Excellent Vendor System with great tech support
I've used another vendor system for years but the mainland sim I'm in is perpetually laggy and I needed a system that had less lag with a gift card and affiliate system. So far, this has been a wonderful choice. Casper has been proactive, answers IMs and notecards immediately and is responsive to suggestions sometimes making the changes within minutes of a request. The website is easy to use and the vendors update themselves automatically when you add or change anything - similar to magic boxes - no more "uploading inventory". The system also updates vendors automatically - ALL the vendors at once - a lot less work using a prim that flies around the store and returns to you once it's done. You can also import Hippo, XStreet and SL Marketplace data so you can analyze your sales. Taken together, this is a win win for me.
Excellent customer service!
I can not recommend this vendor enough, simply for the customer service. I had a minor issue and IM'ed the creator and the creator immediately responded and even came to my sim to address the issue. Good service is so rare these days (RL and SL). Keep up the fantastic work!
Why a Hippo when you can have a Tiger?
I spent weeks researching all the major vendor systems. Hippo works great but their customer service is terrible. I asked a simple question and was given links to their site as answers. If I wanted to read 3 pages of text to find out one thing I would have, in the time it took to paste that link you could have typed 'yes it does that'. Then there's APEZ... well when their servers are up they kinda work.
This is an amazingly well designed product. Literally I added all my products in 15 minutes. The vendors are simple and sleek out of the box. It ties into your SL Marketplace store for all-around product tracking. AND THE SITE! Affiliate vending is simple. Vendor profiles make restricting products to different vendors a breeze. The site is simple and easy to use.
Only thing I see that is missing is a product update delivery system and a holo-vend system that uses Fauxrezzer boxes. Then this would be hands down the best and most comprehensive vending system is SL.
Basically this is money not spent but invested in your SL business.
Much better than Hippo
Ive been using hippo for a while now, just because it is what every one uses... WHY???
Caspervend uses so few scripts that its running happily at 0.002 CPU time on my sim.
Its so easy to set up and any help that I needed the creator was always very very helpful. It does absoloutly everything that I want out of a vendor. This is just the most perfect vendor system on SL.
Very slick scripting - fast, simple and good looking
This is the first vendor system to tempt me away from Hippo. The efficient scripts make a real improvement on a sim with multiple vendors rezzed. The website is also fast and easy to use, and although there are a few less features than Hippo it does everything I need and does it very well. The vendors themselves are very prim efficient.
