Tensoft Semi OP's

Overall experience has been excellent, I am relatively new to Tensoft but the SemiOps module is very easy to use and pick up. The support team at Tensoft have been great, very reactive to report updates and training. Cannot recommend enough.

Pros

Product is very easy to use, set up specifically for the fabless semiconductor industry. Particularly like the production release process which is very straightforward and key to maintaining inventory data integrity. The various inventory and summary reports are very useful and contain all the information needed to analyze and review status. We are a new start up so integration was very straightforward with a blank canvas to work from.

Cons

At the moment, I have not come across any gaps in requirements. I am looking forward to with interest using the master scheduling and standard cost modelling to see if this is as efficient as it looks.

Fabulous for Fabless!

Tensoft makes managing the fabless supply chain easy and the power of it's genealogy tracking feature is amazing - finding out when, where and how something was manufactured months or years after it was produced is a great ability.

Pros

The fact that Tensoft is designed from the ground up for the fabless semiconductor supply chain should not be underestimated - this software just works out of the box for planning and managing a fabless semi supply chain. Integration with Business Central is seamless and the variance analysis module is a complete revelation for someone who previously spent days trying to understand where his variances were coming from!

Cons

The one area that I felt was lacking was the UI - it looks a bit dated but I know they are working on a new look.

TENSOFT FSM is an excellent software - INVECAS

INVECAS has been using Tensoft tools (SemiOps and DemandOps) for about 2+ years and running. The tool is cost-efficient and provides good visibility into order status, lot tracking and its supply-chain processes. Ease of use and ability to track the data details by customer lot, vendor lot, date codes and monitor movement of lots and help to track up-to-date information on Inventory levels.

Pros

One thing which is good and unique that makes Tensoft far better than any other ERP is that it matches the customer PO and Invoice data with a specific related lot number, this feature lack in many of the ERP providers in market today. This is essential to track and analyze failures and quality of shipments. Also, the month wise cost computing function helps all financial to view and close the transactions for a particular period and match with the vendor bills.

Cons

There are no cons in using this software. One suggestion to the development team is that to create a summarized dashboard that shows all the processes at one place (example like: How many production orders are running per product? How many orders at FAB, SORT, ASSEMBLY, TEST and PACK stages? A notification showing the scheduled orders per month and a notification alert to user if committed date has passed or running in delays. These are additional features that we wish to see in Tensoft.

Tensoft Semi Ops review for fabless semiconductor manufacturing

Pros

Designed specifically for fabless semiconductor manufacturing so it handles wafer to die conversion, costing, and lot genealogy. Transactions are streamlined and vendors can be integrated so it can be run with a relatively small team.

Cons

The user interface is a little outdated and some terminology used in the software is confusing.

Perfect for the small, fast growing IC operations organization

For a small operations group this tool is perfect for managing all aspects of the supply chain.

Pros

Reports were easy to customize and generate. Scheduling tool was simple and intuitive. Work Order release process was easy to establish.

Cons

Tying inventory to demand was not there yet.
