We rely on Cetec ERP to control all of our business practices in one central location. This software is essential for us to focus on what we do best, which is supporting our customer needs.
Cetec ERP Review
I began implementing material management systems in the 1980s, when they cost millions of dollars and required a team of people to install the system in the “glass house” data center. CETECERP provides most of the functionality of those systems with implementation times and costs that are a fraction of what clients paid in the 1980s and 1990s. Quickly operational, it requires minimal training before I could use it to operate a simulated company to complete a full cycle of planning to shipping our “product.” I run a business assistance program in Maine, supporting close to 100 companies, and would recommend CETEC to any of them as a means of tracking inventory, production and results
Cetec ERP Review
We are constantly recommending Cetec to other growing manufacturing companies. We are extremely satisfied with the service so far, and have nothing but good things to say about both the Cetec ERP product and the team supporting it. Even when we do have a unique requirement, their response to it has been nothing short of encouraging, every time.
Cetec ERP Review
Businesses are by nature reactive, but most successes you see in manufacturing excellence are a result of being proactive. We chose a change of mindset, to move from the reactive status quo to being proactive. A superior, forward looking cloud manufacturing ERP system was an essential aspect of this change.
Cetec ERP Review
Cetec provided excellent training and online support. During a customer onsite quality audit from a major Aerospace and Defense company, we reached out in real time to Cetec for support to answer some deep diving Quality, Document Control and Traceability questions. Cetec ERP is an outstanding product and their support has been world class. I highly recommend Cetec for any manufacturer looking to become more lean, meet ISO requirements and provide great customer support.
Cetec ERP Review
After a careful vetting and selection process, CIRS narrowed it down to two vendors: Cetec ERP and NetSuite. We saw that Cetec ERP offered a vastly more cost effective solution, friendlier support, and a much more robust suite of features geared specifically for manufacturing.
