    Ordoro
    Chose Ordoro
    Ordoro was easily connected to our eCommerce platform, and at the time, it was the only shipping platform that would sync with our system. Now ShipStation does as well, and from what I can see, they are VERY comparable. Highly recommend ordoro for ease of use, and the price …

    Chose Ordoro
    We used and tried numerous platforms before landing with Ordoro. Pricing was a HUGE factor for us, but in addition to offering incredible pricing options, we couldn't help but acknowledge Ordoro's support team and their willingness to answer all of our millions of questions. …

    Chose ShipStation
    We selected ShipStation because it has custom store/marketplace integrations available that allowed us to connect to a service others couldn't. These integrations seem to be growing and that custom integration is now available out-of-the-box.

    Chose ShipStation
    ShipStation does one thing, shipping, and it does that one thing really well. You can definitely go out there and try to find software that handles both shipping and inventory, and that may work for certain businesses, but for mine, I've found it incredibly necessary to use the …

    The product is user-friendly in automating the tasks, managing the master data through central purchasing, and creating custom reports. It lacks certain basic functionalities like a record of wastages, sending automated emails confirming if the automatic tasks (scheduled tasks) have been completed or not, and the ability to automate the nutrition information, etc.

    Ordoro
    Ordoro is ideal for a company with multiple websites and/or sales channels that does both in-house shipping and has orders drop-shipped. Ordoro keeps orders and inventory in one central location, so you can manage orders, inventory, vendors, shipping, etc., all from one location. Creating and printing shipping labels is fast and simple. Ordoro's PO features and drop-ship integration with vendors has saved us a ton of time and hassle.

    I do - and have - recommended them to other businesses. If they had taken care of the USPS pickup option and started supporting Rollo printers again I would have given them a 10. But a year with no resolution is unacceptable. Everything else about them is excellent. When I do have issues I'm usually able to contact someone via live chat and get it resolved. They are glitchy on occasion, but what piece of modern technology isn't.

    Pros
    HotSchedules and Fourth
    • The 'stock management' tab on the home screen is of particular use when keeping tabs on incoming deliveries into the restaurant.
    • The option to open and close your stock period is great as you have the chance to edit your stock at a moment's notice.

    Ordoro
    • Ordoro manages inventory across multiple platforms very well. If you sell an item on one channel, it reduces your told inventory and updates it across all of your other channels so you never risk going out of stock on an item.
    • Ordoro is awesome for bringing all of your orders into one central location which streamlines shipping processes. They also provide reduced shipping costs for most well-known shipping carriers.
    • Ordoro has incredible technical support and customer care team. Unlike other similar products, when you call Ordoro, you talk to a real live person who is never reading a script and always friendly and happy to help with any questions you may have.

    • Integration: It works so well I forget that it is a 3rd party solution sometimes.
    • Automation: You can set nested rules based on order details, really cutting down on the little things that slow down your fulfillment process.
    • Management: We almost never log into the admin side of BigCommerce thanks to ShipStation. ShipStation handles all of our day-to-day needs.

    Cons
    HotSchedules and Fourth
    • It would help massively to see via Enterprise and menu items what ones are no longer active, to keep the data tidy.
    • When you take purchase reports from Enterprise and select to organise them by category, show the name of the category on the actual report download.
    • Quick and easy upload/download of supplier products for correcting prices, descriptions, prices in bulk.

    Ordoro
    • We would love for the ability to have more control of the packing slip templates (ie. add barcodes for order numbers on the packing slip etc.).
    • Wish it would sync to our eCommerce platform a bit more often than 1x per hour. We can manually sync, but that takes a few minutes.
    • Wish it would connect to the other software platform we use to manage our Amazon orders, Monsoon Commerce.

    • For years users have requested UPS End of Day Report for Driver to Scan. Shipstation Refuses to offer this and it means that Claims with the carrier are next to impossible to process as there is no PROOF the carrier received your package.
    • Customer Service is Seriously Lacking within the last 6-12 months. Repeated outages, problems, and their front-tier support has no insight as to how long the system will be down. Poor Response times for even the most basic of issues such as error logs so our cart can troubleshoot from their end.
    • The Status Page is inaccurate. 5 of the last 6 times when we had major issues their status page shows as 100%. Not a reliable gauge of up-time.

    Its a very quick platform and being web based it does not require install for say viewing order's shipping status. For the shipping itself, there is a app that grabs data in near real time. Its an easy install and I have had next to no issues with the shipping aspect of the app.

    In the six years we've used Ordoro, their customer service has been responsive, helpful, and knowledgeable. They have a robust support center for DIY answers, and honestly, we don't need support often because their product is so reliable. But when we need to reach a human for additional support, they have always been excellent.

    I have quarterly calls with my account rep to discuss metrics and performance to ensure we are remaining consistent without fulfillment and transit times. He is super friendly and knowledgable. Whenever I have questions, if he can't answer them himself, he gets me in contact with the appropriate person almost immediately.

    Other solutions may be more advanced or complete for certain tasks, however they are either more expensive or otherwise cover only partial operational requirements. For example, you may find a superior solution for inventory or fulfillment management, which will force you to work in two or more different systems, In addition the total cost will be usually more than you would pay for Ordoro. Some systems may be more complete than Ordoro, but at the same time too expensive for most small business. Ordoro has excellent customer service, superior to many similar, cost-effective, solutions.

    ShipStation is mainly used for automating and streamlining our shipping process. It doesn't track inventory or deal with fulfillment. ShipBob, on the other hand, is a fulfillment and shipping provider. (in addition to automation) Because our e-commerce business is still small and we're operating from our brick-n-mortar store, we don't have a need for ShipBob at the moment.

    • It saves us money by finding us the best rate (e.g. when we offer free shipping on orders).
    • It can save data such as your most common box sizes.
