I just wanted to let you know how much I love Consign
Pro. When I contacted you at first, I was uncertain
about what software program I really wanted. Well I want
to tell you how much I love Consign Pro for my business.
It is so easy to operate and to understand. It has made
the difference in running my business. I also have to tell you that Allison is just awesome to
work with when I have a problem, she returns your call
as soon as possible. She has patience of Job with me and
is very professional in the way she handles the tech
support. Thank you Brian. Sincerely, Susan @ Glitzy

Yesterday I
recommended ConsignPro to a friend that is opening a new children's resale
shop in Bellaire, Children's Collection's, and she, Yolanda, came upon a
negative web site against Brian Wilson and told me about it. I couldn't
believe anyone who had used the ConsignPro program would not be 100% pleased
with dealing with this company. I purchased the
program for my store 10 years ago. I haven't had to call them for help except
for 4 or 5 times but I was given immediate attention in a most friendly
manner. Two of the major problems had nothing to do with the program itself
because my computers were stolen twice and the staff at Visual Horizons got the
new computer reinstalled with ConsignPro and up and running very quickly. At
other times when I had any questions about the function of one of the tools
within the program the "friendly" staff treated me with an attentive and
professional attitude. I have seen this company expand added features of the
program over the years that has helped my operations in running my business.
I am a very
satisfied customer of Visual Horizons and I do, and have, recommended this
software to many people that have also been very satisfied.
I wish increasing success to Brian Wilson and his staff. It is good to see and
deal with an honest and trustworthy organization such as this one. |

It's about time that I tell everyone how
outrageously wonderful you and your software are. I
have been using ConsignPro since October 16, 2000.
I was a novice to computers and especially to consignment.
The manual was very easy to read and apply. My updates
are simple to install and the support I receive from
Brian is fast and sufficient. At the end of the
year when the IRS is knocking at my door all the information
that I need is there. The price is right as compared
to all others. I can't emphasize how grateful
I am to Brian and his software but mostly the support
I receive. God Bless You |

Just thought I'd let everyone know the
outcome of my research...
After looking at a half-a-dozen demo's I have
decided to purchase ConsignPro software.
Comparing software, I felt that each of the programs
offered many time saving features, great reporting options,
flexible options to allow for individual consignment
store needs. The two factors that really swayed my decision
were:
1. How easy it was to use ConsignPro; after
narrowing my search to three programs, I took my oldest
staff member and my newest staff member and had each
of them perform a number of transactions. They both
caught on faster to the layout of ConsignPro and were
able to do their "work" with very little instruction.
2. Great customer service and support;
I could read and follow along easily with the instruction
manual and try things out as I read. The response
time to my PAGES and PAGES of questions and concerns
was prompt, friendly, with the utmost consideration
for my time, my needs and my pocketbook. Lots
of patience for all of the questions and unending explanations
that I asked for. Ability and willingness to adapt/make
adjustments quickly and easily to provide me with what
I needed. Ability to convert data from my old software.
Thanks to everyone! Fern |

Your software has been the best investment that we made
when starting out new this past August. I could not
imagine what it would be like without it. We have
experienced the best customer service and support from
your business and we love the new additions to the
software. Your software allows us to give our customers
what they want most, and that's to feel important.
Allowing them access to their information does this. I
can't wait to see how our new online store works out for
us. I believe we were the first to have ConsignPro in
the area and have shared how great you are with other
consignment shops in Janesville. |

Service above the rest! I was skeptical,
but you're definitely on top of it! Before purchasing
ConsignPro I sorted through all the different bulleting
boards and was impressed with the responses. Brian has
time for us, plus taking care of his own customers.
I’ve been open for 4-months now, couldn’t imagine doing
this business by hand. ConsignPro was the best investment
I made. Thanks for the quality customer service, keep
up the great work. |

