Our Recommendation
Bravo Store Systems
Buy/Sell Plus has a solid buy ticket workflow and a light footprint. But it is Windows-only, tied to one workstation, and leans on manual exports and third-party uploaders. Bravo runs in the cloud on any device, syncs inventory online live, automates police reporting, prices intake with AI, and scales across locations.
Switching from Buy/Sell Plus to Bravo
Switching to Bravo takes about two to three weeks. Bravo exports your customers, items, and active holds and re-imports them into Bravo, then trains your team before go-live so you do not lose a day of revenue. See the full onboarding experience → Get the 30-day switching guide →
