EZOfficeInventory vs Craftybase: Which is a better fit?

Speaker 1: Hi, my name is Brandi. I work for Missouri Western State University. I'm the administrative assistant for the Communication English department, and I give EZOfficeInventory a three out of five. We use EZOfficeInventory for inventory control of cameras, video cameras, tripods, equipment that the students use for the journalism courses that they are taking. One of the things that I like about EZOfficeInventory is the streamline effect. I may able to add members, in our case, students to each of the semesters for usage of the inventory, and it shows reservations, it shows if they're late, things like that. So it's very user-friendly for not only the office staff, but the students as well. Some of the things that I feel like that they could improve upon would be make it more user-friendly as far as students or the end user. It seems to be geared more toward a corporate environment, whereas the things that we use it for are equipment usage on the academic level. The things that I think could be improved upon would be perhaps sending out notifications if the particular equipment or inventory that's been checked out is past its due date. Things that could be also attached to that would be being able to send out reminders specifically to that member that has it checked out, and showing how many times they have been late on various other inventories that they have checked out in the past. Keeping a record of that for a particular student.

Janice: I'm Janice. I am the owner of Quintessential Aromatherapy and I give Craftybase a five-star review. Before Craftybase, I was just using Google spreadsheets and that wasn't really working very well because I had to try and make sure that the pricing for all of my products was correct on the one page, and then I had to make sure that every other worksheet page was updated as well. And it got to be really difficult working with a lot of different formulas, and I couldn't tell what I actually had left in stock for product. I could just tell what I needed to make for a certain product that I was making. I was recommended Craftybase by Jacqueline from The Product Boss, and it was on their list of different software to use for inventory manufacturing. And I checked out the other ones that they had recommended as well, but I chose Craftybase because it was exactly what I was looking for in a software and it was priced for my budget. Getting started with Craftybase was actually really easy. They have a step-by-step guide that I just downloaded and printed off, and they also have a really great customer support email that they get back to you within 24 to 48 hours. And very friendly, very helpful staff. It was a lot easier than I expected, and like I said, it was step-by-step, so they made it, onboarding, very easy and a lot less stressful than I expected. For anyone who is looking at Craftybase as an option, I would definitely recommend to do their 14-day trial. It is definitely worth it, and if you have any questions, you can reach out to the customer service desk. You can use their chatbot that they have, and they have a really extensive help center and frequently asked questions section. It covers a lot of what you're looking to learn and what you're looking to do when you're setting up your Craftybase.
