    Our organization had evaluated it for sometime, but it was on the higher side for the budget we had. Many of our departments used it for a while, even after the initial demo session many users from different departments had raised IT assistance requests. Keeping in mind these factors at hand we started exploring alternatives.

    Blueworks Live was part of a project deal. We did not keep it after the project. We found there are many solutions offering similar or superior capabilities - the fact that Blueworks does not fully support the universal BPMN standard was a big letdown for us. The pricing also did not make sense as a standalone solution.

    • It has helped us reduce miscommunication between our departments, such as production, inventory, and shipping, thus reducing delays.
    • Now, most things are automated; we can quickly know when a product will be in low stock.
    • With the help of custom charts, we are easily able to determine our best-selling product of the month and week, which helps us market according to stats.
