Actco Pickering Metal Industries Pty Ltd
APMI has been a user of ITMS software since 1996. ITMS proved its worth to this company from day one.
Our mandate when we were contemplating purchasing software to run our plant was to find a manufacturing programme that enabled complex and detailed bills of materials, that enabled real time tracking of processes on the factory floor, and that let the front office know where parts and processes were in our system at all times. The ITMS system covered all our requirements and many more. We evaluated several software systems and ITMS in my opinion outranked the others in performance and value by a wide margin.
APMI introduced the software and ran ITMS and the current system concurrently from day one. It was immediately obvious that we were going to obtain a huge advantage by using ITMS. It is the perfect solution from start to finish.
APMI has had a long standing relationship with the team at ITMS and I must say their response to any requests have been attended to without delay. Service has been totally reliable and without the usual frustrations of software support.
As I have already stated it is the perfect solution for our company and I have no hesitation in recommending ITMS software to anyone contemplating a software manufacturing solution for their business.

Nordon Cylinders
Nordon Cylinders purchased iTMS software in July 2002 after extensively researching other programmes in the market place. We had previously run two other manufacturing programmes, but had out grown them.
Our mandate was to find a manufacturing programme that enabled complex and detailed bills of materials that worked live on the factory floor, which was also sales friendly and could be utilized by telephone sales staff to identify, check stock and sell product. The iTMS system covered all our requirements.
We took the time and expense to dedicate two staff members to the set up of the system for a period of 6 months, at which point we changed our whole business over to the iTMS system, it has been a decision we have never regretted.
iTMS allows us to monitor jobs on the floor live; without leaving their work station a sales person answering a question from a customer on the telephone can establish exactly what stage a job is at. The Flow of the paper work also is the flow of the job so when a process is completed there is no doubt as to what work station the job is to proceed to. It allows total traceability, as the job number that the job is booked in with follows it all the way out the door and on the customer's machine.
The scheduling module allows us to schedule work enter time and we can provide customers with an expected date for completed product and both quote and order stage. The purchasing module teamed with the scheduling module allows timed purchasing of product so that cash flow is not affected.
All the modules allow Microsoft office files to be attached to them so not only does it create a Client Relationships Management style of data base it allows you this function on purchasing and stock control as well as allowing files such as Solid Works and AutoCAD to be attached.
We have also found the flexibility and support of the team at iTMS to be superb. If we can be of assistance in any way to help you make your decision to purchase the iTMS System please feel free to contact the writer.
