Thrive by Shopventory vs EZOfficeInventory: Which is a better fit?

Jared W.: My name is Jared. I'm a systems administrator, and we give Stopventory a five out of five stars. For more reviews like this one, click the link below. So one of the things that we were lacking in our inventory management was the ability to control cost of goods sold. With that being said, we started looking into other systems that would integrate with Square, our POS, to help us with these issues. There's two main reasons why we chose Stopventory. One was the ability to add cost of goods to the products that we had to maintain an accurate value of our inventory. The second was the ability to link our Square system with multiple locations to maintain inventory control over all our multiple locations at once and to be able to do internal transfers. When we first started with Stopventory, we had a lot of stuff in Square. We didn't want to have to reenter all that information to Stopventory So we worked with the Stopventory team who was great with their customer support and helped us migrate all of those entries from Square into Stopventory and link the two systems together. My biggest recommendation to those that are looking for inventory management software, if you choose Stopventory, definitely lean on their customer support. They know what they're doing and they're able to take care of you and save you a lot more time than you would have if you tried to implement it yourself.

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.
