Why SCANit? - How is SCANit Different?

Our software is unique. We haven't been able to find software like ours anywhere in the world, which is one of the reasons why we created our patent pending software in the first place. SCANit came from a need. A need to find a better solution to the painfully tedious and often error-prone old method of doing inventory and ordering.

Our software was created by an end-user and customer; a business man. We know exactly what this industry needs and how the software has to work. SCANit has been designed from the ground up from the business owner's perspective, not from a software engineer's perspective. There are a lot of inventory systems on the market, but they are often just flashy or smoke and mirrors creating fancy looking reports but not really doing a whole lot. Some of them work OK, but you spend more time working on them than needed. Kind of defeats the purpose, doesn't it?

SCANit is extremely user friendly. If the average person can't use one of our features with just a little instruction or by watching a quick online tutorial, then it doesn't make the final release.

Our software is tested in real businesses. No fake testing ground with hypothetical situations. We use real restaurants and bars with real circumstances to test SCANit.

We also use regression testing. Maybe you haven't heard of it. It simply means when we add new features our regression tests check to make sure that all of our other features continue to work flawlessly. A lot of inventory and solution software companies add to their product (supposedly making it better), only to find out that by adding those new features, two years after they have a mess on their hands. Ever point out a problem with any software and wonder why the issue can't be fixed in a timely manner? That is usually because to correct that seemingly minor error, they have to go back and rewrite half their software as that error is linked to many other parts of the coding.

Some companies actually buy software from third parties, bundle it together and sell it is as a fancy all-in-one package. The problem is that they weren't designed to work together.
