ThriftCart customer testimonials

ThriftCart had everything that we needed.

"ThriftCart has allowed us to be more streamlined, more efficient and make that bigger impact that we're wanting to do."

Since implementing ThriftCart, we noticed a big improvement.

"The onboarding and training process was very simple. We were able to schedule these sessions on our own time, so we could work around business and employee scheduling."

ThriftCart has become a key partner.

"The use of ThriftCart reporting has enabled us to track and monitor performance on when and how things sell, what our employees are selling, and how often — and that has really made a difference in our business."

Reporting is very accurate and very easy.

"What we were looking for is good reporting. We switched to ThriftCart because it was more accessible and easier to train."
