Pros / Cons
  • Loved being able to update a material cost and have it manifest in all the product recipes automatically to have an accurate cost of goods for each product.
  • After all the work of entering your materials inventory and product recipes, when you sell a product the software will NOT automatically deduct the materials from your inventory UNLESS you pay for a more expensive plan.

  • She helps us in every situation (even if we have to get the same training more than once).
  • There are some minor dislikes with mlean such as being able to put things in a particular order, can't see a flow chart in the approvals to know where in the process something has stopped and not having the capability to just notify someone of a visual standard submission and/or approval without giving them more abilities.
