    Preno
    It has scalability, automation and very progressive. They listen to customer needs and adapt quickly. I look forward to the next phase of our journey with them. The business model is driven by a team of experts who truly care about your business. This quality supersedes any other quality sought in a business.

    Solid Commerce may be helpful for small businesses that want to reach from one marketplace to become multi-channel based. However, I would recommend short contracts, long trial periods, request a teammate with 2+ years experience at the company and don't be afraid to communicate your needs. I do feel there is a place for the company in the marketplace, it is less expensive than most, it has a lot of benefits in segmentation and pricing needs, but it can lack in reliability and is not as reactive to customers for an e-commerce market.

    Solid Commerce
    • It did allow for multi-channel promotion of the same set of SKUs. It diminished qty on all marketplaces when there was a sale on one.
    • It allowed for multiple skus to change price.
    • It allowed for SKU segmentation and multiple attribute tagging.
    • When their company was smaller and more customer service driven, there was a lot of creative thinking to create sales growth.

    Cons
    Preno
    • Staff need to know how to use SiteMinder.
    • Preno failed miserably at onboarding our business.
    • Up to 21 hours to respond to chats, and phones often go unanswered.
    • Poor linkage with Xero. Cost me over $3000 for an accountant to undo Xero issues after I spent hours going through the setup with someone from Preno.
    • I purchased this for ease with Xero. This is absolutely false as Preno staff were unable to link it to Xero properly.

    Solid Commerce
    • As their company grew and our e-commerce department grew, Solid Commerce lacked in customer service.
    • At one point we could see a high turnover rate of Solid Commerce employees, leading to a disconnect for customers.
    • We had a hard time functioning with other external tools like ShipWorks, ShipStation, our DMS, even uploading using excel files became unreliable.
    • We ended our relationship with Solid Commerce less then a year ago because we could not rely on their automation and communication. They knew this for months before we decided to terminate the relationship.

    Preno integrates with Light Speed and Xero. The two software systems we needed in our business. The integration gave us more time to focus on sales and other key aspects of the business.

    ChannelAdvisor is a step up in building our e-commerce business. They have met our communication and customer service needs. They work with our other tools like e-Desk and ShipStation reliably. However, that step up comes with additional costs. ChannelAdvisor is an investment that is higher then Solid Commerce. However, we are about 10 months in and not once have we lost connection with ShipStation or not been able to print pick tickets

    Solid Commerce
    • They helped us grow significantly from a small e-comm business to almost triple our size in four years.
    • They led us to know where our breaking points are in a same day service oriented environment.
    • They have great segmentation of SKUs and different pricing options of SKUs.
    • They did have some creative thinkers to help their customers but I wouldn't know if they are still there.
