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.

PROS

The software is reasonably priced, user friendly and has very responsive customer service.

CONS

Lack of adequate training when initially started used the software.

Auto Markdown Ease

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

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.

Reason 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.

Museum Shop Consignment

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.

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.

Excellent value!

The Consignment Shop has been one of the best things I have done for myself and my business. I wonder how I ever completed my job before I got this program.

PROS

I love that this program takes care of the majority of my book work. The staff is wonderful and always helps me when I call.

CONS

I wish there was a class I could sign up for so I could take advantage of all it has to offer.

The Consignment Shop by Jeanie T

It just makes the processes easier, so much better than doing it all manually.

PROS

There's really not to much that I don't like about it, Plus the customer support is fantastic & they never make one feel less than when a customer doesn't understand the workings of the program or some of the how to's.

CONS

Sometimes it has been difficult to navigate, but only because the user was not familiar with certain aspects.

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!

New Consignment Shop Owner and delighted with this program. Purchased it May 2017 and have never regretted. Wonderful support!!! I can call anytime..

I would recommend this to everyone starting a consignment store brick and mortar or on line. Why pay more when you get everything right here !!!

User friendly and the price is great. I shopped around and there is no one else that provides the quality and customer service for the great value of this program.

CONS

So far I'm extremely happy. The staff is so helpful, respond to my inquiries quickly and always have a positive answer or solution for me.

The BEST decision I made when opening my consignment shop!!!!

PROS

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!!

CONS

There is nothing I can honestly say that needs improvement. I'm completely satisfied.

Consignment Done Right!

The Consignment Shop Software lives up to its hype! SBS killed it on this one. Don't be fooled by their website! The software is VERY easy to use and VERY easy to train employees to use. Something that a lot of other consignment software can't figure out. The reporting is perfect. Very useful for day-to-day operations and long-term decision making. Installation was a breeze and it's regularly updated. Recommend this 100% for your consignment operations!

PROS

CONS

None! This is THE software to use for your consignment needs!

Excellent software for any consignment business

I am coming up on ten years of Caroline's Children's Consignment Boutique! People ask me a lot what the secret is to my success because there have been many consignment stores come and go, and my response is always the software we use, great customer service and lots of post it notes. John Breidling and his staff are hands down the best support system for me and my shop! They are always there for me! The software is so easy to learn from. I looked at several ones when I started Carolines and SBS solutions was the best one out there. It literally does everything for me from inventory to reports to posting checks. It does it all. I highly recommend it for anyone shopping for software whether they are opening a consignment business or just looking for a change!!

Amazing solution only surpassed by tech support

We have been a TCS user for 4 years - from the pre start-up of our business until today. We have found the software to be an excellent tool in managing all aspects of our consignment business and our customers are delighted with the level of service we can provide in managing their accounts. The most noteworthy experience is the high standard of service we receive from SBS Solutions in the few occasions in which minor issues have arose. I would like to highlight that our business is locate in Eastern Australia so the delivery of timely assistance is no small accomplishment! We would recommend this solution without reservation. The SBS Solutions team are a pleasure to do business with.

I couldn't be more pleased with TCS software

When we started our consignment business in 2011 I spent a lot of time searching for a POS and inventory management solution specifically designed for consignment shops. We selected TCS by SBS Solutions and we couldn't be more pleased. The software is easy to install and use, is regularly updated with new features and functions and, this is the best part, the support is fantastic. If help is needed it's just a phone call away. They know their software and they know the consignment shop business.
