## Reviews

### "Amazing software since upgrading from paper files" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *16 April 2018* | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: All of the tracking features are amazing\! From cost, to maintenance history, to repairs, this software makes it very easy rather than our old paper system.
> 
> **Cons**: The overall performance could be upgraded but from what I have been told, this is currently in the works.

### "New to Emdecs" — 5.0/5

> **Michael** | *11 September 2023* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The features that benefit us the most are the PM and work order related activities and then the reporting on the backside. We are currently integrating with Spireon and once complete this will be a big benefit in mileage documentation and retention for tax reporting.
> 
> **Cons**: The cost of the software is expensive but we believed that because of all the features and being customizable it will benefit us within our current workforce. We have a very diverse workforce and the software is able to meet our needs for our employees.
> 
> Once getting to know my sales person \[sensitive content hidden\] this transition has been as smooth as anyone could ask. From information gathering to implementation it has been a pleasure to work with him. He was very committed to Emdecs and it being a solution for us during the initial conversations and now even after 6 months of use we still communicate regularly. I would not only consider \[sensitive content hidden\] a business partner but also friend. Currently while still learning and trying to adjust our needs \[sensitive content hidden\]
 has been another person that has helped us immensely. He has been there for us during implementation and continues to be there for us daily. The overall experience has been exceptional because of the people in my opinion, keep doing it right and Thank you\!

### "Emdecs review" — 3.0/5

> **Nancy** | *27 October 2023* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The service board, time sheet for mechanics, and complete RO are what we use most and work awesome for us.
> 
> **Cons**: PartsWe still have troubles with printing of labels .  There are so many tabs to go into  when pulling up a part number. It was so much easier and user friendly with the old system,  Connect. Receiving parts, doing physical counts, printing labels,  and adjusting inventory are still done in the old system.
> 
> We began with the old system, Paccar Connect, back in  2005. In 2020 we were switched over to this system.   It was very rough for a few years with not much knowledge from your team and turn around with employees  as far as getting our troubles and questions answered.  We find it easier and faster to still use the old system for our parts department. We still use the old system for  re-ordering parts and  labeling. Customer service has greatly improved over the last year which we appreciate.

### "As below" — 5.0/5

> **lee** | *24 August 2023* | Food Production | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Overall a great fleet management app. Main purpose for me is vehicle history of repairs, parts, dates etc....available at your finger tips. Works well with our requirements for DVSA ER, however, i do believe we are the only ER operator who uses Emdecs, it does make me wonder why? I have never looked at other products available but i have had no reason too. You work with the tools you have and more than happy to continue with Emdecs. Support team are very responsive and helpful when needed which is very key.
> 
> **Cons**: Emdecs are an DVSA ER approved service. Attention to Driver reporting defects is much needed going forward with ER KPIs (M4) Unable to use this function comfortably on our Drivers PDAs.
> 
> Overall history of vehicle, breaking down costs to share with SLT to help understand fleet renewal

### "emdecs review" — 4.0/5

> **Diane** | *17 October 2023* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: This system is easy to use, so many features to make a shop run smoothly. inventory seems to work very well. tech software is such a big help allowing techs to use, clock in and out of jobs, add comments, add parts, job lines, without enough control to really mess up the paperwork. tech support is fantastic. call back time is usually within minutes and updates are emailed regularly until issue is resolved. when we looking for new program this just seemed to fit all criteria. set up for a repair shop or fleet maintenance it has most all features you could want. appreciate that operators of system can not easily change information once entered and always a record of changes. can not delete workorders or invoices without trail
> 
> **Cons**: reports are not always accurate and sometimes difficult to find which one you actually want.  core on hand  values are not correct. looking up past work history can be more difficult than other programs
> 
> We are very happy with this system.
