Tricorn Production

A massive reduction in time spent preparing documents, also less errors as the system pulls everything trough from quote to invoice.

PROS

I like the system as it takes a lot of time out of preparing documents for every job. You can set template and within a few click you have all paperwork required with minimal time and effort. I also like that everyone in the office can log in and see or use the soft wear.

CONS

There are a few settings in place that wont let you continue with functions until you have done a 'tick box' exercise. This is frustrating in the beginning but you easily get used to it in time.

Tricorn

I was sceptical of the 'Fit Factory family' sales pitch , I was completely wrong. You join a family when you buy Tricorn, everyone at Fit Factory is invested in getting the system up and running and benefiting your business with the least impact to your business . Everyone has a can do attitude from Sales , Implementation , Support , Development , Programming , The M.D , everyone is there to help and wants to help.

PROS

The ability to import data from the current system into Tricorn and get up and running over a weekend was a gamechanger. It allowed us to start with the new system and have all of the data from the old system on Tricorn. The reporting is first class and the support is class leading.

CONS

The live reporting dashboard cannot pop out and run on a separate screen.

Reason for choosing Fitfactory Tricorn MRP

The live dashboard and reporting is class leading , it is comparable to Oracle , SAP and Epicor without the eyewatering costs . It beats other packages like E-Max , Unity , 123 Insight , Redthorn and Factory Master in my opinion.

Reasons for switching to Fitfactory Tricorn MRP

Prefer not to answer.

TRICORN:Production Review

In general did what we needed it to do but as we are now growing and wishing to use the system to enhance our production at the moment there is too much manual intervention required. Find the support team very helpful when then can actually assist when it isn't a query regarding development of the whole system

PROS

Aids our need for traceability Hyperlinks effective addition to latest version for ease of navigation from one table to another

CONS

constrained to standard data base layout - no ability to add additional fields or dropdowns inflexible in some areas and slow to incorporate changes to standard data base don't always get told about the latest release - therefore quite often running on low issue release.

A complete all round package

We have been using this system since 2007 and it must be said that it is a very well thought out piece of software and it has been continually refined and developed since then. If your business is manufacturing and you need control over your operations from quote stage to invoicing then look no further. Any issues that we have experienced have been dealt with swiftly and efficiently by the support team and regular updates have been implemented without issue.

PROS

One of the key aspects of this software is the ease of use, navigating your way through from quote to works order (and subsequently delivery notes and invoices) then through to purchasing, parts and materials and even sub contracting/tooling is all easily achieved by the little green arrows that provide links to each module. The system is therefore quite intuitive to use and training of new users can be carried out in a matter of hours.

CONS

There are a number of add on software packages that can be purchased separately, e.g. Financial, Scheduler and Dashboard, in order to enhance the capabilities of the software and these are rather expensive. It should be said that these are not necessary for the software to make a difference to your operations but they will certainly help.

Tricorn:Production runs manufacturing process from start to finish.

Tricorn were brought in to take a hand written process, and automate it for better results. This is what was asked for, and Tricorn delivered all and some. I can't imagine going back now, and look forward to learning more from Tricorn's development of their Software.

PROS

A single data entry of a Customer's part, turned into multiple uses due to Tricorn. This has enabled us to develop an in depth profile, of all the important parts we manufacture. Traceability of materials and Sub-contract processes are of a great benefit. Emailing strait from Tricorn our quotes, orders and invoices saves so much time.

CONS

Over +15 years of having Tricorn:Production, the only minor cons have been addressed with updates. Tricorn has developed so much in that time, and we've grown along with it.

Backbone of The Business

PROS

Tricorn has been the backbone of our company for the last 15 years, our entire production and quality systems are built around it and it works perfectly. As a small business we have many problems to deal with day to day but Tricorn doesn't let us down. whenever we have a question the support staff are extremely friendly and knowledgeable, the person who answers the phone will be the person who can answer your question.

CONS

Recent updates have solved all of the issues we had with the early releases of the software, the software is now a slick & professional product.

Great addition for our team

Quoting has been improved as a 10off can de altered to a 1000off in seconds and a new quote produced delivery notes /invoices etc are all so easy an have full traceability as well has been very good

PROS

its easy to use and has proved to be not only a great quoting tool but also a very good management tool for keeping abreast of trends i.e. machine loading etc allowing us to look for extra work on machines that are under capacity. When it comes to delivery's invoices and c of c's it couldn't be easier

CONS

The search facility could be improved and I am sure as the upgrades come along it will be

Excellent value for money!

PROS

Tricorn is a very easy to navigate product with many options to enhance your administrative and production workflow. I have found it to be an extremely useful platform with regular updates to suit business requirements. The customer service has been exceptional and any queries have been solved instantly meaning production can continue to flow as it should, we have also asked for solutions and additional updates that have been tailored to our specific needs.

CONS

The only downfall to this software understandably is the need for help desk support when editing forms as small mistakes can cause large problems if you are not well versed in the editing side of this software.

PROS

The functionality of the software is very in depth gives great scope for doing all functions of resource and production planning.

CONS

The downside to the system is the ability to track reworks or rejects.

Easy to navigate

We have used Tricorn Production for a number of years and the latest improvements have reduced the time we spend searching and navigating the system.

PROS

The system is easily navigable and provides clear & useful traceability through the lifecycle. The green arrow links are particularly useful.

CONS

Sometimes, trend data is difficult to establish but think this is more to do with how the organisation uses the system rather than the system itself.

Tricorn - Well round, easy to use MRP system

Tricorn has other benefits we have not fully realised Sop Floor Data Capture (SFDC) and Works Scheduler - these will bring big differences to us or any company. The flexibility of the system and availability of the support team enable us to be more pro-active and improve on what we are already doing today.

PROS

It is very easy to use, setup customers and suppliers, creating MRP works orders with stock, material and integrating into the factory simple to setup. Dashboard reporting really helps visibility of movements and setup of quick access to data.

CONS

The software could do with a better Finance suite and stock control, the dashboard reports can fill the gaps and some auditing. It would be nice to custom build our own dashboards or reports

Tricorn Software 2018

PROS

The software is easy to use and has cut down on manual input duplication. When doing our end of month stocktake all the costs for materials are at the click of a button. All material certs are easy to retrieve for customers who require full release certification. A massive saving on time and paperwork.

CONS

Like all software, you need to put time in at the beginning on training and inputting but the rewards are clear to see in a very short time 3 months and the benefit was plain to see.

We have definitely become more profitable. As a subcontract engineer, we are now able to ensure that the work that we do is at a reasonable hourly rate. If any job takes longer that we would like, then we are able to immediately identify this and do something about it

PROS

Once you're used to the foybles, ways and means, the system is comprehensive, superb for accountability and repeat work

CONS

time consuming in inputting new works orders. In experienced administrative staff members cannot (in our case) take over from sales staff and input new sales orders.
