We loved the demo from Bar|Scan Asset Manager. They had all the features we needed. It allowed us to bar code all of the assets that we needed. Sadly our ERP (SAP S/4HANA) only allows us to integrate with a small amount of software — so we had to go with their home grown system
Allows for bar coding of assets. Great reporting modules Let us report across multiple entities
Our ERP did not allow us to use them. (not Bar|Scans fault
Great comprehensive asset management system with integrated handhelds. Strong training program and great responsive technical support service. Turn key system designed for asset management! Performed inventories and implemented Bar|Scan for over 100 public and private sector companies on premises and in the cloud worldwide.
Integrated handheld configurations allow users to modify handheld program to meet requirements of each user. User definable fields allow quick customization to meet unique requirements. Import/Export Module allows easy interfaces with finance, human resources, facilities, mobile device management and information systems.
It could be free, otherwise, I’m very happy!
Our agency has been using Bar|Scan software for 20 years. Me personally for 17 years and can find nothing negative to say about it. Our inventory consists of nearly 6,000 assets and without Bar|Scan it would be a mess. It makes tracking assets a breeze, the reports are awesome and very easily customized for your needs. As for the support, any time I’ve had issues they take care of it pretty much immediately. I’m anything but IT savvy and have trouble with upgrades and the like. The staff at Bar|Scan is extremely helpful and patient when I need them. Over the years I’ve had the chance to review other inventory software and nothing compares to Bar|Scan.
My favorite thing about Bar|Scan is the reporting capabilities. I am constantly asked to produce different types of inventory reports and with Bar|Scan it’s very easy. You can set up reports that you use on a regular basis and lock them down so they can’t be changed. When the report is requested, I change the date in the report name, hit a button and I have the report. The requester always comment and thanks me for getting them the report so quickly. There’s a very wide variety of reports that come with the software and they can be used to make your custom reports. I love the reporting part of the software.
There is only one thing I would like to see changed. I know there is a way to do it because they’ve told me how but I can’t figure it out. I have several users that have a tendency to be in the program and just walk away without logging out of Bar|Scan. If I run into a problem and need to run maintenance, I can’t because there is someone in the system. Sometimes they go home and I’m left until the next day. What I’d like to see is a button that allows the administrator to basically throw someone out of the system if they can’t be reached. I’ve had this happen and it really causes me problems. Other than that I have no complaints about the software.
BarScan is an easy to use barcode asset management program that can be used to track and manage all types of assets. Have used for school inventories, capital assets, maintainable assets and fixed assets deemed of value.
What I like best is the flexibility so that a project can be designed exactly to meet a customers need and requirements.
Personally, there really isn’t a least liked but have a situation where there may be an improvement possible. We have designed a customer program where information enter into the BarScan catalog description, Manufacturer and Model number needs also to be also entered into custom designed template of customer data so as to be congruent. Currently use control c & v to cut and paste from the BarScan catalog screen to custom designed customer template.
Customer descriptions are generally larger than the field spaces allowed by BarScan.
