TrackAbout Erfahrungen

Quality Product, Fast Scans

Kommentare: Helps us track equipment, no more wondering where the machines are.

Vorteile:

rapid fire scanning, cell phone app that allows drivers to use the equipment in remote areas where there isnt wifi

Nachteile:

The UI is a bit clunky, lacks the modern elegance that software should have, looks like it was created about 15 years ago and never updated. (This applies to the UI only, not the backend) The software works great.

Trackabout Support & Ease of Use

Kommentare: We need real time status updates on our fleet of reusable containers. Trackabout is a reliable and easy to use for our front line people. Implementing Trackabout has saved my team a significant amount of time and effort as we manage our fleet of assets.

Vorteile:

Trackabout is significantly easiser to use than our old tracking system, and their team helped make our conversion successful. They provided quick responses to our questions and resolved issues rapidly.

Nachteile:

Some modifications require us to enter a support ticket, as opposed to being able to do our own configuration. Trackabout does provide rapid response to these requests though.

Overall I can get to the data I need, but it is not as user friendly as I would like it to be.

Kommentare: We get reliable cylinder tracking information. We have yet to move to a barcoded process, but I am excited to see the additional features offered with this.

Vorteile:

I like that the system holds the cylinder balances and is accurate and reliable. It is rather simple to pull up a customers cylinder balance.

Nachteile:

We have a lot of issues with our integration with Tecsys which does not appear to be a Trackabout issue. That being said to find rental rates is cumbersome in that I have to run the report. This should be much easier than it is.

High Quality Asset Tracking

Vorteile:

The ability to track our and our customer assets from the initial transaction through the life of the asset has brought incredible insight to our business. We are now able to show customers exactly what cylinder was delivered, and when it was picked up. We have a real time accounting of all of our assets.

Nachteile:

The customer service has been hard to work with since the pandemic. A lot of times we feel that the customer service rep doesn't actually understand our issues or questions, and sometimes all communication just stops.

Been with them for several years. The product and customer support have done very well for us.

Vorteile:

The trackabout team is very helpful in keeping us flexible with our customers with custom reports. It also gives our system more credibilty when asset issues come up with customers since a third party overseer is tracking all changes that take place. They are very accessable team if you have an issue. We use them as part of our value added presentation when we try to convince customers we are the vendor to choose.

Nachteile:

Not alot on this catagory, some custom reports are very cost effe tive while some seem pricey. I am not a fan of the newest upgrade just changing the format and view. It doesnt seem as easy to get around to where you want to be, or at least where I want to be. I am sure the prompts are probably set up for the actions most used overall but as with most changes that have taken place in the last ten years I liked it better the old way

Easy to use, Functional & robust software for tracking our equipment.

Kommentare: Real time tracking of our expensive DME equipment and tracking of our 1000's and 1000's of cylinders.

Vorteile:

I like the fact that this software is real-time cloud-based and is available anywhere with an internet/cellular connection. Adding users, items, customers, etc. is very simple and when I am stuck TrackAbout is very prompt when assisting me fix my issues.

Nachteile:

There is not much to dislike. I guess the setup process is very tedious and time consuming for a company starting fresh having never used a service like this. And of course, bar coding each and every item takes a lot of time and labor to do correctly.

Great customer service but I think they may be motivated by a metric to close open cases.

Kommentare: We are able to not only track but also reconcile our accounting software and delivery tickets with the software. It does take a large chunk of our time to resolve collisions and verify PPS but it really is the best way to keep our data scrubbed to ensure our customer's trust.

Vorteile:

The flexibility that it allows. The mobile software needs to be fully off line though. It can log you out while on the road ( driver team) and they have now access internet signal.

Nachteile:

Really just need to tweak the mobile software. Seems to be a small bug that locks up intermittenly on the PPS scan. Our team really needs the functionality of being able to add in the Customer and PPS at the end of the transaction so that we can meet customers at the dock and ensure they have the correct cylinders etc.

We have used Trackabout for over 10 years and use it as a competitive advantage in our industry

Vorteile:

The ability to show movement of the cylinders and provide the customer with data dating back 10 years of their cylinder movement. At a movements notice we can tell them what cylinders they have and even the barcode numbers on those cylinders and how long they have had it. Also , our team appreciates using the preventive maintenance logs on the larger vessels.

