Consider alternatives when:
1. Low volume: If an account is likely to fall below the $5,000/month minimum (effective January 1, 2026), alternatives without comparable minimums are more cost-effective.
2. Inbound precision is mission-critical: Multiple reviews report inbound miscounts and delays; organizations with lean inventory strategies or critical launch timelines may prefer partners with strong inbound SLAs.
3. High-touch/near-real-time support is required: Some reviewers report reduced responsiveness after ownership transitions; specify support SLAs in contract or choose a provider with documented high-touch service.
4. Granular inventory movement reporting is required: A G2 review cited limited reporting on inventory transfers; evaluate WMS reporting capabilities during diligence.
5. Stable, audit-friendly pricing is required: If discrepancies between quotes and invoices are unacceptable, consider providers with clearer contractual pricing and audit processes.
