The support was not up to standards and they did not handle updates well. They did improve somewhat however it still lacks a sense of individualized attention. There were many issues getting the weights from the scales, so much so that we had to use our ERP system to get the weight and then map it into StarShip.

• The interface is aging - The application has been around quite a while. Even with the more modern UI, it still feels like a 90's application and doesn't provide the quick augmentation options like what is found in Netsuite or cloud apps.
• A premise based - It's an application that was built to run on mini/mainframe environments, which were great for its time. However, in comparison to the hand's free environments in the cloud, it requires more iron and humans to maintain the solution.
• Speed to roll out new business models - It felt like, once you deployed a business setup, it was difficult to change and add new business features, especially those that contradict previous directions.

While it handles hazmat the overall package feels clunky and the support system could use some more attention. I can't say if they have fixed the scale reading issues, since we stopped using that feature. The endpoints have to be updated frequently and the service mode for the endpoints has it challenges

It is simple to use and implement as compared to complex softwares in the market that may take ample amount of time to implement. The budget is also slightly less to provide the same functionality that other softwares are providing. Also having Oracle database that comes with the system is much easier to handle and use and have much security.

We selected StarShip because both ShipHawk and Acumatica did not offer hazmat shipping at that time. The only thing that made us choose StarShip was hazmat handling so there was nothing to compare it against.

• The EnterpriseOne toolset is flexible and easily usable. Since they continue to invest and grow the product, we do get a good ROI out of it.
• The software was already here and installed when I started at this company but the business users seemed to really like it and adapt to it well so it must feed the need to manage our inventory and financials, etc.

• we are able to ship hazmat
• a lot of down time in the beginning
