GoCodes

Pros

What I like the most is how easy and convenient it is to use. Just by scanning the barcode of my tools, I can register their location, add more important information.

Cons

Although the cloud software works great and is easy to use, I wish it had more advanced features.

Pros

Go codes is a great way to keep track of assessments of student therapists. They need to share the assessments and this way we know when and where it was used and for how long.

Cons

I would like to see an easier way to scan or check out items. The layout takes a bit to under stand and use.

Pros

See the potential and notifications for low inventory. Like the ability to add custom thumbnails and scanning feature.

Cons

Implementation challenges, reporting, and integration is lacking. No follow up from GoCodes support to ensure we are utilizing software to it's max potential and confirm our setup is as efficient as possible. Feel like once we purchased the product we were left on an island to figure it out.

Reasons for Switching to GoCodes

Pros

The main services that we as a company provide are the tracking of equipment in the field and the location of equipment.

Cons

I haven't any comment about this questions

Pros

GoCodes is a good product to use for inventory management, tracking of equipment, and maintaining an equipment replacement schedule. The ability to sort, filter, and review data seamlessly is a tremendous option and easily completed.

Cons

Sometimes the data points that are preloaded in GoCodes can get "wonky" and alter your data results. Improved directions, support, guidance, for using each preset data point would be helpful, even to have a mouseover feature for the full data characteristics of each preset item.

Pros

Our Marketing team can see what assets are checked out, at which events, and when they are expected. We use GoCodes to show our internal customers the type of event assets they can choose from. We track the condition of assets and where they are stored so we know where to deploy them to. The reporting function is great so that we know what is out in the field still, who it has been assigned to and when we can expect it back.

Cons

Customer support service could be improved so that it is more timely and efficient.

Pros

i like that is easy one click and can use moblie or ipad

Cons

nothing at all have no issues works great

Pros

Ease of use, just sign in and go to work.

Cons

Not sure if there is a product that we could attach that is not a sticker. Just easy for someone to remove it.

Pros

easy get to a product and figure out where it is

Cons

not bringing over comments, from the other comp.

Pros

Ease of use importing data. Scanning works well. Geographical location is nice for locating assets. We have not used the warehousing section yet. Overall, if you need a easy quick solution to inventory tracking, and shipping tracking, this works very well.

Cons

Cost of additional QR codes seems a bit high.

Pros

The tool help one to know what ,where one and who has them at all times

Cons

Wow it is the best of it is kind therefore I recommend it

Pros

This is an easy to use program that allows me to inventory all of our assistive technology and durable medical equipment that we loan out to patients. The app allows us to check in/out on the go and with ease. I can easily run a search to see how many of each type of device we have and what is available to loan out.

Cons

I wish there were more features in the reports that can be ran (ie how long a piece of equipment has been out).

Pros

When it comes to meeting expectation for creating a database for physical assets, GoCodes does an excellent job at that. The app is very easy to use, it makes it easy in check things in/out as well adding photos and creating fields. There's minimal lag time between holding a camera over the code and it recognizing and reading it. The sites search functionality works great as well, I'm able to search and it will find those keywords within any of the fields available for an asset. This makes it easier to use a secondary way to reference an asset

Cons

A bit archaic. The site could definitely use a facelift that aligns more with 2018/19. It would be nice to create secondary databases, for example where I can just search once specific type of asset and see if something is checked in or not. It would also be nice to be able to create customizable views and dashboards that I can share internally with other departments who may be affected by the status of a specific asset

Pros

Go Codes is extremely User Friendly. Anyone with a basic knowledge of computers and/or smart phones can easily learn how to utilize the entire system in just a couple of hours. The features of this product are simple enough that I can easily manipulate menus, change information, update photos and change descriptions. we have used it for all of our tools, safety equipment and Fleet Vehicles.

Cons

The only feature I wish I had, is the ability to create "kits". For example; if we issue a tool kit to a carpenter, we have to add each tool to Go Codes and then add a key word that will allow us to easily find each tool for that particular kit, without having to spend a lot of time searching.

Adding a "kit" feature will allow us to add entire kits, with an attached inventory sheet listing each tool in that particular kit. So, if one carpenter is issued "Kit 1", all I have to do is search "Kit 1" and each tool will populate under that one kit.

Pros

It is easy to use, it has tools implemented that help make it easier to search for the inventory physically, you have the information of your digital inventory and without problems, you can download your data from your own GoCodes account and thus work your way too.

Cons

Just the part of being able to link the GoCodes database with the Power Bi software.

Pros

Ease of access and the interface are fairly easy to use. You can access this software and use it in the field or at the office. Great for inventory tracking and rental equipment.

Cons

Sometimes things can get lost in the system of did not register when "checked out" minor bugs here and there but normal for most online systems.

