Fast, and easy

Our company was using JD Edwards 9.1, and although this ERP did capture usage of materials, it was driven by only manual impute of consumables. With the addition of eTurns, our company was able to provide our 75 technicians with the ability to scan items in and out of our vehicles. This provided our purchasing team with real time, accurate consumption. Furthermore, this allowed us the ability to carry less items on the trucks and lowered our cost of goods carried in doing so. We reduced this average cost on truck from $20K, to $14K, while maintaining the same service levels to our customers. We also gained the ability for automate the managing of our ROP's, and ROQ's. The software managed our replenishment effectively to the point we were able to reduce out procurement staff from 8 reps to 3, moving them into other strategic roles. Our finance team also benefited from the real time reporting modules, allowing them a real time cost analysis of the consumed goods.

Pros

Light weight software, customizable, Very small learning curve, Great customer support, Detailed reporting

Cons

Some modules are only available on the website, or PDA.

Love the Eturns Trackstock App for Apple

Pros

The Eturns Trackstock Apple App is what I use most regularly. I like the ease of use. If you are familiar with Apple IOS it is very user friendly. Icons and options available are very self explanatory within the app. Eturns online offers many different customizable options and customized reporting that has proven very beneficial for inventory management. Their support is very friendly and willing to help you every step of the way.

Cons

With our extensively large inventory it can get bogged down when searching for particular items and this can make certain tasks take a lengthy amount of time. I have been told that Eturns will be making some adjustments to servers that should help the speed in the near future.

eTurns Review

Pros

The ability to track material in real time

Cons

Overall the system is slow and lags a lot which can lead to rework

eTurns User Review

eTurns has allowed the company to systematically standardize daily sales transactions. The automated EDI process has reduced the labor hours and transaction frequency that would normal be allocated to inventory management of programs. The reporting capabilities allow Gexpro Services to provide additional value adds to our customer by identifying trends and predicting future projects needs. eTurns has a plethora of features and solutions that Gexpro Services as an end user, has yet to fully maximize. My experience with the eTurns has been extremely positive.

Pros

Reporting capabilities Ability to manage customer owned inventory Label design feature Both the pull and order functions remove the internal manual entry process

Cons

The inability to mitigate duplicate scanning across all functions (orders/pulls/requisitions/work orders)

Eturns usability

We used eturns to maintain an offshore customers inventory with sight from both sides which worked flawlessly.

Pros

The software was relatively easy to use and provided a user friendly dash board.

Cons

The system needs "updated" better looking interface would be great.

eTurns meets our needs as a customer

Pros

Anixter is a distributor of advanced cabling and we've used eTurns/3 remote stockroom inventory software for over 15 years to help us manage the consigned inventories at our customer accounts. eTurns provides us with a solution that allows us to invoice on consumption, replenish as necessary and use one set of books to reconcile inventory. We are excited to move to eTurns/4 which is a browser-based solution. it is geared to our needs and that's another plus.

Cons

We wish they couldn't sell it to our competitors because it ends up being a good differentiator for us in sales engagements. Due to reasons beyond my control, this used to be the case prior to me joining the team

eTurns

The capacity this tool has opened up for me is immeasurable. What once was a tedious and manual process is now simple scan and send.

Pros

eTurns is a great tool to streamline our inventory management. It allows for simple and accurate replenishment, optimizing our customer service offering to our customers. It's versatility and customization capabilities accommodate our complex service offering.

Cons

I've had no negative experiences. When we wanted it to do something it didn't have functionality for, the technical team re-engineered it from the back end to suffice our needs.

Professional, quick response and Ron was always available to guide through process getting started

Nefco is just starting to commercialize the product but this software should increase our business and keep our competition out through inventory management.

Pros

The ability to bill material against multiple jobs thorugh use of work orders The scan feature and bar code functions are premier and easy to setup. The platform is customizable to any user level and the ability to take out unneeded information is key

Cons

I wish a master control could be used to set the views (gears - options ) for views. When building many users to a stockroom, it takes a good amount of time to individually go in and customize views.

eTurns review

I really like how easy the app is to use. When I am stocking items it makes my job a lot easier. I don't have to write down items or mess with paperwork.

Pros

Very easy to use. The app is very user friendly and I like how quickly the order go through. It's also very easy to change the location of items.

Cons

Least favorite is the fact that some of the locations weren't listed in the right location. It may be our fault but like I said above the items were easy to fix.

Great Product to Help with Vendor Managed Inventory

I

Pros

I love the ability to keep track of inventory and see who is using what when.

Cons

It is a little difficult to learn but once you understand it, it works great.

eTURNS

Gives great visual and control of our warehouse

Pros

The capability to breakdown data into a granular level.

Cons

Software is slow. takes a log time transitioning between pages

Personal Experience with Eturns

We handle Vendor managed inventory for one of our largest customers. Eturns has allowed us to provide a service to our customer by stocking inventory at their facility and keeping track of it with Eturns. This service, with Eturns capabilities, allow us to stock and sell more product for this customer. It also makes it easy to bill them weekly for material used and facilitate replenishment of material in a timely manner.

