"A Feature-Rich Work Instruction Platform"
What do you like best about VKS?

As an industrial engineering consultancy, we have helped several of our customers implement VKS as a digital work instruction platform. In addition to implementing VKS for customers, we also use it to support our own training activities. The work instructions themselves are very intuitive to set up and to use and the visual nature of the guidebooks streamlines their use for operators. Our customers have also made extensive use of several VKS features for recording data such as productivity, torques, and quality issues. The document and control and management features within VKS streamlines the process of updating and approving guidebooks as well. VKS also provides great support for their customers.

"Digitalization on Shop floor"
What do you like best about VKS?

For us at Phoenix Mecano, digitalization on the shop floor is not simply about eliminating paper; it is about achieving high quality standards, increasing efficiency, and simplifying complex work instructions. The intuitive user interface is an additional strength; our workforce spans a broad range of ages, yet all employees are able to navigate it with ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VKS?

A team work functionality should be implemented to meet the needs of larger groups working on assembly lines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Detailed Work Instruction platform"
What do you like best about VKS?

VKS is easy to use and provide a great visual tool to use in a manufacturing environment. Our staff was quickly able to become familiar with the software and generate informative Work Instruction which include videos, photos and annotations. The implementation process was easy and the QR Codes provide a quick means to access a Work Instruction from any Process Center on our production floor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VKS?

There is nothing we dislike about the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"As versatile as a Swiss Army Knife"
What do you like best about VKS?

VKS differentiates its service from its competitors' by being as versatile as one can be in terms of Operator interface. From tool calibration to quality control and traçability data collection, VKS can do it all. As an Industrial Engineering Consultant I've had the opportunity implement one of their products in an electronic product manufacturing setting. The limitation was the client's imagination. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VKS?

Certain hard coded features and fonctionalities we're not as swiftly intuative as I would've liked. But through a bit of mileage with it as a visual developper you can easily find workarounds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Work Instruction Platform!"
What do you like best about VKS?

1. Great customer service that is quick to reply with amazing insight and tips.

2. Constantly being updated with new features that improve various aspects of the software.

3. Web based application that streamlines access on any device with a browser. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VKS?

The internal slide editor is not robust enough which was explained as a design decision to limit creativity in order to standardize styling for customers who want that. This takes away from customers who wish to have more creative tools at their disposal and are less concerned about standardized styling. Giving the option to toggle styling options on and off would be nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"#1 Choice for Digital Work Instructions"
What do you like best about VKS?

1. The customer service at VKS is, without a doubt, the best I have ever had experience with. They are always quick to respond, answer questions, provide support, etc.

2. The software is so easy to use from any position (leadership looking at data, operators interacting with the instructions, quality investigating a non-conformance, and engineering creating the instructions).

3. The price. VKS offers a scalable solution at a reasonable price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VKS?

There have been improvement ideas in the past that we have provided, and VKS considers them in their development to help mitigate anything that may be a 'dislike.' Working with a software company that takes customer feedback and implements it is lovely. So honestly, no dislikes from my side. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
