Overall Satisfaction with Lingo
Lingo is utilized to help our sales team manage EDI orders for our big box retailers. We switched from SPS commerce that was much more expensive and not as user friendly. It helped handle EDI in a easier low cost fashion for our wholesale business which is in our industry is not growing significantly
- User friendly, easy to see what needs to be done for each retail partner and completing all required documents
- Its price is competitive compared to other options
- Nice that they don't send a million update and confirmation emails like some platforms
- Cost setup for each retail partner is steep. In this digital age, it seems like a rip off to have to pay for this service
- ERP/Warehouse integration - it does not have the ability to integrate with our ERP setup currently.
- Sometimes there are just one too many steps to submit documents - wish it automatically prompted to the next submission step to remember to get through all steps more easily and not get lost in submitting documents
- It helps us save money on EDI processing
- It was user friendly so we could have our warehouse take over helping us process ASNs and take over steps on processing EDI orders for no additional cost- this has saved our admin time needed for these orders
- We were able to add all our retailer partners with specific requirements without issue. It helps us stream the processing and save time/money on these orders where the margins are not always great and the rules complicated
We used SPS for a brief time because our warehouse had the capability to integrate with this program. It was very expensive and the interface for manually processing was not user friendly or easy to navigate. The integration was going to be an additional large cost. Lingo, while it does not have the integration capabilities, was the lower cost and easier to use option. We could get things done quickly for a lower cost and easily teach our third party warehouse to help in the process.
