Prior to using ShipCompliant we used papers and filing cabinets and only kind of knew the basics for certain states [in terms of license management]. ShipCompliant does all of the work for us and it’s all on a computer screen. Every time I’ve ever had a problem they call me back right away. Support is very accessible and helpful.
