Pros

Wir setzten Main-Tool in der Wartung und Instandhaltung der Gepäckförderanlage Terminal 1 ein. Am besten hat mir die Zusammenarbeit mit unserem Dienstleister GLI gefallen, der unser Altsystem auf die 2018 neue Plattform portiert hatte. Die Software ist nach unseren Bedürfnissen in der Wartung / Instandhaltung zugeschnitten.

Cons

Auch wenn die Software unseren Bedürfnissen angepasst wurde, gibt es in der Bedienung noch einige Punkte in der Bedienung, die aus Navision etwas sperrig sind. Allerding konnte kein anderer Mittbewerber diese Punkte besser erfüllen.

Review source

Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication.
