Spark Shipping Vs. Data Here-To-There

Data Here-To-There Overview

Data Here-to-There offers ready-made stores, apps, and services that help dropshippers get online fast. Their system connects all the major warehouse distributors and parts catalogs, keeping your store up-to-date so you can focus on selling.

However, there are several problems with Data Here-to-There:

Marketplace integrations: Data Here-to-There doesn’t offer marketplace integrations like Amazon or eBay, which limits where you can sell your items.

Vendors: The solution links products to one vendor rather than allowing you to link one product to multiple vendors. This means you must have a product listing for each vendor.

Integrations: Data Here-to-There only offers prebuilt integrations with no option to build your own integrations.

Inventory: Your inventory is based on one product per vendor rather than having multiple products with various vendors.

Product selection: The platform offers a very limited product selection, and you must manually delete products that aren’t needed.

Order routing: Data Here-to-There doesn’t allow for order routing, which means your order won’t be routed to the best possible supplier.

Electronic data interchange (EDI) integrations: There are no EDI integrations available with Data Here-to-There.

Live training and onboarding: The software doesn’t offer any live training.

Integrations: Integrations are limited to what the app allows, and it doesn’t support custom integrations.
