GainSeeker Suite 2026: Benefits, Features & Pricing

I have nothing but good things to say about Gainseeker. It makes data collection extremely easy to get to in a short amount of time.

Yes, I know the title sounds a bit hyped. But the GainSeeker Suite from Hertzler System is really the best SPC software package that I have seen. I have worked with many packages over the years and GainSeeker Suite is hands down the easiest to use for our operators. I have never found a situation where I could not get GainSeeker to do what I wanted in terms of automated data collection, different chart styles, and even different reports. Their data entry interface is 2nd to none and provides for the most customization of any package I have seen. We have been able to customize our data entry to how our facilities operate and it works seamlessly with all of our automated tools. The canned reports and customizable reports provide all the information we need. There is also a handy feature to dump data directly into Minitab for those deep dive analyses that we do from time to time. I just converted 6 of our newly purchased facilities from 2 other SPC software packages to GainSeeker Suite and it really highlighted how poorly the other software packages operated and what they provided. The facilities quickly saw how much more powerful GainSeeker Suite is and that it is truly head and shoulders above the rest. Their customer service is as good as the software. The Technical Support team is always very helpful with little tricks and tips for me when I am unsure of how to do something. I have been using their software for over 20 and started with it back when it was DOS based. It just continues to get better year after year. I have also utilized their on-site support and their training services and they are extremely beneficial. I highly recommend them if you are just getting started into computer based SPC or converting from another SPC program. They can get you up and running quickly and efficiently. I definitely recommend Hertzler Systems and their GainSeeker Suite SPC software. If you are still unsure, put them to the test versus other packages and you'll quickly see how much better GainSeeker Suite really is. I attend several Quality Expo's and Conferences each year and take the time to look at the various SPC software packages being offered and I have never found anything that comes close to the power of GainSeeker.

Originally, we brought in Gainseeker to deal with some complex machine and measurement system feedback loops. Since then, we have expanded our usage of the software well past that so that it touches nearly every part of our business and the database serves as our main source of shop floor quality data.

I use Gainseeker every day. The programming language is clumsy, but it improved when Python was introduced to the system. The inability to change the visuals on the charting options, causes it to appear dated and clumsy. In an era of mobile phones, web graphics, etc., a clunky graphing output loses many superficial audience members (managers). You need in-house specialists to get traction with the system, which means additional resources. Once that happens, rapid deployment is possible and is only limited by your imagination and resources.

This is a great SPC and DMS system and can be adopted to just about anything. We are using this system at 14 plant and working on 1 overseas now. I took some time to learn the template language since it can be use on may different platform and languages. Also great for import other application as well to do SPC reporting and analytic . I highly recommend this software to anyone.

Very positive. Great customer service and on line assistance.

The software has unique features that are able to capture the specific data we need for our customers. The incredible staff is extremely helpful and available when we need them.

Started using Hertzler Quality software in 1990 (beginning with QA/S) and have since expanded Gainseeker to multiple manufacturing Plants and new processes over the past 25+ years.

We have been a user of Gainseeker software for over 15 years now. The folks at Hertzler systems have continually improved the software over the years, adding many new features and capabilities to the system. Their latest addition to the suite - Inspections - provides a very user-friendly interface and adds mobile capability that we have quickly taken advantage of. The addition of Python scripting has added a new level of customization capability that we have just begun to take advantage of. My only nit on the Ease of Use score is because software upgrades requires each client machine be individually upgraded, making this a somewhat time consuming task due to the number of client machines we have (over 40). Most impressive, though, is the customer service and technical support. I have made many calls to their technical support line over the years for issues ranging from error messages to licensing questions to application support. At least 80% of my inquiries are resolved within 24 hours, and often in the same calendar day. For those that have taken longer, the folks at Hertzler proactively keep me up to date on the status - I never have to contact them to figure out what is going on. I administer a couple of corporate IT systems and Hertzler is by far the best in this area.
