Here recently, it has been the lack of expertise on the front-lines (although I understand several key individuals recently left the company).

With Latitude some of the technologies we have implemented include, paperless warehouse, customer compliance labeling/EDI and integration with smart conveyors.

Added to that and other pro is the shipping system that we added after a few years to replace Clippership. It provided a large cost savings and also improved speed and ease of use.

Some things aren't intuitive, support site needs to work with modern browsers (rather than IE).

Fun, continuously learning new features, great people to work with.

Great WMS system bringing significant enhancement to our operations.

Their software easily keeps track of thousands of items and also integrates with our shipping system and our ERP (Business One).

I do not have many problems with this software. Most the problems that arose were the problems with the ERP system interfacing with the Latitude system.

It is hard to fully integrate with the Epicor Eclipse host system.

Keep an open mind, and recognize opportunities to change or tweak your procedures as you understand the software's capabilities. Change is a good thing sometimes.

I like the elegance of the software design, the sheer amount of useful components within the WMS and the fantastic, creative, and attentive support team.

I really appreciate how Pathguide support is always available to assist with any issues we have. The software is highly customizable and integrates with our ERP which is SAP Business One.

I like the overall functionality of Latitude WMS and it is user friendly.

Latitude WMS has proven to be our best technology investment.

I like that I can add notes to the customer within WMS that transfers to the BOL for the carrier. The functionality of the route/stop is great for sorting orders.

It is very helpful for those who are in the warehouse business. Its having almost every feature a warehouse management system requires.

For the most part  - it does what it is designed to do - if not the Pathguide team is there to help. You have a strong support team who listens to it's customers.

Easy user interfaces, simple for daily use, good tracking, there are many metrics that can be used for reporting/tracking.

The system's unbridled flexibility also means somethings can frustratingly vague. But these are minor complaints.

If I had to name an issue, it would be the lack of a suspend/cancel feature for night jobs which exceed the non-production hours.

While we do feel the software drastically reduced out errors, the anticipated cost savings is harder to see.

The system is very well built and designed an the customer support was superb.

It has great pros that have been continually improved upon like Physical Inventory, scanning efficiency,  flexibility, inventory control and a great support staff.

It is easy to use, and the vendor is very proactive in enhancements.

Not enough experience to rate or state Cons - I am not that involved in the day to day operation so to discuss cons is difficult.

Outstanding WMS Product for Reasonable price and Excellent Service.

The Prophet 21 development and support staff are very knowledgeable. Many of the folks have been there a long time, employee retention is great and the knowledge is very useful.

Its a great software with lot of options for customization which can suit any size industry, overall a positive experience.

You can easily maneuver through the software and update the areas you need to, and the support is fantastic.

I have had their software for 8 years, and every time I have had to call I have had the worst experience.

There is an awesome World Wide User Group (WWUG) that is very active and supportive. We have tried to take advantage and apply all of the P21 features that we can and see great return on that effort.

Great software, just make sure you have the right parts to handle a quality integration.

As a 12 year user I'm still learning functionality in P21. It's a good solid system for small to medium business and works well in and for single and multi-location businesses.

If you forget to do this at a later date, you can literally cost your company hundreds or thousands of dollars because the wrong vendor was given the PO.

Out of the box it is weak without a strong development team because it integrates poorly initially.

Some features work differently on the sales side versus the purchasing side, which is quite strange.

Navigation is intuitive once you learn the function menus. User group and solutions database is extremely helpful for special applications.

Pricing and ordering guidelines are accurate and easily set up. Processing speed is good.

Epicor is one of the top catalog providers in terms of automobile parts, even though its quite expensive but they have proven to have the best data in the industry.

Even before they discontinued my software I still had multiple problems their tech support. I rarely write bad reviews but the last contact I had with this company was so unprofessional.

We had done a lot of set up before going live but had a few bumps, nothing that caused serious problems though.

I personally like Linux OS and this software is specifically designed to work on Linux OS. Its overall price is cheaper as there is no cost for OS.

Users have complained there are many steps (more than is typical) needed to do basic tasks. This is only an 'out of the box' product for very basic use.

Information at your fingertips - inventory, orders, sales. Ease of use and scaleability.

I really loved the Dashboards customization so that my client can customize it however he wants, he can see all the sales in a single place.

Great customizable features; custom columns, the ability to add tabs and add fields almost anywhere on any screen is a great feature. The master 'search' full-text search feature a plus.

Easy to use when it came to placing orders, which is what we used the most.

The intuitive ease of use, and the ability to customize as needed has made this a very versatile software package.

The ability to communicate everything about inventory, sales, purchase with everyone on our team at the same time. It is rather intuitive so training is fairly easy.

Sometimes reports were difficult to be pulled, took too long or were inaccurate. We had to pull them more than once and data wasn't the same.

I was working for a medium sized plumbing company as a Solutions Providing Consultant and they were maintaining their records in Tally. After some Google search and research I found this Software.

We have been pleased with our choice of software and think Prophet21 is a good partner.

The fact that you can feed it and update it with all the information that is important to your company, you can customize it and the options as far as I've been seen are numerous.

Wireless warehouse features,  ease of use, user group focus.

They work closely with Microsoft and innovative 3rd Parties as well as internally to continually provide innovation and better performance.

Weak on reporting capabilities. Can be difficult to deal with credit card payments.

P21 is very good in managing my warehouse and all that is in it. The openness of the system allows for easy integration of other product that help make the overall management of the business.

Over sold on a very difficult to implement and then actually use product takes more time to process.

This is a very good ERP system and from a Purchasing/Inventory stand point this system is very robust. There is nothing I feel like I need that I don't have.

When a data import has an error, it is not always easy to decipher what the error means.

The Dashboard and export functionality impressed me.