Nachteile:

A large con we have is writing an order before being able to scan a cylinder with the new system. This changes the customer flow we have become accustom to.

Overall experience is great

Vorteile:

Barcode feature Easy to use both on smart phone and desktop provides an organized structure for tracking assets support from the team in case of any issue and I must say the team is very good and patient.

Nachteile:

Custom reports- you sometimes just a report for a specific task and you need it instant. As much as the data is in trackabout, I should have the option to download all the data to and to do my own filtering and adjustment. This will be time consuming on my side but I still get access to the data whenever I need. The current process is to contact your team to be able to generate this report in a customized manner. This is great if I need the same report every month and to save time, I need it in some custom fields.

Very pleased with the software. Awesome support team and implementation specialist!!!

Kommentare: TrackAbout has flexibility. Can add comments / notes in multiple ways and attach to patient or asset. Can help to explain any issues with an asset that could be helpful to know in the future. Lets the next person know what has occurred if questions. This is a very robust system and feel I have not even touched the surface yet.

Vorteile:

It does what it is supposed to do. Should have no problem knowing where assets are located. Multiple ways to search for assets depending on what criteria you have available to identify asset.

Nachteile:

Software developed with gas suppliers / fillers in mind. I am a DME company dispensing medical equipment to the home. I track patients as well as the equipment. System works very well, but would like to see the last name, first name, middle initial entered in separate fields.

Outstanding

Kommentare: The visibility of our assets across our organization and that of our customer base.

Vorteile:

The software has been designed from the ground up for the Industry. It has taken the most common issues and solved them in the easiest manner possible.

Nachteile:

The DB is not fully accessible and able to be queried. I would like the ability to have unfettered access to my information.

Fantastic implementation, great support and a solid platform.

Kommentare: Reliability, ease of use and good reporting and analysis.

Vorteile:

It's robust, trustworthy and has a lot good functionality. We just rolled out FoT to a customer and they have found it very easy to set up and use and are extremely happy, which is great news for us too! Support is excellent. The software provides a lot of opportunity for us to expand it's use in the future. The customisation we requested during implementation works very well.

Nachteile:

The mobile app is disappointingly basic and prohibitively expensive at this moment. The value isn't there for us yet but with enhanced functionality, I think this is something we would be keen to invest in in the future with the right billing structure.

Excellent product with top notch customer support

Vorteile:

TrackAbout handles the tracking of our assets from start to finish with few issues. The ability to utilize the application and access our information on multiple devices types is a huge benefit.

Nachteile:

The TrackAbout webpage recent redesign has added multiple steps to gathering information that was previously accessible in one area with one click.

Comprehensive funcitonality and Expect more visibility on existed information

Kommentare: 1)Comprehensive functionatlity in general: TrackAbout does enable a full tracking of cylinders. The more I use, I feel it's smarter than I could imagine.
2)User actions: The action from end user on TrackAbout is simply a few clicks but for different module can trigger different result.
3)Custom report: TrackAbout did provide some report for management review. However, due to the government requirement gap, China still request more development on new report generation
4) Expect more Visibility: Take Integration Message for example, currently TA wesite only allowed max. 100 rows to display at one search, and it only display the message ID(without record ID, plant name). Considering all plants roll out with TrackAbout, it would be not that easy to monitor the interface status at TA end by local admin user.

Very accommodating to help us leverage the software for our business need

Vorteile:

Flexible. we used the software for a project unrelated to its original design but functionally similar in activity. Their technical support helped us creatively solve our business issue.

Nachteile:

The reporting took a little time to get set up for our desired outcome, but after consulting with the technical support we were able to get the proper reporting needs covered.

Easiest software implementation ever. Software is flexible, easy to use and is saving us money.

Kommentare: Improved accuracy of asset tracking data. Increased efficiency and better support for our staff and customers.

Vorteile:

Easy to use. Flexible in use. It has significantly improved the accuracy and efficiency of our asset tracking process. Excellent support both during and after implementation.

Nachteile:

No direct access to database for reporting. Some of the reporting is limited but custom reports can be built.

Asset Tracking

Kommentare: Has been a lifesaver for organization and industry. Don't know how we did it before TrackAbout. Excellent program since day one!

