    When you receive a message from a marketplace ChannelReply relays it to your help desk. When you reply to the messages it carries them to the marketplace's inbox. The automated scenarios do not work for this application. I need automated messages for some scenarios, however the application cannot provide such a feature.

    The package of Sterling Order Management / Sterling Store / Sterling Call Center works very well and it supports the expansion to Geographies like US/EU/JP/China, some of hottest markets for e-commerce.

    Usability
    Threecolts
    I highly recommend this application because it communicate the marketplace to you help desk so you do not need further agent seat on the marketplace dashboard. It provides easy usage. I did not give 10 points because it needs some improvement like automated messages. Its analytics would be great if it provides detailed statistics.

    Actually, both software are not rival systems. They complete each other. I use both of them to contact the different inboxes. ChannelReply is not the primary system that you can communicate with the customers. On the other hand, if you do not use it you can lost some of the emails that are sent from the marketplaces.
