A word about our optional modules... Although we include all of the optional modules in your original registration key on a trial period, none are needed to operate your consignment shop successfully and profitably. Each of our programs Best Consignment Software and Consignment Success Software are a full featured program in every respect.
So why the modules? Upon occasion our users have contacted us wanting more depth in a particular area of their consignment business. Whenever the opportunity presents itself to expand the sales of our software by providing more features to our users, we are ready to tackle the project.
Should we raise the cost of the software to everyone? NO! We are offering those users having expanded needs in specific areas of their consignment businesses the opportunity to purchase modules with the added depth to handle those "other" needs perfectly! None of our users have purchased every module, while some have added one module
Which software is the best?
There is no one consignment software that is "better than all the others", any more than there is a best Automobile, or best TV, or best Washing Machine! What's good for Mary may not be any good at all for Jane! The "best" solution is to compare one against the other, feature by feature; examine which set of features and support make the most sense to you and the needs of your particular operation.
Virtually all the consignment software vendors offer free demos, take advantage of them, ask questions... Try Before You Buy ! !
