The perfect tool to help manage your multi-channel systems

PROS

I love the user interface and how it is so quick and easy to not only manage your product data and key information but also how it integrates with just about every major piece of software at the press of a button

CONS

The lack of SAP integration forces us to not use linnworks in its full capacity

Reason for choosing Linnworks

Cost was a big deciding factor but the Linnworks support we receive is second to none and any issues we have are either fixed or options are given to us to get third party developers involved

Vendor Response

Hi Tom, Thanks for the positive review! We love hearing how our software has enabled you to manage multiple sales channels with ease. I'll make sure to pass on your kind words to the support team, they will really appreciate it. Thanks again. Lucy Allen, Product Marketing Manager

Exceptional powerful software that grows your business

I've used them for 10+ years. It's a strategic and essential ingredient within my business. The team running it are innovative and ahead of the game.

PROS

Alot of work has gone into improving the system. I've used it for 10 years or so. It 100% stable and easily replaces 1-2 full time staff. The team behind it are constantly looking to improve and stay ahead of the game.

CONS

It has some niggles, like all software, but their support is exceptional 24 hr service literally.

Reason for choosing Linnworks

Far superior technology that grows with your business

Reasons for switching to Linnworks

Better value - you pay a fixed price, not a % of turnover.

Vendor Response

Hi John, Thanks so much for the positive review! We love hearing from our customers - especially those that have been with us for many years. We pride ourselves on key points you mentioned including innovativeness and excellent support so we really appreciate this being noticed. Thanks again for your feedback and kind words.

Good all round option

Overall an very good system especially when you take into account the cost of it compared to other systems. Does a lot but could still do thing better while providing important business task within the system.

PROS

- Has a lot of features that other systems may charge for - Has a chat systems for support - Can integrate with website and online marketplaces - Can integrate with many couriers - Can create Rules for dispatch and integrated invoices

CONS

- System looks a little old - Can sometimes not works as you need - Feel like some processes could be simplified - poor reporting and unable to link to accounts well or without paying more

Reasons for switching to Linnworks

Cloud Commerce Pro was a poor system and they could not match anything they promised.

Reliable and pretty customizable

PROS

It's able to cope with any volume whatsoever. Any spike or high volume and this software can deal with it.

CONS

The pricing is high, can be difficult to tweak for some less technical-minded people. Much preferred the desktop version to the cloud.

PROS

Serves as an integration between our legacy system and the ability to scale marketplace expansion.

CONS

The Linnworks team listened to my requirements and understood that our knowledge was limited, but offered the best solution at a competitive price.

Good basis for a eccomerce business

Using this software daily in order to process orders, manage stock and run basic reports is obviously invaluable to a eccomerce business, overall the system pretty much does what it says it's going to do. I do find that Linnworks support is often lacking and more often than not I have had to solve issues myself which can be frustrating. Setting up new marketplaces and introducing new processes can be quite hard to achieve without painful interactions with Linn Support.

PROS

Linnworks offers a fairly user-friendly system that can be somewhat customisable to what a small/medium eccomerce business needs. The order management system is on par with many other competitors and the new desktop version of the order processing is far more intelligent however does look a little cluttered so can be hard to use in a rush. The listing process for many marketplaces in pretty standard and does offer the ability to create an almost endless list of properties to suit your product types.

CONS

The software can be slow and buggy somewhat, there are also issues with using certain functionalities on Firefox/Chrome so often you will need to have both browsers open which isn't ideal.

Vendor Response

Hi Mikaela, Thanks for the review and feedback. We appreciate receiving this information to make sure we can provide the best product and service to our customers, we've taken your notes on board. Thanks again, Lucy Allen, Product Marketing Manager

I have used for over 7 years and is a good platform

PROS

Linnworks has truly transformed the way I manage my e-commerce business. As an online seller with shops on eBay, Amazon, and Shopify, I needed a solution that could streamline my operations, and Linnworks was there.

CONS

Over the last 2 years I think they have been bought out and the prices are changing alot.

