Nexus

## What is Nexus?

Lets make this simple. This is what sets us apart: 1. Just look at the visual quality vs other platforms. 2. We don't charge you for modules (buy, sell, inventory, etc) because we don't have to. 3. We have more features and more worldwide customers (870+ and counting) than anyone else 4. We write our own software, in-house in the USA. Most of our competitors have never written a line of code in their lives, with them you wait forever for fixes; with us -- it was done right the first time 5. Unlike many of our competitors, we still have telephone support. Further, support for Nexus customers is FREE!

Pros

Customer service like no other! Whenever we have an issue or question we are always able to speak to someone and promptly get it taken care of. Program is also very easy to use, even if you are technologically challenged, it took our crew a half day to learn the insides and outs before we were professionals on it!

Cons

Customizing reports would be nice, but it is very easy to export existing reports to excel and do whatever you want there.

I have realized that this program has benefited us by getting our yearly budget under control and saving time by allowing ordering supplies to be quick and easy.

Pros

I love that I can easily submit orders from several different companies under one software system. I’m also able to keep up with my budget and run reports on it as well.

Cons

My least favorite part of this software was learning it. It’s easy once you catch on, but there are so many different things you are able to do with it that it takes some time to learn.

Compliance Reporting

Pros

Cons

Since it runs on internet my connection gets lost sometimes but that is a problem here in Texas with this bad signal.

Response from Vendor

April 17, 2018

Thank you for your review! I wanted to address the issue you posted: The software does NOT run on the internet, so if you are losing connection between computers AND the internet, that would actually be the router failing, you should call your cable company and have it replaced or we can help you get a secondary router set up to keep the computers running even after the internet router gives up on you :) Thanks again for your post!

Pros

In the last few years our state has formed new laws. Laws that require reporting and tracking of all sorts of different materials. It require pictures, signatures, and details. Nexus is very user friendly and makes it easy for our company to attach all the files needed to each ticket. It has also made it much easier to report all of our daily transactions with just a few clicks within the software. We no longer need to save files to our computer and manually upload each one to send to Homeland security. We have used it for quite a few years and do not regret the purchase at all. It also makes cashing out a customer very quick. It quickly determines whether or not a customer wishing to sell material is on the do not buy list. It has made it much easier to help local law enforcement as well. We can easily search for a customer via their identification number, tag number, or name. Over all I highly recommend the Nexus program to anyone in the recycling business.

Cons

It made me write a con... my only con is that support is in California and sometimes the time difference is frustrating. We have just a few hour time span when we are both able to work together, however he always gets my problem fixed via using TeamViewer, and we have never had anything left unresolved!

Modern technology, auditing and tracking for our buy back systems

Pros

I like the modular design of the software. Functions are compartmentalized for certain users based off the login. Buy back is only presented buy back functionality, cashier, only cashier functions. Its great because every sect of the business can be regulated, tracked and audited with ease. Not to mention, narrowing down the functionality for users makes it easier on them day in and day out.

Cons

The news tiles on the opening page. I am not sure if they could be removed but its a minor thing and has nothing to do with the core functionality of the software.

Pros

Nexus has made everyday transactions so much easier. We love everything about it. Our customers even like the way our system operates. They can see everything that we do on their receipts. Without Nexus our business would not operate as smooth as it does.

Cons

Every new software has its problems. But with Nexus they have made so many changes to how everything operates, it is so much better.
