Lightspeed Retail vs. Ordoro

It is perfect for any small business looking for inventory control, Tracking purchase history, and just an all round easy to use software for retail and beyond. I would not use it if I have only a few hundred items or was a larger company that can afford to build my own POS software.

Odoro is great for managing orders within an eCommerce platform. It can manage 100s of orders per day easily. Syncing does seem to take a bit longer when you have 100s of orders in a day, but still very intuitive to use. Once you do a few orders, it is incredibly easy to use and easy to make shipping templates/profiles for your most common package types/sizes/weights.

• Very very user friendly.
• Easy iPad interface that is easy to upgrade to new hardware if an iPad breaks, etc.
• On the Advanced plan the reporting is outstanding.
• Very easy to train new employees, especially younger employees raised on phones and tablets.
• We use their payments system and it's a very easy integration. I believe Stripe is their payment provider.

• Ordoro manages inventory across multiple platforms very well. If you sell an item on one channel, it reduces your told inventory and updates it across all of your other channels so you never risk going out of stock on an item.
• Ordoro is awesome for bringing all of your orders into one central location which streamlines shipping processes. They also provide reduced shipping costs for most well-known shipping carriers.
• Ordoro has incredible technical support and customer care team. Unlike other similar products, when you call Ordoro, you talk to a real live person who is never reading a script and always friendly and happy to help with any questions you may have.

• They have not had major updates to their system in years. The inventory system is stagnant. Although their inventory system is robust, it is outdated.
• They do have 24-hour support, however, wait times are excessive and representatives have challenges understanding your issues.
• Trying to get issues resolved can take months or never at all. Management is non-existent. Trying to reach a supervisor is impossible.
• They have a culture of telling you what you want to hear but have no intentions of actually following through.
• Lightspeed is a great solution if you are a small business just getting started. But if you are intending to grow and expand, Lightspeed will become detrimental to your growth.
• The reporting/analytics is basic at best. They do offer paid options that are very expensive, but it is very robust. The basic reporting is very minimal.

• We would love for the ability to have more control of the packing slip templates (ie. add barcodes for order numbers on the packing slip etc.).
• Wish it would sync to our eCommerce platform a bit more often than 1x per hour. We can manually sync, but that takes a few minutes.
• Wish it would connect to the other software platform we use to manage our Amazon orders, Monsoon Commerce.

Ordoro really excels in its simplicity and elegance. From set up, to everyday use, it's very intuitive and easy to learn

I gave the rating of a 9 because ninety percent of the time when I talk to their support they're very helpful. One of the only real issues I have is there are times where the queue will be 7-9 people deep. When you have an error you don't know how to fix, sometimes this is very troubling. But overall their support is usually quick and friendly.

In the six years we've used Ordoro, their customer service has been responsive, helpful, and knowledgeable. They have a robust support center for DIY answers, and honestly, we don't need support often because their product is so reliable. But when we need to reach a human for additional support, they have always been excellent.

Change always takes time and adjusment, but set up was so simple. Once we were fully set up, Ordoro w

We used Microsoft Retail Management System before this and this was in a whole other league of its own with features and ease of use. I really like using Macs also. They are much more reliable and longer lasting than IBM or Similar computers. The cloud based system is great also so you do not have to have another unit to store you database on

We used and tried numerous platforms before landing with Ordoro. Pricing was a HUGE factor for us, but in addition to offering incredible pricing options, we couldn't help but acknowledge Ordoro's support team and their willingness to answer all of our millions of questions. They truly went above and beyond and unlike some of the competitors who simply got us signed up and integrated and then dropped us, Ordoro is STILL always there when we need them. They treat us incredible and act like they actually value us as customers and care what we have to say. They listen to our suggestions, if we have them, and they are always trying to improve their product and offer even more integrations and features. Some of the competitor's solutions were also too complex and took months to set up correctly/properly. With Ordoro we were up and running in no time.
