## Crisp Data Platform Reviews
  ### 1. Still the best and absolute must have tool for managing item distribution

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Joe S. | Senior Sales Manager, WEST, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 11, 2023

**What do you like best about Crisp Data Platform?**

Big advances have been made to see inventory levels in real time.  Navigating between distributors and segmenting to specific warehouses or by product can be evaluated quickly.  The aging inventory addition is another favorite in order to avoid any surprise chargebacks on spoils.

**What do you dislike about Crisp Data Platform?**

For national retailers they segment out by regions, it would be more ideal to select a national banner first to populate all regions.  It takes some time to have to select every division of a retailer from the drop down.  I'd also like to see a fix when exporting CSV file that all of the titles are completed.  The "Description" column does not have a header and I have to type that in every time I download a CSV to create a pivot table. 

**What problems is Crisp Data Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Crisp provides visibility into how regions compare against others.  From sales, distro and velocity I can easily see how my products are performing.  I enjoy the YOY feature as it is a quick snap shot to growth or decline.  Exporting the data is easy to do and share with partners.

  ### 2. Effortless Data Analysis with Crisp

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ben M. | Category Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 28, 2026

**What do you like best about Crisp Data Platform?**

I ultimately use the Crisp Data Platform because it makes my job easier. I love the charts and visuals it provides, which are great for making reports and presentations. The fact that my data is already integrated into the platform without any security risks is fantastic. I personally appreciate the different interactive charts for showing performance metrics. The ability to build dashboards, graphs, and tables, which can be easily integrated into PowerPoint slides, is awesome and makes for a great story. I enjoy the scheduling feature as it saves me over an hour each week on my reporting, allowing reports to be sent to my inbox before work starts. I find the initial setup super easy because the platform is very user-friendly. I pair Crisp with SOLYS to build reports, and having Crisp assist with the write-up and email summary is a real time-saver.

**What do you dislike about Crisp Data Platform?**

Planogram data would be great to have. As a category manager, I do a ton of work with planograms, so it would be super helpful to have this information on the platform. I think it could do a better job of referencing external things outside of the Target platform. I know it can search things on Google, but don't feel like those things are always the most accurate information as I have encountered some things that haven't been true. You have to train the agent. It won't understand nuances within the business. For example, Frozen Pizza is very regional and so it may recommend expanding a brand that does super well in a certain region but isn't relevant outside of that region.

**What problems is Crisp Data Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use Crisp Data Platform to analyze data, build reports, and create visuals. It saves me over an hour weekly on reporting and provides detailed analysis and charts. Its scheduling feature delivers reports to my inbox, and the integrated data ensures security without masking.

  ### 3. User-Friendly Platform with Valuable Support but Needs Better SKU Descriptions

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jake N. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 27, 2026

**What do you like best about Crisp Data Platform?**

I really appreciate Michael Larson in IT for his help with the learning curve of getting to know the technology; his personality impressed me a lot. I use the scheduled report section the most because it allows me to save time by regenerating reports on a timed basis without needing to rebuild them every time. The initial setup of Crisp Data Platform was the most painless and easy process among all the retailers I've dealt with. Michael Larson gave us an introductory lesson and has been great at setting up additional training. On a scale from 1 to 10, I'd say I'm at a 9 in terms of likelihood to recommend Crisp Data Platform to a friend or colleague, as it is better than almost all other retailers for obtaining online sales data for gauging metrics.

**What do you dislike about Crisp Data Platform?**

Targets Item descriptions are awful. I have to do an overlay of UPC descriptions from Circana to obtain a useful SKU name for each product. It's awful on other retailers as well.

**What problems is Crisp Data Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Crisp Data Platform helps me manage sales inquiries and assess product performance over time. Its scheduled report feature saves me time by avoiding repetitive report rebuilding.

  ### 4. Crisp is a streamlined, time saving platform for unified retail data and fast insights.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Dan M. | Walmart And Sam's Club Category Insights Manager, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 22, 2025

**What do you like best about Crisp Data Platform?**

Crisp offers two robust options for pulling and analyzing data—one optimized for Excel and another designed for Power BI. Having both platforms available is valuable, as it allows teammates to work within the environment they are most comfortable with. Additionally, Crisp continues to expand its reporting capabilities and refine existing content, which enhances our speed to insight and strengthens our ability to analyze data efficiently.

