Latitude Manifest & Shipping System Reviews
Pros
Coming from Worldship and other shipping systems, LMS is the best I have used, it is easy, reliable, and has many helpful features.
Latitude Manifest and Shipping does a great job of helping manage all aspects of our warehouse processing, from inbound receipts to outbound orders to internal inventory management.
Latitude Manifest is very easy to navigate between different functions and menus. Their customer support team is fantastic and the system is very robust and reliable.
Pathguide LMS is a solid product that just works. We've been using it for over 15 years and have been very pleased with our experience.
Cons
The only thing I miss having is the function from UPS World ship being able to look at a specific day to find tracking.
This is also partly on the carrier as well. The one area that I feel as though needs some refinement is within the international dangerous goods shipping.
You have to put the heaviest skid in first and work your way to the least heaviest skid. If put in the wrong order it will not process the shipment.
Shipping multiple skids with FedEx freight is frustrating.
"LMS @ Ellsworth Adhesives"
Overall: Overall, LMS is easy to use, troubleshoot in most scenarios, automate and process with. Based on previous experiences with other shipping software, including FedEx and UPS's applications, it is a dream to work with.
Pros: LMS provides an easy and effective way to process our pick tickets through the shipping process. We ship an average of 700+ pick tickets and often times over 900 packages daily. An estimated 50% of these packages are hazardous or include dangerous goods, LMS's overall ability makes processing these fairly simple. We have had shipping software in the past that required several additional stand-alone software packages to do the same thing that LMS is able to accomplish. There are not many downsides to converting to LMS, especially if you are already using the Latitude Warehouse Mgmt platform.
Cons: Let me prefix this by stating that is coming from the perspective of a company that ships a lot variety of dangerous goods, both domestically and internationally, we also have a more unique method that is needed for our overall process. I cannot say definitively that this would not be better if not for our internal obstacles. This is also partly on the carrier as well. The one area that I feel as though needs some refinement is within the international dangerous goods shipping. Systematic talking between LMS and FedEx servers for international shipping restrictions is not always accurate. There are instances where LMS will allow or disallow a shipment that it shouldn't, often times but not always we find the opposite when processing it through FedEx Ship Mgr.
"Easy to use after you figure out how to fix the errors"
Overall: It has been good, very difficult at the beginning but after you figure out how to fix all the errors it has been very easy and lets you ship things fast.
Pros: Easy to use, makes clean looking documents for customs paperwork and BOL. Integrated nicely with our FedEx pricing and prints FedEx labels.
Cons: Shipping multiple skids with FedEx freight is frustrating. You have to put the heaviest skid in first and work your way to the least heaviest skid. If put in the wrong order it will not process the shipment.
"LMS Review"
Overall: Latitude Manifest and Shipping does a great job of helping manage all aspects of our warehouse processing, from inbound receipts to outbound orders to internal inventory management. The support team is quick to respond to any questions and will go the extra mile to help resolve issues or implement customizations.
Pros: The software logic is consistent across all warehousing functions, making it easy to train new employees on functionality as long as they had a base understanding of the platform.
Cons: One thing that I would like to see improvement on is visibility of orders once they have been picked. Currently there is no flag to track the order between picking and shipping, so things like order validating can't be easily tracked without checking the detailed order audit.
"Latitude Manifest & Shipping System"
Pros: Ease of training Intuitive flow of processes Evolution of software Product Support
Cons: Because of the adaptable site specific nature of the Latitude software cons do not come readily to my mind.
"Shipping made easy"
Overall: Coming from Worldship and other shipping systems, LMS is the best I have used, it is easy, reliable, and has many helpful features.
Pros: LMS is fast and flexible and very user friendly. We use multiple carriers and ship both domestically and internationally.
Cons: I have used other shipping software and I have no complaints about LMS from Pathguide.
