Best EDI Software Around

I have been using iCARaS from Radley since it was just CARaS. For over 20 years and I have not been disappointed with the software at all. The cost of the software maintenance is well worth it! I have had nothing but positives with every aspect of Radley software and the company!

Pros

I like that Radley out of the box works with our Syteline software we have in our 2 Mexico facilities and that I was able to custom write programs to use the files we export to also import the data into our Vantage software. The setting up of a new trading partner is very simple as well as the support we get from the Radley techs. I also like that the software just RUNS and patching is very easy!!!

Cons

There is nothing negative to say about the software

Generally working service - Trouble with changes

Overall, we have been okay with the general use of Radley's iCARaS, and the Support Team is good at their job, but Development leaves a lot to be desired.

Pros

It works the way it is setup to work. If you set it up to be very restrictive, and can run like that, Radley's iCARaS will work well for you.

Cons

Loosening up restrictions leads to mistakes, but shipping to OEMs like Honda and Nissan require some adjustments. Those adjustments opened us up to errors. And correcting those errors requires support from Radley's Development Team, which has no strict schedule for producing fixes. There have been months when we never heard back from the Development Team.

Radley Review 2+ years of use

I works for the small project we are doing for Honda. I would not recommend this system for anyone wanting to run a full Operation with this system.

Pros

None. I am not a Fan of this system at all, Not user friendly. I started working in Warehousing in 1992 and this is by far the worst system I have ever used.

Cons

No book or sop. Just basically the sales book they gave us. No how to on every function possible. I should not have to call Radley to be able to be (walked through to get it) because no instruction book available.

Radley Scanning

Our biggest issue when we started was to streamline our shipping process. As time went on we added production tracking and the use of their customized productivity monitor. The Radley Scanning Solution helped us streamline our production process and took out the human error.

Pros

The ease of use and the customized productivity monitor that Radley created for us. Their customer support for their product is very good. Always there to help when they were needed.

Cons

There was really nothing we disliked about their software.

Radley is A++

Customer support has been fantastic. I have been working with Radley for nearly 20 years and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Radley.

Pros

The software integrates well with our ERP package and is highly customizable

Cons

Flat file based. This is old technology. We need a database!!!

Good support product looks dated

Our sales rep is great and the support is helpful.

Pros

Once the users are familiar with the product they are able to find their information do the needed EDIs and print labels.

Cons

The platform of java adds extra work in getting users working or troubleshooting. I wish the interface was more up to date and cleaner. I picture a person asked to do a task in Radley that has never used the software should be able to navigate without instruction.

Wescon Controls

This helped our company greatly with EDI and ASN manual entry's. Saved us a lot of time going from manually entering everything. Automation saved hours and hours of work. The help and support that we received from representative is beyond great! She is there when we had questions and issues. Her answer's were quick and well explained. She is great at helping you understand what happened and why along with exceptional instructions on how to fix the issue in the future. We couldn't have asked for a better teacher or support!!

Pros

The software is pretty self explanatory once you get started and know what the functions are.

Cons

Transitioning over and not knowing the outcome was the stressful part. Overall there really isn't anything that I don't like about it.

Use on a daily basis. Great support team.

Pros

Easy to toggle through menus. Ability to make changes within each tier are simple and easy to comprehend. If a problem occurs the support team is always friendly and very helpful.

Cons

The scanning system for each label and producing the Quick receive labels. Going back and placing the new labels on the containers is time consuming.

EDI for Enterprise

We've been working with Radley for long time, and in general we have a good experience with them. They have a very professional team and are able to help any time.

Pros

The technical support is really good. They keep in touch with you fast and can resolve problems. They customer experience is really good with Radley.

Cons

It's expensive. There are many other options in the market for much less money, but the service and support is really good.

Solid EDI Specialists

Pros

Radley has always been very responsive when I've submitted support tickets. They seem to know generic EDI well.

Cons

Issues working with customizations needed for our specific business needs. Development tends to make changes without input from us our notifications.

Dependable Solution for Small to Medium Sized Business

Overall we have had a very positive relationship with Radley for the 10+ years we've been partnered with them.

Pros

The software overall is intuitive to use. Reliability is a strength of Radley, as is the quality of service provided by the folks in customer support.

Cons

Nothing stands out as needing to change to make the software more desirable. A facelift of the interface could make the software more cosmetically consistent with other web 2.0 softwares.

Gets the Job Done

The software is stable and works without any issues, and customized for each customer needs. Technical support is quick to respond if there are any questions or errors.

Pros

Allows standardized process to be implemented for different customers. Reporting features have options of formatted PDF reports and spreadsheets to easily compare data.

Cons

Too many menu items in folder format. Personally prefer visual layouts with important daily activity on top.

Customer Demand Analyst

Pros

I like the ease of use and drill down options. i also like that i can export to Excel.

Cons

i wish this software had a way to tab through the release entry options. i also wish data was easier to find where it comes from IE - BOL's.

Think that it should be more user friendly.

Challenging to learn thoroughly. Can be more user friendly

Radley is an excellent vendor for us. They have listened to our needs throughout the process, offering ideas and helping to identify opportunities to help the process be simplier and easier to manage.

Radley was able to ease our concern about integration with our ERP system (Infor CSI/SyteLine). The flexibility that it offers and how wonderful the consultant was/is.

Radley

iCaras Hosted

When I do have problems support is always available to help. representative can always fix the issue.

Pros

It is easy to use and most importantly it works !

Cons

I think it might be nice to have a link within the software that would take you to your van that you use. Just save me some steps having to log into the van outside of iCaras.

My review

Pros

The software is a lot more open and hands on for our users than our previous solution. They have more control and reporting which is their favorite aspect.

Cons

From a user perspective I do not like that we were recommended to use Internet Explorer and generally the web interface feels very old. Additionally the reports and email notifications are not very descriptive or user friendly according to many of the recipients.
