WebCheckout saves you time and money!
Commenti: We moved to WebCheckout after using a paper-based rental solution for over 40 years. Our inventory count has become accurate. We're now able to run monthly, weekly, or even daily usage reports without having to manually count paper slips.
Aspetti positivi:
WebCheckout provides the ability to track every piece of gear in our inventory. We can monitor the usage of our production suites as well. Being able to run real-time usage reports helps to put budget towards higher used areas and gear. Dashboard screens allow workers to pre-pick pending orders and prepare for the return of large rentals.
Aspetti negativi:
We have no complaints with this software.

Webcheckout review
Commenti: Having said all of these pros and cons, I will say that webcheckout really listens to their customers. They provide excellent and quick customer service, they are always offering new training opportunities, and they have created a community where people can provide feedback and they will listen and try to implement changes if possible. So even though there are unfortunate parts to this product, I have confidence they will be addressed in the future.
Aspetti positivi:
I have been using webcheckout for our university for the 5 years. We have a very robust equipment checkout program for our campus and webcheckout helps us manage over 1,000 pieces of equipment for around 12,000 students/faculty, and staff. There are some things that webcheckout does really well. I love that it syncs with Active Directory and the reporting they do is also very nice. They just recently opened a patron portal, and the advances they have made there are really nice and are allowing us to make some advances in shift left for our services. The organization is very good and keeping track of fines and late equipment is very easy.
Aspetti negativi:
There are a few things that I would consider minor annoyances for webcheckout. We would really like to find a way for patrons to renew equipment themselves, but this still does not exist and adds a lot of unnecessary man power for a pretty simple task. Also there is no embedded signature system, so if you want students to sign for a checkout you have to pull up a separate program, then upload that file back into webcheckout, and then manually update a signature on file date to let the software know something was uploaded. That is just too manual.

Helpful but Not User Friendly
Aspetti positivi:
I like that it helps us keep track of our events and checkouts so that we don't lose equipment. Overall, it offers a lot of flexibility especially with being able to write notes on reservations, checkouts, and equipment.
Aspetti negativi:
I wish the dashboard would stick without having to reset it up daily with my preferences. I also wish the dashboard view was more integrated into the main checkout page instead of its own page. I wish this system was more user friendly or they offered tutorial videos. I have a large rotating staff of student workers that I have to train and retrain on the various aspects of Webcheckout. I have had to create my own documentation on how to use it and still come across issues where things don't go right if a student worker misses a step. The system is not intuitive at all and needs to be taught and learned. There needs to be a way to delete equipment for good. I would also like an easy way to track our events vs. just our regular checkouts or scheduled tasks so I could pull reports on it. The set, strike, show isn't cutting it for us.

Hi Rifah, thanks for your time and feedback. We're pleased to know that WebCheckout aids in keeping track of your equipment. The Dashboard now persists, so once you set it up, the information is readily available for the next time you login. This improvement was made after your request in our 2019 User Training. We also provided SXU with the Task Module to better track event details, a part from regular checkout/reservation information. As we continue to improve and add to WebCheckout's countless features, we understand this can make training an every changing staff difficult to manage. We do update our online documentation, and will continue to host webinars to highlight new features of each release. Additionally, we do offer training services to take the burden of training off of the administrative team. If we can provide any assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to your account manager. We hope you're well. Jeannie C Customer Care Team

Commenti: Our overall experience with web checkout has been wonderful and continues to grow with every progressive upgrade.
Aspetti positivi:

Industry Standard, (but...)
Commenti: I have worked with Webcheckout for over 10 years. It has been the industry standard the whole time, and meets the need for most users. As an admin it takes a "programmer's head" to get used to, but that's just part of the territory. It's so powerful and can do so much, that it's going to be complex, and they do their best to keep it as simple as possible. Phone support is extremely responsive and capable.
Aspetti positivi:
The software does it all...especially now after well over a decade of upgrades and user feedback. The customer service is the best,
Aspetti negativi:
The software in places seems to have no input from designers. New users should expect good amount of training and "getting used to it" through practice. Things like calendar input can seem clunky, and not the same across the board. A streamlined mobile app interface would be nice (maybe it's extra money), and bar-code scanning isn't mac friendly.

