Your system has been wonderful. I was so impressed with how easy it is to work with, I recommended you to our contracts department. You have always been very responsive to the changes I've requested over the years. When I ask you to do something quickly, you've always done it immediately. I appreciate how accessible you are, especially to my assistants when I'm on vacation. It puts my mind at ease, knowing you're available to help them if they have questions about the system, or run into any kind of problem. Thank you for everything you've done over the years.

Voice and Video rents out a wide variety of audio and video equipment to businesses and organizations. Critical aspects of this system are the inventory availability, issuing and receiving rented equipment using bar code scanning, the ability to track equipment rented from other companies (sub-rentals), and an interface to QuickBooks for billing purposes.
Beach Access Software embarked on the challenge of developing a software program for our audio/visual equipment rental company about six years ago. Now we cannot imagine running our business without it. Through the entire process, owner Rocky Smolin has been incredible. From the beginning, he listened to our requirements, and created a system with an interface that is easy to learn and use, but it can be modified seamlessly on an as needed basis.
We continue to enjoy our relationship with Beach Access, especially because Rocky is always immediately responsive every time we call him on the phone or send him an e-mail. He is one of our few vendors that not only returns phone calls, but always addresses any of our issues or suggested modifications on a very timely basis.
We would not have an issue giving any business person our highest recommendation for the services provided by Beach Access and the excellent support of his products.

This product was created for the consulting firm of Saltzer, Sutton, and Endicott for sale primarily to Armed Forces installations. It satisfies auditing requirements to track various kinds of assets, principally the contents of temporary housing units. It required the remote collection of data using hand-held scanning and data collection devices, synchronized with the central database, and extensive reporting needed to satisfy government auditing requirements.
The system Beach Access Software made for us works very well. In addition, Mr. Smolin's personal service level and response to the (rare) problem has been extremely satisfactory. When our customers experienced occasional difficulties during installation or operation, Rocky responded quickly and thoroughly, helping both our customers and us.
