"Very easy to use. Added items is very easy. I like the notification alert for low inventory."

Nancy R.

"Mobile access allows us to input changes in the warehouse, rather than write it all down and input it later. This saves not only time but paper as well."

Cassandra R.

"Overall, it's been a delight. It's easily customized, consistently functions well, allows us to run the reports we need for inventory tracking and auditing, and it's easy to use, so it's easy to onboard new volunteers who join our Inventory Team."

Kristen B.

"This is by far the best Inventory Management Software that I've used. Not only is it simple but it's also powerfully customizable to set options just the way you desire. "

V.O.

"It is very easy to use. It is at our fingertips and also available on the computer for my assistant to be able to manage our inventory for our uniforms and equipment. We are able to assign the equipment to each individual and know what is with whom."

Elizabeth S.

"I run an insurance restoration company and we keep about $30,000 in supplies on average. This helps us manage, order, and protect our inventory. We use three people to manage this process and it saves me about 20% of the value each year. "

Jay Van Deusen

"I love that in a minute I can add a new person to the system and check items out to them so easily. Knowing where our open house signs and lockboxes are at all the time is very helpful!"
