Today’s process manufacturers face challenges in managing the product cycle, including formulas, recipes, batch production, and lot control.
These challenges are especially difficult to face when a company is still using legacy software like Microsoft Word, Excel, and Outlook. This is a problem because the data stored in those programs exists solely in an isolated file on a lone individual’s desktop or, if an office is a little more advanced, on an office-wide network. The lack of transparency here means that not everyone is knowledgeable about important information and that the information that people do have may be incomplete or inaccurate.

As your business has grown, it’s getting more difficult to generate timely reports on budgets and expenses and/or to align these categories with ongoing projects.
In the past, you’ve spent way too much time searching for and gathering much needed data and relevant information. Multiple open windows led you to more windows and separate programs like Excel and Word. Sometimes you have to open Outlook too, as you need to search your emails to find the latest information about the warranty, serial number, or other parts information for a broken piece of equipment.
