Camelot's Excalibur software is a great 3PL solution

Although our initial configuration started off rocky, Camelot has proven to be an excellent provider for WMS software. Their customer service group is genuinely one of the best groups I have ever worked with. They genuinely care about what they are doing and work hard to solve problems.

PROS

Camelot’s Excalibur WMS is a fantastic bit of software. It is built on top of MS Dynamics Nav which makes the system highly configurable both within Camelot’s build and in the out-of-the-box Dynamics build. Being a small business owner means, among other things, that I am my own IT department, and Camelot’s support is absolutely wonderful to work with. To date we have not had a problem that has not been solved by one-on-one work with Camelot’s team and some creative thinking. All that, plus the fact that their rates are incredibly reasonable, makes them a great choice for any 3PL provider out there. I highly recommend Camelot to anyone who will listen!

CONS

One of the only drawbacks is the difficulty of deployment. It has taken a good deal of time and effort to tailor the system to our needs, but I feel that a lot of that is due to improvement of our own processes rather than fault of Camelot. The other drawback is that some modules are limited in capability and customization. When we first began using Camelot software, we deployed our system with their tablet scanning called Mobile Link. While the system looked good, we were not able to integrate the system into our processes due to the limits of customization of that module. We have since configured their WIMS scanning module with great success.

Reason for choosing Excalibur WMS

Camelot was an economical option that seemed to be best suited to fit our needs as a 3PL.

Vendor Response

Camelot review

Camelot was a vast improvement from our old WMS and does mostly what we need it to.

PROS

The system is very customizable. It is somewhat easy to train new users basic functions.

CONS

Paying a monthly service charge and still getting billed every time we need help with something. It's expensive to upgrade to Excalibur so we are still on an older version.

Reason for choosing Excalibur WMS

The screens didn't look as busy as the other options.

Expensive Software, Terrible Customer Service and unconsistent Technical Support

The overall experience in using the software is positive but overshadowed by the very high cost to implement it, the basically Non-Existent Customer Service a weak Tech Support team.

PROS

Some modules are pretty solid and well done such as Data Interface, Communication Manager, TMS and Billing. Item Table is well done and you can really control a multitude of parameters and therefore manage a big variety of different products.

CONS

The out of the box version of the software is extremely basic with very limited features and terrible documents. Good for very small companies that are handling only few limited items and that operate a warehouse manually without the use of technology. For more complex and modern operations (3pl warehouse dealing with multitude of different items, ecommerce, picking and packing) you really have to purchase a multitude of Modules and spend tons of money to customize basically every single aspect and functionality of the software. Some modules are really outdated and not working properly such as the WIMS module (use of scanners for in and out operations) and Document manager.

Reason for choosing Excalibur WMS

Written on Microsoft Navision which is used in other division of our company

Reasons for switching to Excalibur WMS

our WMS was dated and needed to be built from scratch

Vendor Response

We appreciate you bringing your unique project requirements to us and entrusting us with your business. We pride ourselves on providing flexible software solutions to meet some of our more stringent customer needs. We look forward to continuing to support your 3PL requirements through our Support and Consulting teams. We'll have a Customer Success resource reach out to you to assist further.

The next level

The experience has been positive. The implementation manager has been a great resource. The productivity gains have been apparent throughout the entire process.

PROS

Flexibility on customization for the following: Client setup, Ease of use, Billing, Process management, reporting, visibility to pending orders, charges and inventory. The goals which the system met are: Ensure all revenue is captured and have a easy way to view outstanding charges. The system to be user friendly which is being Microsoft based and will the system keep up with ever evolving world of logistics. Reporting and EDI/API integration. The last goal for the company to be on one universal platform and streamline processes. Also, the system has the ability to take warehousing to the next level with E-Commerce and ability to work with other programs such as driverless guided forklifts. The system is changing how the company handles internal processes along with customer facing documentation, reporting and visibility.

CONS

Needs updated training guides. Also needs more training guides on all the functionality of the system, currently too dependent on Camelot employees to train certain sections. Also some of the training material is outdated ie: training guide shows a certain field name but in the system the field name has changed which becomes confusing. Even within the system some Field names listed are called something else depending where the user is in they system. Accounting side not as robust as hoped. The Mobilelink program is a bit limiting. Lacking capabilities in the program on documenting value add services in receipts/shipment, No location for notes, cannot flag product as damaged.

Reasons for switching to Excalibur WMS

Reporting, documentation, visibility, productivity gains, ability to implement metrics and flexibility of the system overall.

Vendor Response

Chad, thank you for taking the time to leave your review and comments! We are always working on improvements with our training materials. So thank you for pointing that out. I will make sure our developers are aware of your other suggestions. If we can help in any other way, please feel free to send me a message directly at marketing@3plsoftware.com. Thanks again!