Pros

We use mobile app to scan material weekly. I love the the system will use those counts to determine how much material has been used, what needs to be replenished, and the availability of reports for usage and frequency of orders.

Cons

There is a ton of capability and it can be difficult at first to figure out the best ways to utilize Eturns for best results. Not the most intuitive, but once you learn what to use and how to navigate it is much easier to use day to day or week to week.

Great Product Management Program

Eturns has always been very responsive and helpful in answering any questions about the software

Pros

Easy to use, very detail oriented, CUSTOMIZABLE is a big plus!!!

Cons

Mobile App could use a few updates, but web platform is solid

E Turns Success

Pros

A tool that did our job. A job that brought good value to our customers.

Pros

It works. The team is great when we needed modification or technical assistance. Allows at a reasonable price abilities that hard to find.

Cons

We only needed a few of the extensive choice of functions. Added some overhead that is just in the way.

Great product...great company

Pros

Being able to easily use it on my mobile device.

There is an occasional overlapping of text after scanning a barcode.

E-Turns review

Overall has been good.

Pros

Cons

the uploading of new parts took a while. and it was not always friendly. I feel like the format changes every time I need to upload mass number of parts.

daily user

Pros

It is accurate and can help any company reach all inventory goals, big or small. It is also very functional from your mobile device and computer.

Cons

It often crashes daily, so I would have to reset my data before I was able to complete a work order. It may be my internet access but that would be something to improve on bad service locations.

Ease of use and great support team!

Time saving project tracking and expenses, tools tracking

Pros

Serial number tracking abilities, flexibility on modules and customization on fields. Customer support is amazing.

Wish i had eTurns sooner

I don't have a con to list here. The software delivers.

Great Inventory Software, Not without its faults Though

Overall it has been a pleasant experience with E-Turns.

Pros

It is very good at keeping track of inventory and integrating with our in house software.

Cons

The website runs very very slowly. Load times are longer than ideal.

Why eTurns?

It's been great. We now have the ability to streamline our ordering, tracking, and replenishment process.

Pros

It's User-Friendly, has Easy Navigation, an Accessible Platform, is Versatile, and offers Exceptional Customer Service.

Cons

The Transfer option. I feel like it's too convoluted.

Good for Business

Pros

Easy to see what is in stock and to reorder stock. Once you are familiar with the interface the ease of use is great.The ability to use on mobile phone is great and has help us reduce unaccounted for items.

Cons

It does take a little getting used to but I feel like it did not take very long.

Great Software for any size Company

We are able to track and charge for all inventory used. We are also able to keep better track o stock levels.

Pros

Total Inventory Control. Total user control and lock down for other users.

Cons

There isn't anything that I have come by that e-Turns doesn't have a solution for. N/A. Lots of user control throughout.

It is a program that in a simple way allows you to take your inventory and shipments flow control.

It is a very good product that allows to adapt to the needs of the business.

Pros

Inventory control in a simple and practical way, it is simple but robust at the same time, it is a very easy program that gives great results.

Cons

The configuration part at the beginning is somewhat complex but once defined the system works very well.

eTurns Review

Pros

Being able to use "wild card" look-up...

Cons

No hard copy training manual locally, basic training only

eTurns Review

Overall, my experience with eTurns has been very good and I can see myself using this for years to come.

Pros

What I like most is that everything is easily tracked with eTurns and it helps keep everything on the shelves very organized.

Cons

What I like least is that at times it take a little while to load whenever you go to the "Inventory" section and then press the "Item" button.

eTurns Review

Pros

It was easy to set up parts on eTurns for my customers. It was easy to acknowledge my customers scans,

Cons

I did not like how the software would take an hour after we acknowledged their scans to be in our system.

Use of eTurns

When it works, it is a good ordering tool

Pros

How simple it is to use and the look and way it is layed out seems to be fine.

Cons

Every time their is an update, an error message pops up, and it will be random different errors preventing the user to complete an order. This has been happening while using an Android phone.

Eturns Review

eTurns review

Pros

it is easy to use and easy to get help with.

Cons

eTurns has managed our customers' stockroom inventory successfully for 10 years

Gexpro Services, a world-class distributor, is all about service. Our business model is to provide onsite VMI to our customers. eTurns provides us visibility into our customers' inventories and automates replenishment which reduces our cost-of-sales to a minimum. Because eTurns helps us optimize our customers' inventories and deliver great service levels, our customers reap the benefits of this value-added service. We have used all 4 of their tracking technologies -- iPhone, eVMI sensors, RFID, and scanners and they've all worked well for getting us real-time inventory status and managing that inventory. Their support is definitely a strong point - the team over there is VERY responsive."

great and easy to use

Very easy to keep stock accurate

Pros

the simplicity of it and all the information it has for you

Cons

nothing, overall the system is user friendly and very easy to navigate around

We have used ETurns for over 5 years and it has performed well for us!

