AllProWebTools vs. Mirakl Marketplace Platform

It works very well for my cooking business.

If you have a successful webstore with high traffic it could make sense to think about in expanding the business to other vendors by creating a marketplace (just like amazon). You'll charge a commission on the products sold in your website by other vendors, and that way you'll have a wide range of products to offer to your users. To do this, Mirakl is the software to use.

• The CRM holds all of my contacts and it is already integrated with all of my other tools.
• The Email Management system is already integrated with all of my other tools. This means that I do not have to download CSVs and upload them to a separate email program everytime I want to send out an email blast.
• I can take payments in the same system that has my email marketing and CRM. This means that I can create tags and send different email campaigns depending on if I have received payment or not.
• The website hosting means that I can use the same software to update my blog and gallery of food pictures.
• I can sell tickets to my cooking classes from the same software that manages everything else that I do in my business.
• I use the task manager that is built in to remind me of things I need to do. I really like that it is tied into my CRM so I can tag tasks to specific clients.
• The built in timecard system allows me to "clock in" to whatever client that I am working on so that my time and hourly rate are automatically calculated for me. My invoices are sent automatically on the first of each month.

• Good API integration, easy to integrate
• Almost complete seller platform providing all the basic features of a Marketplace and a few advanced ones
• Good level of support of the team
• Good level of product upgrades

Incentivized

• QuickBooks Integration
• More email templates
• They do not have an app

• Their management to start with (not kidding!)
• Cost of Mirakl can be dramatic

I used to use Microsoft Excel to organize my business - but it got pretty crazy pretty fast.

In 2013, when we evaluated Mirakl, we didn't find any other solution that was ready to go to market which could be compared.

Incentivized

• It just makes it easier for me to track what is going on in my business.
• I like having everything in one place, instead of a bunch of different programs.

• Increased turnover.
• Reduced organic product sales.
• Decreased Sales Margin.
