Failure in complex parts, need to check the logics manually.

The software helps you understand the cost drivers for your particular part so when you send your design out for quoting you can tell if the bids are the best or if further refinement is needed.

The ability to understand true cost for any negotiation is a plus.

Also the integration of software with the existing modeling tool is quite useful and easy to fetch the results for appropriate data.

So far very good and the tech mentoring for our company has been great.

A great tool for Purchasing to understand the details of cost breakdown and negotiate with suppliers on arguable parameters.

We have accomplished some successful cases with products ending in cost reduction negotiation. It is primordial to work together in order to get beneficial results.

The tool sometimes takes longer time to cost a component, lags while connecting to server. This will get worse as the complexity increases.

It struggles with parts containing tight GD&T. And when upgrading to a new version, it is a challenge to get up and running quickly.

There are sometimes editing features that can be a little difficult to access, if they are not used frequently.

This is a great tool for costing parts and tools. Great integration with other CAD tools.

Cost avoidance and estimation. DFMA reports very useful for Purchasing for their negotiations.

APriori has proven to be a very powerful tool with a lot of potential going forward. The support teams have generally been very helpful.

Like i said, it helped up to redure our quote time and it have improved our cost reduction skills.

I really like to customization capability. Someone without a programming background can easily edit and build their own cost models.

Problems when selecting welding joints. Problem to understand the formulas and calculations for the cost structures.

It's easy to use, easy to understand the processes and easy to make changes in a  great diversity of commodities.

Overall experience with apriori is very good, its very advanced costing tool and every-time whenever i go through their helping doc.

Good & Useful but still there is a scope for development.

It is also very helpful to distinguish between cycle time and setup time as this helps to highlight part volume as a cost driver.

There can be problems when extracting the tolerances, which means it has to be done manually.

Definitely it is user friendly if basic training is given to the user to utilize the available options with appropriate instruction.

I like how aPriori is easy to use and the interface is friendly.

DFMA on Extrusion process for some complex geometries is limited.

Very good for simple production processes. More complex production process under evaluation.

Good customization of values. Good auto identifying GCDs.

They have a very talented workforce and the Customer Support is EXCELLENT.

Overall, aPriori would be a great tool for any industry that is looking to excel in industry with right evaluated approach and good understanding of Cost of the product.

A great tool to create the collaboration and transparency between the supplier and  sourcing  to build Robust Supplier relationships.

Also CAD geometry identification is great feature that allows Engineering with limited knowledge of Costing, evaluate the part cost based on design features with good confidence level.

I like the ability to modify details the VPEs and processes to more accurately model unique processes and specific features of complex parts.

Good for accurate calculate, possibility to customize, mass data handling, easy to export, import.

It's great tool we almost now able to do more costing projects which is not earlier by using excel based costing ,great for making supplier based VPE it is saved lot time for quoting.

APriori is a very robust software and capable of intensive customization. It has been relatively easy for me to adjust processes or create new ones based on site requirements.

When discussing parts with engineering and with suppliers, it is incredibly useful to be able to drill down to specific operations and have discussions around tangible times and costs.

I love that this software is super simple. Ve been through the training and every step is pretty self-explanatory.

The ease of the software is great. Customer service is extremely helpful.

We've been doing business with True Commerce for over 15 years now and we've been very happy with them.

I've had the pleasure of working with representative. He is absolutely the BEST.

When it does not work, it is horrible to figure out why, and how to fix it.

I recommend EDI solutions to my clients. I love the fact that TrueCommerce is extremely involved from the sales cycle to the implementation process.

Simplicity, Reasonable Cost, Good technical support.

Integrates with my ERP smoothly. Support is excellent, very fast courteous and knowledgeable.

I like the old version best, it has a lot of great features and ease of use.

There's a great deal of consistency in this product and in the company which is gravely important when dealing with a plethora of trading partners with diverse requirements.

The cost over our previous provider is fantastic.

Still generates the occasional errors and no warning given.

It stands alone and does not integrate into our accounting package.

I love that this software is super simple. I've been through the training and every step is pretty self-explanatory.

Overall, the experience has been great. Good customer service, nice company and the product works.

Great Software that was quickly Integrated into our System.

We are about to migrate to a new ERP solution and I have had discussions with TrueCommerce and their integration with the new ERP solution will make EDI even easier for our daily processes.

I really like the functionality and ease of use. The platform is easy to understand and navigate, and on-boarding was relatively quick and painless.

Very great and the Technical support has been very helpful. Rep helps walk you thru any question you have about the program.

The simplicity of it is great. And when you have customer service, it’s amaizng.

So many functions should be automatic, the new system Foundry proved to be worse than the last version. So many clicks until you arrive what you actually need.

Once they were purchased by HighJump, their customer service suffered. We had a lot of problems with getting support quickly when we had issues.

The only feature I don't like is that the delete and save buttons are next to each other. I've accidentally hit the wrong one when in a hurry and deleted what I had entered.

The best are the helpful and very knowledgeable employees that answer questions and help navigate you through the software application.

It's deeply appreciated and I thank you all again for the help I have received in the past.

I like that you purchase the partner plug-in and never pay again for any updates made by said partner. Also, the ability to integrate with SAP.

I personally think this software is super convenient and user friendly. Support has been great as well.

Very easy to navigate, useful for all types of businesses. The features and functionality of this software is top quality and great valve for your money.

TrueCommerce EDI Solutions with Sage 100 is a wonderful product that I would recommend to anyone and everyone.

The ease and simplicity on this software is great even for someone who may not work well with computers. The software works seamlessly.

Confusing and difficult implementation process.

Easy to use the software and great customer service if you need help.
