Nothing I can think of - Cetec is well positioned and the cost is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cetec ERP solving and how is that benefiting you?

We chose to purchase Cetec ERP because we needed an ERP system that was more sized for our company, and was customizable without extensive cost. As a NetSuite shop for many years, we were paying Oracle plenty in order to integrate their software into our flow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cetec ERP?

Cetec helped us take our purchasing and inventory system to the next level. As a startup, we had a lot of need to lay out our processes and organize our information. Cetec was a very helpful tool in this process and the customer support was responsive and good about helping us customize fields to work for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cetec ERP?

Conceptually, I feel like Cetec is a bit like one of those old log cabin homes that had different rooms built off of it at different times and in different styles, creating an odd multigenerational amalgamation that works, but can be jarring.

When I input information, do I need to click Save, or Update, or click somewhere else on the screen so that the box I was working in will flash green? Sometimes I need to check a box next to the line I was working on in order for the change I was making to take effect. The experience sometimes feels inconsistent, and that can add to the learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cetec ERP solving and how is that benefiting you?

Inventory Control, Planning, PO organization. Cetec helps us track and organize information in a collaborative way. Our organizational growth would have been much more difficult without it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cetec ERP?

Support team listens to your requirements and they find answers. You can always reach a person when you need help. When you make errors, the Cetec ERP System doesn't punish you! Reversing errors are easy to understand and do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cetec ERP?

Not many things we do not like. However, one pet peeve I have are the email support tickets. Normal emails you have a chain of replies and it's easy to follow. With Cetec ERP support emails, the original problem is truncated from any replies. So instead of looking at one email, I need to filter out each reply as individual emails. Cetec ERP does have a support portal online that does keep these in better shape. However, living in an email world it would be nice to have organized the emails better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cetec ERP solving and how is that benefiting you?

Cetec ERP is solving many business problems we face. Allowing us to use customizable fields in areas of the program. Employees are more satisifed with the ease of use. Reporting is very helpful. The best thing we like is when we have a problem and each business is different, they suggest solutions that work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cetec ERP?

I like that you can customize the key terms to code specific search results from the bar at the top of the screen Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cetec ERP?

I dislike strongly that you can not customize the fields on the NCR report.

One is unable to search for Corrective actions and NCRs by title in the search engine.

And lastly, when searching for NCRs unless I export the file, which doesn't always do so in a timely manner, I cannot access all NCR history and classify information in a useful manner. Grouping of these NCRs with tags or a CUSTOM CATEGORY FIELD THAT IS SEARCHABLE FROM THE HOME NCR SCREEN is ideal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

created an inventory management solution. yet, as a qms operating in a erp it could still use some fine tuning when reporting metrics and statistics Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Taylor Wagen of Cetec ERP

Hi,

We appreciate the review and feedback. Have you contacted support with these issues? We support bonus columns (custom fields) on the NCR object - you can then make these searchable for your reporting. I've linked a how to for this process here, and you will find NCR available in your bonus column list.

Title is a filter on both NCR and CAR list - so perhaps there is another issue you are having, or this can be addressed by training. Additionally, we are about to release Custom Forms, which will allow you to build your own custom data collection on any object (NCR, inspections, etc).

We are disappointed you have had this experience, and would love to help you find and learn about these features that already exist in the system. Please contact our support team!

What do you like best about Cetec ERP?

It is reasonably priced, and definitely superior to having no ERP system. Not having any client side software to install and distribute within the company is nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cetec ERP?

It lacks adequate customizability. The browser based interface is not intuitive, and to be marginally efficient requires opening so many tabs that it slows down some computers. The organization of the menus and most of the content seems convoluted. In terms of documentation control, it is more or less completely lacking, leaving it to be controlled largely manually, which really is no control at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cetec ERP solving and how is that benefiting you?

It doesn't help us to solve our document control issues, though we would like it to. It is proving somewhat useful in solving inventory management issues and sales purchasing management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Taylor Wagen of Cetec ERP

Hi,

We appreciate your feedback and taking the time to review - we take user experience and support seriously, and would love to know, in more detail, the issues you mentioned regarding ease of use and the document control portion of the software.

Many users find the web-native nature of Cetec ERP to be very user friendly and intuitive, and is something we regularly receive positive feedback on. However, no system is perfect, and speed and ease of use are top priority for us, so we would love to hear more about the specific pain points in navigating and using the system. Please reach out to our support team with this info!

