I only have one portal to open as all the information is in one place and instantly available. I can find a shipment and find the information I am looking for allowing, instant answers. > > **Cons**: You select and apply filters to run a report but you can't save it. If you could save a report it would save a little time. > > Ease of Use: Seamless onboarding and implementation are huge wins for any company. Support Quality: Friendly, approachable, and timely responses make a big difference in user satisfaction. Potential for Growth: It’s great that they’re listening to suggestions and actively developing—this shows a strong commitment to improvement. ----- ### "Excellent overall" — 5.0/5 > **Natasha** | *12 December 2025* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I really appreciated how consistently accurate the ETA forecasts were for all our container movements. The platform’s reporting tools were also very clear, reliable, and easy to work with, which made it much simpler to track performance and share updates with the wider team. > > **Cons**: When monitoring several shipments at once, I found the shipment cards a little difficult to read and compare. The layout felt slightly cluttered, which meant it sometimes took longer than expected to locate the specific information I needed quickly. > > My overall experience with Beacon has been very positive. The service has been dependable, communication has been proactive, and the regular catch-up calls have helped ensure that any issues or questions were addressed promptly and professionally. ----- ### "a great system" — 4.0/5 > **Alex** | *11 January 2024* | Food Production | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: quick and easy to get shipment updates and correct ETA I like that new elements are being continually added, amended ect to system so that Beacon are clearly changing with the industry Customer service support is fantastic, when do have issues get quick response to answer/fix. > > **Cons**: It is built around containers, for shipments of more then 1 container per BOL which we as a company mainly have (shipments of 10-20 containers per BOL) we cannot use the system to it's full potential I would also like to have more control over customization of how the system displays data. ----- ### ""Best coworker ever\!" — 4.0/5 > **Per** | *6 February 2025* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to understand Fantastic customer support flexible > > **Cons**: Sometimes information is not easily visible > > Very good. It saves a lot of time on stuff that we in the past needed to manually update ----- ### "Visualize your global Supply Chain" — 4.0/5 > **Christian** | *3 January 2024* | Food Production | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Transparent overview of your Supply Chain and brilliant visualization. Scroll over the ships and you know what products are close to arrive. Easy search function to keep an eye on critical products (you can also flag them to see those on the landing page). Creation of boards to share with your team or other stakeholders. Carbon emissions reporting included, which will become more important for Scope 3 reporting. An overall great tool to keep an eye on your Supply Chain. > > **Cons**: There is not a lot to add here. The team is going the extra mile for you to come up with new software tools or workarounds where needed. But there are two areas for improvement: 1. Development of an App 2. Using of the BOL instead of just the container number > > Friendly team, superb customer service, keen to learn about our business needs and adjust the system to it. Very smooth relationship so far. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ie/software/2069292/beacon-3?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ie/software/2069292/beacon-3) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
