The ease to use this software is really amazing! I have never used any other program like it before so i can't compare anything else. It's very user friendly as well. You don't need too much training in order to use this product effectively. This software has allowed us to keep track of all our products from farm to table which makes running inventory easier than ever. There are no downsides that we've come across but there could be more features added such as alerts when something goes wrong with your products (which isn't always an issue). We're solving problems relating to food safety by being able to trace everything back to where it came from and who handled it.
