We needed an ERP system that would handle complex manufacturing processes and BOMs, providing a high level of traceability while meeting all regulatory standards. OptiProERP and SAP Business One seemed to combine advanced manufacturing processes and strong financial controls, two critical areas of Qvella. OptiPro was also able to meet all traceability needs and satisfy international regulations. We felt OptiPro hit all the marks, including the “softer” pieces like their willingness to spend time with us before we’d signed up to understand what we wanted, the user-friendliness of the system, the multitude of canned reports, that it’s an “out of the box” system and so on. We also appreciated that they respected our budgetary constraints, demonstrating that they understand working with earlier-stage businesses.
