CODESOFT Reviews

Summary: Once I understood what the CodeSoft program needed I crafted a spreadsheet that tracked my production runs and allowed a replacement user to operate the CodeSoft with a little instruction. The program is stable and reliable, and provides flexibility in creating a barcode for the specific label needed. I would not hesitate to recommended CodeSoft for anyone seeking a barcode label solution.

Positive: Have used CodeSoft for 8 years. It does what I need it to do and their tech support is always a phone call away and available with little or no wait time. Initially, we were challenged by the setup for our Brady PAM3000 printer after its acquisition, but soon we were barcoding with ease. Keyboard customizations were a big help as, in our case, we could only operate with limited automation and had to activate print for individual labels, which was able to be defined on the " - " (minus) button at the corner of the extended keyboard. This allowed print activation without using Control + P an without looking at the keyboard.

Negative: Setting up the connection takes more steps than I'd prefer, but I suppose that allows CodeSoft to interface with nearly any system. I used spreadsheets as my data source so perhaps our application was less simple than most. Nonetheless, CodeSoft worked perfectly once the interfacing was complete. Tech support was a big help here in our early days.

Summary: It's a good software in theory, but is not practical if you are looking to constantly make labels during the day.

Positive: It was relatively easy to transfer our old labels to the new software. It has many tools to utilize that enable making labels easy.

Negative: Our software seems to crash way too often when making labels and no one really knows what is wrong with the software.
