Mobile app is Android only, with no iOS build
Pricing is banded by user count, so a business just over a band boundary pays for headroom it does not use
A younger vendor than the ERP suites it competes against, so the integration ecosystem is narrower

monthly billing costs 25% more than annual billing
one-time setup fee applies to all tiers
per-user limits prevent flexible team scaling

SpireStock: Why does returnable crate tracking matter?

In dairy and beverage distribution, crates and bottles carry deposits and go missing constantly. Tracking them with OTP verification at handover turns a paper register into a reconcilable record, and shortage alerts surface losses while they can still be recovered.

Cargoson: Are there per-shipment fees on Cargoson?

No, Cargoson charges flat monthly subscription only; there are no per-shipment fees, providing transparent pricing regardless of volume.

Source

SpireStock: Does it work without internet?

Yes. The Android app is offline-first, which is deliberate for delivery routes where connectivity drops.

Cargoson: Does Cargoson offer discounts for annual billing?

Source
