There is not a lot of feature that were user friendly. Cons Running reports and pulling information. Unable to assign assets to a person. Reasons for choosing BarScan We have after using Barscan for over 10 yrs we as a School Distict have moved to a more school based asset system.

Director Of Facilities and Office Services Public Policy ### "BarScan Woes" 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 August 17, 2020 Overall it's a good system once you work out the kinks. Pros We purchased BarScan almost 20 years ago. It has served us well and in my opinion is a complete asset management system and has saved us a lot of cost over the years. The system is designed with a platform of features that allow you to capture all the inventory information of your assets that is needed for an organization. The updates are easy to install and training and support are available at a reasonable cost. Cons While the system is not as user friendly as I you would like, instructions on how to use it is over powering and without hands on training is a lot to absorb. Also we've had a difficult time using it with window 10. We've had no problems using it on windows 7. The problem is that it is hard to log on at times and we keep getting a file permission issue notification. It took the support team weeks to fix, and even now you have to try a couple of times to log on, but it works. BarScans believes it something to do with our environment since they don't have any other customers with the problem.

Instructional Materials Attendant Education Management ### "Bar Scan for inventory Adult School" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 5/10 August 17, 2020 So far Barscan has been useful for the school I work at. the scanning process is fairly easy and made inventory for 3 campuses easier than expected. Pros Archiving items for future use, the software I know is designed to help organize all items in a formal way so that it retains record keeping. This has been the most beneficial for our organization, and of course going back and editing items that had been moved or deleted. Cons I feel like if there was a manual it would be easier to navigate, otherwise you would need some typ of formal training. Luckily, I was able to reach out to Barscan reps that helped me a whole lot but there is still alot I would need to learn to use it at full capacity.

Traffic Manager Oil & Energy ### "Really wanted to like it" 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 1.0 1.0 Features 2.0 2.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 2/10 August 17, 2020 The experience was frustrating, the setup occurred pre-covid and I practically begged for someone from this company to come visit us on site so they could fully understand what I was trying to accomplish. Requests were rejected, I found ways to use the scanners, sort of, but everything seemed to require someone remoting into my computer in order to manipulate the fields. When told that all of this would have been covered had I paid for more training, I was very turned off since the training was basically useless due to the fact they didn't understand the application and had no interest in finding out, again, by way of a site visit. Pros Several years ago this was purchased for use at another KM Terminal, the presentation by the saleswoman was good and her follow up led me to believe it could be a good tool for managing slab business. Cons The software is not user friendly at all. It requires constant "work arounds" and manipulation to make what honestly isn't an unusual application for it to work. It comes prepopulated with asset tracking for office furniture for capturing depreciation or something like that. It was not useful to our business in the end. Reasons for choosing BarScan We already had the units in hand from the purchase years ago, the hope had been with some minor updates we could repurpose them. Unfortunately this wasn't user friendly enough to do this and after the first couple attempts they went back into the box. Hopefully when approved for more capital I can explore other options.
