Likelihood to Recommend 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.
Read full review Vendavo is well suited for large organizations with complex pricing scenarios. Vendavo is very flexible to implement to different businesses. Global processes can be done in Vendavo with a single instance on most occasions with diverse business processes without compromising much of the current business processes.
Read full review Pros 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.

They are also easy to tweak for a more specific application. Export capabilities were great, it was easy to grab data from Vendavo. Read full review Cons 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. Read full review Improve import function in the Profit Analyzer for bulk parts. Handles large part imports slowly. Read full review Support Rating Read full review Alternatives Considered 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
Read full review I preferred Vendavo, but my price manager migrated to
Tableau . I think because of the licencing costs of vendavo?
Read full review Return on Investment 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. Read full review Helped drive better business decisions. Increase in overall margin. Better understanding of specific markets. Read full review ScreenShots