**What do you dislike about Crisp Data Platform?**

The downside to Crisp is the overwhelming number of reports available.  They can be hard to navigate for the occasional user.

**What problems is Crisp Data Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Crisp has become an essential partner in helping us efficiently ingest data from multiple retail sources. The platform’s intuitive visuals make it easy to answer key business questions quickly, without having to dig through complex datasets. Beyond the interface, Crisp saves our team significant time by reducing the need for manual database management and eliminating the hassle of navigating multiple retailer systems that frequently change. Overall, it streamlines our workflow and helps us focus more on insights and action rather than data wrangling.

  ### 5. A user-friendly platform.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Manufacturing | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 25, 2025

**What do you like best about Crisp Data Platform?**

The CRISP data platform provides a range of features that support smooth, effective, and efficient daily operations with true real-time capabilities. Consistent data accuracy, strong management practices, and cohesive teamwork are essential to maximizing its value.

The CRISP team is highly responsive and supportive in addressing inquiries. Special recognition goes to Julie Spinelli for her exceptional leadership, expertise, and commitment, which have been instrumental in driving the platform’s success. I have had the privilege of working closely with her for more than ten years.

**What do you dislike about Crisp Data Platform?**

To date, I have not encountered any difficulties using this platform.

**What problems is Crisp Data Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It supports our day-to-day operations effectively.

  ### 6. User-Friendly Platform with Frustrating Timeout Issue

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Angie B. | Senior Operations Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 29, 2025

**What do you like best about Crisp Data Platform?**

Platform is very user friendly...easy to navigate and understand. The layout is clean and clearly defined. My integration specialist is super helpful and always responds quickly whenever I have questions or need assistance with errors. The customer support team has been amazing over the years and I'm extremely grateful for all of their help navigating the world of EDI!

**What do you dislike about Crisp Data Platform?**

If idle for too long and the system times out, it doesn't actually log you out so you can just log in again...instead, it keeps you in the platform but won't allow you to do anything. I find this a bit frustrating because then I have to log out a few times and refresh my browser or it stays frozen (even after logging out and back in again).

**What problems is Crisp Data Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Real time order connections to our 3PL and syncing into our inventory management system to help streamline the high volume of customer orders.

  ### 7. Effortlessly Handles EDI, Exceeds Expectations

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Marisa T.

**Reviewed Date:** February 04, 2026

**What do you like best about Crisp Data Platform?**

I like the efficiency and accuracy of Crisp Data Platform; it helps in having orders inputted with no manual errors. I appreciate the easy-to-use platform and the hands-on support from the Crisp team. The platform is a game changer for our business.

**What do you dislike about Crisp Data Platform?**

Printing reports should be made easier with just selected multiple reports at one time that need to be printed, instead of manually selecting and printing each report, one at a time. User should be able to go back and forth from one screen to the next, instead, I have to log out and log back in. The setup was a little difficult because we integrated many different platforms at one time.

**What problems is Crisp Data Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Crisp Data Platform solves manual order entry problems, ensures accurate order and tax calculations, boosts efficiency, and reduces staffing needs for our EDI operations.

  ### 8. Always Find What I Need, Backed by Fantastic Support

**Reviewed by:** Alex H. | Account Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 29, 2026

**What do you like best about Crisp Data Platform?**

I am always able to find the information that I need, and the support team is fantastic!

  ### 9. A true 10/10 CPG platform 

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Dallas S. | Regional Sales Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 13, 2025

**What do you like best about Crisp Data Platform?**

I just started taking over a UNFI account and I like that there is a unfi specific crisp platform. As for my other accounts the platform is very user friendly. I can spend 20 minutes digging through the data and I will have all of the information I need.

**What do you dislike about Crisp Data Platform?**

The interface can be a bit slow at times, but that's it. Crisp is pretty user friendly, so I can hop in an get all of the data I need. 

**What problems is Crisp Data Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Tracking various shipping points and having all of that data in a centrlized spot.

  ### 10. Easy Order Access and Weekly Reporting Made Simple

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Retail | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 27, 2026

**What do you like best about Crisp Data Platform?**

Easy to access orders and run reports to review weekly data .

