Opiniones de ShipWorks

"Reliable, professional CS and a robust tool"

Puntos a favor: The flexibility and customization is everything an ecommerce firm needs. From managing our backorder to sending vital vommunications, Shipworks probably does a lot more than what we currently use it for. I love it!

Contras: Not being a cloud based system really stinks. It makes having employees in multiple locations, to work in the same data very difficult. It actually prevents us from scaling our business because if we could have more users see and utilize the same database in various locations in the US we could employ more people and designate specific tasks to streamline fulfillment and customer service.

"Its OK but I have my issues"

Comentarios: Like I said it works, so not much to complain about. I am thinking of switching to a web based solution that won't charge me for every store I have.

Puntos a favor: It works. gets the labels printed on our zebra printer. communicates back to the website with the status update and tracking info. These are pretty much the basics that are required.

Contras: I hate that it's installed on your computer. This means that you can only do your print from the computer in the office that's set up. You have to create all your label templates, packing slips, etc. on that computer. So if anything happens to the computer you have to go through a whole new setup process. I have gone through this with a crashed computer and it was a big deal. I also dont' like that for every software or store you run, you have to get a new license from shipworks. This adds up the cost pretty quickly. I have multiple sales channels on different domains, and I have to pay Shipworks their fee each month for EACH channel. Not cool.

"Couldn’t do my job without it!"

Comentarios: In general it has been great and gets the job done for what we need!

Puntos a favor: Y personal pros of shipworks would be the ability to communicate with our warehouse from our retail store. We share inventory- so we would not make it if we didn’t have a sure way to communicate what product is coming from where, and tracking it we have shipped it or not. It gives us a sure knowledge that our customers are getting what they ordered online and for in-store pickups.

Contras: My cons would be the glitches that often happen while using shipworks. It will just stop working or not load on our computer which can cause some harm when it comes to communication between our store and warehouse. At times we will have certain drop down options that just disappear- and we have to reload the whole program.

"We use ShipWorks Every Day!"

Comentarios: We are able to ship hundreds of orders a day quickly and accurately. It automatically updates our online web store with shipping information and changes the order status to completed. It's great!

Puntos a favor: This software is easy to use. I am able to create filters on the fly that enables us to display only certain data when we need to see only certain data. Customer support always answers the phone and is ready and able to give us help and direction whenever it is needed.

Contras: I am not familiar with the forms coding. I would like more on-line help so I can manipulate some of the existing forms, adding features and fields where I need them.

"Great Shipping Program"

Comentarios: Ease of use.

Puntos a favor: ShipWorks was very easy to use and it worked great with all carriers you could see ship time for each carrier before you printed the shipping label and their invoices were well laid out. You could have more than one user and you could see what user printed what shipping label. This program is great for beginners too because it's so easy to use and understand.

Contras: Didn't care for the fact that you couldn't make your own invoice from scratch without contacting them and having them do it for a fee. When we used ShipWorks they didn't give you free insurance like the program we use now on USPS Priority Packages and they didn't give the best discount for rates on USPS shipping.

"ShipWorks will Streamline your Shipping and Lower Costs!"

Comentarios: Customer service is great. They will help you with all your needs, and even help you customize and establish shipping rules!

Puntos a favor: Highly customizable software, with the ability to add multiple shipping companies, templates, preferences, etc. You will go from a clunky and time-consuming shipping method, to saving lots of time AND money with your newly-found efficiency.

Contras: The only con would be the learning curve. It takes a little while to familiarize yourself with all the options and power ShipWorks has to offer.

"Big program but works well"

Puntos a favor: ShipWorks works well to keep our orders all in one place and with all of the necessary information. All of our team uses it mostly without issue. Customer service is good at resolving issues when they arrive.

Contras: Sometimes ShipWorks will crash (either it freezes for a second to reconnect or it will completely shut down). It is frustrating when you are in the middle of searching an order, etc and happens multiple times per day.

"Very Customizable"

Puntos a favor: Lots of options to customize to suit our needs. Customer service to ready and able to assist directly on the software.

Contras: Cost to use gets on the high side otherwise customer service takes a little more time to assist with complicated functions

"Does the job. It is rare that we experience any problem with the software."

Puntos a favor: The software is lightweight and reliable. Plus it is really easy to contact support which is really important for us.

Contras: The user interface is a bit confusing at first. It needs some time to get familiar with the layout, but not a big deal for us.

"Shipping Made Easy"

Puntos a favor: I liked that I was given the option to use the 30 day trial. It was nice to be able to test their product out before deciding if I wanted to go all in.

Contras: I did not decide to use this company as my shipping vendor, as I felt like it was an extra step that was not needed for my business.

"The one program that makes my business succeed"

Comentarios: I was looking for a product like this, and tried shipworks after several competitors. They sat with me on the phone to get it set up, and literally after that ten minute call, its been saving me five to six hours a day in shipping and organization time. Shipworks is the single most valuable piece of software in my online sales, and is flexible enough to expand as my business grows to other platforms. The support when there is an issue is amazing, they are easy to talk to and immediately fix problems, which is a must with mission critical software. I have now shipped over 10,000 packages with shipworks and am a huge fan. If you're looking to simplify your life and improve your shipping process, get this software, its a game changer.

Puntos a favor: It just works. It organizes your data from different sources, allows for varied analysis, and has many built in features that save a lot of time and money. I use this to leave feedback, print and schedule orders, email customers before I ship, check when orders were sent out, leave notes when there are problems, and a million other things. The best thing about shipworks is the amazing support, when something goes wrong, they fix it in minutes to keep you up and running.