WebCheckout in Media Education
Commenti: Our old loan inventory system was being decommissioned, so we had to find something new. Web Checkout filled all our needs and more. It has been an incredible improvement over our previous workflows.
Aspetti positivi:
Web Checkout is highly customizable, easy to use, entirely web based, and integrates with our existing Active Directory, Student Information System, user ID cards, and equipment barcodes. The best functions are the automated email reminders and flexible permission rules.
Aspetti negativi:
Initial setup of the integration was a bit tedious, but once it was setup it makes daily processes a breeze.

Big help for a small checkout center
Commenti: We are a relatively small checkout center that ran our checkouts with pen and paper before Web Checkout. WCO has been a breath of fresh air.
Aspetti positivi:
- Online patron portal has been invaluable - Granular policy structures - Automated e-mail messaging
Aspetti negativi:
- The timeline scheduler isn't always immediately clear about resource availability. - Conflict messaging isn't always clear - You are sometimes prohibited from performing an action without a clear explanation of what is preventing you from proceeding.

The equipment loan management solution you've been looking for...
Commenti: WebCheckout is one of the best - and only - solutions that met our needs with the computers, cameras, and other technology equipment we loan out. While it is on the more expensive side, you get what you pay for...and more. There is strong support from the vendor, and an active listserv with other users.
Aspetti positivi:
We needed a solution that would allow us to manage our loan equipment without having to micromanage every single checkout. WebCheckout allowed us to do this - we are able to have a default loan duration set, automatic notifications for check-outs, check-ins, and overdue loans, and to place holds on our users when they violate the equipment loan policy they agree to prior to borrowing any equipment.
Aspetti negativi:
There are many features - almost too many. The system can be a bit overwhelming, but there are a lot of resources in the WebCheckout knowledge base.

Resource Circulation and Management with Great Customization
Commenti: WCO is a tool like no other for managing thousands of items worth millions of dollars for hundreds of users. It is designed - and has evolved over the years - with a focus on doing this very well. Scheduling, circulating and maintaining gear and facilities happens so smoothly because of WCO.
Aspetti positivi:
WebCheckout (WCO) is the only software (Made In the USA, at least) that I am aware of capable of managing, scheduling, circulating and inventorying resources - both physical "gear" and facilities "rooms" - so well. The information that can be cataloged for each individual item is tremendous in tracking everything from purchase history to usage as well as maintenance and repair. The items are also classified by type so that there is readily available data regarding how many are on hand, how many are in use and so forth. Scheduling within the software ensures that it all is being utilized...but without conflict; a "Patron Portal" option even allows end users to schedule on their own - based on permission authorizations set by the operator(s). There is also a basic inventory feature (with enhanced capability available as an option) as well as maintenance ticketing and even staff scheduling - all within the one program. Finally, there is extensive messaging available for the end users to be informed of reservations, pick ups and returns in addition to reminders for those events...once again, all customizable by operators. One additional note: significant updates to the software, at a rate of several a year, are almost entirely driven by end user requests for features and capabilities. Using WCO for the past 4 - 5 years, I have seen it continually evolve to be even better and better at serving both the institutions using it and their end users.
Aspetti negativi:
This is not a Google, Apple or Microsoft product...it was created and is managed by a relatively small team in the Midwest. This means that there are occasional bugs or other issues that arise not found with most other software programs. At the same time, because it is a smaller company, service is fast and personal; more often than not, the person I am working with on issues knows me and my school and they are always committed to solving issues AND making improvements. What is missing or lacking is often addressed with regular software updates.

WebCheckout is the only way to go
Commenti: Great software with a responsive and helpful support system, not to mention the many users worldwide who actively participate in the user forum.
Aspetti positivi:
Easily handles thousands of unique pieces of equipment as well as spaces. Fairly simple user interface. Easily adaptable to each locations particular needs.
Aspetti negativi:
The initial set up was a little rough and took some time to understand. However, Webcheckout support was readily available and very helpful.

