Hanson Software, LLC
Please check out our other partner, Hanson Software, LLC at www.hansonsoftware.net to learn how they are shaping the way that St. Vincent de Paul's deliver their services! They have created custom, EXTREMELY LOW COST, software solutions to help us with our voucher processing and book pricing.
VoucherSmart, initially created through collaboration between St. Vincent de Paul of Neenah and St. Vincent de Paul of Appleton, can be used at any St. Vincent de Paul (or any agency that processes vouchers for household items) to help them alleviate voucher abuse by tracking where a voucher came from and where it was cashed. It also creates a bar-code encoded voucher that can be scanned at the store for automatic processing as well as making the vouchers impossible to fake.
BookVentory is a program that can be used at any thrift/resale store that sells books. This software scans the books, checks its popularity and suggests a competitive resale price based on that popularity. It will also automatically post online at the above link the latest books that have been scanned in and at which store, and it can even email you when your favorite book is available at your store!