Vorteile:

Real-Time deliveries

Nachteile:

Reporting could be better

TrackAbout Rocks!!!

Kommentare: We started with TrackAbout from the start and it has worked perfectly for us for the last 2 years. I have been in the gas business for years and I really did not believe that an automated tracking system could be as accurate as TrackAbout has been. We spot check accounts on a regular basis and I am still amazed at how accurate it is. We picked up 57 cylinders from an account just last week and the inventory was perfect. Regarding rent, it just doesn't get any easier. I remember the days of using index cards and about 4 people that did nothing but track cylinders. With TrackAbout, simply run a report and print!! Regarding the character of the company, "do the right thing" and "go the extra mile" must be in mission statement. During set-up and implementation, the techs were as helpful as you can be and helped us launch with virtually no problems. I would advise ANYONE in the gas business, large or small, to get TrackAbout.

A+ customer service; excellent program . . would recommend to any company

Kommentare: I've used Trackabout since Dec. 2006 and absolutely love the program ! ! ! ! It's very user friendly. There are many useful reports, very detailed information and it's all date and time sensitive. This helps when a customer wants to know cylinder activity for a particular time frame. Request for information from customers can be gathered quickly and sent by email before ending a telephone call. Customers are very satisfied with Trackabout. A+ for customer service. It's a pleasure to talk to them. Their email support program is great ! ! ! Request is sent by email, a ticket number is assigned and you are notified of progress. You can even rate your experience when the ticket is closed. Of course there's nothing like direct communication with the support team. They are absolutely wonderful ! ! ! Very courteous, helpful and friendly. Request and issues are handled very efficiently.

EYE OPENING

Kommentare: We have used the TrackAbout software for 5 years now, our thoughts are "why did we not do this sooner". TrackAbout has been eye opening for our Company, Argyle Welding Supply, not only does it track our assets but we have also learned through this software how to become a better company overall. With trackabout, we have found the mistakes from within that were being made and now corrected to provide even better customer service and has also increased our revenue. As well we have the linked Exchange program on our software that lets us track our assets being filled by Major Suppliers. This has proven to be very effective in the prevention of Lost cylinder assets as well as billing errors. I would HIGHLY recommend the TrackAbout software to anyone and the staff is top notch. TrackAbout has truly been a Phenomenal experience.

Excellent tool for equipment maintenance

Kommentare: TrackAbout has been a great platform for tracking maintenance activities of our medical equipment fleet. It has allowed us to have secure and reliable records that are fully auditable and traceable to each user, hence ensuring compliance with applicable legislation and due diligence. Its API functionality has proven very powerful for integration with our ERP systems and, when combined with the reporting module, has allowed us to leverage on TrackAbout to produce a higher level of reporting previously unavailable to us. We have also now began using the limited maintenance functionality available to us in the smartphone application. Its fast, quick and easy to use, and we believe that when the full maintenance functionality is available to us on the smartphone app, we will have a product that will be second to none.

The ultimate cloud based enterprise asset tracking system

Kommentare: We are in the business of trading chemical gas. Using Trackabout has enable to us to consistently monitor the status of our gas cylinder/tanks movements. We are amazed by how well thought out the system was, considering all fundamentals of a cylinder life cycle. eg, The cylinder status automatically set to 'full' when top up by the supplier and set to 'empty' when it was return from customers. If an empty cylinder was erroneously prepared to be delivered to the customer, the system will pick it up and prompt the user to take action. Many other systems will probably need a lot of manual entry to get the work done and thus prone to human errors. We don't see any other tracking system able to come this close without much customization.

Easy to use

Kommentare: Makes my job faster and simple

Vorteile:

I find the software easy to use it is not complicated at all and for someone who is not a tech person ease of use is very important

Nachteile:

App will occasionally crash on my phone smacking it difficult to complete a job without rebooting my phone

Excellent asset tracking software

Kommentare: We have been a customer of Trackabout for over a decade. We use the software to track over 100,000 assets. They have a very sophisticated, yet user friendly platform. We have tried other tracking systems in the past, but this is the only one that seems to account for all the real-world hiccups that our people encounter while moving assets around. Implementation was fairly painless. We were up and running in just a couple of weeks. The software was very easy to learn for our drivers and operators. 30 minutes or less, and they are ready to go. Overall, great experience with the company and their product.
