A great option for our company

As I describe it in the "pros" aspects, our ("our" cause not only me use BuyCo, the entire company also does) experience has been fantastic, it gives our clients and ourselves the tranquility of knowing where our containers and packages are at all times.

PROS

Such a sensational product!! Beautiful from all sides and easy to use, its work is done perfectly and the functionalities it offers are fantastic. With BuyCo we can keep track of all our shipments (we are an export-import & real estate company).

CONS

Honestly, I can't find anything to criticize, everything has gone perfectly during this year of use.

Vendor Response

Thanks so much for your feedback! We're really glad you enjoyed BuyCo and we really appreciate the time you took to write such a review!

BuyCo Feedback

PROS

The platform is very useful and dynamic. It provides a better way to work and so we can organize the shipments since the moment we ask for the booking. I also liked the platform communication with the shipping companies system via EDI, because If something is changed by the carrier in the booking, the BuyCo automatically update all the information on the platform.

CONS

Few types of equipments are not available in the platform. There are few restrictions for Open Top containers and IMO cargo containers.

Vendor Response

Hello, Thank you for your feedback. We have added Open Tops to equipment managed on Buyco a month ago ! Same for IMO cargo that can now be managed :-)

The best software to import / export!

In general terms, everything has been great! We are very satisfied in the company with BuyCo.

PROS

First things first: its ease of use, it's so intuitive and it has a clear interface, the functions it has are great, such as the tracking. The customer support is also very well behaved, they always help in case of need. In short, it's the best option for importers and exporters!

CONS

It could improve the notifications, like new shipments, and I would also like to have a dark mode, it's more comfortable to look at.

I had the possibility to inform the customers for all delay on their shipments, when the shipping company do not inform him via BUYCO

PROS

In this software, the better is the facility to use it ; all is clear, it's easy to find an information, if the shipping company put it

CONS

It's a shame that it's obligatory to return on all the shipments ; it would be better to have possibility to return on the last shipment and not on the complete list

PROS

Vendor Response

Hello, Thank you for your feedback! We are setting up direct connections with ocean carriers in order to eliminate any discrepancy. We already have 2 carriers connected direct, and more will follow in the next months :-) Regarding booking amendments, we display the 'old' information because this is what the shipping line actually confirmed. We think that showing requested information that have not been confirmed could cause operational issues. Still, we are taking your point of view into account.

Very good, but still room for perfection

It's a good system that allow user to manage and trace shipments, beyond restrictions in time and national region. But still need some improvement to make it more user-friendly.

PROS

Allow user have clear picture of the order/shipment processing, organize docs., and easy to trace shipment. Reduce workload and save time to send email with docs.

CONS

When click on shipments marked as new shipment, it will be right away moved to dashboard where you have all the shipments. So it's not easy to find the shipment you just click, sometimes, you don't even remember the reference no., so you have to spend a lot of time searching it in the dashboard. Better to have new function to allow user to manually move shipment to dashboard, after all info./docs. are read/download.

Vendor Response

"Hello, Thank you for your feedback! Regarding documents it will soon be possible to decide manually if they are 'new' or 'seen'. This should solve your problem. We will think about something similar for new shipments."

Nice and useful software

PROS

We used to receive the shipping documents via email from the HQ but I find easier to find the documents / data afterwards instead of searching through many emails.

CONS

Not least but there are few points I still do not understand about the functions in this system because we are doing the testing for now so I would like to ask the Customer Service at HQ when I have questions. Regarding the vessel schedules, sometimes there seems to be discrepancies between the data and information we have receive from shipping company (local office) so we tend to rely on the information which we checked by ourselves.

Basically good

Basically it's good and user-friendly. :-)

PROS

1) can have a quick look to see all shipments to our countries 2) can download shipping docs directly 3) can learn the most updated vessel ETA status

CONS

The icon shows "1" of informing new docs available under "Shipment with New Docs". The whole row will be gone after my click. It would be nicer if the whole row remains without "1" pop-up, we then can come back to download it. From time to time we will be interrupted during the check of BUYCO. This would be a big help, no need to check one by one under "New Shipment" and find out which one is missed.

Buyco Review

I am having a very great experience with the platform. In my day by day it helps me a lot with the organization of all processes under my responsibility, besides allowing to update several documents which also helps to reduce the amount of emails exchanged with costumers. The platform is very stable and transmits robustness.

PROS

Organization, very dynamic, and the information is very visual and of fast access when you access the platform. Another positive point is the traceability of each process to know the actual situation.

CONS

Platform still do not present the possibility to do road and air shipments.
