GoCodes Erfahrungen

Vorteile

The online activation and tracking is excellent. I have a rental business and checking assets in and out is quick and simple compared to the time consuming manual way I did it before. Simple to add new assets once you get the hang of it,

Nachteile

I cannot really figure out the depreciation reports but thats not why I bought the tags so it does not matter to me. Would be nice to have a feature to add multiple activations where say only the serial number of the asset needed changing.

Vorteile

Easy to add/delete things, very intuitive product (easy to use).

Nachteile

I wish the customized columns had a "paragraph" type of option so that we would have another area to make notes about the asset.

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen

Charms

Gründe für den Wechsel zu GoCodes

Liked GoCodes options and ease of use compared to Charms. Using Destiny in conjunction with GoCodes.

Vorteile

Easy check-in/out,
automated emails when low quantity is reached,
ability to draw inventory/order list

Nachteile

reports need to be formatted to excel each time manually. I also need to delete many fields each time manually. Would be great if I could create a template of my customized report and would have it on one click in future.
I also calculate order quantity minus stock quantity (enter formula in excel) each time I prepare material order. would be great to have this report automated.
Why can I scan codes without logging in? was confusing until I found out (why it was that I was asked if it was my item). I guess there is a reason but does it make sence to be on first level?
Your format of labels are only available in US as far as I know...

Vorteile

When it comes to meeting expectation for creating a database for physical assets, GoCodes does an excellent job at that. The app is very easy to use, it makes it easy in check things in/out as well adding photos and creating fields. There's minimal lag time between holding a camera over the code and it recognizing and reading it. The sites search functionality works great as well, I'm able to search and it will find those keywords within any of the fields available for an asset. This makes it easier to use a secondary way to reference an asset

Nachteile

A bit archaic. The site could definitely use a facelift that aligns more with 2018/19. It would be nice to create secondary databases, for example where I can just search once specific type of asset and see if something is checked in or not. It would also be nice to be able to create customizable views and dashboards that I can share internally with other departments who may be affected by the status of a specific asset

Vorteile

The concept of it is great, However for us it just seemed like they didn't have services for the little guy

Nachteile

wasn't friendly to the small business owner

Vorteile

GoCodes makes tracking inventory super easy by assigning a unique QR-code to each item. This helps my business particularly in making sure that we are not picking and shipping wrong items for our orders.

Nachteile

Overall, I am disappointed that the lowest priced plan includes only 200 allowed SKUs. If you want to go to the next package which allows for 500 SKUs, you’ll pay three times the monthly rate of the base plan.

Vorteile

Simple Set up.
Easy to use.
Doesn't take up to much phone space.

Nachteile

Software can be slow at times.

I have found nothing else which has been a problem for me.

Vorteile

The nice thing is that we can bulk describe and allocate units. On the phone makes it easy on the go for a large non profit like us.

Nachteile

Prone to crashes especially when working through multiple units and details.

Vorteile

I liked how easy it is to use his product, specially the scanning feature. Instead of typing your code you can easily just scan it and find it

Nachteile

No dislikes so far, haven’t run into any issues

Vorteile

easy to use and set up not hard to navigate

Nachteile

don't like the way it works on apple products work with it needs work

Vorteile

What I like most is that it provides a fast and easy solution to keeping track of the furniture we have loaned-out.

Nachteile

This software has potential to be very good, but it lacks some features.

1. Images in Asset List view: Could be improved by thumbnail images for all assets. Currently, the user needs to hover over one by one in order to see a the asset image, or change views entirely.

2. If I check-in an asset manually, it still shows the previous scanned location on the map. A work around is to always scan assets when we check them in, but do not always have time for that. We can manually change the location, but it is also time consuming. If we check in at our location, it is obvious that the asset has moved. IT would be nice if this could be automated better.

3. Ability to do basic editing of asset images. Simple Rotate, Crop, Mirror, Would make it much faster and easier. Currrently we need to edit each image before uploading, and if we want to make a change, like show the asset in a mirrored position or increase the images brighness, we need to upload a new image entirely.

Vorteile

Go Codes is extremely User Friendly. Anyone with a basic knowledge of computers and/or smart phones can easily learn how to utilize the entire system in just a couple of hours. The features of this product are simple enough that I can easily manipulate menus, change information, update photos and change descriptions. we have used it for all of our tools, safety equipment and Fleet Vehicles.

