ShippingEasy vs. Webgility

ShippingEasy is perfect for our shipping needs. It allows for a smaller organization to ship a much larger volume more easily especially with the flexibility of the shipping rules. The email marketing campaign and marketing tools really help out a lot as well. They have more functionality and are a fraction of the cost of Constant Contact. So for an online retail platform like us, it really is an invaluable tool.

This platform is a pretty decent platform that
has all the required facilities which makes it a good platform for the users. I
would recommend this software to businesses because this is not too hefty in
their pockets and this can be pretty affordable for many. Also, it works quite
efficiently and effectively.

• Import data from various online sales apps.
• Generate USPS postage
• Keeps records for easy tracking

• Almost no wait time to speak to a technician
• The technician team is knowledgable and effective
• They offer a fantastic service allowing my team to concentrate on bringing in revenue not doing data entry.
• QuickBooks integration is better than anyone else we have a webconnect program with.

• ShippingEasy is set up to connect to many marketplaces including Amazon, eBay, and Walmart but does not connect to Poshmark. We sell on Postmark and have to maintain a separate inventory system.
• Once items are set up in inventory if there is an error in the picture, the information, or the inventory amount it has to be updated by hand. A subsequent product upload does not fix it or over write it.

• There are certain deprivations associated with Webgility. Some of them are that it does not answer phones or emails. I feel that the concept of Webgility is great, but at the same time, you have to know exactly what to do in order for the system to work properly, effectively, and efficiently.
• In the beginning, I felt it was complicated software, so it took time to learn. Since then the experience has been smooth and good.

I had been using this company for probably the first two months with no real issues, but to be fair I also didn't send a lot of packages. However, when I DID need to use the platform, I realized that the orders from my shop were syncing inconsistently, forcing me to manually input orders in order to get them shipped. I had placed a fairly sizeable amount of money in my Stamps.com account, but when it came time to add more funds my payment method was declined, even on a card that had several thousand dollars credit. I call (which took forever) and they say that it is an anti-fraud measure and that I have to call Stamps.com to get the block taken off. I do so, they do so and I go back to try and purchase postage, still no luck, card declined. Reach out again to be told it wasn't their problem, that I needed to take it up with Stamps.com. However, I could purchase postage directly from Stamps.com, but then my balance didn't always update in ShippingEasy. I'd give a zero if I could. Now don't get me wrong, I understand that things are slowed down with COVID, but the utter lack of assistance or even a sense of urgency when it came to resolving my issue was staggering. I must have reached out 5-6 times within the span of a week with little change in the situation. Horrible customer service. Then I canceled the service and got charged for another two months.

ShippingEasy was less expensive and offered more marketplace connections than Stitch Labs. ShippingEasy charges for a basic shipping program and then you can decide to add on inventory and marketing for an extra, reasonable fee. It's easier to control our costs that way. ShippingEasy has phone customer service at all levels which Stitch Labs did not offer at our service plan level. That made it difficult to communicate with Stitch Labs. Hands down we are thrilled that we switched from Stitch Labs to ShippingEasy

Webgility is an Omnichannel Retail Suite for businesses offering ease and control. They have a secure concept of several layers of safety for business processes integrated. The stock reporting can be used in real-time or in history, and for planning. There is a versatile interface or integration into API for eCommerce markets and POS that is rich and can be customized with ease. Webgility offers great customer service facilities with plenty of adaptable features. That is a big range of features that can be researched with competitors. We had Multiorders, Zoho Inventory, Quickbook Desktop Enterprise in consideration. We see Multiorders coming closest. They have a great integration in various channels for sale and enable management of all kinds of orders including shipping. There is a comfortable part for the management of inventories too. Then we see Zoho Inventory which is easy to set up and seemingly more usable and comfortable to administrate. In the third position, we compare QuickBooks Online as the closest competitor. This offers similar ease in all processes of accounting. Everything is all in one place and close to real-time. The differences are small. There are different targets for optimization that make the difference

• Webgility does not accept and imports all types of transactions which sometimes gets annoying.
• I just totally love the immediate and instant technical as well as customer support of Webgility which is always there to help us out at any sort of minor to major hiccup.
• Webgility gives us the autonomy and the liberty to work in a form of the hosted environment.
• Webgility has a very seamless integration which is far better than any other program we have worked with.
