Keep Packiyo, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Packiyo you would be making discounted carrier rates and labels, which take an agreement with each carrier. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 41 of the 47 other inventory management tools grade higher. It costs $6,468 a year.
What you could make
- Inventory: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Discounted carrier rates and labels, which take an agreement with each carrier.
- An API that other software can build on.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Packiyo’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
