Editor's review
This is an organizer tool for important pieces of information; things like serial number of a gadget you have.
SoftCAT Free is an organizer database. This tool will store information about what you have and exactly where each item is. Besides physical assents it will help keep important information like warranty information for your appliances too. If you need to call the company for a trouble report you will need to have the details (serial number, and other registration information) handy. Each data record can have more than 30 data fields. However detailed information you need to store can be managed with this. For example, if you need to track information like program title, version, publisher, platform, type (commercial, freeware, shareware, etc.), category (Desktop Enhancements, Games, Utilities, etc.), price, installation date, installation folder, product homepage, serial number, and registration name, etc. the tool will make it easy for you. Password protection and back up facilities are available.
While the free trial version gives you a good sense of how the product is, it does not include some attractive features available with the full version. These are Auto catalog, forms designer, report designer and export facilities. Auto catalog checks your computer and adds details to the database automatically. Forms designer will let you customize the data entry format while report designer helps with the report formats. Data exports can be made in text, Excel, XML and HTML formats. This has a simple interface and is quite intuitive. Most users would be able to get productive very quickly. The controls are also well laid out. This is a good product and has many useful features. If you have a need, here is a good candidate for trying out.
