AMFG Reviews & Product Details

I really enjoy AMFG because it helps us stay on top of production in a way that wasn’t possible before. Having live machine data means we can make informed decisions on the fly, whether it’s adjusting schedules, managing maintenance, or keeping production on track. The insights we get from AMFG allow us to anticipate problems before they happen, which has made a big difference in our efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have struggled with some of the extra features that don’t feel as seamlessly built into the system. The core process, ticket to quote to project, works well, but some of the other tools feel like they were added on later rather than fully integrated. It’s not a dealbreaker, but it does mean there’s a small learning curve for certain tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software’s ability to handle high-volume, serial production and ensure repeatability in part manufacturing. We can set production parameters and part specifications and maintain consistency across all our products.

The scheduling feature has also helped us gain full visibility over our manufacturing processes, allowing us to optimize machine usage and increase production capacity. I personally like the live machine monitoring feature as it provides me with valuable insights into operational success and allows us to make data-driven decisions.

The ordering portal is another major advantage. It streamlines the ordering process for our customers, making it much easier for them to place orders quickly, which helps us meet their growing expectations for fast delivery. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The lack of order-level pricing makes it challenging for us to manage pricing on a per-order basis. This is an important feature that we would benefit from in a high-volume production environment. The customer management structure within AMFG could use some adjustments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
