DDI Inform is well-suited for flexible solutions (cloud/on-premise) and simple scenarios for distributors. It also helps to be on a relaxed timeline as support if very slow if things go wrong. It's less appropriate if you need things done now, want to go deeper into data or customization, or don't have a knowledgeable IT resource that can help you with various software quirks/deploys.

The best in the complete production process. It provides the correct info in a very usable way. It is pretty good in sales, but the lack of discounts for sales goods and sales production is not ideal. On the other hand, ECI provides an excellent service for looking for custom solutions where we need them. Dutch Translation: De beste in het complete productieproces. Het biedt de juiste informatie op een zeer bruikbare manier. Het is redelijk goed in de verkoop, maar het gebrek aan kortingen op verkoopartikelen en verkoopproductie is niet ideaal. Aan de andere kant biedt ECI een uitstekende service bij het zoeken naar maatwerkoplossingen waar we die nodig hebben. This review was originally written in English and has been translated into Dutch using a third-party translation tool. While we strive for accuracy, some nuances or meanings may not be perfectly captured.

  • Adaptions to rights in iQ can be difficult and time consuming
  • Ridder iQ is unfortunately still not webbased
  • Ridder iQ is fortunately developping api endpoints but this is still not completed.
  • The no/low code functionality can be extended
  • Ridder iQ mist grafische workflow en blokkeert ontwerper
  • Aanpassingen aan rechten in iQ kunnen moeilijk en tijdrovend zijn
  • Ridder iQ is helaas nog steeds niet webgebaseerd
  • Ridder iQ is gelukkig bezig met de ontwikkeling van API-eindpunten, maar deze zijn nog niet afgerond.

Its nice software but it is very, very slow in webification and integration possibilities by using api's. Untill now the programm has client-server technology unfortunately. And there are far too less no code adjustments possible.

It gets the job done most of the time. Customization and support bring the score down

The working environment can be perfectly designed for every user and department, which makes the user-friendliness very good. Adding columns, formatting tables can all be customized to the user. Dutch Translation: De werkomgeving is perfect in te richten voor elke gebruiker en afdeling, wat de gebruiksvriendelijkheid zeer hoog maakt. Het toevoegen van kolommen en het opmaken van tabellen is allemaal aanpasbaar aan de gebruiker.

Ridder iQ is specialized for our business and has people who bring a lot of knowledge to the table, so Ridder iQ is far more suited than a ERP solution which is not specilized in the make-industry. Furthermore, the customizability of Ridder stands out compared to solutions like ISAH. Therefore, the choice was an easy one, because knowledge and customizability are important criteria. Dutch Translation: Ridder iQ is gespecialiseerd in onze branche en heeft mensen met veel kennis in huis. Ridder iQ is daarom veel geschikter dan een ERP-oplossing, die niet gespecialiseerd is in de maakindustrie. Bovendien onderscheidt Ridder iQ zich qua aanpasbaarheid ten opzichte van oplossingen zoals ISAH. De keuze was dan ook snel gemaakt, want kennis en aanpasbaarheid zijn belangrijke criteria.

  • The implementation process is well managed by Ridder iQ employees.
  • After going live, our main processes were just slightly affected, no significant delays occurred.
  • Het implementatieproces wordt goed begeleid door de medewerkers van Ridder iQ.
  • Nadat we live gingen, ondervonden onze belangrijkste processen slechts lichte hinder; er deden zich geen noemenswaardige vertragingen voor.