**What do you dislike about Crisp Data Platform?**

I cannot modify my reports to be specific to the data that I may want to retrieve or change headings on the tabs to include other fields that are not visible without clicking into the order.

**What problems is Crisp Data Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Organizing my reports into a database that I can retrieve from on demand. Saves me both time and the effort of printing and filing hard copies of downloading them into an external file sharing resource.

  ### 11. Streamlined Order Process, Effortless Setup

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Kyra B. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 27, 2026

**What do you like best about Crisp Data Platform?**

I appreciate how user-friendly the Crisp Data Platform is, particularly when it comes to submitting invoices. It streamlines the order intake and invoicing process, which is really helpful. It's also easily editable, which is great for situations when there's an item out of stock. The initial setup was very easy, thanks to the excellent support from customer service, who handled everything.

**What do you dislike about Crisp Data Platform?**

Nothing to dislike

**What problems is Crisp Data Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I find Crisp Data Platform streamlines the order intake and invoicing process.

  ### 12. Helpful Support, Smooth Onboarding, and Insightful Reports

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Goods | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 27, 2026

**What do you like best about Crisp Data Platform?**

Support and onboarding has been helpful and I like all the different reports available to me. The PO tracker is also very helpful

**What do you dislike about Crisp Data Platform?**

The new interface is harder to navigate and not as easy to see the data. It looks a little messy and not as clean as when it was just Solys. I do not see any AI integration either. I also find building reports is not very intiutive,

**What problems is Crisp Data Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

PO Tracking & analyzing weekly sales

  ### 13. All My Data in One Place for Easy Access

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Kristen C. | Sales Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 29, 2026

**What do you like best about Crisp Data Platform?**

Having all my data in one place to easily pull.

**What do you dislike about Crisp Data Platform?**

The reports are not always instinctual to utilize.

**What problems is Crisp Data Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It allows me to pull all my reporting in one place vs. having to log into multiple platforms.

  ### 14. Quick Data Insights, But Customization Poses Challenges

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Bradley H.

**Reviewed Date:** November 04, 2025

**What do you like best about Crisp Data Platform?**

I really appreciate the speed of the Crisp Data Platform, as it loads quickly and removes the necessity to export data, although the option remains available. I find it convenient that everything is accessible right from the homepage. I also enjoy the platform's extensive customizability, which allows me to pull various powerful metrics into one centralized location. Despite the slight difficulty in selecting the right metrics due to a vast array of similar ones, having them all in one place is incredibly useful. Overall, these features make accessing and utilizing data much more efficient for my needs.

**What do you dislike about Crisp Data Platform?**

Sometimes when I want to customize in a more complicated way, it isn't clear how exactly to do that. If I wanted to create a line chart and grab weeks on the row axis or if I wanted to grab a bunch of different metrics, there are oftentimes many, many metrics with very similar names. When you go to select them, the full name is cut off by the selection panel, making it very difficult to tell which one is which. The only way to tell is if you hover over them, and then it'll reveal the full name. However, if there are a dozen or more different metrics, you have to hover over a lot to get to where you need to go. And sometimes you don't even exactly know which is which, which can be a bit complicated. The way that they're organized is just a little bit confusing.

**What problems is Crisp Data Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use the Crisp Data Platform to quickly access business trends and metrics, simplifying data retrieval compared to other platforms. It offers easy learning for new users, enhancing data accessibility for those unfamiliar with more complex systems.

  ### 15. Accurate, Easy-to-Read Data That Simplifies Processing

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Retail | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 27, 2026

**What do you like best about Crisp Data Platform?**

Data is accurate and laid out easily to read and process.

**What do you dislike about Crisp Data Platform?**

Sometimes the webpage takes a while to load especially with large data or multiple brand requests

**What problems is Crisp Data Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

If i need an update to a current report that has been made, the crisp support desk is extremely fast at replying with a solution and any updates needed to any report.

  ### 16. Exceptionally User-Friendly Experience

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Apparel & Fashion | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 24, 2025

**What do you like best about Crisp Data Platform?**

I find that its user friendly, and straight forward on what needs to be done.

