## Reviews

### "Easy to create and read work instructions" — 5.0/5

> **Jonathan** | *19 April 2018*
> 
> **Pros**: Easy to create an audit form and quality check list;&#10;Can create work instructions for a tablet&#10;Save automatically every modification;
> 
> **Cons**: The translation is working with Google translation so I need to review it. This helps to speed up the creation process but it is good to double check.

### "Very helpful from continuous improvement point of view." — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *19 April 2018* | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: - Having traceability on our processes (Work instructions, time, quality, serialization.&#10;-Helping to prioritize continuous improvement initiatives.&#10;-Very easy to use
> 
> **Cons**: -To undo a non-conformance you need to issue a non-conformance resolution. This takes a bit more time as a result but provides a higher level of traceability and accuracy in information.
> 
> Productivity, standarsation, serialisation, work instruction, user friendly.

### "Not as good as expected from the company" — 1.0/5

> **Anthony** | *18 April 2018* | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Pretty much user friendly, easy to build instructions for the operators and also easy to learn how to use it.
> 
> **Cons**: Lots of mistakes about the french translation, specially when we're trying to close a work order. Also impossible to set up manually an affected quantity to 1 unit. It's also impossible to cancel a non-conformity report in case of a mistake, impossible to go back during production. Lot of things that makes VKS hard to use for the operators during production.

### "Most complete tool for Work Instructions" — 4.0/5

> **Francesco** | *20 March 2020* | Management Consulting | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like most of all the completeness of functionalities of the platform.&#10;It is suitable both for simple scenarios, when just the generation of work instructions is requested, both for more complex companies where is requested interactions with operators or machines.
> 
> **Cons**: What I think is missing is an app for spartphone to simplify the capture and saving of pictures, to put them in the instructions.
> 
> Very good customer service and availability of their staff.&#10;Implementations with customers went always very smoothly, and this is value both for us and for them.
