FN-GM Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 Would love to get rid of Inventry for something like this. The big thing for us is the SIMS write back.
Popular Post caffrey Posted June 5, 2017 Popular Post Posted June 5, 2017 Well here's mine for what it is, take as you like - the codes not great, barely any error trapping but it kinda works. http://82.19.3.3:9000/SignIn.zip You'll need to change the LDAP strings, and add your own database instance. I've included the necessary SQL stuff and there is no admin panel yet as I've not had a heap of time to work on it. The label stuff is commented out as it won't build without the Brother SDK and there's the start of the RFID stuff in there which I've not put much time in. Do with it as you will, make your own changes - there's space in the main page for your school logo 5
RichCowell Posted June 6, 2017 Posted June 6, 2017 Would love to get rid of Inventry for something like this. The big thing for us is the SIMS write back. You know InVentry has SIMS write back? We don't use it for students so I don't use it personally, but I know it's had it for years...
FN-GM Posted June 6, 2017 Posted June 6, 2017 I know. What I am saying is I would love to get rid of Inventry, but the SIMS write back will be stopping us doing that.

Aah right - what's making you want to find something else? Just out of interest - my school was one of their first customers, though we've looked at a few others over the years, just to compare for pricing etc. and it's still leading with features by a long shot... (feel free to email so we don't hijack this thread)
FN-GM Posted June 6, 2017 Posted June 6, 2017 It is unreliable, version 4 is worse! The support is poor, struggle to answer the phones and take ages to get back to you. Need Windows to run the client, this day in age it should be in the browser based. No integration with other identity providers such as LDAP. Expensive for what you get. 1

Ever ask something then wish you hadn't? lol... I've got to say I've not experienced any issues with support, and very few issues generally since we got it... I agree the browser based console would be easier, and I think LDAP is either here now or coming soon...

Need Windows to run the client, this day in age it should be in the browser based. No integration with other identity providers such as LDAP. Expensive for what you get. Similar experience. We had Inventry installled this year on version 3. It couldn't handle our SIMS setup very well so they upgraded us to version 4 in the Easter holidays. It does seem to work better now but still missing a few things.
caffrey Posted June 6, 2017 Posted June 6, 2017 I deliberately made mine with the least amount of complications, some systems just have features you just don't need and pay a lot for. At the end of the day all you want is a system that can sign people in and out and some basic back end stuff (Fire lists etc.) I decided on non web based as I can never make anything look nice VB.net is just a lot quicker to put something together and I just don't have the motivation to learn a new language

Cheers

AlexB Posted September 1, 2017 Posted September 1, 2017 There you go, I think it should work now Cheers. I'm looking forward to playing with this
wivane Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 Going to bump this to see if there is any finished projects for a signing in system?
caffrey Posted January 25, 2020 Posted January 25, 2020 Here's the version I have in production - it's been running without any issues for 18 months. I didn't go with barcode scanning or card scanning in the end. Visitors just have a 5 digit code they sign out with http://82.19.3.3:9000/SignInV2.zip I use 15" asus touchscreens, Intel compute sticks and a brother label printer so the hardware cost is really low Hopefully it's useful for someone or at least a start Sorry about the rubbish code in advance 1
