They are one of our top contenders from a field of 13
They are one of our top contenders from a field of 13
Pros
Most notably is they requested to come on site to review our systems and processes to evaluate our facility prior to conducting the demo, Conversations continued to focus on the routing process and not disrupt what we were already doing. Can pull information from SAP without having to re-write the whole system.
Cons
Mixed feedback from our team on modular structure, but seems like it will fit our needs. Can get overwhelming with how many building blocks and modules they have as part of their system.
