Not a 10, because now SAP is owner, there remains uncertainty on the development and pricing strategy. we struggle a bit with defining thr complex architecture of our non-sap ERP platform, but we learn as we go.
Very interesting also to start up interfaces, seems to work very well and helpfull in maintaining the proper insights

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.

Return on Investment

  • 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.