Contras: I wish there would be WYSIWYG editing for templates instead of complex XML, support for Canada Post commercial accounts, the ability to print indicia for shipping on demand, the ability to update tracking after a label has been printed, more customer and order analysis tools, Canadian address validation,. I would also like to see very cheap or free new channel addons for very low volume channels, so we can try new ecommerce platforms without committing to the minimum package per month.

"Best Customer Service and most customization"

Puntos a favor: I have called into customer service multiple times and they are one of the best support teams I've ever reached out to. Every member I have spoken with has been very knowledgeable, they've followed up on problems, and much more experienced then a level 1 helpdesk.
Additionally theis software is customizable to meet our needs. We've automated every step of our shipping process and now save an hour a day as opposed to when we used UPS Worldship or USPS Endicia.

Contras: There is a little bit of a learning curve when first using this software, but they have multiple articles on getting started.

"Great time-saver, can be a little tricky to set up, but well worth it!"

Comentarios: Faster shipping, fewer errors in shipping, integration with needed OMS systems.

Puntos a favor: The time-saving features in this great software are the best I've come across in a shipping software, bar none. The ability to bulk ship multiple orders simultaneously can also be a lifesaver, depending on your setup. The integration with just about any API or FTP capable system also means that this is very flexible.

Contras: There are occasional bugs that can be frustrating and apparently difficult for ShipWorks to squash, given that everyone has differing systems, printers, etc. The great news is that they do eventually fix the bugs -- just last month, they finally fixed a printing issue that had been given us headaches for quite some time. Lastly, it can be tricky to get this set up initially, but their customer support is generally quite good.

"Been using for 14 years"

Comentarios: I am a big fan of the way this company is run. I've never been let down by their service or their technology.

Puntos a favor: Very fast processing orders because software does not run in the cloud. Highly customizable and intuitive interface. They are always upgrading to add features and integrations. Service has always been great - no unqualified tech sending you in circles to fix a problem. I've only spoken with well-trained techs.

Contras: Database backups are important as this software does not run in the cloud. When not running in a server environment, would love an easier method for upgrading (all at once vs each workstation individually).

"We have been using Shipworks for almost 10 years and we love the software!"

Comentarios: Easy shipping for all of our orders.

Puntos a favor: Shipworks makes our UPS and USPS shipping fast and easy. The best feature is the ability to create custom templates and then automate actions to email the customers with tracking information and order status, etc.

Contras: I honestly do not have a lot of complaints about the software. One feature that they used to have that we miss is the ability to select a bunch of orders and the dollar amount would show at the bottom.

"Mr"

Comentarios: It handles all your shipping needs

Puntos a favor: It does it all with simply to use templates and if you ever have a problem support just takes control of your computer and fixes no questions asked.

Contras: When stamps.com bought them the order number dropped off the envelope label. they said they were working on getting it back on but it has been years now and still not order number on the envelope label

"Great Software"

Comentarios: We have been able to keep up with all of our shipping demands. Without ShipWorks, I don't think we could successfully ship out our daily orders.

Puntos a favor: I use ShipWorks every day to ship our online orders. The software functionality is awesome. We are able to ship our orders quickly and easily.

Contras: The only complaint I have with ShipWorks is that I am not familiar with the coding needed to customize forms and Actions better.

"Game changer!"

Comentarios: We have been using ShipWorks now for a few years. We manage multiple web-stores and thousands of customers. ShipWorks made it possible for us to lower our total processing time per order to just seconds. Reliable and easy to use, by far our favorite software.
Customer service is always available, knowledgeable and friendly.

Puntos a favor: Ease of use
Cost effective
Reliable
Scalable
Robust

Contras: Does not do dishes or windows.

"Amazing Team of People & Amazing Software"

Comentarios: saves us hours if work and allow us to automate shipping process

Puntos a favor: Great support, excellent product you can literally have it do whatever you want it it to. It is a "thick client" that is the only downside to it but its power-fullness and features stomp all competition in this vertical

"Excellent software and Customer/Tech Support"

Puntos a favor: Shipping software is very easy to use and integrate with store. And if you ever need help or support, their tech support team are hands down the best! We've dealt with many of their team members and everyone has always been very pleasant to work with.

"Simply....THE BEST!!"

Comentarios: have used SHIPWORKS almost since their inception.could NOT imagine my days without it!so ez to hook up and customer service could NOT be any nicer.actually act like they care....shocking!!

Puntos a favor: i never give it a thought.just does it`s thing in the backround & just plain works.

Contras: HUH??

"Great softwear for managing your order"

Puntos a favor: We can have all our orders come in two one place.

Contras: Sometimes the software freezes when adding a shipment on another screen .

"Rude Staff"

Comentarios: Customer service is extremely rude. Super slow, updates that take a long time and dont fix issues. Software freezes and takes a lot out of your computer. You need a lot of ram to run this software efficiently. I personally believe Shipstation is better, it is web based and runs smoother. I also like the data is provides as far as revenue and shipping costs. Helps me estimate true profits at a glance. I've used them since 2012 and processed almost 25,000 shipments. After today's rude conversation with their staff at Shipworks I'm moving to Shipstation.

Puntos a favor: Easy to use

Contras: Slow, too many updates, freezes, glitches

"I use ShipWorks daily to process orders"

Puntos a favor: It's super simple to use once it's been set up. The process is very simple and I've had zero issues with functionality

Contras: It was a little difficult initially to navigate the settings and change preferences. Other than that I have no other cons.

"Easy to Use"

Comentarios: Customer service was great with initial set up. Very responsive, helpful, and friendly.

Puntos a favor: For a first time software user of this type it was easy to set up and understand

Contras: It wasn't compatible with our suppliers' system and we had to switch to something else.
