Reliable System, Highly expandable and Robost
Comments: We have used BM for almost 10 years, most of the issues we have has with the software, were user errors. The numbers in the system are unquestionable and reliable, we have a lot of faith in the system. and the support is often quick to address our problems.
Pros:
All in One Software, SAP is rock Solid, reliable and well respected. BatchMaster running on SAP is can be customized to anything we require although out of the box it's good enough for us.
Cons:
the SDS module built in Module is VERY cumbersome and need a COMPLETE over haul, it's slow it's tedious and often causes problems as the entire design of the module is archaic and needs vast improvement. It should not be using WORD.DOT and it should not accumulate in size when making more than one as the resources required can crash the computer. I know there are addon SDS modules but they can be expensive and also require a lot of time to set up. If this were streamlined I would have given the system a 5/5.

Controller
Comments: It has been very beneficial for keeping track of inventory, including labor & overhead costs & valuating on hand items. The dashboards are usually helpful but often times I have a problem reconciling transactions.
Pros:
It interfaces with our accounting software. Issuing support tickets is easy & most of the time are addressed promptly.
Cons:
Ease of use/learning different features. And some features such as using warehouse location, row, aisle, bin & rack are not capable of using to setup a warehouse and assign specific areas to locate items. We had to pay additional $ for them to manipulate the program & hopefully it will work.

Great Value
Comments: Overall our experience has been positive. We had a very difficult and complex use case that BatchMaster was able to support for us through implementation. We required several complex/unique customizations that BatchMaster was able to perform.
Pros:
Traceability of lots/raw materials is a breeze, you can track down every single unit of a given product in moments.
Cons:
Sometimes the wording used in small specific menus can be a little misleading. Using synonyms for words that native English speakers might call something else.

BatchMaster Review
Comments: The BatchMaster team is professional, attentive to our needs, and responds promptly and positively.
Pros:
BatchMaster listens to our business needs and then they implement their solution accordingly.
Cons:
The system works great. The only thing I would recommend is to have their support team push back when the client asks for customizations and discourage and encourage them to try the out of the box solution first

Batchmaster
Comments: Overall a very good experience and they are a pleasure to work with.
Pros:
Batchmaster can be the full system used across a full company.
Cons:
The customer support team is very active but some issues can take some time to be fixed
BatchMaster gets easier!
Comments: Using batchmaster overall has been a positive experience. It calculates all the ingredients properly and very seldom makes mistakes on batch quantity.
Pros:
The pros about the software is that mistakes are caught early on in the process. If a mistake is made you are more than likely to find it during the initial process.
Cons:
Learning the software is difficult and not user friendly. The layout of the modules are not as easy as I would like them to be. Understanding each module and it’s fuctions does take time.
Absolute dream for any pharma company
Pros:
This is the best hand down for any pharmaceutical manufaturing business. Amazingly easy to use, will streamline your biz while keeping you in line with FDA reg's. This has it all, does not matter if you do your own med's or no this will help you with your: R&D, product development, production, quality, inventory, FDA traceability, FDA compliance, scheduling, and warehousing.
Cons:
When it comes to getting it right.. There is nothing missing here. Made for larger pharm corps. but all in all this is the best thing to have for your pharma buniness.
Great Software! Especially for formulation!
Pros:
Very easy to use and the integration between our financial software and the manufacturing software work great.
Cons:
Sometimes, the programming can be a little bit clunky, but it is not too bad at its worst. There are a lot worse software systems out there.
Batchmaster Is a Big Help to our Company
Pros:
I think Batchmaster is a great, easy to use ERP system. Their customer support team seems to be very knowledgeable and they are very quick to respond when you are having issues or need a quick tip. The best part is the user friendly interface, it doesn't take much practice before you start feeling like you really know your way around the system.
Cons:
It's hard to say. I think it would be nice if there was the ability to interface with more than one financial database. We have company's in the US and Canada so we have to use different versions of financial software but we cannot interface both with the same instance of Batchmaster. Whether this is something Batchmaster can change or not I'm not sure, maybe we need to look at different finance software options.
Multifunction software
Pros:
Its a exhaustive package of manufacturing. This software having many uses. It can able to analyse inventory, production, formulation, billing, QC, cost of production and planning etc. It helps to bring the manufacturing product into end to end customer. As like named it is a master software application.
Cons:
It is a Specific solution software application. Little learning is needed to use this software and easy when it get practiced.tiny expensive app.