Pros

Ease of use and setup. Works on mobile devices.

Cons

Very limited reports - Need to better modify reports as needed. More options

Pros

It is helping us to track our inventory. The QR codes make this much easier for us.

Cons

That we can only upload one picture per product. We would prefer at least four pics per product so that we are able to see all features.

Pros

The product has been a real time saver for us. It makes it so easy to check out equipment for a event and track who is responsible for it. Being a non-profit we get audited every year. The ability to have an update inventory/asset report to turn over has saved us hours of work of tracking down equipment info.

Cons

The only we wished it did was have an automatic GPS tracking system. That way if equipment is left behind we could track it down. Our staff struggles with scanning it in at every location they attend.

Pros

i can see were may assets are on a map. and see all assets info on my mobile or pc.

Cons

I would like to be able to personalize my account more to our market, I would like to be able to print off of see my assets in Excel, and also with my own Custom Fields, (not possible for me although they say it is) . The date and time zone is a bit problem for us to know when the asset whats installed or purchased 02/04/16 means the 02 of april for us in norway but for gocodes it means 04 of febuary. so this is a feature we cannot use correctly

Pros

Easily finding tools that are checked out

Cons

How the tools are listed. Tryin* to find a specific tool n the list

Pros

The product works as intended and has an app

Cons

The software is to straightforward - No chance to change old system

Pros

It is easy to apply and create a system to track multiple assets.

Cons

Some bit of complexity in initial setup and organizing the numbers/assets.

Pros

Ease of use for assets management. Good value for the money.

Cons

I need more client specific fields and better keyword searching.

Pros

Makes inventory very quick and easy. I would recommend

Cons

No complaints about this product . I would recommend

Pros

It is very ease to add each inventory item, and to keep up with the status and info of each one.

Cons

I don't really have a comment for this one.

Pros

Ease of Inventory and asset management.

Cons

As far as I know, we have not found any cons on Gocodes

Pros

What I like the most is that all the information is gathered in one place, which is convenient. Additionally, it's great that all the information becomes accessible by scanning the QR code. For us, this is fantastic because we often need the information when we don't have access to a PC.

Cons

I wish the assets could have different colors on the map to distinguish between the various types. It would make it more organized. I also find it unfortunate that the text fields (free text under custom fields) don't allow much text.

Pros

GoCodes has allowed us to capture more data about our inventory than what was previously being used.

Cons

The reporting feature is very advanced. As a "smaller" business looking for critical information developing our own custom reports requires a learning curve in order to be set up successfully.

Pros

Scans serial numbers and data directly into your database

Cons

There are times codes and datas are not read by the scanner

Pros

Since I have started using GoCodes, it has been a very Efficient and organized way to stored the information we require.

Cons

Noticing now that the mobile app not the same as laptop.

Pros

Ease of use. The app has really made things simple for managing inventory.

Cons

Nothing negative I can think of. The simplicity of it makes things easy.

Pros

The mobility, easy access online, onscreen detail capability.

Cons

What I like the least about GoCodes is not have knowledge of GoCodes sooner.

Pros

GoCodes has been a great addition to our toolset. We utilise it to manage our sample and trial stock across multiple storage facilities and client sites. Our Sales team use it for issuing and tracking samples, retrieving quick information on products and locating samples in storage. Our Operations team use it for stocktaking and depreciation. Its great having a single source of truth which can be updated and accessed by all our mobile phones. We can now ensure we don't have lost samples and saved time in our stocktakes.

Cons

One pain point which isn't a fault of the software is that our storage facilities have poor mobile reception, which means that when we stocktake we take photos of the barcodes and scan them later once we have reception again. It would be great if the app could cache the scanned barcodes then update them once the app goes back online.

Pros

GoCodes are easily scanned with the app - or online input from the internet. There are many areas that I can add information about a particular asset. I can run reports very easily - and customize that report for my school's needs.

Cons

The new stickers they are using do not hold up well. I'm sure they would work in a corporate setting - but with students touching and using the assets everyday - the stickers where out or fade very quickly.

Pros

GoCodes is super simple to implement and begin using. I have shown several people within our company how to use the system in the event that I am not available. Training takes less than 10 minutes due to the simplification of the product. I would 100% recommend this product to any small business and even larger ones that are just starting to manage their inventory or assets.

Cons

I would like to be able to use a handheld scanner instead of my cell phone to scan products just because I don't like having to pull my cell phone out constantly.

Pros

That I the administrator or any employee user can look on the app and see where a item is rather than calling me asking where it is and me spending time finding out where it is and telling them.

Cons

That when someone is checking out a item with GoCodes it sends me a notification for me to check it out rather than automatically checking it out and just giving me a notification that it has been checked out.

