Key benefits of Reftab

  • Make asset reservations for employees, customers, or students, to put items on hold until they are needed. Users are able to enter a start and end date for the loan, and this data is stored in the system to ensure the given asset is available on those dates.

  • Keep track of assets, accessories, and licenses that have been loaned, with all data on current loans and a full audit history for each asset stored within the asset profile.

  • Check assets in and out with barcode and QR-code scanning. The Reftab system gives users the tools to create and print custom tags for scanning assets in and out during loan periods.

  • Create a custom, branded user portal to allow customers, students, employees, or other loanees to login and make reservations, view approved assets, extend loan periods, and more.

  • Use the Reftab native mobile apps for Android and iOS to scan items in and out, create and edit assets, track loans, manage inventory, and more.

    Reviewed on 2020/02/10

    Pros

    I like the way it handles asset entities, accessories and licenses. I also like the way it handles asset assignment as loans to loanees.

    Cons

    There are a few places where how to accomplish certain tasks isn't clearly obvious to the end user resulting in certain features not being noticed as a possibility to the user, but once you learn the interface and what all can be done it's pretty easy to work with.

    Being able to track all assets, accessories, and consumables throughout our organization has been a game changer and will help us eliminate each department having their own spreadsheets for tracking which employees have what.

    Pros

    It's easy to use and reasonably priced. The fact that it can track assets, accessories, consumables, and licenses in an easy way with the ability to grant users access only to what they should be able to see was a deciding factor in selecting Reftab over other competitors.

    Cons

    The lack of report customization and the inability to filter accessories from consumables.

    Alternatives Considered

    Asset Panda and Sortly

    Reasons for Choosing Reftab

    We needed more granular control over who can see what assets and also needed the ability to track accessories and consumables.

    Reasons for Switching to Reftab

    Price, ease of use, customization of categories, and the ability to granularly control permissions.

    Increased efficiency in tool tracking, maintenance, and deployment into the field. We typically inventory tools every 6 months. this makes the process a breeze.

    Pros

    Easy to use. I love that it is cloud based, so I can access it from anywhere. Extremely customizable, from categories to workflows to reports. Support team is highly responsive.

    Cons

    app functionality is a little behind the browser based version.

    Every time we had ideas for features, the developers have been very responsive, very quick to apply them (or mention why it's not possible when that was the case). Reftab has been super flexible and very prone to help our business. We definitely have a before and after Reftab in term of quality of asset tracking.

    Pros

    Reftab made it so much easier for us to adapt to the ever changing environment of our studio and constant movement of assets between desks or employees. It perfectly scaled to our studios worldwide, and allowed us to maintain standards between our studios.

    Cons

    There is not much to not like about Reftab. We haven't used the customer portal since it's not very well suited for our kind of environment (where IT has a closer control on assets and accessories), but this doesn't mean I wouldn't recommend it.

    Alternatives Considered

    Asset Panda and Spiceworks Cloud Help Desk

    Reasons for Choosing Reftab

    Reftab had every feature we needed in a much better, organized, and scalable fashion.
