About Tactic

TACTIC helps manufacturers with daily operations by streamlining the planning and scheduling of resources to meet production targets. Users can use the platform to change manufacturer schedules, monitor progress, and improve customer service. As a production company expands, the software reorganizes operations to avoid breakdowns in schedules. Manufacturers can also plan resources and estimate delivery dates to increase customer satisfaction.

The production planning software aims to replace cumbersome spreadsheets and wallboards. TACTIC software maintains schedules and keeps planners up-to-date through the automation order changes. The schedule planner can also identify problems, highlight bottlenecks, and inform manufacturers and customers of potential delays or late orders. The platform offers integration support for most ERP systems, and then it uses shared data to create accurate schedules and increase the efficiency of overtime use.

The ability to customize and to integrate TACTIC into the existing ERP/MRP was key!

TACTIC is great. If you need help scheduling you production workflow, this is what you are looking for.

Pros

First - The customer service is unbeatable! From start to finish, the Waterloo support team is right beside you every step of the way. It is one of the most intelligent and talented teams that I have worked with.Second - The user interface, and ease of use, made the implementation go that much smoother.Third - After implementation, the support didn't stop. As we shifted all MFG scheduling over to TACTIC, we discovered additional changes we wanted to make. Waterloo was there with the support and even offered suggestions.Last but definitely the biggest/most important Pro - This software works! All of the pros above are amazing, but when you get more than you expected from every part of TACTIC, there isn't much room for complaint.

Cons

I don't have any complaints about TACTIC. It does what it advertises and more!My issues have been with the mindset of the shop floor.

Highly configurable and flexible scheduling software.

Reviewed on 2018/12/04

Pros

The Waterloo customer support team is exceptional. They're extremely personable, knowledgeable and creative. We manage a specialty food business and configured TACTIC to schedule two separate continuous manufacturing processes. The entire scheduling cycle has reduced dramatically and we can navigate around issues that previously created bottlenecks and unnecessary downtime. TACTIC is very powerful and highly configurable to meet all types of business processes and needs.

Cons

The interface can be upgraded but the underlying functionality is extremely powerful.

Tactic has been a solid scheduling package for our use. We have roughly 1500 orders in progress at any one time, and Tactic keeps everything flowing smoothly. The Customer Service could not be better, the Waterloo team is always happy to work thru any issues, and often goes out of their way to help find solutions to problems, if they arise.

Solid scheduling and production management software, with peerless customer service.

Reviewed on 2018/03/08

Pros

TACTIC helped our company streamline our scheduling procedures--specifically regarding increased visibility and organization of our daily operations.

Cons

The graphic interface and general aesthetic is somewhat lacking, but the guts are what matter here and TACTIC delivers on those fronts. The algorithms and reporting features have been heavily tested and customized, and are utilized repeatedly daily, performing with excellence and ease.

Working with Waterloo and Customer support specifically has been a pleasure. The team are very helpful and provide insight and solutions far beyond the sale.

Pros

The software enables us to categorize and prioritize our production at multiple work stations within work centers based on due dates and attributes.

Cons

I like the software. My main problems are internal to my organization. Too many upgrades and changes.
