The FreeConsult ERP database has been built up over the last three and a half years, from direct telephone interviews with manufacturing companies. It consists of 3,500 UK and Irish discrete and process manufacturing companies, with turnovers between £5 and £50 million.
As a result of conversations with I.T.Managers, Manufacturing Managers and Operations Directors who use their applications, the performance of software vendors, and their suitability for different manufacturing applications can be judged.
Whilst no user is ever 100% happy, and no vendor can get it right every time, it quickly becomes obvious e.g. after 50 conversations with vendor X's customers, which vendors generally seem to have satisfied customers, and which ones do not.
To contact FreeConsult please telephone 0113 274 4947 or email enquiries@freeconsult.co.uk
A company's reasons for being unhappy with vendors are as follows:
The software was never a good fit for the business i.e. we made a poor choice
The business has changed and the present supplier's software does not meet these requirements e.g. we were make-to-stock, it's now all make-to-order
The support from the supplier is/has always been poor
Any changes have always involved a major expense ( probably linked to 1 and 2 )
The FreeConsult ERP service can help you to avoid these problems, and make sure that you get the most suitable software to meet your business requirements.
