## Reviews

### "1factory is a great tool to help aide manufacturing amd process control" — 5.0/5

> **Brad** | *28 February 2023* | Plastics | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Pros of 1factory include ease of use, intuitiveness, visual tools specifically with the SPC-related modules, and automation of gage tracking and CAPA
> 
> **Cons**: In some situations we'd hope for additional functionality of the software but in many of these instances, we're able to work with the 1factory development team to build in improvements for future software releases.

### "Great Quality Management Software" — 5.0/5

> **Harrison** | *22 December 2022* | Aviation & Aerospace | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I have yet to see another software that comes close to the accuracy of the OCR when ballooning prints. The customer service is unparalleled. The 1Factory team demonstrates a willingness to actually listen to their customers, provide feedback, and they're dedicated to continuous improvement. It is very refreshing to finally deal with a software company that genuinely cares about their customers.
> 
> **Cons**: I do not have many complaints about this software. The only issue is the monumental task of changing all of our previous jobs/parts over to the new layout. Our company tends to do things a little differently and more complicated. Nonetheless, the extra time up front is proving to be worth the extra effort.
> 
> Overall, I am very happy the implementation of the 1Factory software. Our operators love the ease of use, and the fact that they no longer have to transfer CMM data by hand. I only wish our customers would also make the switch from the current data collection service that we are forced to use.

### "Make your control plans live and breath" — 5.0/5

> **Anthony** | *27 November 2019* | Semiconductors | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Extremely intuitive to use, which results in fast training of internal and external users and quick adoption of the tool.  &#10;&#10;No matter how powerful a tool may be, if it's hard to use or implement, then it fails to get used.  1Factory is elegantly simple.
> 
> **Cons**: Overall we find very little cons with the software.  There is a lack of customization which can be frustrating to some team members, but when we do find areas that really need improvement (meaning better suited to our needs) the 1Factory team is quick to discuss our challenges and provide solutions.
> 
> Overall we have a very positive experience with the tool which directly ties into the ease of use.  The highest benefit is derived from the heavy integration with the supplier to develop a meaningful control plan that both the customer and supplier will monitor with real data.   This brings life to control plans that we otherwise find to be 'dusty'&#10;&#10;We have had success using data from 1Factory to drive process improvement with the supplier, and we see this as a key advantage to proactively manage our high risk parts and suppliers with more rigor.  &#10;&#10;1Factory is now a key tool in our supplier quality arsenal to manage risk in our supply base.

### "Excellent system used for inspection and quality system information" — 5.0/5

> **Matthew** | *2 March 2022* | Medical Devices | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Cloud based and easy to implement.  We were able to roll this software out section by section, as needed.  All teams have access to amazing information on material and device quality.  It's excellent for tracking exceptions.
> 
> **Cons**: I would love for there to be signatures that adhere to FDA Part 11, but that hasn't slowed us down at all.
> 
> Overall, I've had a fantastic working experience with 1factory and with the team.  I've used this at two companies now and will take it with me wherever I go in the future.

### "Adds visibility and helps us drive positive change" — 5.0/5

> **Randall** | *25 August 2016* | Consumer Goods | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It's easy to use\!&#13;&#10;I've had some experience with other programs, and they have a ton of functionality but are usually way too much and convoluted to use (inputting information takes too many steps and therefore falls to the wayside). &#13;&#10;1 Factory is a different story; it's very straightforward.&#13;&#10;Cost\!
> 
> **Cons**: -\&gt; As of today, there ARE NO CONS. &#13;&#10;When we first started with it, it wasn't quite there for what we needed.  That was QUICKLY remedied by Nipun and his staff.  They're still hard at work adding more and more functionality and addressing all of our needs. I'm quite surprised by the level of attention, detail, and customer support.
> 
> We are a medium sized Aerospace manufacturing machine shop and in need of SPC capabilities. The cost and ease of use brought us in, the customer support and added functionality (to OUR needs) has really cemented us with 1 Factory.&#13;&#10;Although we started with great interest in the SPC functionality, our needs very quickly re-focused to the QUALITY aspects of 1 Factory. The functionality wasn't quite there when we first started but Nipun and his staff are QUICK to implement changes and modify multiple aspects to our specific needs. We're doing things we've NEVER done before because of the ease of use and straightforward interface. &#13;&#10;We've been able to add so much visibility to our quality functions that we're moving in a positive direction with a lot of purpose, driven by the data; it's great.&#13;&#10;We have plenty of other improvements to be made to our company and Nipun is there ready to help us achieve them.