Pros

Ease of use! Ease of data setup and comprehensive reporting. Willingness to customize to fit my business.

Cons

Product is almost ready to go out of the box. Short learning curve!

This has greatly enhanced VMI programs at customers

Pros

Very user friendly and very easy to download info from the system

Cons

All is good. Great support from them. Easy to use product. There is nothing to dislike

Amazing program - highly recommend for consignment based businesses

Great if you sell your products on consignment or have a random/wide variety of items.

Pros

Very easy to set-up and use from both ends. Our customers were able to learn the system quickly and all loved it. Customer service is quick and helpful.

Cons

Aside from using this with consignment customers and select others during seasonal sample sales, we don't utilize this program much.

Great way to monitor usage

Pros

The concepts are simple and the staff is very helpful to implement.

Cons

I would like to have seen more ways to collaborate data, an API, import/exporting methods.

Great Software

My overall experience has been fantastic! Quick to learn, and there's so much to be done with it I feel like I am just getting started.

Pros

The ease of adding new products, and tracking the use of everything as well.

Cons

It's a little clunky at times, and slow moving.

NEWMAN E-TURNS

The product is very good. A Little bit cumbersome at the start, but once the kinks were ironed out by the customer service representative works well.

Pros

Tracking the consignment inventory is all done electronically, which is a very nice feature.

Cons

Setting up new parts after initial set-up is a little confusing at first and you need some kind of a "cheat sheet" every time you want to add an item.

Enjoyed the ease of use

Great for startups, and for businesses that are stuck doing manual inventory. I can't stress the ease of use.

Pros

Web based solution that provides access to everything that we need, when we need it. Multiple users at no cost, and the ability to control what they see or do with the software.

Cons

We haven't found any at the moment. Perhaps some minor UI adjustments, but again nothing that would be a deal breaker.

Warehouse Inventory Tracking Essential

The problems that we solve is that staff will have better options as to know what, where, and how many pieces of inventory is available. It will be a very efficient and valuable tool.

Pros

Easy to Track, Follow, distribute and return inventory

Cons

I think I need to use it more to know what I don't like, but I will send feedbace pertaining to negatives as I use it more.

eTurns - Customer RIM system

The eTurns system is mostly intuitive to use. The amount of time required for training has been minimal for our internal personnel as well as our customers, who are the end users. The ability to access the system on the web allows us and our customers nearly unlimited options to access the system, provide reports, and to trouble shoot system or user issues. The support, from the initial start-up and follow up to operational issues has been very good. The staff of eTurns have been very responsive to our needs and support of the site. They have all been engaged in their support of their system which allows us to better support our customers. There is a feeling a TEAM in our relationship.

Inconsistent

Don't like it

Pros

Not needing to use Excel anymore. Also the ability to use scan

Cons

To many windows, to many inconsistent features among window. Lack of support. Was not implemented constantly among multiple sites

E turns works well

I feel like this is a great step forward in consumables database.

Pros

E-turns is easy to use and works well. I like the historical features

Cons

The biggest problem with eturns is that the spreadsheets it downloads are almost unusable without heavy modification

Using ETurns to manage inventory in a consigned environment

We have standardized on the ETurns software to manage out consignment inventories in the field. We feel the ease of use and it flexibility provide us with the tools to satisfy our customer needs as well as balancing our internal systems and audit requirements.

Pros

The ETurns product is easy to use and adapted well to our system. It allows us to manage inventory in multiple scenarios. This flexibility fits well with the many disparate customer systems we encounter.

Cons

Like any new software, it takes a bit to understand the ins and out of using it. It was not a long period before we were up and running

Overall I think this is a good product

Pros

I like how you can easily and quickly replenish your Warehouse or truck stock.

Cons

Not much I didn't like with e turns. It just didn't work out with each individual crew trying to play some receive orders when we are always traveling on the road.

eTurns/3 is solid package we've used to manage the consigned inventories at our customer accounts.

eTurns allows us to invoice on consumption, replenish as necessary and use one set of books to reconcile inventory. eTurns helps maintain control of consigned inventory. eTurns provides a very smooth way to track exactly what the customer used and needs to pay for. Without it, we would have a lot more confusion and negotiations with customers. While eTurns/3 offers diverse functionality it is client based software versus browser based. The new eTurns/4 platform (launched in 2015) is browser-based and offers users the same diversity of scanning options as well as additional functionality.

New User

Pros

Once you get used to it, it's very user-friendly.

Cons

At first it was very overwhelming because there are so many fields offered. Also, the login times out way too quick.

Review

It has been very easy to use! If I ever have any questions customer service is there to help me out right away!

Pros

Easy to use!

Cons

Goes down on occasion and have to redownload the software.

eTurns Inventory Solutions

I think it's a great solution for inventory management but wish it was easier to use.

Pros

It is a very robust tool which is awesome if you need lots of reporting.

Cons

It's not the most user friendly but the customer service is great.