WebCheckout from a daily user
Commenti: Overall our experience with WebCheckout has been a positive one. As mentioned, the automated logs that are created throughout each allocation have proved to be a vital way of tracking equipment, as well as illustrating proof in various instances with our students.
Aspetti positivi:
I find WebCheckout to be an invaluable asset to our facilities for many reasons. Some of the most valuable uses for us are traceability of our equipment, automated communication between our Checkout Center and students, the information that is provided in regards to communication history, late fees, renter history, equipment information, inventory, usage logs, etc. This system has dramatically sped up our workflow, saved money on loses and late equipment, as well as provided us a very consistent workflow throughout our daily processes.
Aspetti negativi:
I feel there are usability aspects that are missing. Some of the processes that take place are achieved in more of a roundabout way, requiring 5 to 8 clicks instead of 2-3, which at high traffic times slows down the checkout process and overall customer service. I do feel that WebCheckout is extremely good at listening to their clients however and as a result updates are steadily happening.

WebCheckout Helps Us Run A Better Checkout Center
Commenti: Overall, I've had a great experience with WebCheckout. WebCheckout has really responsive and great customer support. Our back end team has always been able to relatively quickly setup integrations and make upgrades.
Aspetti positivi:
We are able to keep good inventory of almost 10,000 items, kits and even spaces. With integrations we have all of our patrons there and can quickly checkout equipment to them. The software also allows us to get good data about our most used items, what departments are using them and more. I know how difficult it is to keep track of things in just a spreadsheet or a calendar and am grateful for the many features of WebCheckout.
Aspetti negativi:
We have many student workers using this software, so having it be simple is important. For the most part students can quickly learn how to do a checkout and get going, but there are some hiccups that take a lot of communication from management. One example is when creating a checkout you have to hit commit and then the page changes and you need to confirm - it isn't confirmed until the green banner shows, but the confusing part is how the page changes and you need to sometimes scroll to see the confirm button, but there also aren't usually any warning signs that you didn't confirm. This is partly a training issue, but ultimately there could be something in the design that helps.

Great product for higher education equipment loaning
Commenti: I used WCO for nearly 10 years. The company was very responsive to their clients' inputs and regularly updated the software to reflect those requested tweaks. The program was great to work with but offered a lot of details that weren't necessary for us. And it was a little pricey and we needed to consolidate expenses. Two other departments were using another software and we transferred to that system. For 10 years, the WCO never crashed and we never lost any data. WebCheckOut worked very well for us!
Aspetti positivi:
WCO is easy to use and intuitive. It has a lot of features to keep track of loans, reservations and details of your equipment and locations. There are multiple offerings to customize what you need, including invoices, emailing, SSO, ticket (repair) tracking and even a personnel scheduling feature. Running reports are very customizable and easy to do and cover a range of information (turn downs, overdue, usage, etc...). Adding and updating equipment was fairly easy to do.
Aspetti negativi:
We don't use the system anymore but we had several add on modules that we paid for. I don't remember exactly what was an added module and what features came with the basic software but we bought several modules over the years that made the system a bit pricey. I downloaded my patrons list manually because it was more money to have it work automatically with our system. Not a big deal since we only have about 3k clients but it was an added step. For us, there were a lot of extra fields that could not be removed. A more customizable view would have been nice. Any new software releases that came out were difficult for me to implement due to our firewall and having to work out access for the WCO support team (but I own most of that issue).
Art and Design School Experience with WCO
Commenti: This software has become essential to our checkout centers that manage large quantities of equipment. It is hard to imagine operations without it. We are bringing on more centers with unique needs and the software is proving to be agile and flexible enough to accommodate the needs.
Aspetti positivi:
Very detailed tracking of our extensive inventory of equipment. Powerful import and export features. Integration with our Active Directory and student/faculty status. Modular nature of add ons allowing us to select/pay for the enhanced features we really need. Great technical support, very personal and quick response. Updates and feature updates are in direct response to user feedback.
Aspetti negativi:
The GUI has some issues, it has been improved over the years and there has been more of a focus on it recently. We still wish some alerts were more obvious to our students workers. Reporting is somewhat limited, all data can be exported to manipulate elsewhere but more robust in Ap reports would be nice. It is very powerful and this leads to very busy screens-this can be intimidating to new users.

