The efficiencies we get with it are critical to our business

December 31st, 2014 • Roles: Purchaser & End User

When we were in need of a new computer system, we looked at several different products as well as continuing with what we had. We wanted a Microsoft centric platform, we wanted an SQL based database we wanted full access and control of the data ourselves, which we were not seeing in a lot of systems.

We do things today with BisTrack that we didn’t anticipate 10 years ago. The efficiencies we get with it are critical to our business and we feel good we have a platform that we can scale up and add on to. BisTrack has to be the best product out there because of both the architecture of the platform it’s on as well as the flexibility of the product and the flexibility of the people who support it.
