### "Great product with best customer support in industry. "

December 22, 2020

5.0

Delivers info need to run my business. I am more pleased with the program the more I use it.

Pros

Recycler Guard did not sale me a peace of a program. You get the whole program not modules and no extra fees for add on feature. Simple to use and learn. All of my employees were able to use program within short period of time. Not cloud based program. I have been around several programs and they all nickel and dime you for service , equipment and supplies. Not Recycler Guard No expensive server. Customer service: You don't get just anybody, you get the programmer. He is very easy to understand.

Cons

Have no complaints. Recycler Guard delivered everything they said the would. All businesses are different and not one size fits all. Recycler Guard did all they could to fit program to my business.

Reason for choosing RecyclerGuard

Cost, functionality and customer service. I talked to several users of these other brands. They all said companies tell you what you want to hear to sell product, then comes the fees they did not tell you about. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] (Programmer Recycler Guard) was very up front told me what his program did and didn't do and all cost associated with his software. One Fee!

### " Recycling Program at Its Best!!"

January 7, 2022

5.0

It was a great experience! \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] with RecyclerGuard is very knowledgeable about the scrap industry and its needs to meet the state's laws. He is so helpful by phone even on weekends. The transition from the old out-dated program with another vendor to RecyclerGuard was a very positive experience.

Pros

There are several that make the recording of each scrap metal transaction a breeze......the ID/DL scanner imports the name, address and pertinent info into the program saving lots of hands-on time. Always know what your sales are, it is right on the face screen. The receipt printout saves the old way of printing each transaction on the printer. These are just a few of the program highlights and it is affordable. You will not go wrong with RecyclerGuard.

Cons

Having to wait a week to get the equipment. Our program was out dated and we were behind submitting our daily reports to Leadsonline.

Reason for choosing RecyclerGuard

Price was utmost for us. We are a small yard in the area. Once I viewed the how-to videos and saw how simple it was, we were sold.

### "Adaptable and Cost Effective "

December 19, 2020

4.0

We have had a great experience with RecyclerGuard as evidenced by our buying 2 additional systems for our new locations.

Pros

As a start-up, we needed a cost effective system that could adapt to the unknowns that were inevitable. We needed to meet legal requirements at a minimum but hoped the unforeseen enhancements could be accommodated. The support from RecyclerGuard to meet our changing needs has been excellent.

Cons

An exhaustive user’s manual that documents all aspects of the system might have helped new employees get familiar quicker, but phone support was always available to answer questions and clear up confusion.

Reason for choosing RecyclerGuard

As a start-up, our decision was based on meeting regulatory requirements with a low initial cost solution.

### "can not go wrong with recyclerguard"

December 18, 2020

5.0

i am old school and i thought this was a system that would require highly educated people to run- but we have people with a 8th grade education that use and implement the primary functions of the system

Pros

pictures,signatures,drivers licence,truck info,material bought and purchase price sent to law enforcement daily with one click of a button-able to comply with all aspects of state law requirements-unbelievable access to support team when we have a problem-can tell peak times of day when we have highest sales-can see which materials we purchase most of- can see which customers generate highest sales for us-

Cons

wish there was way to upload each purchase" real time" to our bank for" positive pay" but our bank will not give up sensitive security info to make this happen

### "Good To Go Recycle Endorsement of RecyclerGuard"

March 2, 2021

5.0

Recycler Guard has enabled us to track sales and inventory and comply with State requirements for reporting of all regulated scrap metal material.

Pros

As a user of many different software platforms I have found that the technical support from RecyclerGuard is simply put the best that I have ever dealt with. As the \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] and Programmer of the software \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] provides hands on technical support most anytime of the day. Additional, \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] is enthusiastic in his support and is proactive in making calls to ensure that things are going well. In my experience the level of support that \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] provides is truly unique and sets his company apart from all others.

Cons

Any cons that we have found have been quickly addressed by Recycler Guard.

### "Exceptional program for our scrap metal recycling business!!"

January 15, 2022

5.0

Overall we have had a very good experience with the Recycler Guard program. It does exactly what it is advertised to do. The program is constantly being upgraded with new and better features. We all love that all suggestions are taken into consideration for further software improvements.

Pros

Customer service is always our number one factor in buying a product. Henry is exceptional about listening to our issues or suggestions we may have. He is always happy to listen to our suggestions and make any changes that help fit our needs. Recycler Guard does an excellent job as an inventory, selling, and buy program as well as keep us in compliance with all state and federal laws pertaining to buying scrap metals.

Cons

Only issues I've had are some of the hardware items that are used in conjunction with the program (ID reader, signature pad, etc...). It seemed like we had a run of bad luck getting properly functioning hardware in the beginning. However, Henry always sends any replacement parts necessary very quickly and at no charge. This has kept us up and running with little to no down time.

Reason for choosing RecyclerGuard

We are a fairly small scrap metal recycling facility. At the time price was a big factor in our decision making process. This software met all of our expectations then and continues to meet them as our company grows.
