Key Features to Look for in an MLM Software Demo

9 Must-Have Features in MLM Software Demos

1. User-Friendly Interface

• Navigation: Let’s assume some of your employees have never used a software solution to manage their business. An intuitive software can easily guide them to where they want to go. The software design matches the natural curiosity of users. It is important to check whether the software features are predictably well placed or whether it becomes quite frustrating to locate your next step after some time. 
• Customization Options: Is the software able to arrange the quick access options such that they are more accessible? Can they fine tune the interface and features according to your preferences? Does the software keep in mind what works best for you? Ask for further clarification about the customizability during your MLM software Demo.
• Accessibility: Irrespective of the skill level, the features of MLM software must be designed in such a way that even a beginner can figure it out. It must be simple to understand despite keeping all the fun features for the experts. Anyone from newbies to pros should be able to get the hang of it. 

2. Comprehensive Reporting and Analytics

• Types of Reports: How much has everyone sold? How much is everyone earning? Data based reports expose these ground realities of a business and more. Hence, keep an eye out for the types of reports that are offered among the various features of MLM software.
• Real-Time Analytics: This magic tool is a live tracker and demonstrator of all the business activities happening in real time. This helps the distributors and the management make quick decisions to sail the ship safe and strong despite the stormy weather.
• Data Visualization Tools: It is difficult to read minds and it is even more difficult to read numbers. But when they are graphically represented, anyone in the team can easily grasp the progress of their dear efforts. Hence data visualization tools help in understanding a business closely and finely enough to tweak their efforts for better growth.

3. Compensation Plan Flexibility

• Support for Multiple Plans: How large or small can teams be? Who are compensated and who are not? How are different teams, levels and distributors compensated? How are exceptional efforts rewarded? Discuss in detail whether the software is able to handle multiple MLM compensation plans.   
• Custom Plan Creation: Each network marketing company is a different ballgame in itself. Can the software be flexible to accommodate your unique compensation system? 
• Real-Time Commission Calculations: It helps the distributors to stay motivated when they are alerted every time they earn. The right-away update of every progress they make helps individual distributors and the team stay on their goal despite the challenges that awaits them around every corner. 

4. Integration Capabilities

• Third-Party Integrations: Imagine having an app that syncs your social media, shopping accounts and payment methods. If we keep aside the practical aspects such as user discretion and privacy, that app can be your one stop destination for all needs!
• Third party MLM integrations are meant to address the same challenge. A business software that has all its important features at one place is way more welcoming than one which is all over the place. Integrations allow syncing with e-commerce platforms, CRMs, payment gateways and more. Discuss in detail about the integration ability of the software during the MLM demo.
• API Availability: APIs are custom controls that enable developers to add or remove features as they want. Check whether your software provider offers API availability. This enhances the flexibility of the software and makes the app match the unique requirements of your business.
• Data Import/Export Features: While transferring important business data, it is crucial that the software offers easy export and import functions. Make sure the software allows various data sets to be transferred in and out across different systems without disruption of daily operations. 

5. Mobile Compatibility

• Mobile App Functionality: Imagine if the MLM mobile application runs well on your phone but not on your computer. Among the MLM demo features, make sure that the software can readily function across all screen sizes in all its versatility to ensure a unified customer experience. 
• Responsive Design: Check with the provider whether the software can function seamlessly despite any changes in the volume of data and number of users. Along with scalability, the design responsiveness makes it easier for everyone to use the application without disruptions. 
• Notifications and Alerts: Among the various features of MLM software, one of the most important ones are the push notifications, instant reminders and alerts that keeps the team informed about the important business decisions, messages or actions required.

6. Security Features

• Data Protection Measures: Check for the data protection measures opted by the software among the MLM demo features. Robust encryption and secure storage of data are crucial for ensuring a safe business environment. 
• User Authentication: Two factor authentication, account passwords, wallet passwords, PINs and biometric authentication are various methods that ensure only the right hands have access to your business information.
• Compliance with Regulations: Based on global and local jurisdictions under which your business operates, check whether the software is mindful of various disclosure agreements, cooling off periods, refund policies and tax regulations that apply. Staying compliant to the business regulations is one of the most important steps in building a healthy MLM business. 

7. Customer Support and Training

• Support Channels: Know who, when and where you can reach out for support. Look for options such as live chat, email and phone support. This enables easy adaptability of the software. 
• Training Resources: Check for ready availability of training resources. This helps your team members to go over in case of any doubts or queries without having to reach out to external help. Quick resolution of user queries results in fast and successful adaptation of the software solution.
• User Community Engagement: Additionally, it is important to ensure that live community support and forums that address any bugs or issues related to the software or the MLM business is open and available. This can be really helpful, allowing users to exchange tips, ask questions and help each other out as well as build a sense of community throughout the usage of the software platform. 

8. Scalability and Performance

• Handling Growth: Is the software able to grow and shrink with your business? Do the pages load slower when the user load applied is higher? Investigate the scalability features during the MLM software demo.
• Performance Testing: Request for a performance test by operating the software under different user loads and ticket volumes. This gives a better understanding of the ability of the software to operate under various circumstances without any disruption.
• Server Reliability: Make sure the software is available at all times to keep the business running seamlessly. Ensure any lags or performance disruptions are immediately addressed.

9. User Feedback and Testimonials

• Real User Experiences: The real experience with the software that is otherwise overlooked can be obtained while listening to real user experience. This gives a better idea of whether the software can meet your unique business requirements.
• Case Studies: Cased studies demonstrate the effectiveness of the software like no other. Real life examples show how various businesses have achieved the desired success using the power of MLM software.
• User Ratings and Reviews: Additionally, go through online reviews, ratings and other comments from past and active users of the software. Note down the claims and concerns and check with the provider to ensure that all challenges are addressed beforehand.
