Read full review Return on Investment We needed AspenOne Supply Chain Management quickly back in 2013 since our biggest pain point was tracking movement of products and ability for multiple departments and locations to access the information to complete their responsibilities within the organization. Was able to successfully implement in three quarters for go-live. Since our initiation implementation our two major version upgrades did not go as smooth as we would like causing downtime of user access and the system does not have flexibility to run previous version while upgrading to new version. Upgrade path needs to improve to minimize downtime. The business reported quick ROI of better than expected results and the software paid for itself in under three years which beats projection. Centralized implementation makes disaster recovery (DR) configuration easier to manage.

Procurement activities were never on the critical path and were accomplished with less Supply Chain resources than originally planned. In the process we created a huge database of Vendors and Pricing which well be beneficial in our future projects. It is an excellent tool and just what are business required and could afford.
