Seconds Count! review of SBS solutions

Initially I had many problems networking several computers to use this program. SBS support worked with us for a long time until we realized the problems were with our computer hardware specialist. After changing to a different specialist, the program has been working very well for us. This program makes our sales much faster and provides reliable record keeping. Support is always available to help us when questions arise.

This is so much better than the system we had before. For the price, it's a good program. However, it's not the most user-friendly program, and is not very customizable.

Functionality

Pros:

- email reports to consignors - commission tracking and payouts - gift card feature - having an integrated POS with consignment database is much more efficient than former systems (i.e. better than an Excel spreadsheet and hand-written receipts) - good price

Cons:

- unable to customize our own reports (particularly when fields are cut off because text is longer than what is visible) - limited functionality (only can see one view at a time) - biggest problem: difficult to locate sold items in multiples (because it internally assigns a new number for multi-item transactions, making it difficult for consignors to know what item sold) - training was insufficient, and at time of purchase there was no manual, and manual is still not well organized (no page numbers), and does not provide enough information on what each function in the program means. - printer runs off generic printer drivers as is not compatible with Windows 10, so provided receipt printer has issues (our receipts always print about 8 inches of extra blank space wasting precious resources; tech support unable to resolve) - unable to switch label sizes at will (i.e. can only print one barcode size at a time, difficult to set up each barcode label)

Vendor Response

There are over a hundred reports available in the system that were designed with input from store owners which covers all sales, consignor and customer activity. We continually add new reports as requested and tweak existing reports as needed. The multi-item feature in our system is intended to be used for large quantities of identical store owned items, typically not consigned items. We offer free training for the first 90 days after purchase. A refresher training class is available upon request. Documentation is built into software. You can click a button and immediately get information that answers questions about how to use the screen you are on. There is a ?How do I? document that answers questions on the use of the software. The generic text driver is a feature of all Windows Operating Systems including Windows 10 and works with all compatible receipt printers. As for bar code labels, we do support multiple formats and you can switch between formats at will.

Auto Markdown Ease

As I have stated, the automatic markdown schedule eliminates the need for more employees and reassures consignees of our efficiency.

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

Using this software for my consignment business makes the daily requirements flow easily. The feature that convinced me to buy this program was the automatic markdown schedule. I set up my preferred timeline for marking down merchandise in the Company Profile and this schedule prints on my tags; that feature allows my store to operate with fewer employees; generating more profit for me.

Cons:

When I have questions about my specific program I would like to be able to type the question in an actual search bar and be guided to the answer. The current set-up requires that I read each commonly asked question until i find the one that closely matches my problem, I find that extremely inconvenient.

Reasons for choosing The Consignment Shop

The representatives fielding our excessive amount of questions were superior in their knowledge of the product and demonstrated the same patience they continue to practice anytime I require assistance. Similar programs did not allow for quick and thorough learning.

I LOVE THIS PROGRAM!! Simple and Easy to use, Even for a beginner!

I did my homework, I checked all the stores similar to mine in the area, and on the mainland to see what everyone was using. I was able to discern that there were about 3 programs people seemed to be using. The best advice I got was to check out SBS Solutions. I googled the 3 different programs, and I googled SBS Solutions and read the reviews and loved that they had 24/7 SUPPORT! That was the biggest thing for me as I have a brain injury and was afraid I would not know how to use any given program and would need help. I phoned them and talked to John and he was sooooo nice. He explained everything to me, I bought the program and they have helped me every step of the way to grow my business! They train you at the beginning for several hours and it was so simple to use I couldn't believe it! There is also help on the program you can look up at any time. I found the quality of the cash drawer and printers to be above what I was expecting. I am so glad I trusted the reviews of this program and went with them. They don't push you at all to buy, just inform you, and I can't stress this enough: I am also glad I bought the whole package instead of trying to find everything myself! I have not had any problems with my program or printers/scanner in over a year of use. I can call them anytime and they are there to help me and I live in Hawaii and the time difference is crazy! They always answer or call me right back. I can only say I am so HAPPY I found SBS Solutions and these wonderful people to help me build the best business I can! They are amazing!

I absolutely made the BEST decision when I chose SBS Solutions for my consignment software...that is the 100% truth. It's easy to navigate and the reports are what really helps me. I've had to call John several times when I accidentally disconnected my computer and every time he walks us through connecting it again with such patience and ease. I recommend this software to anyone who wants to open their own consignment shop. I'm very fortunate to have made this selection!!
