### "Crimson Logic"

November 22, 2023

3.0

Looking for other available options for ACE/ACI manifests.

Pros

Easy to use, dashboard is a great summary. Can email or print coversheets to the drivers

Cons

Thank goodness for tech support. Too many issues, new update isn't user friendly and takes a lot to get use to. Previous version much easier to use. Nothing is consistent.

Reason for choosing CrimsonLogic Trade Compliance

Previous manager selected Crimson, not sure why but I wouldn't done more homework and asked around.

### "Early Review "

December 6, 2023

4.0

Still learning the system for sending shipments and tracking shipments with customs. many integration issues between company software and what shows up in Crimson Logic. I do like the layout and easy to read information.

Pros

I like that the layout is fairly easy to use and intuitive.

Cons

Integration issues. shipments that are accepted with customs sometimes don't show as accepted in Crimson Logic which delays our drivers.

Switched from

It was a DOS program and I believe company made switch to modernize.

### "Easy to use and great service"

July 2, 2025

5.0

Great service provider to work with, easy to use, and very little downtime which is usually caused by things out of their control, i.e. CBP, CBSA...

Pros

Very easy to use platform is intuitive and easy to use and the staff are knowledgeable and always ready to help.

Cons

Nothing really, its a life saver comparing to other platforms out there. The service they provide is excellent.

### "Crimsonlogic CA SEW software"

December 18, 2023

4.0

Good. It's a helpful system. I'm still discovering new ways to use it.

Pros

It's relative cheap and easy to use for most people.

Cons

The layouts are not configurable for user. Too much unused information up front, critical info pushed way back. Software is not intuitive, doesn't pass common repeated info (eg. AWB numbers) through the system. Repeated input of same info in various places, makes for more mistakes. Descriptions in the software and interactions with support team challenging because of language differences and technical references unknown to users.

Reason for choosing CrimsonLogic Trade Compliance

It was the first in line, I tried it and I liked it. Got good support, though language issues made it hard to communicate at times. Overall I like it.

Would recommend to any other business that would require their services. Great value for your money.

Pros

CrimsonLogic is user friendly and has great customer support. We have been using it for years with no major issues that were the fault of this company.

You do get employees once in a while that don't seem to know what they are talking about.

Overall, my experience is good but I recently asked for a past manifest and was told it would take 7 business to receive. That was 4 weeks ago and I have yet to receive it. I've enquired twice and was replied to but the manifest request has yet to arrive.

Pros

The website is user friendly and support is helpful

Cons

When I refresh I have to always log back in.

### "New Forum"

November 22, 2023

3.0

Overall I have used Crimson logic for 10 years and haven't had too much trouble in the past. Maybe it's just a matter of getting use to the new forum.

Pros

Takes only minutes to get done everything needed Any trouble you can live chat

Cons

The new forum is not as easy to go through, really need to pay attention as you scroll through. Easy to miss a step because it doesn't stand out as much as older version. Taking time to get use to it.

July 29, 2022

5.0

Pros

Setup was quite straightforward and customer service responds to any related issues within 1-2 working days. Overall, we are satisfied with Calista as it's simple and convenient to navigate.

Cons

It would be more efficient if the system is further improved to enable users to download multiple reports instead of having to download them one by one e.g. permit returns

November 16, 2023

5.0

Overall it is a very manageable product.

Pros

I absolutely Love this program, so very easy to navigate and fast on response time.

Cons

Customer service online is HORRIBLE. It takes forever to get a resolution when chatting. Seems the person on the other end is always too busy with who knows how many other users. Very annoying.

### "Great Service"

November 16, 2023

5.0

Pros

The response time is top-notch and the field completion is easy and straight-forward.

Cons

When an entry rejects and we receive error codes, they are not very helpful as I am not literate in the CrimsonLogic system codes. This forces me to reach out to customer service every time, even though the solution may be very simple and I could have resolved it myself.
