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
Read full review Pros The reporting tool is powerful - provided the product categories and sales accounts have been well thought through. The fixed reports have been intuitively created; but the export feature makes them even more powerful, so as to be tailor made for the individual business. The marketing tools campaign builders, fundraisers, advertising analyzers, etc. are effective and have brought us business we would otherwise not have seen, and saved us money we would otherwise have thrown at the wrong advertisers. Customer data can be pulled and sorted in a multitude of ways, depending on the purpose. We use the marketing tools routinely. The financial tools make my life easier. Need to file and pay sales tax? A Sales Report Summary for any date range instantly gives gross sales, taxable sales, sales tax due. Need a current inventory report? A push-button report is generated, by product category. Need to know how this month's sales compare to the same month last year? Not a problem. Read full review User friendly, easy to see what needs to be done for each retail partner and completing all required documents Its price is competitive compared to other options Nice that they don't send a million update and confirmation emails like some platforms Read full review Cons I would like to see the ability to save work and continue later (as in pause order entering). I would like to see in the future a more advanced routing module. 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 Usability I give FloristWare a rating of 10 for usability because I have never had an ounce if difficulty with any of its functions or features.

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 Has kept us on top of account billing, so positive 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