Pros

The phone app makes it easily accessible where ever you are and doesn't require purchase of hand held scanners. The web poral is very easy to use and should be intuitive for anyone born past 1980.

Cons

It doesn't deal with special characters well. Example: Entering Microsoft Surface Pro 7+ as a model type often ends up with it dropping the + after saving the entry. This leads to inaccurate information being saved unless you go back and correct it until it takes.

Pros

Provides ability to apply a GoCode to an asset and create history and details that can be accessed at a later date. For equipment being sent to customers around the world this makes it very easy to track location and details for spare parts and preventative maintenance.

Cons

Sometimes noticed slow access but I believe this depends on internet access and location. Have had the stickers come off in certain wet environments.

Pros

Easy check-in/out,
automated emails when low quantity is reached,
ability to draw inventory/order list

Cons

reports need to be formatted to excel each time manually. I also need to delete many fields each time manually. Would be great if I could create a template of my customized report and would have it on one click in future.
I also calculate order quantity minus stock quantity (enter formula in excel) each time I prepare material order. would be great to have this report automated.
Why can I scan codes without logging in? was confusing until I found out (why it was that I was asked if it was my item). I guess there is a reason but does it make sence to be on first level?
Your format of labels are only available in US as far as I know...

Pros

What I like most is that it provides a fast and easy solution to keeping track of the furniture we have loaned-out.

Cons

This software has potential to be very good, but it lacks some features.

1. Images in Asset List view: Could be improved by thumbnail images for all assets. Currently, the user needs to hover over one by one in order to see a the asset image, or change views entirely.

2. If I check-in an asset manually, it still shows the previous scanned location on the map. A work around is to always scan assets when we check them in, but do not always have time for that. We can manually change the location, but it is also time consuming. If we check in at our location, it is obvious that the asset has moved. IT would be nice if this could be automated better.

3. Ability to do basic editing of asset images. Simple Rotate, Crop, Mirror, Would make it much faster and easier. Currrently we need to edit each image before uploading, and if we want to make a change, like show the asset in a mirrored position or increase the images brighness, we need to upload a new image entirely.

Pros

Expensive tools and equipment get moved around on a daily basis here. Having a tracking system is helping to make that process less chaotic.

Cons

The process of setting up and rolling out this program has been very time consuming. We have had to label every single piece of equipment and tools and now I'm tasked with training the field staff on how to use the app. I asked my rep if there were any already existing training tools (power point presentations, manuals), but they just directed me to the youtube videos that are really only for admin use, not field use. Also, it would be great to have some resources in Spanish since the construction industry has a high volume of Spanish speaking workers.

Pros

• The app. Its simple and yet does everything I want. I can easily do inventory in bulk and update everything at once. Changing only one field will make sure everything else stays the same

• The website filters. As long as your assets are properly named and consistent, the filters on the website make it super simple to filter exactly what you want.

Cons

• The website. It has definitely improved with the recent update that keeps your field settings between logins. What I'd like to see though (and maybe I'm just missing something) is a way to bulk update asset info on the website. The quickest method is to have the website open, filter for what I want, and then go down the left side and click on the QR code icon next to each line while my phone is pointing at the screen to capture it. While its a decent work around, it would be nice to just select a bunch of items and update them, all from within the website.

Pros

1) Very easy to use and teach others to use.
2) Does not have all of the extra features the large vendors make you pay for even when your not using them.
3) Being able to use on a PC and Phone are important.

Cons

1) Reports are very basic. You can get more info by dumping to excel, but that is tedious.
2) Standard description/item names would be useful, especially with multiple users adding similar items.
3) Better PC and Phone interface.

Pros

It does not take too much time to scan items.

Cons

inaccuracy in our historical of inventory.

Pros

The concept of it is great, However for us it just seemed like they didn't have services for the little guy

Cons

wasn't friendly to the small business owner

Pros

Helps me keep track of my assets and makes my job easier

Cons

It takes time to load if your in a bacement

Pros

The online activation and tracking is excellent. I have a rental business and checking assets in and out is quick and simple compared to the time consuming manual way I did it before. Simple to add new assets once you get the hang of it,

Cons

I cannot really figure out the depreciation reports but thats not why I bought the tags so it does not matter to me. Would be nice to have a feature to add multiple activations where say only the serial number of the asset needed changing.

Pros

WE like the ability to track online and make changes from our phones

Cons

The order of barcodes that go from the last number given when we need more or when we renew would be great...the cost is higher than we thought it should be

Pros

I can identify machines on sites when a tech does not send me info.
I have found lost units and identified what unit we were looking for.

Cons

Could always have room for more pictures on site
Sometimes when searching there is a glich from the search---
