Making the switch to Ray and his software was hands down the best decision we could’ve made for our employees and business! Ray makes sure you have it all set up with no issues! We have had very minimal questions about our new Figure system and Ray is always right there to help us figure it out in a quick manner. He stops through and checks up on us frequently, which I appreciate. I would 100% recommend Ray and his software to anyone looking to make a switch!
