Likelihood to Recommend Cisco business edition are well suited for the environment where we need regular communication as they are easy to dial and has got great features. The product is well suited for both small business and large enterprises. Speed dial, good voice quality are key features of Cisco phones. They are not well suited in scenarios where we do not have LAN connectivity or internet. Sometimes we may face latency and jitteriness which is not good.
Read full review Lingo is great for small to mid sized company working with big box retailers that want to manage EDI in a cost effective but also time efficient manner. If you are looking for complete automation and integration, or a highly developed interface this is not the EDI platofrm for you

Companies frequently require a small contact center within the UC environment. It would be nice to see a build it contact center in the box. It would be nice to see some advanced AI based services (IVR voice recognition service) in the BE7K application list. Call recording should be also built in. Read full review Cost setup for each retail partner is steep. In this digital age, it seems like a rip off to have to pay for this service ERP/Warehouse integration - it does not have the ability to integrate with our ERP setup currently. Sometimes there are just one too many steps to submit documents - wish it automatically prompted to the next submission step to remember to get through all steps more easily and not get lost in submitting documents Read full review Alternatives Considered I've used 220s and 240s too, but it takes a lot of time to set them up, a lot of time to download the iso files, and set up of datastores. 7k saves the engineer a lot of pre-build assessment and evaluation time. Gets a lot done in a lot less time, returns are a happy engineer and a happier customer.
Read full review We used SPS for a brief time because our warehouse had the capability to integrate with this program. It was very expensive and the interface for manually processing was not user friendly or easy to navigate. The integration was going to be an additional large cost. Lingo, while it does not have the integration capabilities, was the lower cost and easier to use option. We could get things done quickly for a lower cost and easily teach our third party warehouse to help in the process.
Read full review Return on Investment It has allowed for mostly smooth communication from department to department/office to office. It allows for saved phone # / last contact to appear quickly. It has allowed for safety warnings/announcements to emerge all across every office so that everyone within the organization is on the same page about events when they occur. Read full review It helps us save money on EDI processing It was user friendly so we could have our warehouse take over helping us process ASNs and take over steps on processing EDI orders for no additional cost- this has saved our admin time needed for these orders We were able to add all our retailer partners with specific requirements without issue. It helps us stream the processing and save time/money on these orders where the margins are not always great and the rules complicated Read full review ScreenShots