**What do you dislike about Crisp Data Platform?**

Sometimes there is tax issues or the mapping for certain customers is incorrect or hasn't been updated. 
While preparing shipments, when a quantity is at zero, we set the pack quantity to be zero in both boxes. Meaning there should be no quantities of that style populating when applying and processing the order. However, when we click apply, the box count remains the same. When we click edit order, we can see that all quantities put at zero initially have been packed in the cartons in the shipment and we then have to manually adjust every single store to match the style’s quantities and delete cartons
Sometimes the data is missing when we edit quantities, or it will not appear for whomever edited the order but someone will log in and go to the shipment and see the correct quantities. Also, takes a while for sales order to appear on POs.  The site crashes or freezes and we have to re-do our work or log back in to complete the process.

**What problems is Crisp Data Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Crisp Data Platform helps us centralize and automate our EDI processes, reducing the need for manual file handling and follow-ups. It provides real-time visibility into order and inventory data across multiple retail partners, which helps us identify issues faster and maintain smoother communication with our trading partners. Overall, it’s improved efficiency and accuracy in our data exchange workflows.

  ### 17. Quickly integrate retail Sales & Inventory Data into your data workstreams

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Kyle C. | Director - FP&amp;A and Business Intelligence, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 23, 2023

**What do you like best about Crisp Data Platform?**

Crisp continues to build upon their core business, creating new retail connectors and branching out into EDI connections. Additionally, they are investing in creating strong, out of the box, dashboards for their clients to get more value out of the data. With all of this normalized data, Crisp understands that AI will be a strong component of their product offering in the future and has published open source AI notebooks for clients to leverage as a starting point for our internal AI initiatives. 

**What do you dislike about Crisp Data Platform?**

Further normalization across different datasets. While the underlying data across data sources may be different, it would be nice to see frameworks of normalization across different datasets above what exists today. Today, there are aggregated sales and inventory tables across multiple retailers, but for a channel such as Amazon, is there a way to combine multiple Amazon accounts together? Vendor Central and seller central combined? Amazon sales and inventory in addition to Amazon Ad data? Pushing into further use cases here would be helpful. 

**What problems is Crisp Data Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Automating the ingestion of retail POS & Inventory data into our data lake. This allows us to make more real-time business decisions and improve our speed from data to analysis. Real time tracking of store & SKU level inventory allows us to focus on top store/SKU combinations

  ### 18. Unified Retail Data Platform with Room for Onboarding Improvement

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Koti P.

**Reviewed Date:** December 16, 2025

**What do you like best about Crisp Data Platform?**

I like the Crisp Data Platform's ability to deliver unified, real-time retail and supply chain data from a wide variety of sources, which enables faster decision-making. It consolidates retail data and supports advanced analytics and reporting, along with improved demand forecasting and fast feedback loops. This helps me take smarter and proactive decisions across platforms.

**What do you dislike about Crisp Data Platform?**

I believe streamlining the onboarding process can be improved. Initial onboarding from ADV is not simple. Having cross tenant access management for B2B collaboration would be great.

**What problems is Crisp Data Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use Crisp Data Platform to consolidate retail data, supporting advanced analytics and reporting. It solves data fragmentation and manual inefficiencies, improving demand forecasting. It delivers real-time data, enabling faster, smarter decisions and reducing supply chain delays.

  ### 19. Stable Service with Fast, Responsive Support

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Wei L. | IT Director, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 27, 2026

**What do you like best about Crisp Data Platform?**

The service is stable, and the support team responds quickly.

**What do you dislike about Crisp Data Platform?**

There’s no existing integration with the ERP platform we use.

**What problems is Crisp Data Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

CRISP Platform is the primary EDI integration platform we use. It has shortened our order-capture time, and invoice posting has become more efficient as a result.

  ### 20. Easy to learn and use on a daily baisis

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Claire E. | Ecommerce Analyst, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 05, 2025

**What do you like best about Crisp Data Platform?**

What I like best about the Crisp Data Platform is how easy it is to access and visualize retailer POS data in near real-time. The platform streamlines our reporting and makes it easier to identify trends, out-of-stocks, and sales opportunities across accounts without needing to manipulate large datasets manually.

**What do you dislike about Crisp Data Platform?**

While the platform is overall very useful, some filters and customization options can feel a bit limited when trying to drill down into specific segments or date ranges. More flexibility would make it even more powerful for deep-dive analysis.

