"PINpoint V5"

4.5/5

What do you like best about PINpoint MES?

We were able to track our production starting from the Release of the Production order to the Shipment of the finished goods, The best part is it captures a lot of data and gives us the best opportunity for analysis. The layout by the pinpoint was awesome, they had various tabs that provide better visualization. There were unique route maps for each production line. so that we can create as many routes as required for our production line. Also, we can add multiple products to each route, thus resulting in numerous combinations but all were feasible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PINpoint MES?

It has its self-developed dashboard to display our production performance in their defined views and perspective, Options to Customising those dashboards by the end user will increase its wide usage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
