### "Quality Product, Fast Scans"

October 26, 2017

4.0

Helps us track equipment, no more wondering where the machines are.

Pros

rapid fire scanning, cell phone app that allows drivers to use the equipment in remote areas where there isnt wifi

Cons

The UI is a bit clunky, lacks the modern elegance that software should have, looks like it was created about 15 years ago and never updated. (This applies to the UI only, not the backend) The software works great.

### "Trackabout Support & Ease of Use"

June 14, 2023

5.0

We need real time status updates on our fleet of reusable containers. Trackabout is a reliable and easy to use for our front line people. Implementing Trackabout has saved my team a significant amount of time and effort as we manage our fleet of assets.

Pros

Trackabout is significantly easiser to use than our old tracking system, and their team helped make our conversion successful. They provided quick responses to our questions and resolved issues rapidly.

Cons

Some modifications require us to enter a support ticket, as opposed to being able to do our own configuration. Trackabout does provide rapid response to these requests though.

Reason for choosing TrackAbout

Trackabout offers flexibility, reliability and an open-data concept, where we have access to all of our data for customized reporting purposes.

### "Overall I can get to the data I need, but it is not as user friendly as I would like it to be."

August 29, 2017

3.0

We get reliable cylinder tracking information. We have yet to move to a barcoded process, but I am excited to see the additional features offered with this.

Pros

I like that the system holds the cylinder balances and is accurate and reliable. It is rather simple to pull up a customers cylinder balance.

Cons

We have a lot of issues with our integration with Tecsys which does not appear to be a Trackabout issue. That being said to find rental rates is cumbersome in that I have to run the report. This should be much easier than it is.

5.0

Very positive. They are always helpful and take into account our ideas and needs

Pros

I like that it is easy to use and we can tailor it to fit our company needs. The support is good

I dislike that there isn’t yet an easy way to do audits for multiple customer locations that intermingle.

### "High Quality Asset Tracking"

June 7, 2024

4.0

Pros

The ability to track our and our customer assets from the initial transaction through the life of the asset has brought incredible insight to our business. We are now able to show customers exactly what cylinder was delivered, and when it was picked up. We have a real time accounting of all of our assets.

Cons

The customer service has been hard to work with since the pandemic. A lot of times we feel that the customer service rep doesn't actually understand our issues or questions, and sometimes all communication just stops.

Reason for choosing TrackAbout

It was a more robust software than TIMS tracking, and it allowed us to pick the best fit ERP instead of going with a mediocre ERP/Tracking all-in-one like TIMS.

### "Been with them for several years. The product and customer support have done very well for us. "

September 4, 2017

4.0

Pros

The trackabout team is very helpful in keeping us flexible with our customers with custom reports. It also gives our system more credibilty when asset issues come up with customers since a third party overseer is tracking all changes that take place. They are very accessable team if you have an issue. We use them as part of our value added presentation when we try to convince customers we are the vendor to choose.

Cons

Not alot on this catagory, some custom reports are very cost effe tive while some seem pricey. I am not a fan of the newest upgrade just changing the format and view. It doesnt seem as easy to get around to where you want to be, or at least where I want to be. I am sure the prompts are probably set up for the actions most used overall but as with most changes that have taken place in the last ten years I liked it better the old way

### "Easy to use, Functional & robust software for tracking our equipment."

August 29, 2017

5.0

Real time tracking of our expensive DME equipment and tracking of our 1000's and 1000's of cylinders.

Pros

I like the fact that this software is real-time cloud-based and is available anywhere with an internet/cellular connection. Adding users, items, customers, etc. is very simple and when I am stuck TrackAbout is very prompt when assisting me fix my issues.

Cons

There is not much to dislike. I guess the setup process is very tedious and time consuming for a company starting fresh having never used a service like this. And of course, bar coding each and every item takes a lot of time and labor to do correctly.

### "Great customer service but I think they may be motivated by a metric to close open cases. "

August 30, 2017

4.0

We are able to not only track but also reconcile our accounting software and delivery tickets with the software. It does take a large chunk of our time to resolve collisions and verify PPS but it really is the best way to keep our data scrubbed to ensure our customer's trust.

Pros

The flexibility that it allows. The mobile software needs to be fully off line though. It can log you out while on the road ( driver team) and they have now access internet signal.

Cons

Really just need to tweak the mobile software. Seems to be a small bug that locks up intermittenly on the PPS scan. Our team really needs the functionality of being able to add in the Customer and PPS at the end of the transaction so that we can meet customers at the dock and ensure they have the correct cylinders etc.

### "We have used Trackabout for over 10 years and use it as a competitive advantage in our industry"

August 30, 2017

4.0

Pros

The ability to show movement of the cylinders and provide the customer with data dating back 10 years of their cylinder movement. At a movements notice we can tell them what cylinders they have and even the barcode numbers on those cylinders and how long they have had it. Also , our team appreciates using the preventive maintenance logs on the larger vessels.

