    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.

    If your business is focused on one specific product or small in scope, Tradogram should be able to suit your needs. If you require simplistic reporting without in depth project codes and details, it does provide basic functionality that is very well suited for small enterprise. Companies that do all of their purchasing with POs will find it to be useful. If you are able to operate without needing it to plug back into a comprehensive ERP system, it should be sufficient.

    Pros
    Auctane (Stamps.com, Inc)
    • 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
    Auctane (Stamps.com, Inc)
    • 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.

    • Reporting is really rigid and not customizable (except at an additional fee)
    • The API is new and still requires significant work to connect back into our ERP
    • Non-PO invoicing is extremely basic and doesn't draw from existing features
    • Can take a lot of clicks to get through a task

    Usability
    Auctane (Stamps.com, Inc)
    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.

    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.

    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.

    We evaluated Procurify as part of our initial scope conversations. Ultimately, we felt that the price point was outside of what we could support and went with the lesser cost of Tradogram instead.

    Return on Investment
    Auctane (Stamps.com, Inc)
    • It saves a lot of time being able to import the customer data.
    • 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.

    • The product was priced very well as we made the transition from a homegrown internal system.
    • The need to pay to customize the system to do what we need it to do has been cumbersome.
    • The API connection back to our ERP system has not been optimal and has required us to engage with outside parties to assure that it is working properly.