Secondly, in regards to your issues with document control - document management has performed well for the large majority of our customer base, so we would be eager to know more about what isn't cutting it for you so that we can address that. Same as our previous answer, please reach out to our support team! I've also linked one of our documentation pages on document management - hopefully that is useful for you. We have a number of other how-to videos on this as well.

Also - please review this workflow customization, as that may be a concern in the document approval process - http://cetecerp.com/support/how-to/workflow-customization.html

You can leverage this to design your own approval process (with some protections to ensure only the approved document revision is in circulation). Support can do a deeper dive with you to rework those steps around some of the hardcoding of the approvals.

Otherwise - your descriptions largely indicate a value-add ERP system that is helping to solve issues and problems in your business, which we are glad to hear, and we hope to continue to improve the software and your day to day use of it!

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Cetec ERP?

One of the key benefits of Cetec ERP is its user-friendly interface. Users appreciate how the dashboard provides an intuitive overview of key metrics and data, making it easy to access the information they need to make informed decisions. The software's design is also customizable, allowing users to adapt it to their specific business needs.

Another advantage of Cetec ERP is its cloud-based infrastructure. Users appreciate the convenience of being able to access their data and manage their operations from anywhere with an internet connection. This feature has become increasingly important as more businesses adopt remote work policies.

Users also appreciate the comprehensive feature set offered by Cetec ERP. From inventory management and order tracking to financial reporting and production planning, Cetec ERP provides a wide range of tools to help businesses stay organized and efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cetec ERP?

Some users have noted that the learning curve for using Cetec ERP can be steep, particularly for businesses that are new to ERP systems. This is because the software offers a wide range of features and capabilities, which can make it overwhelming for users who are not familiar with its functionality.

Additionally, some users have noted that the reporting features in Cetec ERP could be improved. While the software offers a range of financial reporting tools, some users have found that the reporting capabilities could be more customizable and flexible to meet their specific reporting needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cetec ERP solving and how is that benefiting you?

Lack of integration: Cetec ERP provides a single integrated system that can manage several business processes, including inventory management, order management, production planning, financial management, and customer relationship management. This can help eliminate the need for separate systems that may not communicate with each other, reducing errors and streamlining workflows.

Inefficient processes: Cetec ERP offers tools to help businesses automate and streamline their processes, including production scheduling, inventory control, and order fulfillment. This can help improve efficiency, reduce errors, and save time.

Poor visibility: The software offers a range of reporting and analytics tools that can help businesses gain insights into their operations, including inventory levels, sales data, and production schedules. This can help improve decision-making and provide a better understanding of the business's performance.

Lack of scalability: Cetec ERP is a cloud-based solution that can scale up or down depending on the business's needs. This can help businesses easily adapt to changes in demand, without the need for expensive hardware upgrades. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cetec ERP?

Cetec ERP is a cloud-based platform, which means it can be accessed from anywhere with an internet connection. This flexibility enables remote work, collaboration across different locations, and real-time data access, empowering businesses to stay connected and responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cetec ERP?

Most of the integrations from ERP are working with third-party applications. So we have to make additional configuration or development work. It is difficult to handle. So the Cetec ERP developer team has to develop it inside as soon as possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cetec ERP solving and how is that benefiting you?

Cetec ERP is solving Customization issues. It offers customization options to tailor the system to specific business requirements. It allows businesses to configure workflows, data fields, reports, and user permissions, ensuring that the software aligns with their unique processes and workflows.

What do you like best about Cetec ERP?

A place to put finished documents and have them reviewed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cetec ERP?

The control of the documents doesnt fit our needs. Cannot set states we need of our documents (we contacted support and were told it wasnt possible). Very difficult to set up permissions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cetec ERP solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is used for sales in our company by others. I need it for doc control, it is useful to have completed docs in one spot, but the way it is organized and the way reviews happen are relatively uncontrolled due to permissions being hard to get right. We have tried to contact support and have had a poor experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Taylor Wagen of Cetec ERP

Hi,

We are sorry that was your understanding of the document workflow. I've attached a how to on setting up custom workflows (which I assume is the issue you are referring to). These are customizable, and some of the controls required must be stringently role-restricted. Please reach out to support again for further training and guidance on this; I've spoken with support and we will be looking out for your ticket! We are disappointed this is your experience, and that it would spark this review in light of other ways the software is helping your business.
