Praveen B.

“We came from a paper pick process and were a bit nervous about our team’s ability to transition, but the software is very intuitive and everyone has caught on quickly. While the software is very easy-to-use, you can still dig in and digest all of the detail and raw data, which has been a big value driver for our management team as well. We are also just getting our feet wet with the open API and plan to further optimize our processes and reporting. All in all, we’ve been blown away with all of the functionality.”
