Pros:

It's easy to use, it also makes it simple to create and store documents. Master Controls customer support is also quick and reliable.

Cons:

It takes awhile to train everyone on how to use it correctly, the search feature could also be better, if you don't know the exact document number or title of the document you are searching for it can be hard to locate.

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

Mx immediately replaces paper in the manufacturing process. It was relatively easy to set up. We immediately saw reduction in documentation errors, because operators were no longer documenting on paper. We also are now able to track several different features that we were not able to on paper. Mx comes out with important updates and additional features every quarter.

Cons:

There still are some limitations that ideally would be updated in the future. However, I will say that since we began using Mx 2 years ago, several new features and updates have come on.

Reasons for choosing MasterControl Manufacturing Excellence

MasterControl seemed to be better established for long term success. It also integrated with our already on board MasterControl Quality system which was huge.

Mx streamlining

Great experience and user adoption to the module was one of the easiest we have had! The operators love using Mx and dread when there is early phase work that pushes them back to paper processes.

Pros:

Here’s a version tailored for executives, emphasizing strategic value and business impact: "The Builder tool eliminates resource constraints and empowers your organization to implement a scalable, flexible electronic batch record (EBR) solution—accelerating digital transformation and driving operational agility." Would you like to include metrics, ROI language, or industry benchmarks to make it even more compelling for leadership audiences?

Cons:

I wish we could move faster with implementation but that’s more of a us problem. I would like to see a boot camp style kickoff.

Implementing electronic batch records helped us to streamline our processes and minimize operator errors. It also shortened our record review time considerably.

Functionality

Pros:

The user interface is code free to build master templates (batch records). Users get instant feedback when tolerances are exceeded. When customer support is needed, they use a good priority system to resolve problems in a timely manner. Many items were solved the same day.

Cons:

We benefited greatly from a 120-day go live map from kickoff to implementation. Do not try to implement by yourself. Use subject matter experts to help configure the first couple records so your team can see how to build for success.
