The ability to customize and to integrate TACTIC into the existing ERP/MRP was key!
TACTIC is great. If you need help scheduling you production workflow, this is what you are looking for.
PROSFirst - The customer service is unbeatable! From start to finish, the Waterloo support team is right beside you every step of the way. It is one of the most intelligent and talented teams that I have worked with.Second - The user interface, and ease of use, made the implementation go that much smoother.Third - After implementation, the support didn't stop. As we shifted all MFG scheduling over to TACTIC, we discovered additional changes we wanted to make. Waterloo was there with the support and even offered suggestions.Last but definitely the biggest/most important Pro - This software works! All of the pros above are amazing, but when you get more than you expected from every part of TACTIC, there isn't much room for complaint.
CONSI don't have any complaints about TACTIC. It does what it advertises and more!My issues have been with the mindset of the shop floor.
Reasons for switching to Tactic
Our previous scheduling software was embedded into our ERP/MRP system and wasn't customizable to the changes we had made since its implementation many years prior.

Highly configurable and flexible scheduling software.
The Waterloo customer support team is exceptional. They're extremely personable, knowledgeable and creative. We manage a specialty food business and configured TACTIC to schedule two separate continuous manufacturing processes. The entire scheduling cycle has reduced dramatically and we can navigate around issues that previously created bottlenecks and unnecessary downtime. TACTIC is very powerful and highly configurable to meet all types of business processes and needs.
CONSThe interface can be upgraded but the underlying functionality is extremely powerful.

Effective Scheduling Software with great Customer Service
Tactic has been a solid scheduling package for our use. We have roughly 1500 orders in progress at any one time, and Tactic keeps everything flowing smoothly. The Customer Service could not be better, the Waterloo team is always happy to work thru any issues, and often goes out of their way to help find solutions to problems, if they arise.

Solid scheduling and production management software, with peerless customer service.
TACTIC helped our company streamline our scheduling procedures--specifically regarding increased visibility and organization of our daily operations.
CONSThe graphic interface and general aesthetic is somewhat lacking, but the guts are what matter here and TACTIC delivers on those fronts. The algorithms and reporting features have been heavily tested and customized, and are utilized repeatedly daily, performing with excellence and ease.

Tactic Integration for Production
Working with Waterloo and Customer support specifically has been a pleasure. The team are very helpful and provide insight and solutions far beyond the sale.
PROSThe software enables us to categorize and prioritize our production at multiple work stations within work centers based on due dates and attributes.
CONSI like the software. My main problems are internal to my organization. Too many upgrades and changes.
