Review on MAPData by Rich Ferguson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

MAPData - Very useful in planning processes

I like this software because it gives me a lot of information about my business (costs for products). It's very good to give an overall overview of your production process, but also each project has its speciality area where you can get more precise information. The interface could be easier; sometimes buttons are confusing, difficult to find or hard to understand from first time use. Maybe due to different language translation? Maybe try other versions too if english isn't what you usually work with, maybe they have a version that works better. Try different projects types and see how easy it is to adapt to them. Give a general idea about costs for the product itself so we know exactly our margins. This solution allows us to make comparisons between similar items from previous years, which helps us evaluate trends and changes over time. The ease to use this tool to create manufacturing plans for your business! Not that much. It's very simple to start using but I don't see any special features. Maybe if it was more "interactive" then maybe there would be something different. As a solution to make manufacturing plans with easy-to-understand charts for all users from technical engineers to managers.
