CloudDISPATCH

Pros: This system is easy to use and to train too. Everything is live up to the minute. We use this for our spares inventory, pm scheduling and our planning process. We have enjoyed the document center. This has allowed us to have information at the job at our finger tips. Without the need to chase drawings, manuals and so many other things. Getting support from L2L has been easy too. They let you see and they always let you know where your request is. The support team is alway making updates to help make the system work better.

Cons: At times the updates causes in house tem members pain. Not all users get notified that updates will be happening or have occurred.

Overall: I have really enjoyed working with this system. It is one of the easiest systems I have used. I like the fact that we can bring in new team members and in a really short time. They are off and running using it to do their daily jobs. It has allowed us to have good data to be able to show and make good business decisions.

Pros: Easy to use and what you don't know how to use the support will take the time to show you how and why it is used. The data is always available with the most up to date information and can be pulled in a variety of different reports. Setup of the system is very simple and can be started up in a short amount of time. I recommend using as much of the system as possible because as you add additional modules you may need to change previous setups to work with added modules.

Cons: The major con about the software is that even if you want to have something deleted from the system the request is always denied.

Overall: The downtime information that is collected allows of the engineering dept. to isolate major problems and attack the root cause.

Pros: All references a developer needs to create interfaces is in one central location. Amazing API documentation with clearly defined FFDs and descriptions. Tech Support is among the best and quickest I've experienced in my nearly 40 years in IT.

Cons: I am not great as a JSON or XML developer, so am forced to find workarounds (Excel XML using VBA), but have managed to be able to provide users all the reporting and synchs they desire. Wish there were some direct interfaces with iSeries. I'd like to utilize for Scrap, but management is hesitant to proceed.

Overall: Our MRO department uses this for all requests and spares issues. Facilities uses for maintenance scheduling, dispatches, equipment BOMs. Saves much time and provides accurate reporting.

Pros: - Resource labor transparency

- Dispatch board; the way it systematicly prioritizes and displays work

- Data Reporting

- Spares module

- System versatility

Cons: - Due to the large amount of data the system can provide, one can get overwhelmed. Users will need to keep mining data simple at first, until they can adjust to root causing issues with such large data sets.

Overall: Often times, people and systems hide issues which will restrict improvement and growth. Problems are pearls, elevate them using Leading2lean.

CloudDISPATCH has supported my spares cost reduction, equipment downtime reduction and increased resource efficiency, communication and data transparency improvement initiatives.

Pros: -Maintenance history tracking

-Maintenance scheduling

-Document storage

-Spare management

Cons: -Spare consumption cost accuracy poor due to bugs

-Did not have escalation title option

-Less admin function

Overall: -Centralize all the maintenance documents for fast retrievable and monitoring

-Assist systematically on machine historical data to prevent unnecessary downtime

-Help to minimize technician repair time, able to view in glance on past 30 days activities

-Able to plan systematically on the spare part consumptions & it's change frequency

Pros: I implemented the spares portion so I am partial to it. The Spares module is very easy to use and track parts.

Cons: Getting changes and updates. If you do want something new, they put it on a list. It does seem to happen but you have to live with the canned system for a while until enough people seem to ask for the same change.

Overall:

we use to schedule our PMs on equipment and to log all work done for breakdowns and scheduled PMs. It is easy to use and customer service is great!

Pros: you don't need to adapt your way of working to the software, L2L is designed to be simple, and you can track what you want in your factory. L2L connects all people , on the floor, but also in support departments, that save a lot of time.

Cons: we should manage different release per module, and the Customer could decide to update or not. We should be aware when a new release is available, and decide to install it : as Apple does

Pros: Very user friendly, the most visual system on the market, Allows me to mine the data and make sound decisions. The team at L2L is top notch and they have lived manufacturing so they know how the real world operates, unlike software developers who live in the theoretical world

Cons: There is a trade off of having software that is customized to your site vs. everyone has to use the same features

Pros: Love how many things you can do with it. Also the fact that you can ask for additional changes. Most products do not offer to improve the product after it's been released.

the support is wonderful to say the least, most of the time the reply to an issue or suggestion is in the same day.

Cons: Not really a bad thing but updates are released too frequently in my experience.

Pros: Easy to integrate data from existing systems

Quick and measurable results

Simple to train team members

Real Time data

Excellent reporting

Drives continuous improvement

Great value

Cons: After over using the software for over 4 years the only thing I would change is the is to add an instant messaging feature within the program.

Pros: the responsiveness of the customer service staff to help understand the software and figure out fixes.

Cons: Nothing, our site has had minimal issues - all have been resolved.

Overall: We track our metrics such as attainment downtime and changeover times...very good experience with this platform as it is user friendly and the customer service staff is above and beyond.

Pros: The software is very user friendly and in the event of a problem the tech support was very knowledgeable about the software to the point that the fix was diagnosed and fixed quickly.

Cons: I really don't have a con because of the great service I experienced first hand with the tech support.

Pros: The support from the team and how easy the software is to use.

Cons: I wish the calendar for scheduling was a bit more to my liking but I am old school. Other than that its great

Overall: We have had a great experience with support and the navigation thru the software, its very user friendly and the staff is awesome!!

Pros: The best way to have all the information in the same place.

Cons: Some modules still need to be polished.

Overall: It´s being a very good experience and a giant change on the maintanance operations daily basis

Pros: Ease of pulling information and very intuitive.

Cons: Where was it 10 years ago? Wish it was available back then.

Pros: I have been using this for over 4 years now and its been the best tool I have. If I have an issue they get back to me really quickly and fix the issues in a timely manner.

Cons: Some features just need to be improved as far as the checklists go. I love everything else

Overall: Overall I am Very Satisfied!!!!! I am glad we have this available.

Pros: I`m really interested in all the ways the system can track for maintenance items. ( Weekly, monthly, quarterly, annually). The system also counts strokes which that how we measure are tooling life. This will fine tune are tooling usage which will be a savings in tooling cost.

Cons: In our process we make shells into finished product and we are currently not capturing any shell data in the software forum.

Overall: I felt a little overwhelmed at first , but once we got to navigate through the system and asking questions things started to come into perspective.

Pros: Very informative

Information streamlined in each section

Breaks down all aspects of the production process

Once you understand the programming, easy to navigate thru

Cons: At first, alot of information( overwhelming)

In beginning trying to remember the locations

Overall: Thought the process was well thought out and presented well. The information was described and explained very well. The instructors made you feel comfortable thru the process and made sure you was understanding the programming before continuing.

Pros: This is the most user friendly CMMS software that I have ever used and I have tried quite a few. New users learn to use the system in as little as a hour.

Cons: The reports are inaccurate and frustrating to use, but you can export the data and create your own reports with excel. Poor customer support.

Pros: Instant visibility from home, work or mobile.

Cons: Getting custom reports written to pull out data.
