Recently, we needed a new courier integration, and I worked closely with \[sensitive content hidden\] to get it completed. It was all completely pain-free to work with the team at DC. > > **Cons**: There are a few limitations with the system from our perspective, but as we are not a traditional warehouse, this was bound to happen. We have managed to find workarounds for these issues by using the public API, and we are using the base functionality to its strengths. ----- ### "Great resource providing excellent value" — 5.0/5 > **Laura** | *21 May 2024* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The order processing system is very good, enabling efficiencies in our warehouse > > **Cons**: Time lags between our front end system and Despatch Cloud in terms of order transfer and stock management > > Our onboarding experience was not great, but since then Sam has worked really hard to pull things around and be supportive to us. The system is excellent value for money and any problems that arise are receiving resolutions ----- ### "Excellent software from Despatch Cloud" — 5.0/5 > **Andrew** | *10 May 2024* | Warehousing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use, quick to use, rarely issues with it going down, when it has happened it is rectified quickly > > **Cons**: communcation with an account manager is not always quick. > > Extremely good overall, it has worked pretty much flawlessly, and we rely on this massively, it does not let us down, and updates are never huge, meaning there are no issues when an update happens. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/249775/despatch-cloud?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/249775/despatch-cloud) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