Specifically, I sampled and tested various
software packages. as I mentioned, Brian's main competitor
[Liberty] uses my company's database engine. but
as a professional in the industry,
I can tell you that Brian's software wins hands
down for ease of use, user interface, configurability.
I didn't even have to read the help file to start
working in it. admittedly, it does not have all the
features that I want, but Brian has shown a willingness
to add in the features that become requested. |

Has anyone told you lately how great you
are? If not its long over due...You're the greatest!
Now this is why I'm so glad I chose ConsignPro, not
only do we have great support for any minor problems
(usually not consign pro problem but operator problem)
we might have but the upgrades that I've experienced
in my short time as a ConsignPro user has been unbelievable!
Thanks Brian |

and being able to get the technical support anytime
is great. Thanks Brian. |

...I have grown to love this program.
The end of the day is wonderful!!! We should
of done the scanning years ago!! I use to do
all inputting by hand 3 to 400 tickets a day.
I'm also balancing now and not spending 2 hours
after we close trying to figure out what I did wrong...

Your ConsignPro system has saved our shop!
When we bought our shop from the previous owner
a little over a year ago, we were overwhelmed by paper
work. EVERYTHING was handwritten! I searched the
web for a program to help us, tried many demos, listened
to the experiences of shop owners on other systems,
then, went with the best!
We have been using ConsignPro for about 8 months
now, and I LOVE IT! Brian has always been there
to help me out with any problems that I have had!
Thank you so much Brian! |

After 5 years in the consignment clothing
business, I have always used a consignment program.
Although the program I was using was good, I always
dreaded calling for support (which was only a couple
times per year) because of the unfriendly service I
would get. The problem alone was stressful enough, without
having to deal with unfriendly support.
When the time came to upgrade recently I decided to
compare other software programs for features, and just
as important to me, friendly support. I called several
current ConsignPro users and receiving nothing but positive
feedback. I decided to buy ConsignPro even though I
was concerned a smaller company may not "be there" 100%
of the time for any questions or problems that might
arise.
Several months have gone by now and I am thrilled with
the program and the service I get from Brian and ConsignPro.
Not only is Brian very responsive and friendly, the
program does everything and more than I expected. As
most of us are small business owners and pride ourselves
in being able to provide more of a personal services
to OUR customers, I believe Brian does that for his
clients (resale shop owners). I highly recommend ConsignPro
for any business needing this type of software. |

I just wanted to thank you for such a
great and user-friendly program and EXCELLENT service!
I've been open for a month now and your program has
been so easy to use that my part time help (who only
knows how to use a computer for Ebay) was able to sit
down and do sales immediately with no trouble whatsoever.
Neither of my non-computer helpers was even intimidated
by it. I signed it on for them, walked them through
it once, and that's all it took!
Also, when frantically trying to get everything set
up on the Sunday before opening, I e-mailed expecting
an answer sometime on Monday. Well, I got an answer
within the hour and was up and running in no time
and ready for Monday morning.
I've implemented several new programs for my husband's
business and even one designed specifically for his
industry, and I've never had the friendly, competent
help that you have given so freely. And knowing you
monitor all the lists assures me that if I don't get
the right answer from someone else, you're there to
make sure I do.
Thank you so much, Brian, and all your friendly crew. |

Thank you for your continued support and
constant improvements and updates to this software!!!
Cutie Patutie's could not be the successful, growing
store it is today without the help of your software.
I love the new report features that allow for detailed
inventory lookup reports to be printed. This new feature
makes it much easier to keep track of expired items
and then take them down off the shelves!
Three cheers and my biggest thank you for your continued
support!! |

I use ConsignPro and opened my store with
it about 15 months. It is very easy to use and is constantly
being upgraded in response to all the input Brian receives
from his customers. Yearly maintenance fee is minimal
and you get all the support you need. Never have had
to use it, but in case I should ever have to, it is
there. |

And, again, all your help

your assistance. It's good to see that there
are still software companies out there that have such
good customer service! I'm not familiar with
your various software packages, or even with your
company, but I can honestly tell people who ask that
you have an excellent customer support department,
and I hope that will speak volumes for you. :)
Take care. |

