Aralco
Aralco Inventory Management is well suited for a retail operation with one or two locations that is expanding to 5+. At that point, there is small enough start-up costs and significant benefits available for this software to assist a company with the inventory and POS challenges associated with rapid growth. Aralco Inventory Management is also particularly helpful for retail companies that have complicated sales orders or a sales fulfillment time that is longer than a day or a week.

Great for users that frequently travel between offices. Users can log into their device and get the "local" printer installed based on their subnet. Alternatively, users can choose to send their print to their folder to be accessed on whichever printer they choose. It does this securely which is great for folks in healthcare settings

  • We would like to move all of our print accounting into Vasion Print, but there are some features we use in Pharos that Vasion is still building out.
  • The repository can get a little unwieldy if too many people are adding drivers. An internal check to see if a driver for a particular printer is already available would be a nice feature.
  • Direct authenticated release of print jobs from the printer device would be a nice feature.

Hands down one of our best investments for our IT staff. This has saved so much time and frustration and it well worth the cost. If the budget starts to gets tight, this is one of the last things we would cut out. We also purchased this through our copy machine vendor so it's nice that the charge is integrated with our copy machines lease

Interface has been very easy to use and figure out. Reports to see printer usage is helpful in finding or relocating printers that are over/under utilized and can save funds on continually supplying printers where maybe better utilizing the equipment already deployed will provide cost savings. Being able to make a change in one place and that change is replicated to all devices has been nice and easy to do.

A colleague has reported a performance issue with loading printer profiles on Edge. It sometimes takes a very long time to come up, and sometimes not at all, but he switches over to Chrome, and the interface comes up very quickly. This might be a fringe case, since I am able to launch the same profile on Edge browser without any problems.

Whenever I've contacted Vasion Print support the responses are always rapid and thorough. The support staff is knowledgeable and always happy to answer any questions I have. Most of the time we needed support was at the beginning of our implementation. Our account rep as well as technical support were skilled and responsive.

This doesn't apply since I haven't used another printer management tool, app, or system. Vasion Print is the only one we actually used here in our school district. I don't have the ability to select different companies or vendors, but with my experience with this software, it's been hands down the best. Especially for managing all of our copiers here in the school.

  • Mostly the only thing we deal with on printers now is the physical printer issues.
  • There were no calls about everyone's printers not working when the print server went down, as there is no print server!
  • Making it easy for the users to be able to install their own printer.
