Operations Support Machinery Used the software for: 2+ years ### "CNC Manufacturing" November 16, 2020 3.0 \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] has been very helpful with an questions or issues. I have used other ERP softwares (most exposure to Epicor). Realtrac is a more simple ERP as far as user friendly application. Also since last update, software is slow and sometimes glitchy. And have had to exit and then re-open the job screen to get any attachments to show. Pros Rightboard is in real-time so changes are able to be seen quickly by shop personnel. Cons There is no option to see transaction history of parts on the inventory side. When we have an issue, we can't see what transactions took place prior to see where the problem occur to make our qty off or see any negative qty's. Also, status of "incomplete" for finished goods is pointless for how Realtrac treats it once moved to a job to make the part complete. Just better off making a consumed material part number, which means several more parts numbers for each finished good that are left at incomplete stages. Review Source IO Israel O. Director Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Efficient and User-Friendly" March 4, 2025 5.0 My overall experience with REALTRAC has been largely positive, though there are a few areas that could be improved Pros REALTRAC is known for its stability and reliability, ensuring minimal downtime and consistent performance. Cons While the basic plan is affordable, accessing advanced features or premium support may require a significant investment. Review Source MT Mervyn T. Customer Service Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Mervyn’s Review" February 23, 2025 5.0 Overall REALTRAC is very functional and easy to use , and can be much improved. Pros The software was very easy to use everything updated quickly and was very effective . Cons The display and layout was a bit confusing at first . Review Source MW Matthew W. Program Manager Automotive Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Review" November 19, 2020 3.0 The biggest benefit is the costing records. Pros The software is relatively easy to learn and setup with minimal training. Cons The cost analysis within a job only considers the cost of the piece price, not tooling, setup, expedite fees. Additional line items other than the piece cost should flow through on cost tab. Not all jobs are just piece cost. Production on going jobs are not met with ease on this software, the software seems to be geared towards lot qtys or one time orders. Alternatives considered [Global Shop Solutions](https://www.capterra.com/p/79014/One-System-ERP-Solutions/)[Plex](https://www.capterra.com/p/196551/Plex/) Reason for choosing REALTRAC Integration with QB's rather than an overall Financial system.
