"We are highly impressed with the features that Booth Tracker offers. Booth Tracker is well suited for our market and exhibition needs as it has an extremely user friendly interface and we could quickly get around to using the software in a rapid time. The Booth Tracker implementation team was very professional throughout the installation, training and implementation process. The other great aspect about Booth Tracker is their exceptional customer support which is available 7 days a week including weekends! I would be happy to recommend Booth Tracker to other markets or exhibitions without any hesitation."

"We have been using Booth TrackerTM at two of our swap meets Santa Fe Springs Swap Meet and Cypress College Swap Meet in California for the past few years and are very happy with the customer support and constant product enhancements that we receive at least once a year, including the recent conversion to the SQL Server version that has improved the performance drastically. We inherited a custom developed legacy system when we acquired Broadacres Swap Meet two years ago. Our legacy system was not only based on old technology but also we relied on a single programmer for maintenance and support. The major benefit with Booth TrackerTM is that it uses new technology and is backed up by a company that has a large team of programmers and support analysts who not only provide prompt support 7 days a week but also provide ongoing product enhancements, developed based on customer feedback. Within a few weeks of signing the agreement, we were up and running on Booth TrackerTM and the whole conversion process was smooth and the E-SoftSys implementation team was very professional. We look forward to a continued mutually beneficial and long term relationship with Booth Tracker."

"We are glad to have taken the decision to implement Booth TrackerTM and really do love the program. We are truly amazed with the various features and flexibility that Booth TrackerTM offers and yet at the same time is so user friendly. Within just a few days of implementing Booth TrackerTM, we have been able to overcome many of the deficiencies that we had been encountering with our earlier custom application. We are also very happy with their support, offered 7 days a week, especially on weekends, which we found tremendously helpful. I will be happy to recommend Booth TrackerTM at any time to other flea markets."

"The swap meet was being previously operated using a manual system. We decided to implement management software for automating our space rental operations and based on extensive research found Booth TrackerTM as the best option. We are extremely pleased with the fact that apart from the functionality and flexibility of the software and the operational control it provides us, E-SoftSysTM readily customized Booth TrackerTM to suit some of our unique requirements related to late fees, ticket printing and some other features that we needed. The implementation team gave us valuable advice on the best practices for managing and streamlining flea market operations. I would like to congratulate E-SoftSysTM on having an excellent support team. I have never dealt with a company that has the type of customer support team that E-SoftSysTM has. Keep up the good work. I will be happy to recommend Booth TrackerTM any time to other flea markets."

I-75 Super Flea Market (Ocala, Florida)
|
|
The I-75 Super Flea Market, located in Ocala, Florida is one of Florida's
newest, largest, and most modern flea markets with 1,300 lock-up, covered and
blue-sky booths. The Market currently attracts 10,000 to 12,000 shoppers
weekly.
|
|
I am C. Ray Greene, III, an owner of the I-75 Super Flea Market. We have no
affiliation with E-SoftSysTM other than being a user of Booth
TrackerTM.
|
|
Once I became aware that Booth Tracker is Microsoft Certified, I knew that
Booth Tracker met the highest standards in the software industry. We contacted
the Booth Tracker team and said, "Let's get started." This was a very wise
decision on our part.
|
|
Installation of Booth Tracker took place on Thursday morning,
December 7, 2006. Implementation and training took place on Thursday and
Friday. We were operating Booth Tracker "live" on Saturday and Sunday. After
completing the Booth Tracker implementation I told Kat Shenoy, President and
CEO of E-SoftSys, "How in the world did we ever manage the Booth Rental
functions without Booth Tracker?" I will tell you. We did it with a lot of
unnecessary paperwork, time, expense and many rental mistakes. Prior to
implementing Booth Tracker, we maintained pieces of information in Excel,
pieces of information in Word and the remaining information on lots of paper.
|
|
Additionally, thanks to the implementation of Booth Tracker, we were able to
locate and create six additional lock-up spaces from previously empty market
space. Inclusion of these spaces into the Booth Tracker System more than paid
for the cost of Booth Tracker. Just do the math: $225 per month for six spaces!
|
|
Below are additional comments I must mention regarding Booth Tracker:
|
-
E-SoftSys has thought about everything while designing the software and Booth
Tracker has more than exceeded our expectations.
-
Booth Tracker has given us better control on our operations and makes it much
easier to conduct financial audits. Our auditors are highly impressed with the
software and we will definitely implement some of the add-on modules offered by
Booth Tracker.
-
Booth Tracker implementation and support team is highly professional and when
we contact Booth Tracker support, we get instant response.
-
Since Booth Tracker team has years of experience in the flea market industry,
they were able to make suggestions on how to improve our procedures and
establish additional internal controls to increase our revenue.
-
I highly recommend Booth Tracker to any medium to large sized flea market and
will be happy to discuss its benefits with any flea market owner who is
considering implementing Booth Tracker.

at the gate by scanning vendor's drivers license, check in function for
reserved vendors, thermal receipts printing, multi period discounts, color
coded graphical layout, various management reports etc. We were live on Booth
Tracker with in three weeks of signing the agreement. E-SoftSys quickly
converted over 1800 vendors from our legacy DOS system and performed custom
modifications with in a short period of time to meet some of our unique
requirements. E-SoftSys project team did an excellent job with the onsite
installation, training and implementation support. We are also pleased with the

positive things about the Booth Tracker product and their support services. I
am impressed with E-SoftSys ability to listen to customers and add new features
quickly and cost effectively. We are impressed with all the features and
management reports offered by Booth Tracker. We use the Booth Tracker barcode
module for checking in vendors at three gates at the Vineland Swap Meet and
will be using the MobilRental wireless module to check in vendors at the San
Fernando swap meet. We are able to generate a No Show Vendors report and
release absentee spaces at the click of a button and re rent those spaces
quickly to other vendors. In my opinion, Booth Tracker product and support is
far superior compared with our previous reservation software. We plan to
implement Booth Tracker at some of our other swap meets."
