

Kommentare: We've been a long-time client of Geelus and will remain in the coming years as we are excited to start using the new version of their software.

Vorteile:

The product was easy to use from day one. Entering orders, keeping customer information secure, fast transactions and many more features that kept us using this software for more than 4 years.

Nachteile:

The one thing that was missing was the flexibility across platforms which is now addressed with the new version of Geelus.

Geelus is the software for now and the future

Vorteile:

I read other reviews, great features of Geelus are mentioned in them, which are true and they are really amazing and very important to the business. But the fact that Geelus team keeps updating the software, perfecting the current features and adding new features by listening to business owners / users is absolutely invaluable and vital to Geelus Success.

Nachteile:

No software is perfect , the only way it can be called perfect is, that it's above its global competition and has a great passionate team behind it that constantly improving the software. Geelus is the only one that there is.
