Easy to create a workflow for several operations > > **Cons**: Missing a order planning module, so a detailed scheduling could be done inside PicoMES after import of orders > > Low code makes it easy for training for colleagues. I haven´t tried it but I expect that a delay will be experienced with Cloud module ----- ### "Great Product, Great Price\!" — 5.0/5 > **Bryce** | *17 February 2025* | Farming | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Pico has been a great tool so far. The main benefits I've found are, digital access on shop floor via tablets, accurate time tracking for builds, serial number input for tracking progress across long-term projects, consistent formatting and simplicity in instructions, and PDF export with a full BOM list that is used to triple check our system, and Solidworks. It's been a great add on to the way we operate, and it's free\! > > **Cons**: So far I haven't found anything I don't like. It would be nice if the annotations would show up on the PDF output. > > Pico MES has been a great addition to the quality of our units. ----- ### "Pico MES Review" — 4.0/5 > **George** | *6 December 2024* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I liked the tool library that is built with the help of all companies using Pico MES. I also liked the quick response time from the support team, able to attend calls and formal meetings that align with our schedule. > > **Cons**: I did not enjoy the process of setting up firewall access and figuring out which ports to provide access to. I also did not enjoy the inability to download data from all variants, as I would need to download the excel file from each variant and tediously compile them into one excel file. > > My trial of Pico MES has overall been very informative and encouraging to see the abilities that Pico can provide for our company. Each station was generally not difficult to set up, and once the stations were set up, I did not have to do much to maintain them. ----- ### "Blink Charging Co" — 5.0/5 > **Matt** | *19 November 2024* | Utilities | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Overall single cost to deploy across multiple sites with dozens of users, and ease of setup and deploying. > > **Cons**: Was not linkable to NetSuite out of the box. An additional cost and setup are involved. Our D suite wasn't ready to fund the addition. > > The learning curve was rather rapid. We setup up several products quickly and had ease to edit 'on-the-fly' and immediately release the updates. We reduced redundant data capturing from our previous process methods and software tools. ----- ### "World Class Product" — 4.0/5 > **Gabe** | *6 December 2023* | Airlines/Aviation | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love the user interface. I also love how easy it is to connect 3rd party smart tools. The change control feature makes it easy for me to oversee and track changes across the team. > > **Cons**: The rollout time for some of the customizations/new features they committed to were much longer than expected. While they still followed through (and the features are great:), the lead time could have been more accurate. The traceability feature could be cleaned up -- you have to dig to find the information you need in lower-level processes that are consumed. The lagging on the operator build screen is also annoying. > > I am more than pleased with PICO MES. The team has impressed me with their responsiveness/support and commitment to tailoring the product to better meet customer needs. They few problems we've had with PICO have all been either addressed or fixed. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/394158/pico-mes?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/394158/pico-mes) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
