Without PawnMaster we would not have survived the past 25 years. The ease of use of the reports available are unbelievable. With just a couple keystrokes, I can access anything needed. I would recommend PawnMaster to any Pawnshop new or old. Tech support is stellar with friendly techs to help and solve any issue quickly. With the ease of using PawnMaster your business will strive.

Pros

This software is so easy to learn and use. Very easy to access all my files and reports. In 25 years we have not found a single problem with this system. Employees find it very easy to their jobs without mistakes.

Cons

For us, we found no problems with the software over the years. If anything arose, a phone call was all that was need.

Reasons for choosing PawnMaster

My cousin used to help install PawnMaster when it first came out in Seattle to the local shops. He said he looked at other software but said you can't beat PawnMaster.

PawnMaster has streamlined the way we run our store. From inventory to balancing the books this program does it all. Major time saver to say the least.

Pros

The ease of use and the ease of being able to make a new person run with it pretty much right from the get go!

Cons

I personally have not found a con with it yet with what we do with it.

Will not do business with any other software company . Best ones for our needs in a nut shell!

Pros

We have been with Data Age since 2004 and have never once regretted our decision to go with this top notch company! Everyone from sales to technical support all the way up to the Owner himself are nothing short of amazing!! I can not stress enough how much we appreciate the way these folks do business!!

Cons

Windows 10 updates wreak havoc with Pawnmaster but it is not Pawnmaster's fault. They do correct the problems after any update that interferes with the way their software operates which is all they can do.

I trust Pawnmaster. I do not understand how some stores function in this day and age with not using software. As long as we have our store we are staying with Pawnmaster

Pros

The report menu and management menu are a huge help. There is quite a learning curve and we still are learning everyday what we to use to help run our store but customer service and the online tutorials are a great help. A big advantage is you can pick and choose what best fits your store operation when setting up your software and always contact Pawnmaster if change is necessary in the future.

Cons

Some areas of the software need work as far as user friendly - with not being a computer tech savvy person it can be overwhelming making sure you are doing the function correctly but again the customer service we have found is very helpful but a bit slow to respond some days.

Pros

What software I paid for a product that I never got! And worse is they never refunded me either. The demo on u tube is all great but they promised so much and never delivered anything.

Cons

I didn't receive the software even after paying and never receiving a refund.

Response from Vendor

May 29, 2018

First, we apologize you felt you did not receive the products and services you expected, as PawnMaster prides ourselves on providing exceptional customer experiences in 50 United States and 30 countries. After doing some research into your account, it appears our development team spent time with you to ensure your software was set up to meet regulations in South Africa. Based on our documentation, they were still waiting on some information from you to complete your setup. We would love to continue to work with you, should you like to do so in the future. Our team would be happy to revisit your account and do their best to pick up where it was left off.

all I wanted was a free Godex jewelry label printer as compensation for 6 months of trouble and financial loss. I felt I was done wrong by being pushed around, the printer would have made me feel appreciated as a new customer. Everyone, keep a eye out for my youtube video about all my system's problems.

Pros

customer service talks with great respect and courtesy. The reports are very useful and specific to certain info. Thats all I have for Pros.

Cons

Im surprised my mouse has not wore out. It is increadable how many clicks you have to make in order to do something. It takes me 10 clicks of the mouse just to upload to the DOJ. Log in log out is a pain when you have to find something in the system.I had 6 months of issues in the beginning. I went through every upper level tech. Lost a few amount trying to get the settings right. I asked multiple times for a free printer as compensation, and they said that couldn't be done. Whenever they fix a problem, you have to watch that they didn't accidentally change things. One time they fixed my system, later on that day I noticed the ticket writing fee was lower.The data transfer came with a lot of bugs. One time, I had 4 people working on a problem and the final outcome was an "ANOMALY", no one knew what happened. Callbacks are 50/50, many times I had to call them back and see what was going on. My account manager doesn't always respond to my emails, not that he responds late, he just doesn't respond at all. Unless your computer is dead in the water, good luck on an immediate callback. I put in a request for a small fix, tech called, the line was disconnected. Waited for an immediate callback and nothing. Today is Saturday, I will have to wait another few days before I call back. This happened before, I gave up and called after 2 days of waiting. I hate it when they give me the run around from tech to tech. If the first tech doesn't know, he passes it off to someone else. Then I have to start all over explaining what the problem is. I went through 4 techs one day, all scratching their heads. In the end, I had all four together on the phone trying to figure out what was wrong. That is when I had the "ANOMALY."
