PICTUS Reviews & Product Details

Our members can access PICTUS once and reach all of the associations that they are members in. At the beginning, only log in and a members possibly had 9 provinces he could access at once. Most of our members are throughout Canada, and that's something they really appreciate. I also like the fact that the Associations also sees where a company is a member and can question the fact that they are not members in such and such provinces. Before, reports from members were sent to each association and it was the associations responsability to enter the members data in our accounting system manually.

Audits What doesn't work for me is the data when a member is audited. We often have to go back in time and generate reports according to the period that member was audited. You also have to play with the dates, the date when a member started selling vs when he's audited and actually started selling. Annual filers Rate changes don't specifically occur at the beginning of a year but mostly at quarter 2. So for our annual filers, that is a problem since only one report is generated at the beginning of the year. For the associations, it's a lot of work since we must change that member from a yearly filer to a quarterly filer. Then Pictus generates 4 reports to reflect all rates. One report should be generated with all rates for that year and a member could enter for example quantities sold in Q1 and all the rest in the nine remaining months.

PICTUS is most helpful as a fully integrated, regulatory-aligned platform that supports the end-to-end operation of TSBC’s program—from registration and fee collection to claims processing, communications, compliance, and reporting. Its strengths include strong alignment with stewardship program requirements, self-service functionality for registrants, configurable workflows for claims and compliance, and built-in analytics. The system reduces administrative burden, improves data integrity and auditability, and supports consistent, defensible reporting. User feedback also indicates high satisfaction and ease of use, which is critical for our external stakeholders.

Pictus also supports API based data uploads, which allows a pathway to integrate with external systems, such as the current field data collection system.

PICTUS provides solid foundational capabilities in reporting and analytics but currently has limited use of AI or advanced predictive tools. The system relies primarily on rules-based processing rather than intelligent automation but this is changing as the Pictus team has signaled these tools are coming. Vendor support is generally responsive and engaged, supported by user resources and ongoing improvements. Performance is stable for core financial, claims, and compliance functions.

As an agnostic product software solution the inability to tailor some terminology to us is limited but this is a minor inconvenience. The only other item is that some core workflows are not fully digitized end-to-end, particularly in field data collection (not offered) and claims intake (a TSBC decision due to our own financial constraints, not that of the platform or the Pictus team).

Not only does PICTUS make it easy to manage your EPR, but it also fills all the gaps to ensure your stewardship program can be managed from every aspect. The PICTUS team is reliable, hard working, and quick to help with any concerns or issues I have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is very little to dislike about PICTUS; the team is accommodating and will tailor the software to meet your specific needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