**What problems is Crisp Data Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Crisp helps solve the problem of fragmented, delayed, and hard-to-interpret POS data by providing a centralized, real-time platform. It allows me to quickly access sales and inventory data across retailers, saving time on manual reporting and helping me make more informed, faster decisions.

  ### 21. Daiya &  Crisp

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Debra M. | Director of Sales, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 15, 2025

**What do you like best about Crisp Data Platform?**

The crisp platform has helped my company to grow distribution in targeted accounts by being able to identify the opportunities for regions, stores and skus. It is easy to set up and makes it easy to update if focuses change.   the training I received and the follow up assisted int he quick learning of the system. The reports have become my Monday morning ritual.

**What do you dislike about Crisp Data Platform?**

I would like the ability to use the both the Supervalu along with the UNFI , piece as i have accounts pulling from both.

**What problems is Crisp Data Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The ability to customize my filters to specific items, segments etc.. saves me time and is a cleaner report for easier visibility to the data and easy to share.

The fluididty and seamlessness of the verall platform.

  ### 23. Seamless EDI Integration and Outstanding Support with Crisp Data Platform

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Furniture | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 23, 2025

**What do you like best about Crisp Data Platform?**

What I like best about the Crisp Data Platform is how it streamlines our EDI integration and makes data management seamless. The platform is reliable, intuitive, and supported by a team that is always responsive. In particular, having a dedicated specialist like Colleen ensures that any questions or issues are handled quickly and efficiently, making our operations run smoothly.

**What do you dislike about Crisp Data Platform?**

The only downside we’ve experienced with the Crisp Data Platform is that initiating new projects can sometimes take up to two weeks, as their team is busy. That said, once a project is underway, the support and execution are excellent.

**What problems is Crisp Data Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The Crisp Data Platform is solving the challenge of managing orders across multiple platforms by automating the entire order life cycle. Orders are received into our ERP, transmitted to our partner 3PL, and once fulfilled, the system automatically updates our ERP and shares fulfillment data with our customers. This automation saves us significant time, reduces errors, and ensures a seamless flow of information from order placement to fulfillment.

  ### 24. Great Platform, Even Better People Behind It

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Retail | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 23, 2025

**What do you like best about Crisp Data Platform?**

Honestly, the best part of working with Crisp has been how easy and human the whole experience is. We actually speak to an account manager weekly who we love and who fully understands both EDI and our business — not just someone who runs a ticket on our query and can't explain the technical aspects to the software engineers on their team. That’s a huge difference compared to other EDI providers we’ve worked with in the past, where the account reps had zero technical knowledge and every small trading partner issue turned into a week-long back-and-forth.

On top of that, the platform itself is clean, intuitive, and does exactly what we need - if it doesn't do what we need they will customize and improve their system and not charge through the roof.  It feels like a genuine partnership and they are an extension of our team.

**What do you dislike about Crisp Data Platform?**

There’s not a lot to dislike, but if I had to pick something, it would be that the portal could continue to improve - something they are working on.

**What problems is Crisp Data Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

New Retailer set-up
Crisp has made the process of setting up new trading partners so much smoother, specially with retailers that all seem to have their own quirks and data requirements. Previously, every new setup felt like starting from scratch, but with Crisp it’s largely automated and consistent. With over a dozen EDI connections this is key!
3pl Transition
They’ve been a huge help during major operational transitions, like moving from one 3PL to another. Having Crisp manage the EDI side meant we didn’t lose visibility or disrupt order flow during the switch. They worked directly with our new 3PL and had us up and running at lightning speed - no downtime, no lost orders, and no revenue impact.

  ### 25. Effortless Data Integration, Perfect for Forecasting

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Goods | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 13, 2025

**What do you like best about Crisp Data Platform?**

I love the data catalog feature in Crisp Data Platform which simplifies understanding of data availability and assists in smoothly integrating data into our warehouse. I appreciate the support from our account manager who helped familiarize us with potential challenges. This platform improves our forecasting capabilities, enabling us to maintain a healthy inventory. Understanding data elements without individual retailer’s tools is invaluable. The process of setting up was efficient and easy, with the benefit of easy comprehension of available data from retailers, which makes it impressive.

