    Ingram Micro
    Works well if you want to 1) Fulfill your own eComm orders. 2) Want the ability to do dropship with 3rd party retailers. 3) Want LOT# control (e.g. if you're in the food industry). There are a plethora of companies that can do ecomm fulfillment but they don't have the ability to do option 2 & 3.

    Simform is great with project management, communications and execution. They've been exemplary with customer service in all areas. We had an original version of our app that was created and hosted by another partner that abruptly went out of business. We were left with no support and a pending loss of hosted services. Simform jumped in and moved our code base to their hosted environment and even made substantial improvements to our existing code with no downtime for our customers!

    Cons
    Ingram Micro
    • Very hard to find the products you're looking for on the site if you don't already know exactly what you're trying to find. Lots of similar/identical products with uninformative naming conventions.
    • Poor faceted navigation.
    • Entire site is painfully slow.
    • The policy of automatically closing inactive accounts after 12 months, with no ability to re-open it upon customer request, is crazy.
    • Pricing on most commonplace IT products (outside of things like HPE servers) is not competitive at all, it's almost always cheaper to just buy on Amazon, and even when Ingram is cheaper, the difference is so negligible it's pointless to bother.

    • There have been times when we thought our projects were to heavily staffed. We informed Simform of this and the issue was corrected immediately.
    • One project we thought the Simform team member skill set did not match up with the requirements for the project. We alerted Simform of this and they quickly fixed the situation.

    Ingram Micro
    Ingram Micro is the largest supplier of this type in New Zealand and as such we started to use them almost only for this reason.
    Although we have had a very good customer experience and will continue to use Ingram Micro services in the future.

    Simform
    We evaluated four different agencies and interviewed over 12 engineers as part of our selection process. Alongside Simform, we partnered with another firm that charged nearly double the rate. However, we found no significant difference in the quality or skillsets delivered. Simform stood out for their technical capability, responsiveness, and cost-effectiveness, making them the clear choice.