The team is great. The product deserves a UI/UX overhaul.
Commenti: WCO is the tool I use to manage circulation in an equipment reservation center. I find WCO team members very responsive and helpful but the product routinely frustrating.
Aspetti positivi:
I like the fact that Patron Portal exists, although its interface deserves to be studied and elaborated.
Aspetti negativi:
There are SO many things in the interface that are clunky and difficult to teach students how to navigate. We need more places to make notes on a reservation. Managing policy is super confusing. I would like the ability to generate custom reports. I have to MacGyver origin in a way that could stop working at any time in order to set different circulation limits on different patron classes, rather than setting it at the group level, which would be very simple.

Hi Paul- Thanks for your time and feedback, and thank you for participating in our Town Hall. We hope you find the improvements to Patron Portal easier to navigate, and if you are not already familiar with custom properties, please know you can add your own fields to reservations and even make them required in Patron Portal in order for Patrons to submit their reservation. As we continue to improve and add to the myriad of already existing features, we understand this can make training an every changing staff difficult to manage. We do update our online documentation; will continue to host webinars; and offer training services to take the burden of training off of the administrative team. We do value your feedback, and we look forward to you working directly with our lead developer to improve circulation policies. Thanks again for your time. We hope you're well.

The "Cadillac" of Checkout Software
Commenti: Webcheckout allows me to keep track of the investment that our college has made in providing quality technology to Faculty, Staff, and Students for the purpose of fulfilling their class assignments, pursuing their interests, and preventing them from having to invest in expensive equipment. I can collect accurate and quick statistics --- it makes me job easier.
Aspetti positivi:
This software is super well thought-out. It covers all the basics of what you would want checkout software to do... but they are constantly seeking out and listening to customer's for recommendations on new featuers.
Aspetti negativi:
I wish that more of the important features were included in the base software. We've ended up buying a lot of modules -- some which should definitely be an extra add-on and others that I think should have been standard with it.

A great tool for anyone who needs to manage asset checkouts, room reservations, and inventory
Commenti: My experience with the solution has been very positive. I would gladly recommend it to anyone with similar needs and be confident they are getting a solid, professional product with strong customer service.
Aspetti positivi:
Once you get past the initial learning curve, the software is very fast and easy to use. It offers a simple, intuitive web browser based interface for clients to reserve equipment and monitor the status of their checkouts. On the admin side there are powerful tools for authorizing which clients can see and access what items or rooms. Their customer support is fantastic and they really listen to and implement feature suggestions.
Aspetti negativi:
On the admin side, it does have a significant learning curve as there are many ways to customize it. However, their support is always ready to help. You will want to give yourself a few months to get up to speed on it and consider getting some training.

Despite challenges and weak support, we have not found a better product (yet).
Commenti: Despite crashes and support that could use drastic improvement, we have not been able to find a better product for our needs - and we have definitely looked.
Aspetti positivi:
Very modular, easily adaptable. Granular control of resources and patrons. Easy to use. Patron Portal is getting better with each release.
Aspetti negativi:
Support has long been an issue. Live support only available 9-5 central time. It take an average of 30-45 minutes to get a response from support, that amount of downtime is not acceptable if the system crashes, which it does too often for our liking. I personally prefer they way the "Groups" worked prior to version 7.

Webcheckout Success
Commenti: Results have been excellent. It has made the operation function smoothly.
Aspetti positivi:
This software has facilitated inventory maintenance of multiple pieces of audio and video equipment which is checked out in a library fashion to students at the university. I allows them to reserve in advance which facilitates the checkout as their needs can be prepared in advance with a check list of the order. Other units on the campus are also using the software for similar needs. The Software is adaptable to a number of functions.
Aspetti negativi:
We have not had any problems with the software, customer support has been excellent and we have been able to use for a variety of functions across the campus.