**What do you dislike about Crisp Data Platform?**

I would like the Crisp Data Platform to add calculations on top of the raw data they send us. Specifically, having change log information to show day-over-day changes would be helpful.

**What problems is Crisp Data Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use Crisp Data Platform to pull point of sale data into our data warehouse, simplifying our data integration and enhancing forecasting, which maintains a healthier inventory position.

The AI tool seems to be a huge hit in the office

  ### 28. Effortless to Use and Navigate

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Laurie H. | Vice President, Client Relations, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 27, 2025

**What do you like best about Crisp Data Platform?**

Easy to use and navigate; User friendly and allows for multiple users to be logged in at the same time.

**What do you dislike about Crisp Data Platform?**

Still working on allowing multiple clients under 1 user.  Has been in process for several months with no solution yet.

**What problems is Crisp Data Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Ease of implementation across multiple clients (uniform 940s & 945s).  Single point of contact for implementation (Colleen is amazing!)

  ### 29. Excellent EDI Provider

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Goods | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 27, 2025

**What do you like best about Crisp Data Platform?**

This is a service we use daily, with very minimal issues. The EDI team has bent over backwards to help us when urgent needs come up. They give us the time and attention we need to resolve any issues that arise, unlike other EDI providers (like SPS). Everyone we've interacted with is professional and experienced, and overall great to work with.

**What do you dislike about Crisp Data Platform?**

Some things (new implementations) take longer to work through than expected, which has made some processes a bit manual - though the Crisp team has helped us by taking on a lot of that manual work. Their new portal, while more user friendly, is a bit buggier.

**What problems is Crisp Data Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Most major retailers require an EDI provider to receive POs. Crisp is by far the best one I've ever worked with.

  ### 30. Great Custom Reports, But Preview Before Export Is Missing

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Apparel & Fashion | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 27, 2026

**What do you like best about Crisp Data Platform?**

I like being able to create my own reports

**What do you dislike about Crisp Data Platform?**

Not knowing what the report I am making will look like until I export it

**What problems is Crisp Data Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Being able to pull data from one main source is nice

  ### 31. Integration and Growth Leader

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Noah F. | Integration and Growth Leader, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 27, 2025

**What do you like best about Crisp Data Platform?**

I was thoroughly impressed with the quality of service provided by the team at Crisp. They made the integration process smooth and straightforward for us. I would not hesitate to recommend Crisp to any company. Great offering for small to medium-sized businesses.

**What do you dislike about Crisp Data Platform?**

I wish Crisp offered more robust reporting features built into the platform, as this would make it much easier for me to understand what our customers are ordering.

**What problems is Crisp Data Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Help me collect orders from customers via EDI

  ### 32. Easy to use and personalize platform.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Pamela H. | Replenishment Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 05, 2025

**What do you like best about Crisp Data Platform?**

Crisp is our only access to Walmart's API feed, which contains more datasets than their BI link or report builder. Anything that is added to the API feed needs to be available. I like that it's easy to personalize and bookmark my preferences. I use multiple pages weekly.

**What do you dislike about Crisp Data Platform?**

I would like the ability to have a week to date number - comparing where we are in the week vs where we were LY at the same point in the week. Now it's LY whole week vs TY WTD. Platform as a whole is good.

**What problems is Crisp Data Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

OOS Root Cause is my go-to. It's only available on the API feed from Walmart or their internal app which is super slow.

  ### 33. Senior Sales Analyst

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Goods | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 22, 2024

**What do you like best about Crisp Data Platform?**

I like the dashboards and the ability to filter/drill down to exactly what you need. The tool is user friendly and Kristin has been a great resource when questions come up. I also like how you can create MDM product and store categories

**What do you dislike about Crisp Data Platform?**

I dislike that the tool crashes when you try to pull year over year sales data. I have raised this issue to our contact and she has informed me that this issue can not be fixed.

**What problems is Crisp Data Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

My team wants to know $ sales movement by product category by retailer. In the future I am going to be using this tool to pull inventory data.

  ### 34. Excellent Support and Integration, But EDI Processing Can Be Slow

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Logistics and Supply Chain | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 24, 2025

**What do you like best about Crisp Data Platform?**

The customer support stands out, especially in how quickly they address troubleshooting issues and facilitate integration with new partners whenever necessary.

