Without it my life would be truly be a nightmare. I work for a rather large agency with 8,000 plus assets and over 1,900 locations. This program allows me to keep excellent track of our assets. My favorite part of the program is the reporting. I get asked for reports on a daily basis and everyone wants something different. The ease of customizing reports is unbelievable. If the field is in BarScan, you can put it on a report. Everyone thinks I spend hours preparing these reports, when it only takes a couple of minutes to set it up. We recently purchased a new hand held computer / scanner which has really improved the speed of our inventories. It does so much more than the old one, but there are things I wish it was capable of. Finally I would like to comment on the support BarScan gives you. These people know their product and provide superb support. I rarely run into problems with the program, but when I do, the e-mail or call goes out and within the hour I'm back up and running. I can honestly say that BarScan cares about it's product and customers. In closing I can only say that I would highly recommend this product to anyone that wants to fix their inventory and I do recommend it quite often. Our inventory has improved by leaps and bounds over the years. The difference between what it was ten years ago and what it is now is night and day. Thank you BarScan. ----- ### "My review of Barscan" — 3.0/5 > **John** | *11 August 2020* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's fairly powerful and once it's setup, easy to maintain. The reports work well. > > **Cons**: The interface has a steep learning curve. > > It's worked well for what we need it for. ----- ### "customer review of Bar-Scan" — 4.0/5 > **Blair** | *30 November 2016* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Works well for tagging many new items of the same brand and model. Reporting is very flexible. Customer service (especially from Integrated Asset Management, Inc. marla@weinventoryassets.com ) is great\! > > **Cons**: The "Category" concept is not ideal for my application. Tagging of a single new item never purchased before takes some set-up. > > The workflow takes a little while to master, but once you understand the flow, the product works well. Works particularly well for tagging many new units of the same brand and model. Reporting is very flexible. ----- ### "BarScan" — 5.0/5 > **Julius** | *6 March 2019* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The server and computer setup is easy and not hard to understand > > **Cons**: the setup of the companies and the mapping to the drives > > my overall experience is very good, it is a good tracking system for the equipment that is issued. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/265295/barscan?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/265295/barscan) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
