Star-Plus Review
I love being able to call customer service when anything is happening with Auto Star on my end. They are able to access Net Help and fix my problem for me over the phone efficiently! Overall, I would highly recommend this soft ware to any retail business.
PROSI love keeping track of my inventory using this software and also for making sales. I would be lost if I didn't have Auto Star. When we got a new computer it was easy to install into our new system.
CONSI feel like Auto Star has enough features for running my business. I wouldn't change anything about it.

Pandora's Pantry Star-Plus Review
This was our first foray into a POS system and it was a huge learning curve. Without having a project manager with a solid understanding in accounting principles, it was a bit tricky getting some of our processes integrated. Overall, the experience has been a great learning challenge!! I think that because some functions can be performed in a few different fields, but the information does not necessarily wind up in product manger, this took us a bit of time to figure out and fix.
PROSIntegration within our own processes was not easy, I think that Star-Plus new users would benefit from a more thorough training process prior to going "live". Also, a must would be to have an internal project manager with a solid background in digital inventory management. The Auto-Star team were and have been wonderful to deal with, can't say enough good about them!!!
CONSI think that we thought it would be time saving in a different way. It definitely has helped with our inventory management, pricing/margin strategy processes. It has simplified our year end processes. Our day to day operations have also become much smoother. One piece that is missing is full integration with accounting software. That would truly be a time saver. We currently need to maintain two systems.
Reason for choosing Star-Plus
Canadian company with a history in Health Food Stores, we liked some of the functions it offered, which Smart Vendor did not offer, cost for training was significantly less at Auto Star

Great People
Overall it works great.
PROSWhat I like the most is being able to contact someone when I need help. Very helpful people.
CONSIn program manager, when left unattended for a period of time the active field does not revert back to the Bar Code field. It stays wherever it is unless you save it. Causes problems when you come up to a computer and assume the active field is the Bar code.
Vendor Response
Thank you for your feedback Mary Jo! It is wonderful to hear that you are feeling supported by our team! The insights into Program Manager regarding the Bar Code Field will be forwarded to our product development team.