Excalibur is a Perfect Fit for 3PLs

Wills Transfer has worked with Camelot Software for 2 decades! During that time, we have gone through numerous upgrades and modules. Throughout our 20 years working with Camelot they have always been extremely professional and provided excellent implementation and ongoing customer service. If you are a 3PL and are looking for a proven Warehouse Management System for your 3PL Operations, look no further. The team at Camelot has everything you need!

PROS

The ability to provide a total 3PL solution. The fact that the Camelot 3PL module is built on top of Dynamics NAV allows us to have a completely integrated WMS/ERP. Most 3PL providers force you to "integrate" with your financial system. With Camelot Software, the solution is all under one roof, reducing software and licensing costs. For operations, the solution is extremely flexible, which is key for a 3PL.

CONS

Not much. We have been very happy with the team at Camelot and their ability to provide an out of the box solution or be able to customize a certain function to suit our needs.

Vendor Response

Thank you for the great review, Chris. We value our relationship with Wills Transfer and will continue to work hard to provide exceptional service to you and the 3PL warehouse industry.

Excellent, flexible software and Company to work with. Lots of capability for the $!

PROS

Flexible, adaptable, and capable software solution for 3rd Party Logistics/Public Warehousing industry. Software has ability to email transactions/invoice, manage/attach documents, handle EDI, works with RF scanners, and can be customized. This is a scalable solution that has far more capabilities--really boils down to whether users want to take the time to setup, implement, explore to see how they can better use the software to enhance operational and administrative processes. Users have access to the backend, giving users complete control.

CONS

Updates/releases, etc. require dedicated/extensive testing as all users platforms are configured slightly different--because of the freedom to customize. There are many "modules"--modules are rarely packaged together, but individual. This helps keep overall price reasonable (do not need to purchase what you are not going to use), but users can expect to pay for modules before having desired functionality. Overall, this is an excellent product.

CONS

I think sometimes that Camelot Software/ 3PLINK is so busy with new customers and there constant growing business that sometimes quick help for an immediate problem could take a couple days.

Camelots 3PL Software Review

PROS

Easy use and maneuvering throughout the software. Lots of customization abilities for all of our clients needs.

CONS

We have some issues with taxes not being built in. Who doesn't charge taxes? It should be a customization available to be added by the user and all states and provinces have different taxes, so it should be able to be a customized percentage added or able to apply tax exemption by the end user not the 3PL Corporation.

Review

Pretty stable environment. Support is very good. Most of the time solving the issue is a timely manner. Some of the customization and implementing the additional modules has taken more time than originally indicated.

PROS

Versatility and adaptability of the software

CONS

Ability to create our own reports is somewhat of a downfall. The per warehouse of the customer and items causes issues at times when the same customer is in different warehouses. There were some customization that was done in the beginning that has limited some of the ability to do things and would be a major project to undo now.

Reasons for switching to Excalibur WMS

We went from an in-house database to a hosted solution. The first one we tried wasn't robust enough for our business. Excalibur meets our needs so far.

Excalibur Lite

I only have one customer that I am using side by side with my legacy (out of 8 clients). Excalibur lite WILL be an improvement. Just disappointed that I am spending more time training myself and starting from scratch with clients instead of converting data from a legacy WMS

PROS

The software is easy to use and intuitive ONCE all your company data is formatted and loaded.

CONS

At first there was great support. But there was a change or shuffle in employees and I believe my company fell through a crack and I felt like I was left hanging. I have too many small details on the set up side that I felt really need more "hand holding". Not transitioned from my legacy, paying for software that I am not fully utilizing. The education is great! but much is not pertinent to the lite version which is ALL I need and I am anxious to move over to 100% from my legacy WMS

Perfect for 3PL warehouses

The Camelot team provides one hec k of a product for the 3PL warehouse. The software is infinitely configurable, no matter your operation. The staff at Camelot backs their product with a wonderful, attentive support team. Our implementation consultant made the process of migrating to 3PLink from a 11-year old program nearly seamless. I honestly expected much less. Most software companies sell you a product, then leave you high and dry. Camelot is not one of those companies! They back their product with the amazing staff, and frequent upgrades provided by both Camelot and Microsoft. Setup a demo and be wowed!

PROS

*Very robust in options and configurability *Customer service/response is AMAZING *A personal implementation consultant handles your new install...and ours went above/beyond what I expected. *Ability to configure/design reports - this is fairly easy to do, and can make your customers extremely happy with reports that are custom designed for their needs. *User friendly, easy to learn, and very "fast" in operation.

CONS

*Web portal on native database is very...basic.

Camelot 3PL is an outstanding company with an incredible software package.

I would highly recommend looking at this software if you are in the market for a WMS. This is the 3rd system we have used in our warehouse and is by far the easiest to learn and use. It does everything we need and is capable of doing even more if we expand or add clients with more advanced requests. We really could not be more pleased with this program.

PROS

Easy to learn and use, the online training program (Camelot University) allows you to learn at your own pace and provides a resource to look back to when you have questions, trainers know the program very well and offer helpful tips to set-up the system how you want.
