“customizable and logical tracking”
Pros
I love the many ways I can customize it to fine-tune different parts of my business. Tracking parts, following orders and the overall visibility are very logical and simple for my team to use.
Cons
At the start I felt there were extra unnecessary steps to enter an order for my shop. Over time with help from their engineers, we got rid of some and the others just became a normal part of entering hundreds of orders.

“simplified work and job cost insight”
Pros
It has made our daily work so much simpler. One of the biggest wins for me is the detailed view I now have into job costs. I've been able to adjust prices when needed and my customers have understood. It's also shown me exactly where I need to find ways to be more productive. Now my whole team works from one single system instead of jumping between different programs. This has also made training new people consistent every time. The part-specific instructions that travel with each job have made sure every operator knows the steps at every stage. All the information they need is right there every single time. It creates amazing consistency.
Cons
There are just a couple of things I'm hoping for in the future: an option to edit an invoice instead of creating a whole new one when a change is needed and seeing the part number or at least the quantity, listed on the received orders or work order page.
