“simple implementation BUT weak service
Pros
The software is user friendly and the setup process is fairly simple.
Cons
Service is lacking and the sales team feels very pushy. A lot of what was promised never gets delivered. The software is clearly built for the US market so using it internationally is difficult especially for dates, weight units and accounting.

“better job costing insights
Pros
Switching to this platform felt like a major step up for our company when it comes to job costing accuracy. It lets us track materials and labor hours on each order which makes it much clearer to see which jobs are taking the most time. Because of that I've been able to identify the jobs that hurt our margins and put together more accurate estimates going forward.
Cons
A limitation I've run into is with part variations tied to vendors. When a supplier sends a new revision of the same part we usually can't tell it apart unless we create an entirely new part number. That ends up adding more manual data entry on our side than it should.

“Real time job tracking boost
Pros
Being able to monitor job status in real time through the work center updates really stood out to me! It gives me a clear view of which workstations are running behind and which ones are ahead of schedule so I can shift resources around and keep deliveries on time. That level of visibility is something I simply did not have before.
Cons
On the downside the reporting tool is not flexible enough when I need to review multiple jobs tied to the same material or customer group. For example when I tried to generate a profitability report for related customers I ended up having to export the data and combine it manually outside the system.
