Great product

I can honestly say this has been and still is my favourite programme to go to for anything as it holds almost every information you need on daily basis and the ease of scheduling is great!

Pros

After using Orchestrate for around 8 years or more I am very satisfied with the way it works. It simplifies a lot of processes every day and gives the flexibility needed in FMCG industry. It integrates well with other programmes and support during upgrade and throughout all 8 years has always been great!

Cons

Some older options have been taken away from the newer version and I really wish they stayed or at least that users have an option of choosing whether they want to us them or not. Not a big issue but it would have been a nice bonus

Great tool for detailed scheduling

We are using Orchestrate for detailed scheduling, where operators find information on ongoing and coming tasks and report back, when tasks have finished. Orchestrate compiles views of where the different teams are according to current plan. Plan is visible for all groups in the facility.

Pros

Database runs seamless on a local server and never fails. Fairly easy implementation. Works so great with Excel on masterdata analysis and load of planning data. The feature that You can report back on all previous steps at any selected op step in a process works so great. Very predictable. Support is reachable and fast.

Cons

N/A. Can't think of anything. We have had very few difficulties with orchestrate.

Great Value for Money

Our implementation is more complex than most, in terms of work order volume, vertically integrated deep BOM's, and different planners at each BOM level. Support over the years has been excellent.

Pros

Multi-User Support, Visual Finite Scheduling of Complex, Multi-Level BOM's.

Cons

Integration and performance challenges with large, complex data sets from our ERP system.