Nachteile

The only feature I wish I had, is the ability to create "kits". For example; if we issue a tool kit to a carpenter, we have to add each tool to Go Codes and then add a key word that will allow us to easily find each tool for that particular kit, without having to spend a lot of time searching.

Adding a "kit" feature will allow us to add entire kits, with an attached inventory sheet listing each tool in that particular kit. So, if one carpenter is issued "Kit 1", all I have to do is search "Kit 1" and each tool will populate under that one kit.

Vorteile

• The app. Its simple and yet does everything I want. I can easily do inventory in bulk and update everything at once. Changing only one field will make sure everything else stays the same

• The website filters. As long as your assets are properly named and consistent, the filters on the website make it super simple to filter exactly what you want.

Nachteile

• The website. It has definitely improved with the recent update that keeps your field settings between logins. What I'd like to see though (and maybe I'm just missing something) is a way to bulk update asset info on the website. The quickest method is to have the website open, filter for what I want, and then go down the left side and click on the QR code icon next to each line while my phone is pointing at the screen to capture it. While its a decent work around, it would be nice to just select a bunch of items and update them, all from within the website.

Vorteile

Expensive tools and equipment get moved around on a daily basis here. Having a tracking system is helping to make that process less chaotic.

Nachteile

The process of setting up and rolling out this program has been very time consuming. We have had to label every single piece of equipment and tools and now I'm tasked with training the field staff on how to use the app. I asked my rep if there were any already existing training tools (power point presentations, manuals), but they just directed me to the youtube videos that are really only for admin use, not field use. Also, it would be great to have some resources in Spanish since the construction industry has a high volume of Spanish speaking workers.

Vorteile

i can see were may assets are on a map. and see all assets info on my mobile or pc.

Nachteile

I would like to be able to personalize my account more to our market, I would like to be able to print off of see my assets in Excel, and also with my own Custom Fields, (not possible for me although they say it is) . The date and time zone is a bit problem for us to know when the asset whats installed or purchased 02/04/16 means the 02 of april for us in norway but for gocodes it means 04 of febuary. so this is a feature we cannot use correctly

Vorteile

Ease of set up and support. We misunderstood a few things at the beginning but support was so helpful in helping us. Great customer service.

Nachteile

For our purposes we needed some additional equipment to erect it’s use. But we operated fine manually with this until we set up an electronic process.

Vorteile

The images, custom fields, app tools, and location services.

Nachteile

No email to admin on assignment and unassignment

Vorteile

The ease of putting a sticker in the asset. The ease of scanning the asset. The ability to scan multiple assets

Nachteile

The scanner doesn’t always work. Having to manually put in all of the info for each asset into the system

Vorteile

We love how easy it is to scan an item in and out of the department. It's FAST and easy. The Faculty love it and the students find it easy too. No more hassles!

Nachteile

It does take some time to put all the info for each item into the GoCode system, but it would be that way with any system.

Vorteile

It is easy to use, it has tools implemented that help make it easier to search for the inventory physically, you have the information of your digital inventory and without problems, you can download your data from your own GoCodes account and thus work your way too.

Nachteile

Just the part of being able to link the GoCodes database with the Power Bi software.

Vorteile

I like the ability to print our asset list by location so we can always have our foreman verify the assets on their job.

Nachteile

I think there are too many options to list for each asset, it should be kept more simple.

Vorteile

Great GPS tracking and map locator
App is great and easy to use
Easy to train people to use the program. I have this to be nice.
Effective for its use.

Nachteile

The reports that are produced seem to be a little outdated. A better version of the report or a better template would make it much easier to read.
Filtering through equipment is not the best and needs some sort of update

Vorteile

Maintenance of our equiptment tool very helpful. Monitoring where it was last scanned

Nachteile

It’s tough to scan in limited light. And the scan sticker has a tough time staying on our often used landscape equiptment

Vorteile

We needed an easier way to track our inventory and GO Codes works great in that way. With the ability to scan tags and to add custom fields, Go Codes is a great value.

Nachteile

Being a school district we often have large quantities of equipment arriving at once. It's a little clumsy to maneuver while scanning large numbers of devices. I have a great vendor who sends me a list of serial numbers and inventory numbers so we can just add them without scanning. I would LOVE to be able to import all these but it can only be done by Go Codes doing it for a $$$. This is a major deal for me. Adding the ability for customers to upload into the system is a must for me.

Vorteile

We can download an inventory and see all the assets immediately. It's great - especially for state reporting!

Nachteile

I want it to be more mobile - easier to use from a phone.
