We were lucky enough to get some time with Thomas S. at inRiver. He is a Syndicate guru-- a very smart man. He is willing to help walk us right through our challenges with difficult syndications and THAT brings peace of mind!

We didn´t notice support or being on top of the partner during implementation until we were struggling and ask directly to you. Lack of visibility of main issues or advantages from your tool.