Cons

A large con we have is writing an order before being able to scan a cylinder with the new system. This changes the customer flow we have become accustom to.

January 13, 2016

TrackAbout has the best Customer Service, everyone is extremely knowledgeable and helpful on the phones and via email. It keeps our business as well as our Customers organized. Our Customers love follow on tracking for their own personal use. We have so many reports and great information at our finger tips to help our business as well as our customers. It is a Win-Win. It does take a little practice to get used to, but once you do, it is a great tool and asset.

### "It is a powerful tool that gas supplier can manage the gas cylinder in the entire supply chain. "

January 20, 2016

4.0

Already covered most of the scenarios that would happen in gas industries. The only issue is that it is largely relying on the instant wireless connectivity which will impact performance if the local connectivitiy is not well set up at some specific location where the Internet infrastructure is not well established.

### "Overall TrackAbout has been a great program It gives us a lot more visibility then what we had prior"

August 30, 2017

4.0

Visibility of our containers throughout the system.

Pros

I like the visibility this provides throughout the organization tracking our containers. It also helps us provide our sales team what the customer has out and how long they have had them.

Cons

The thing I like least about the program right now is I do not know how to find the information that I am looking for. I think after I use it more often, I do not think this will be an issue any more.

### "Overall experience is great"

August 30, 2017

5.0

Pros

Barcode feature Easy to use both on smart phone and desktop provides an organized structure for tracking assets support from the team in case of any issue and I must say the team is very good and patient.

Cons

Custom reports- you sometimes just a report for a specific task and you need it instant. As much as the data is in trackabout, I should have the option to download all the data to and to do my own filtering and adjustment. This will be time consuming on my side but I still get access to the data whenever I need. The current process is to contact your team to be able to generate this report in a customized manner. This is great if I need the same report every month and to save time, I need it in some custom fields.

### "Very pleased with the software. Awesome support team and implementation specialist!!!"

August 30, 2017

5.0

TrackAbout has flexibility. Can add comments / notes in multiple ways and attach to patient or asset. Can help to explain any issues with an asset that could be helpful to know in the future. Lets the next person know what has occurred if questions. This is a very robust system and feel I have not even touched the surface yet.

Pros

It does what it is supposed to do. Should have no problem knowing where assets are located. Multiple ways to search for assets depending on what criteria you have available to identify asset.

Cons

Software developed with gas suppliers / fillers in mind. I am a DME company dispensing medical equipment to the home. I track patients as well as the equipment. System works very well, but would like to see the last name, first name, middle initial entered in separate fields.

The visibility of our assets across our organization and that of our customer base.

Pros

The software has been designed from the ground up for the Industry. It has taken the most common issues and solved them in the easiest manner possible.

Cons

The DB is not fully accessible and able to be queried. I would like the ability to have unfettered access to my information.

### "Fantastic implementation, great support and a solid platform. "

August 29, 2017

5.0

Reliability, ease of use and good reporting and analysis.

Pros

It's robust, trustworthy and has a lot good functionality. We just rolled out FoT to a customer and they have found it very easy to set up and use and are extremely happy, which is great news for us too! Support is excellent. The software provides a lot of opportunity for us to expand it's use in the future. The customisation we requested during implementation works very well.

Cons

The mobile app is disappointingly basic and prohibitively expensive at this moment. The value isn't there for us yet but with enhanced functionality, I think this is something we would be keen to invest in in the future with the right billing structure.

TrackAbout handles the tracking of our assets from start to finish with few issues. The ability to utilize the application and access our information on multiple devices types is a huge benefit.

### "Comprehensive funcitonality and Expect more visibility on existed information"

March 1, 2016

4.0

1)Comprehensive functionatlity in general: TrackAbout does enable a full tracking of cylinders. The more I use, I feel it's smarter than I could imagine. 2)User actions: The action from end user on TrackAbout is simply a few clicks but for different module can trigger different result. 3)Custom report: TrackAbout did provide some report for management review. However, due to the government requirement gap, China still request more development on new report generation 4) Expect more Visibility: Take Integration Message for example, currently TA wesite only allowed max. 100 rows to display at one search, and it only display the message ID(without record ID, plant name). Considering all plants roll out with TrackAbout, it would be not that easy to monitor the interface status at TA end by local admin user.

Hello, Aubrey. Thanks for the review! Please allow me to respond to your last two points. On #3) We've been working closely with your company to address your custom reporting requirements. In this particular case, custom reports to address the local government requirements have been scheduled with our development and implementation teams. They are set to be released in the second quarter of this year. On #4) A custom report was developed and deployed to your environment to increase the visibility into integration message failures. It allows users to select a date range and has no row limitations. It includes message ID, record ID, date of message creation, the last time it was attempted to be sent, message summary, message type, status, and can be filtered by location. Hope that helps!

Pros

Flexible. we used the software for a project unrelated to its original design but functionally similar in activity. Their technical support helped us creatively solve our business issue.
