ShipWorks is Windows-installed shipping software with a local database, from the same company family (Auctane) as ShipStation. Dealer Portal's shipping module runs in the browser as part of the dealer platform.
High-volume shippers who prefer installed Windows software, want unlimited users and computers, and need warehouse features such as multi-location routing and pick-pack verification.
Dealers who want web-based shipping tied directly to their Lightspeed stock and their Amazon, eBay and website orders, without a separate tool.
