### "Workwise review"

February 20, 2020

3.0

Looking forward to upgrading and using dashboards. The financial workbenches can provide some nice information on A/R and A/P but there would be timed saved and value in getting key metrics in one location

Pros

The Workbenches, particularly the Financial Workbench, are very useful allowing drill-down capability as well as exporting functionality.

Cons

So many of the reports in the system are not export friendly

### "Great for a small company"

August 29, 2019

4.0

Pros

Once you learn the system, it will perform all the functions required to run a manufacturing business. WorkWise's drill thru abilities are wonderful. I love the options of using the Workbench versus the Menus to research transactions in the system.

Cons

WorkWise is not intuitive. You need a consultant to spend time with you to learn your way around. WorkWise has been around since the mid 1980's. The old reports are not available in Excel format. You will need a data extractor to convert the data into a usable format.

### "Work wise was exactly what my client was looking for. A CRM with full marketing integration. "

September 19, 2017

5.0

Because of the email marketing feature we have been able to reconnect with old leads and find new leads in a easy and organized manner.

Pros

I really like how customizable WorkWise is. We needed that flexibility in a software with full marketing integration within a CRM.

Cons

Its hard to find something that is wrong with it actually but if I had to give one complaint it would be sometimes it gets buggy and you have to restart and clear the cache. But this happens infrequently and does not affect our business at all.

### "Our users love the new user interface via Workbenches. The product continues to evolve/get better!!"

August 15, 2017

5.0

Pros

Love the Workbenches. Love the integrations with OnContact CRM. Love how accessible data is. Our user group is great and everyone participates. The data dumps to Excel have been huge for our company. Well done.

Cons

Need to really know the database when mining for data. When needing to delegate work I often find myself assisting with where to get the data from and making sure the table joins are correct.

### "Great Software for small to middle market companies!"

September 4, 2019

4.0

Pros

The ability to customize the menus and also the ability to work with Workwise and get modifications if needed.

Cons

Please upgrade the whole system to the new programming platform and end the old legacy ties.

### "ASI Doors - Milwaukee, Wisconsin"

January 22, 2014

3.5

Pros

One of the major advantages for me as a 9 year user of TCM is the close proximity of WorkWise to my facility. They have been very responsive to questions and providing explanations. As for the product, I have always said, "Someone smarter than me created this, so figure it out and use it." As a company, we have been involved with "WorkWise" before it was named "WorkWise." I believe we go back to the 1980's. Something must be working, because we have grown with the product and continue to add 'modules' and expand our daily use of TCM.

Cons

I have been asking for years for a "Bin-Location" maintenance area/screen so you do not have to enter item locations three times: Kanban, Primary Bin, and "IM" bin location. No Luck so far.

### "Great ERP Software"

January 17, 2014

4.5

Pros

Workwise Role-Based ERP is simple ERP software that is easy to use. Our new employees are able to understand the software and be functional users in a short period of time. Workwise continues to make investments and improvements in their software. And they listen to users when making improvements. The workbenches are one of the best enhancements they have made.

Cons

They still have modules in some applications that could be improved. I would like to see some budgeting/financial planning module.

### "TCM Review"

May 27, 2014

4.5

Pros

It's an intuitive product from a good, local vendor.

Cons

The current version has some security holes. As a publicly-held company, our SOX compliance will not tolerate this.

### "WorkWise ERP"

November 4, 2016

4.0

WorkWise ERP has many strong modules to manage the floor, manage the financials and since it is SQL based, you can easily get at the data for custom reporting.

Pros

With the eProduction add on, the floor has a clean interface to interact with shop orders. The Workbenches give users control over how they work day to day.

Cons

Distribution Management is not present.
