Bar|Scan

Bar|Scan is an inventory and asset management firm that offers automated asset tracking and reconciliation services. In practice that means building software for you when nothing off the shelf fits.

The natural audience is companies with a specific process to automate. They also list Asset Management, so expect those to show up in the feature set. As a very small company team themselves (1 to 10 people), they tend to serve customers of a similar scale best. Small vendors mean quick answers and real influence on the roadmap, but check who covers support when someone is out.

Bar|Scan is based in Westlake Village, California. Their site is barscan.com.

Before you commit, look at portfolio relevance, who owns the code, and how they handle changes. Ask for a trial on your own data, not a canned demo.

If you have worked with Bar|Scan, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
