Testimonials for connect2

Looking at usability, user-friendliness and appearance of the available systems, that’s what swayed us in the connect2 direction, and the pricing was competitive as well.

(Customer Technology Support

We liked the look of the connect2 system from the start, and when we had a demo of what it could do, we were sold! …It’s no exaggeration to say that checkouts typically take 90% less time than with the previous system.

University of Derby

We found connect2 to be clear and easy to understand for both students and staff. We were specifically impressed with the feature that allowed us to locate any piece of equipment at any time, offering details of who has the equipment, when it is due back or if it is out for repair

University of Lincoln

Connect2 allows us complete control over our equipment usage, it’s flexible enough that we can operate our stores how we need without being constrained by the software. Our students can use it with minimal instruction due to its e-store style.

CCUMC - where will you be in 108 years?

This year’s conference in San Antonio was equally as energetic and full of good, thought provoking content as last year, when I was a CCUMC first timer. It also included an historic world event that had not happened in 108 years …. Go Cubs!! It was a tense and stressful night for those who stayed to the end.
