Aptean Process Manufacturing ERP Reviews
Pros
Trace is a huge win for our Quality group for audits and any product tracing that is required, which a very nice time saver.
It is a very stable and reliable solution for a growing Food and Beverage company and the users feel like they have a voice in the product.
Cons
Uses a development language that is not well known.
It is coming and currently in development, I want the modules to be UI browser based (Chrome, IE, etc.) so there is no need to load a software client and I can use any type of mobile device.
"Ross ERP - Not great, but good."
Pros: The ability to manage reports.
Cons: Difficult interface, frequent crashes.
"Reg Rev"
Pros: Accounting and production scheduling is easy to use. Reports can be created.
Cons: Not enough flexibility for RM management.
"Decent program. User Friendly"
Pros: The functionality, it's very user friendly. Customer service is helpful.
Cons: It seems a little out-of-date. The product could use some upgrades.
"Still getting the kinks worked out, but enjoying the information at our fingertips"
Overall: We will be able to visibility and transparency across all plants for corporate, reducing the time for close, as well as sharing materials and ingredients that are shared. Trace is a huge win for our Quality group for audits and any product tracing that is required, which a very nice time saver.
Pros: For me in materials, production planning and distribution, the ERP functions in Inventory, job creation and the soon to be implemented Planet Together have the most impact and are the most fruitful for my daily work. The customized reports/inquiries allow me to better manage inventories and as well as customer orders.
Cons: The system itself doesn't seem to be very intuitive, and it could have more features that allow for defaults (auto population). There should be more opportunity to "drill down" from within vs. having to go from one tab to another to get the information you are looking for. Footprint should be something that is automatically populated as well. When one creates or changes or moves something in the system, it should be standard to see the users id stamped in the transaction itself, rather than having to use a QBF table to look this information up.
"Ross ERP is a user friendly suite designed for specific industry verticals. "
Overall: It is the heart of our system of record and has performed extremely well for us over the last 18 years of food and beverage process manufacturing. We have most recently taken on massive core and new product growth during our expedited capital investment plan and Ross ERP has sustained the growth and speed of our implementation plan.
Pros: It is a great fit for the Food & Beverage Process industry. It is the heart and soul of our business and Aptean leadership is definitely customer focused and listens to the user community. I like the feature and functionality improvement process that the supplier uses and believe this ERP suite is affordable and sufficient for the million and billion dollar companies.
Cons: It is coming and currently in development, I want the modules to be UI browser based (Chrome, IE, etc.) so there is no need to load a software client and I can use any type of mobile device. I have seen some preliminary development on this and it is exciting which will make the ease of use and screen flow outstanding.