Vendor Response

Hi Richard, Thanks for the positive review. It's amazing to hear how Linnworks has transformed how you manage your business and streamlined operations. Regarding your second point, I just wanted to confirm that Linnworks haven't been bought out. We acquired SkuVault last year to extend our platform offering and it now sits under the Linnworks brand as an IMS and WMS product. Thanks again!

centralize sales from various channels - all fundamental improvement request are ignored

well, it has been helping to grow but the recurring lack of support and unclear development strategy is really turning this experience into a bitter one.

PROS

Centralize all our sales platforms.......

CONS

All fundamental improvement request are ignored. They release new functions update but these have bugs or design errors. Despiting reporting them and somehow confirmed, nothing has been done to fix them causing daily usage to be painful.

Reason for choosing Linnworks

Great order processing solution for SME, but can be clunky

We outgrew the solution and found it increasingly frustrating to use. but it can get the job done for smaller businesses with lower volumes for sure.

PROS

Easy to set up and use. Proactive support. Low cost solution. Support many key sales channels OOTB.

CONS

Mapping skus by channel is clunky. Slow response on scheduled tasks. Occasionally unhelpful error messages. Clunky import and mapping via csv. Inventory control can create unexpected results at times.

Just find something else

If I could go back, I would find a different order management system. At this point, it's far too late to stop deployment, but nothing about setting this up is easy. This experience has been very frustrating and I would not recommend this product to anyone.

PROS

If I had a small company and only a few orders to process a day, this would be fine.

CONS

This product makes scalability difficult an is not intuitive to set up. The Warehouse Management System is buggy as well as expensive. The customer support is very weak. Our rep doesn't seem to know anything. We had training sessions set up for weeks now, but no one has managed to learn anything. No one over there can seem to answer any questions let alone even reply to an email.

Overpromised features of software and upfront director of sales lied about multiple items

Terrible. I wish I never agreed to a 12 month contract with them.

PROS

At first, I liked the look and functionality of it. However, they could care less about having a good working relationship with you. They will continue to charge you if the software is not a good fit for you. I could not be more frustrated with poor service and responses. This has been the WORST experience thus far working with a software company.

CONS

Customer service is a joke. I have no clue who is in charge. The [sensitive content hidden] jumps in when I have an issue rather than the account rep who was assigned to me. They are slimy and have lied multiple times. They say they offer demand forecast but they do NOT. They said you can track sales per sku same day but they do not. There are so many bugs in this software. Not useful at all. You are much better off using your own spreadsheets to track inventory.

It did do what it said on the tin... But it wasn't the nicest UI to use and needed some attention to get your head around how it all worked. It seemed the best out of the bunch of stock management.. Still had it's problems..

Great product a a great price. Just what you need.

PROS

Linnworks offers excellent multi channel stock control and order processing. In over 2 years of use we have not oversold a product over our 17 selling channels. Their customer support is very good and their prices are a fixed monthly amount which is great for accounting. e-commerce is not a 'One Size Fits All' type of business, but Linnworks is adaptable and customisable and fits in perfectly with the way that we want to do things

CONS

Some of the documentation does need updating, and a bit more input into their forums would be good.

Great software with a few issues.

PROS

Linnworks has some advanced functionality to make ecommerce much more automated and less time consuming such as scheduled imports and exports of CSV files. You can set up the software to automatically pull inventory data from a file every day, every week, etc. as well as exporting order data to a file on a set schedule. It integrates with many popular ecommerce marketplaces to allow companies to expand their reach.

CONS

Linn Systems seems to be switching their software from a program that was installed on the user's computer to a cloud-based system, and they haven't quite gotten all of the kinks worked out of the cloud-based version. There are some bugs that negate some of the software's great functionality, and the system just doesn't seem to be quite finished. Also, support is decent but not the best I've experienced.

Great Solution

Great tool for anyone looking to automate their e-commerce business. I have used many solutions out there but was not satisfied with my experience. Their platform has been working great for me. They manage my orders, control/update my inventory, provide direct supplier integration feeds and work with my Amazon FBA account. They also connect with my shipping couriers which allows me to create/print my shipping labels. I no longer have to remember all my log ins for my Marketplaces/couriers, etc. I have about 50,000 sku's in my inventory which was frustrating to get loaded in to the system but the tech support was able to make a little bit easier for me. This was the most difficult part for me because of my inventory size but overall I would have to give this solution 5 stars.