**What do you dislike about Crisp Data Platform?**

The processing time for some EDI messages is a bit delayed. Their servers usually required several minutes to process any EDI message.

**What problems is Crisp Data Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The platform facilitated communication between retailers and our clients, specially when our clients lacked any EDI or ERP system.

  ### 35. Not as great as it used to be

**Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** ericka k. | Chief Growth Officer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 14, 2023

**What do you like best about Crisp Data Platform?**

When it's working, I like that I can get account and store specific data with multiple filters.

**What do you dislike about Crisp Data Platform?**

Since rolling into UNFI, it is frustrating to have to go to two separate sites to get my data. It has also become incredibly unreliable. The other day I was unable to pull any UNFI data. Additionally, the non-UNFI site is unbelievable slow. When pulling KeHE data I now go to KeHE connect which is much faster.

**What problems is Crisp Data Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We didn't always have visibility to which accounts were driving growth, specifically at UNFI and KeHE.  Crisp allows us to quickly drill into the retailer activities and identify when there was an issue. Crisp also helps us understand velocities, which is key if we need to address a trial issue at launch. It also provides guidance as to which new products have the biggest in market potential.

  ### 36. Organized and Easy to Follow, but Too Many Steps

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Apparel & Fashion | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 05, 2026

**What do you like best about Crisp Data Platform?**

Its an organized platform, easy to follow

**What do you dislike about Crisp Data Platform?**

There is alot of steps when sending back orders. When partial orders are shipped it does have the remainder stock for easy packing.

**What problems is Crisp Data Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The EDI save us alot of manual work

  ### 37. Excellent Integration and Support, No Issues So Far

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Publishing | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 28, 2025

**What do you like best about Crisp Data Platform?**

Integration and implementation team was very helpful

**What do you dislike about Crisp Data Platform?**

So far it is a good experience and we did not face any issue that remained unresolved.

**What problems is Crisp Data Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The purpose of EDI integration was to enable seamless exchange of data. It has tremendously enhanced data integrity, reliability of analytics, cost savings, efficiency gains.

  ### 38. User-Friendly with Excellent Support

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Wholesale | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 30, 2025

**What do you like best about Crisp Data Platform?**

User friendly, the support help desk staff are pleasant and very helpful!

**What do you dislike about Crisp Data Platform?**

Adding the pallets is very time-consuming when do ASN.

**What problems is Crisp Data Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Vendors we deal with require an EDI platform and CRISP solves that problem as it works with both Loblaws and Whole Foods.

  ### 39. Easy to use!

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Publishing | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 24, 2025

**What do you like best about Crisp Data Platform?**

Ease of use and integration. No limits to the capacity.

**What do you dislike about Crisp Data Platform?**

Sometimes when it is very busy customer support can be a little slow to respond but it has improved for sure.

**What problems is Crisp Data Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Crisp makes transmitting EDI quick and easy.

  ### 40. Automated Reports Are Great, But Needs Major Improvements

**Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Goods | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 06, 2025

**What do you like best about Crisp Data Platform?**

I like the automated reports sent to my inbox

**What do you dislike about Crisp Data Platform?**

I dislike the dashboard. Not very useful.

**What problems is Crisp Data Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I like it for building reports that I will use periodically, like feature trackers.

  ### 41. Crisp is a fast, easy to understand solution for retailer data

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Goods | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 17, 2025

**What do you like best about Crisp Data Platform?**

Crisp is perfect for users that need up-to-date visualizations and have not been able to manage their distributor data effectively. The ability to filter and drill down on date ranges is easy to use, understand, and download. It was easy to get started, easy to customize your product names, and easy to navigate without slow loading times. I've rarely had to contact customer support, and they respond quickly each time. We use Crisp at least once a week for distributor insights and retailer POS sales.

**What do you dislike about Crisp Data Platform?**

I wish that Crisp had the ability to compare two different selected dimensions, edit charts, or provide top level KPI's. Overall there has not been much innovation or improvement in functions since we launched with Crisp. It would also be nice to have more customization with downloaded reports. Extracting live integrations costs extra, unfortunately.

**What problems is Crisp Data Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We're able to keep a better eye on points of distribution and on-hand inventory, that was previously a pain point in our data analysis. Crisp also conveniently makes it easy to jump from one data source to another.

