Reviews are by default sorted by Recommended to software buyers, driven by our proprietary algorithm reflecting the depth and quality of the review, recency of experience, and other factors. As a neutral reviews platform, the star rating of the review is not considered in the "Recommended" ranking, and there is currently no voting mechanism that would allow site visitors to influence the ranking.

Organized and Optimized

We are not using SMART Software to its fullest, but that which we are using has brought some much needed structure.

PROS

The SMART system is easy to use. This is the first time we have a database of our company at our fingertips. The extensive, filterable reporting features give us detailed information on any one company or one device. I didn’t realize what I was missing in our old system until I poked around in the SMART Software. Now, I can address a recurrent issue before it has a serious impact on a site and take measured action rather than scrambling to get a fix in place.

CONS

I would love to push the boundaries and incorporate some type of back-and-forth communication between the end user placing the Work Order and the Tech handling the issue. There are a lot of times where a simple reset of a machine will get it back working. I would like to be able to update the work order with a comment to the site (reset machine). At site level, I would love some way for them to update the Work Order on their end by sending an additional comment. Or perhaps, a way for the end user to close the Work Order on their end… problem has been resolved.

Reasons for switching to SMART

We were initially looking to get control over our inventory.

A Teacher Must!

SMART Software is great for every classroom. As a teacher, the ease of creating and editing presentations, and for allowing students to interact and engage with the software, is amazing. I also love being able to save my Notebooks to use later as review! Great software!

PROS

SMART Software has many powerful interactive presentation tools that make old whiteboards or chalkboards obsolete. It allows users to easily write and edit on top of documents or within the SMART Notebook, and there are even editable games and interactive media for presentations. In addition to that, their updated SMART Learning Online Suite lets users create and edit SMART notebooks online, even letting students join for live virtual sessions.

CONS

Although the Online Suite has alleviated some of this, the SMART hardware can be very expensive, and requires additional hardware like projectors (and bulbs which are also very expensive). On top of that, several features were recently removed because of Adobe Flash becoming obsolete (interactive timers and multimedia). Many have been replaced, but not all.

Good so far

PROS

The software is very user friendly and the support staff is amazing.

CONS

The balances aren't up to date. The bank we use needs a swap after 3 adds for cash and there is no way to keep track of the adds and some locations get filled twice weekly and at this time there is not solution how to do two fills in a week for a location.

Vendor Response

Brittanie, Thank you for your review, we appreciate your feedback. There is currently a way to set the system that will accomodate how you are filling. One of our trainers will reach out and show you how to set that up. Please feel free to contact myself or the support team anytime with any further questions. sales@smart.software support@smart.software

My experience with Smart Software

We have become more profitable and are able do more without adding more people. We have done several acquisitions since 2014 which is when we implemented the Smart software and have added probably 100 locations to the routes without adding collectors. The money check in process is also streamlined saving office personnel time.

PROS

The elimination of all math errors. Collectors doing the correct splits and not missing or forgetting to charge for expense items such plush expense. Other fees such as machine license fees can be set up to collect on a daily basis which is usually pennies a day and much easier to collect from the location. Once the accounts are set up correctly any collector can substitute for another all the account details are set.

CONS

They need to do a test on printing all the various reports, some reports do not fit all the columns on one page and you are not always given the options to page set up for scaling, minor issue but does waste paper sometimes

Best Deal Around

We researched a lot of different softwares, and short of programming a custom one, this is hands down the best option for your money. They actually understand the amusement industry and it shows in the product.

PROS

Their customer service makes all the hiccups worth it. They are so responsive and helpful with issues arise and are really open to hearing new programming ideas to make the software easier to use and more tailored to our business.

CONS

Some things aren't as intituve as they should be and some things can get a bit redundant when you are working heavily with the software.

Smart Review

PROS

The email reporting, ATM reports and the route distribution . The ease in reviewing printing the loads quickly is very efficient. Reliability!

CONS

The reporting could be live, importing machines and contacts to routes can be clunky. Live navigation would also be helpful. As just an ATM business their are a lot of features that I don't think are needed.

Reason for choosing SMART

The sales and support staff.

Revenue Control

It's been well received by collectors, office managers and technicians. We were switching from a very old dos system so it really was a huge step up.

PROS

How you can add fee's in the the collection reports and the easy of the money room collections.

CONS

It's so robust that I get lost in all the different reports and not all the reports print.

Reason for choosing SMART

Smart was farther ahead with their software at the time we were looking to purchase.

Reasons for switching to SMART

Because of all the different features Smart had to offer and again the ease of the money room deposits.

reports are my favorite!

The ability to move all of this information into a program that organizes and stores it in a usable way has saved me so much time and frustration. The customer service is amazing!

PROS

I love the reports.. so many options and pretty much any start I am looking for, I have been able to find.

CONS

The learning curve is pretty steep... and I am still learning 8 months later. However, customer service guys are amazing! They answer my questions easily and sometimes (or often) answer the same question for me more than once.

Vendor Response

Thank you for your review Sheri, and I want to let you know that in the coming months we will be offering webinars for training refresh and highlighting new features as well.

CONS

Introducing it to the route & implementing it every week is a hard thing to do.

Having splits, adjustments and fees accounted for in the collections forms has really helped to quicken the process of collections with fewer math errors since the app does the calculations. Very nice to have.

CONS
