  ### 3. Desktop Shipper has been great for our business

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** October 30, 2018

**What do you like best about ShipWise?**

Desktop Shipper has a great customizable platform.  It's good for companies that use an offline SQL (a lot of places don't support this) as well as it has some of the best most attentive staff garnered.


**What do you dislike about ShipWise?**

There really isn't much to dislike, however in being transparent cloud options off an offline SQL database present more of a challenge.  

**Recommendations to others considering ShipWise:**

Definitely do your research if you have an offline SQL database upfront.  Also determine if you are going to want a hosted solution or cloud based solution as they offer both.  

**What problems is ShipWise solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Streamlining and consolidating our fulfillment and shipping management.  It gives us a 1 stop shop to consolidate all of our sales channel orders into an intuitive platform that can be tweaked on the fly by Desktop Shipper staff as needed.  We've been able to save considerable time by batching single line items with location and SKU ready to go.

I like that Desktop Shipper communicates with both of our shipping partners and all of our marketplaces. They were able to streamline our procedures and eliminate manual entry. They are good with communication.