Constant Evolution
Commenti:
Superb!
I will generally approach WCO support with an issue before reaching out to my institution's IT department. Since my department started using WCO, we've implemented multiple organizations and checkout centres within our instance. We couldn't be happier with the product.
Aspetti positivi:
The development and support teams are continually improving the functionality and user experience. There's a robust user-community sharing ideas and providing feedback not only with support staff but also with each other. It really feels like WebCheckout listens to us and is invested in us. Almost all updates improve performance, but when they don't, issues are quickly addressed.
Aspetti negativi:
Multitasking capability is limited. I am forever opening allocations/patrons/resources in new tabs to fine-tune, edit, and schedule. While this generally works well with two or three tabs, browser pages sometimes refresh and change the content in other tabs.

Webcheckout Review from a University's Film Department Perspective
Commenti: Very positive. I use webcheckout to rent out film gear to our students. It's very simple and straightforward (aside from the groups, sections, authsets I mentioned) and I enjoy teaching it to my student workers.
Aspetti positivi:
I like the way it organizes patron's information, allocations, scheduling, tickets, and invoices. I find it very easy to teach to my student workers. They usually pick it up fairly quickly. The dashboard is very helpful.
Aspetti negativi:
I wish there was a way, without purchasing the Patron Portal, to default all new reservation (or reservations for certain people - only are students as opposed to staff for example) to have holds. Also, I've been using webcheckout for about 5 years and I still don't understand the differences in functionality between sections, authsets, and groups.

Hi Max- Thanks for your time and feedback. We are pleased to hear WebCheckout is flexible to meet the needs of many departments. We have made significant improvements to the application including the upgrade process and inventory tools since v4.2.2 which was released in 2015. While upgrades still require scheduling the downtime with our Support team and a restart of the application, WebCheckout features a patch mechanism where you can deploy bug fixes and improvements within the application and without scheduling with our Support team. Additionally, the Mobile Inventory App module offers an organized and simple solution to perform regularly scheduled inventory. We are currently in contact with an administrator at MassArt to upgrade WebCheckout to v9.0, and provide the team training on these improvements and features. If you have any concerns or questions, please feel free to reach out. Hope you're well. Jeannie C Customer Care Team

Aspetti negativi:
Can be annoying when you upgrade and they make terrible new editions to the workflow. In general they fix some things that need fixing and ruin things that worked perfectly good for something worse. Very frustrating. Should have an automatic inventory feature when using rapid return to scan returns.

Easy Integration & Great Customer Service
Commenti: We have several departments using this system with the library as the main user in our college. The customer service is great and they always respond in a timely and friendly manner. We have had several upgrades already and it's a charm each time. Personally, I find it's a little hard to understand the resources/access management, but maybe it's because it's not my main responsibility to do that kind of thing. Admins who are in charge of it may find it easy to use.
Aspetti positivi:
I mostly working on importing patrons into webcheckout and I find it pretty easy to use. All you have to do is generate a flat file and upload it to a place where WCO can find out. WCO has an integration tool which will then import all patrons into the system with a scheduled job. If you like, you can also run the integration manually with the system. You receive an integration log via email everytime the import happens.
Aspetti negativi:
It seems to be lack of API that enables user to get/update information from this system. It seems to be improving on this matter, but is still not so convenient in my opinion.

Commenti: Overall my experience has been positive. The software was a little 'clunky' in comparison to others when I started using it 6+ years ago, but it has undergone a ton of changes. During Covid-19 they adapted it a bunch of times to help all of their users to adjust their workflows. They even held online townhalls to talk to users, have demos and get feedback.
Aspetti positivi:
You simply can't keep track of equipment and all the transactions with patrons/users without some form of tracking. WebCheckout keeps track of all the daily equipment transactions - checkouts and returns. Plus it keeps a ton of data on each piece of equipment - order date, invoice #, budget #, model, serial #, room # where it lives, shelf location, etc, etc... Plus it has usage data and assesses fines if you need them to encourage returns. Very customizable software.
Aspetti negativi:
There are definitely time where it takes me a while to figure out where certain information is. Luckily they have good built in documentation that you can search for answers. And if that fails email or call customer service, they are always responsive.