  ### 42. Crisp Data Platform helps me meet needs of my customet

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Goods | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 09, 2025

**What do you like best about Crisp Data Platform?**

Crisp is continuing to update their technology to offer more resources and access to the data more quickly. They also adapted to the changing platform at Walmart. Crisp continues to be an excellent partner.

**What do you dislike about Crisp Data Platform?**

To many metric choices makes it hard to find metric I need

**What problems is Crisp Data Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Storing multiple years of data and putting it in useable format

  ### 43. Consolidated Data w/ consistency in visualization makes it easy for our team to digest

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Gwen R. | VP of Sales, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 10, 2023

**What do you like best about Crisp Data Platform?**

We love that we don't have to re-frame our minds when we get in because you can go connector to connector and see things visualized similarly. We used to have to completely re-frame jumping from the kehe portal to the unfi portal to the wegmans portal to the whole foods portal. Love the consistency.

**What do you dislike about Crisp Data Platform?**

This isn't Crisp's problem but what the heck UNFI, the "confidential" retailers make it really hard to truly get in here and digest the information. Sometimes the landing page is hard to navigate and I can't immediately see all my dashboards and I have a hard time finding them.

**What problems is Crisp Data Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Being able to quickly and easily make sense of all the data we have access to, and for multiple people on my team to be able to quickly get in and get questions answered about their books of business.

  ### 44. Easy set up for users

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Goods | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 11, 2025

**What do you like best about Crisp Data Platform?**

As the admin, it is easy to set up accounts.

**What do you dislike about Crisp Data Platform?**

The system doesn't let you know when you need to change bot passwords in a effective way.

**What problems is Crisp Data Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I am just the administrator for the tool.

  ### 45. Best in Class!

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Chris W. | Vice President of Sales, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 23, 2023

**What do you like best about Crisp Data Platform?**

I love how easy it is to log into Crisp and pull data. It would take me multiple reports and multiple data sites to pull the data I can easily access in Crisp to help make business decisions and answer company questions.

**What do you dislike about Crisp Data Platform?**

Honestly, nothing. I would like the company to incorporate more feedback on reporting to make their tools even more useful but overall I have been extremely pleased.

**What problems is Crisp Data Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Crisp is amazing at analysis for customers and managing inventories. It alerts me to potential distribution voids and makes my life way  more simple when it comes to data analysis. In addition, a great way to see quick data points for quick answsers to questions

  ### 46. Useful tool to house data needs for many customers

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Food & Beverages | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 14, 2023

**What do you like best about Crisp Data Platform?**

The low barrier to entry makes this an easy tool to adapt to and integrate into day to day workflows.  The master data management tool and ability to save reports based on multiple criteria, plus have multiple tabs open at once, make Crisp a great tool to look at data points across multiple item families at multiple retailers.

**What do you dislike about Crisp Data Platform?**

The varying views between different data connections can make it difficult to compare data across different distributors.

**What problems is Crisp Data Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Helps us to identify which items and distribution centers most frequently lead to lost sales, and thus prioritize fulfillment of open POs to these DCs (or request supplemental orders).

  ### 47. Excellent Customer Service

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Retail | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 12, 2025

**What do you like best about Crisp Data Platform?**

Anytime I have a question I receive a response in a very timely manner. The site is easy to navigate and gets me the info I need fast.

**What do you dislike about Crisp Data Platform?**

I don't really have a dislike, but biggest pain point is when we are waiting for data to upload.

**What problems is Crisp Data Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Time

  ### 48. Crisp has been super helpful in organizing and displaying our data.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Steven I. | CEO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 20, 2023

**What do you like best about Crisp Data Platform?**

I really like how easy it is to use, I'm able to see quickly reports that affect our business. Each uniform report is clear and easy to understand. For Nounos Creamery our crisp is a daily used tool.

**What do you dislike about Crisp Data Platform?**

I wish crisp could partner with Spins and Nelsons, having data from those providers is unavoidable and to have one place where we can see everything is so important.

**What problems is Crisp Data Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Crisp has provent to highlight KPI in a unifrom way that we can easly understand. We can create reports quickly and see what is happening out in the market quickly.