We were among some of the first consignment
stores to use ConsignPro starting in 1997. The software
is substantially improved since those early days and
Brian Wilson has been receptive to suggested improvements
over the years....
Dollar for dollar, I don't think you can find a more
comprehensive software program to track inventory and
sales....As far as the software keeping track of your
inventory, it most definitely will accomplish this for
you as we use it to inventory all sorts of merchandise
including clothing, artwork, furniture, etc.
... again for the price, it is had to beat ConsignPro....In
summary, I would not hesitate to recommend ConsignPro
to you as it sounds like it would do very well for your
application. |

Just had to say how much I love ConsignPro!!!
I have a life now! I love the business but this program
allows me a lot of extra time I didn't have before!
Just did my first upgrade and its even better than before...didn't
think that would be possible but its great! Thanks Brian!
Your Wonderful!!!!

I am so excited about this program that I can't even
spell!!! Fingers working out of sink with the brain
sometimes! |

I have used Liberty for DOS since 1993,
the program itself is fine-it's the customer support
and the people behind the program that are the problem!
If I were to do it all over again, without a doubt I
would go with ConsignPro!
I just got back from the convention in Denver and
spoke with Brian there, he's the best-friendly &
knowledgeable. Another conference attendee told me
that Brian originally designed this program for his
mother who herself owns a consignment store. I would
think that this gives Brian some real insight into
the workings of a consignment store.
I also saw the program in operation, and it has all
the features anyone could possibly want. The people
at Liberty-both in Denver and in the years past-have
been very standoffish & arrogant with me. To my
knowledge, nobody on this [message] board has ever
had a bad thing to report about Brian & ConsignPro-can't
say the same about Liberty! Whichever way you decide
to go, best of luck to you!! |

Leigh Ann, you will get as many recommendations
for software as there are software companies. You should
decide what features each software offers and which
you feel you need for your store. Also other issues
that may be important to you are the cost, how easy
the program is to use, and the technical support you
will get from the software company.
For us the answer was ConsignPro and we have never
regretted it. We bought our software about 3 years
ago when ConsignPro was just getting started and as
our store has grown and we have wanted additional
features in the software - ConsignPro has always been
one step ahead of us in updating the software.
On the rare occasions when we have had questions
or experienced difficulty Brian has always quickly
responded to our needs and has been able to talk us
through the problems as if he was sitting next to
us. |

I just opened my store 2 weeks ago and
I use ConsignPro - I love it!! I demo'ed a lot of them
before I decided to go with ConsignPro. It is simple
and easy to use, yet does everything I need it to do.
One of the main reasons though, is the flexibility
of printing tags. I use an ink-jet printer, but you
can use almost any printer with this program. With
other software programs, I found I was very limited.

Hi, I have two stores. In #1 I use Liberty
(ResaleWorld) and the new store I use ConsignPro. I
like features of both; however, when it gets down to
the nitty gritty, it is service and response
that really matters.
I have used Liberty since 1993 or 1994 and have yet
to get help from their tech staff that was useful,
although they charged me an arm and a leg for it.
Brian at ConsignPro not only has provided immediate
help but has offered and has written changes to the
program specifically for me. I recommend ConsignPro. |

We use ConsignPro - I agree with Bob.
Brian has been invaluable to us. WE were previous SIMS
users for many years and they went out of business,
so we had NO support. We have been able to switch over
to ConsignPro (5000+ consignors) and will soon shut
down the Old system. |

Thanks for the wonderful system. You can't
believe how much easier you have made our lives here
at Creative Consignment. We are invoicing 60 to 120
items per day and your system has helped do this for
us and still give us time to maintain our store. You're
the best!
Thank you also for the support you gave us as we
were setting up the system. One always wonders how
much support you will actually get when you are offered
"tech support". You always answered our questions
right away, even when I had to call you about my printer
4 times in one afternoon. |

