BarCloud Reviews & Product Details

Once you have your system set up, navigating through the different components is a breeze. It’s easy to keep updated as vendors, pricing, and customer needs change. You can choose from existing reports or create custom reports that look and behave exactly the way you need them to. Setting up and applying shelf labels is also very straightforward.

Creating a catalog for your customers couldn’t be simpler. You just upload pictures of your products, plug them into one of the custom reports you’ve created, and you’re ready to publish a professional-looking catalog that anyone could use. You also get training hours, which helps a lot when you have questions or want the support team to walk you through something so you fully understand what you need to do. The support team is very helpful and explains the process in a way that’s easy to follow.

The AI feature is great as well. You can ask questions and the system provides step-by-step guides, which makes it easier to figure out what you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main downfall of the system is that it’s set up with only one way of doing things. If you need it to behave even slightly differently, you have to pay a significant amount for their operating teams to create or modify the components you want to change. They also have to run tests to make sure those changes won’t cause permanent damage to the database. After they complete the changes you paid for, you’re then required to sign an Edit Transaction Feature Waiver and Assumption of Risk, Full Indemnification & Limitation of Liability, Exclusion from Standard Support, and Paid Remediation.

BarCloud's real-time visibility, comprehensive lot tracking, and transaction history have dramatically improved our inventory control. The cloud-based accessibility, smooth data import, barcode scanning, and outstanding support from the BarCloud team all contributed to a seamless transition from manual processes. Our picking times are down by at least 50%, order accuracy is up, and we've virtually eliminated shrinkage, saving tens of thousands of dollars. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As our operations have grown, we've noticed that additional native GS1 barcode scanning capabilities and expanded transaction management options would make BarCloud even more valuable for our food manufacturing needs. These enhancements would further streamline workflows and support our evolving requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Importability and exportability are particularly useful when updating multiple records or sharing information with colleagues. The interface provides a clear way to review those records afterward, while the asset and inventory workflows support a more organized process for tracking equipment and supplies Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We had to figure out whether to track a camera kit as one item or list all the pieces separately. There isn’t one perfect answer for every team, and it took a bit of trial and error. I also wish occasional freelancers didn’t need quite as much explanation before using the request process Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

BarCloud’s versatility is what stands out most. We have a complex operation, and over nearly a decade, the platform has continued to scale and adapt with us as our needs have grown. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The mobile app is definitely the biggest weak point. The main system works well, but there are some inconsistencies in the user experience, and the overall look and feel could use modernization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how easy BarCloud is to use and how I can configure it and change the fields. I can use a DD 1149 for shipping and receiving, mainly shipping. It’s simple and not overly complicated. I can add assets and use scanners to automatically populate items coming into our warehouse without relying on Excel spreadsheets. BarCloud bridges the gap between our warehouse and IT asset management system, so I can keep things in one place, make the process smoother, and accomplish multiple tasks at the same time. I find it a lot easier to use than programs like ServiceNow or OpenText, where it requires a degree to figure out what you’re doing. The vendor was great to help with setup, and the setup wasn’t too bad overall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I haven't found anything that's not working for us so far. I'd like to be able to change the names and configure the section under the model in the PO area a little better for the different tasks we use it for. The DOD network added some complications to onboarding, though it wasn't too bad and the vendor was great to help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like BarCloud’s reporting and how easy it is to add or dispose of assets. I can run reports showing when assets were entered and received, their cost, and where they’re used, and add our own CFC tags. Exporting our inventory to Excel is a simple process. The records help me keep track of what assets we have and what they cost for year-end tax reporting. I also enjoy being able to get help on a call. Tim walked me through bulk asset input quickly and recorded the call so I could share it with my team. Setup was very easy, training went well, and everyone was able to use it easily.

Nothing at this time. Barcloud works exactly like I need it to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What stands out is that BarCloud treats consumables and reusable equipment differently but keeps them in one system.

A box of fixings is not the same thing as a calibrated measuring instrument. We need quantities and reorder levels for one, and a unique record, location and service history for the other. The mobile scanning is practical on site, and the ability to structure multiple locations is important when projects have stores, temporary compounds and equipment moving between them. I also appreciate that reports can be built around how a project actually operates rather than forcing us into a generic inventory sheet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is not a plug-and-play rollout for a complex project. You have to agree on naming conventions, locations, permissions and how transfers will be recorded before giving everyone access. If those decisions are rushed, the data becomes messy.

Some advanced reporting also takes coordination with BarCloud's team, so I would build that time into an implementation schedule. That is a planning issue for us more than a problem with daily performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For a company with offices in different countries, the main thing is consistency. I like that BarCloud lets us work from one asset database while still separating records by site. Our Beirut office and our Dubai office don’t need to maintain completely different spreadsheets or send headquarters a file every month. We can filter by country, office, department or employee and still see the bigger picture. The custom fields are genuinely useful: we can keep serial numbers, purchase dates, warranty details and assigned users together. The interface is clear once the location structure is in place, and the reports are far more useful than a list of equipment in Excel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The standard day-to-day questions are easy to get help with. Where we have to plan ahead is a more involved report or configuration change. For instance, a regional report combining office, asset category, assigned employee and last verification date might need a session with their team. Those meetings aren’t always available immediately; sometimes we wait a few days. They do work through it carefully, though, and once the report is set up we can keep using it. I’d rather have more flexibility to build some of those advanced reports ourselves. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find BarCloud’s device information very informative. I can see how many devices we have, who they’re assigned to, and search for a device’s owner right away. I can also see warranty information, who checked a device out, and its expiry date. The initial setup was very straight forward by the support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the user interface could be more user-friendly. I would prefer a more modern user interface (e.g. the design of the dashboard) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s easy to search for products, lots, and item expiration dates once items have been checked in. Exporting is also straightforward after the report has been created. Overall, the interface is pretty user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Creating a report feels impossible, I was only able to create one with the help of customer service. There are not enough customizable fields for the information I need to record. I cannot change/edit specific information once it has been checked in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