My shop is the shop Brian did the CB [Consignment
Boutique] to ConsignPro conversion last month. It really
did go without a hitch. This switch from CB was made
after LOTS of careful thought and hand wringing on my
part..Michael {her husband} was much more confident!
My CB program was only purchased 1 yr ago but I anticipated
lots of future problems in dealing with ResaleWorld.
In the last couple of weeks we've just about mastered
ConsignPro, and Brian has been available for the few
times we've had questions. Even the first day of using
the new program everything ran smoothly and efficiently.
We are EXTREMELY happy customers.
The customer service provided by Brian has been exemplary.
I have never met Brian, do not work for ConsignPro,
and we have not received any special treatment. We
are simply happy customers who feel that we have received
a quality product for our hard earned money...a rarity
in this day and age! Please feel free
to email me personally with
any questions. |

Go Brian! I'm glad to see you will be
giving us an alternative to [that other resale website].
We love our ConsignPro and didn't want to give it up
to go online.
We also have been very, very pleased with the support
we receive from Brian, not that we need it often.
Brian is always wonderful about updating the program
when you want a new feature. I was leary about computerizing
our system when we opened 3 years ago (we didn't for
the first 6 months) because of the nightmare a friend
of ours was having when she computerized a shop she
bought (I don't know how many times the software has
been bought and she has had to dish out additional
money to "update" to the new owners and how many times
she had major problems with the system and seemed
to get no support.
We have had NO PROBLEMS with ConsignPro!!! Good luck
to everybody who chooses to go online ....
Mark me as one of the happiest software owners on
the market - yes it is ConsignPro. If only all of
our other business contacts could perform as well
as ConsignPro and give the customer service that Brian
does. |

The Gypsy Trader now uses ConsignPro and
loves it. I bought the Gypsy Trader this past summer
so I’m new to the whole business. It used a manual system.
About the first thing I did was to install ConsignPro.
Works great! Can’t imagine not using it.
We ran a dual system for about 90 days before 95+% of
existing inventory was gone and all new inventory was
entered. Just about everything concerning sales,
inventory and consignors are immediately available.
Well, I could go on like a commercial but.... |

When I first started thinking of going
to computer, I had a conversation with Brian. He rubbed
me the wrong way, we had couple words on this board
and I bought Consign EZ for under a hundred dollars.
(MISTAKE)
I talked to Brian AGAIN and bought his software AND
a network copy. I was very new with computers and he
was VERY patient and helpful. I am VERY pleased
with my decision and Brian has EARNED my respect as
a business man. Plus, the software is great and he is
always updating it to make it better.
Sorry, but I don't think you are going to find too many
that have bought the software or dealt with Brian that
is unhappy in the LONG RUN. |

You are doing better than I am! I called
all the "major" and "minor" companies that sell any
consignment related software I have heard of. Only Brian
sent me a demo immediately. My accountant and my husband
(not the same person lol) both nagged at me to try another
program before I bought something that expensive. So
I called all the other people AGAIN! I did finally get
a Consign EZ diskette but none of the others has ever
arrived. I am going with ConsignPro. I don't really
care if I would like the others or not. I don't care
if they are cheaper. I care that when I have
a problem and need assistance, someone will respond
and so far Brian has far outpaced them all! |

I just wanted to say I am so pleased with
ConsignPro up to this point. We had left unlocking the
computer until after hour on Friday and we had left
several msgs. We rec'd a msg from them to call them
on Monday, and I couldn't believe today we received
a phone call down at the shop from Brian Wilson. He
was so gracious and provided us with information and
also unlocked out software for us so we could continue
to add our store inventory. We had already used up our
demo space. We were also surprised that all the information
we had entered on the demo had been saved and we were
able to continue on where we had left off.
So, I must say Brian Wilson was a life saver and we
were able to get a lot of work done today that would
of had to wait otherwise until Monday. |
