GAGEpack Reviews

We have used the software for many of the features to keep track of our calibration system. This was a fantastic change from our card files of the past. After using it for a short time we found that it can be used for other items as well. We now use it for keeping track of certifications of our personnel, machine maintenance schedules, safety certifications & inspections, OSHA required inspections,...

I really have no cons. The software has some features we do not use. It is nice to have them there, we just do not use them.

Curt - Thanks for the awesome review! Great to hear that GAGEpack has been a big improvement from your previous card system. It's been a pleasure working with you. Thanks again!

The ability to get done what you want - you just have to figure out your end result then find the icon that will do it for you. Having a background in C++ helps to make the proper filters and adjust reports as needed. Highly recommend users that hold their own license go through a course. It takes about 2 hours on line. I also like the support. I like dealing with one person, and my contact is always prompt on returning my emails and giving me suggestions to obtain my end goal. He also looks over my code for me before I implement it to make sure it is not going to mess up my database.

What I do not like is the amount of characters in some of the blocks are not long enough for the titles of my gages when I am making up a worksheet. When updates are available for off site program holders, some how make it automatic when those updates are included in the software license.

Keith - Thanks for the review. We appreciate the opportunity to work with you!

The way gages can be sorted. Love the active/inactive gage feature. Nice to have a second R&R software.

It is hard to attach things in it. I managed to do it once, but forgot how I did it. An ATTACH ICON would be handy that would let you attach any kind of document including photos. The help features are not much help, but that is true of almost all software.

John - Your comments have been passed on and will be considered by our software engineers. Thanks for the feedback!

For us GAGEpack is most helpful for our calibrations. It alerts us when our gages need calibrating. It keeps records of the calibrations. Then we have it hooked up to a label printer and it prints our calibration sticker for us. We had been filling out calibration stickers by hand. In the process we would occasionally get a date wrong. Now that we're hooked up to a label printer our calibration stickers are always right.

I haven't found a way in GAGEpack to find out all the gages a particular employee has checked out to them. I have contacted the company but it evidently isn't a feature included in the software. I would like to see it added.

Don - Happy to hear that we have helped with your calibration process! We appreciate your feedback. Your suggestion has been relayed to our software engineers and will be taken into consideration. Thanks for the review!

easy and friendly to use. I would recommend this product to any organization that uses tons of gages. Helps me keep track of all my gage product and I love the "filter" option its so powerful

too much to learn, which is not bad as nothing comes easy or cheap. its a bit tough to find the gagepack database in my computer. I

Godwin - Thanks for your review and positive comments! We agree that there is a lot to learn, but we'd like to make the learning process as smooth as possible so we offer a variety of training options - including FREE webinars: https://pq.systems/webinars To learn more about training, please reach out to us via email (support@pqsystems.com), by phone (1-800-777-5060), or online chat (http://pq.systems/pq-chat).

The ability to track tools and equipment, being able to have different time tables for reminders of due dates, and the wide range of information that can be associated with tools we use.

The fact that the program tends to "crash" on a fairly regular basis requiring the need to contact support to reset the program.

Ron - We are happy to hear that GAGEpack has been helpful for your company. Thank you for the feedback!

The ease of use. I can sort by any feature that is populated. The customer support is always spot on. Everyone is extremly polite and helpful.

The cost of the software is a little high when trying to put the system on multiple computers.

Dan - Thank you for your feedback and positive review of GAGEpack! It's great to hear that our solution and Application Support team have made audits easier for StandardAero. Your comments regarding the R&R feature have been passed on to our software engineers and will be taken into consideration. We appreciate your feedback and look forward to continuing to serve you!

Ease of use and great customer support. I've used it for Medical Device manufacturing and passed FDA and ISO audits with a breeze and getting the highest compliments in my career. I've also used it for Biotech Research and now for Aerospace Manufacturing. One of our service vendors uses it commercially as well. And you can't beat the price for what you get back from it.

It doesn't read my mind and just do things I want it to... Maybe someday. But i'm not going sit and wait for that to happen.

Christopher - Thanks for the great review! Hope you continue to have positive experiences with GAGEpack!

The features of email notifications for past due calibrations. The easy to use system The MSA capabilities The actual failure analysis based on wear and tear using calibration records The option to place visuals for gage identification The option to place vendor certifications and the notification of when the accreditation/Scope is expired The tracking of cost associate with gage purchases A team of experts ready and available to help with transition from old software to new.

There is nothing that I can think of other than its not free.

customization of fields - We utilize the software for anything that requires scheduling - eye appts, annual training, audits, preventive maintenance, etc.

The software will crash at times. Would like the software to grow into an optional cloud based system.

Julie - We appreciate the review! We're glad to hear that you enjoy the customization aspect of GAGEpack. We have recently been exploring a cloud based system so this might be something we implement in the future!

The ease of use of this soft ware is great. Anyone can use this with little computer skills. It helps us to stay up to date with the latest ISO standards, and MILL standards.

I have not found any problems with this software, we update ours every year. As we see new changes in ISO or MILL standards, I also see that the software covers these new standards.

Larry - Thanks for the great review! Hope you continue to have positive experiences with GAGEpack!

It gives you all the information about a part that has been entered into the system. This makes it so easy to check the status of any part

I haven't had any issues with Gage pack, I have been able to use it for all of my needs, and find it an awesome calibration/ staging software. it just makes my job so much easier!!!!

Gagepack software is very useful covering all the latest information for our audit certifications. User access is very good. I have no complaints from my users.

Only complaints is the mult windows to use. A one page home with tabs scrolling to different areas would speed up log information times.

Brian - Thanks for the review! We look forward to continue working with Franklin Precision!

Ease of use. Every field is selectable to allow sorting. We use the enterprise version and it is easily adaptable.

Wish it had more user fields that I could add to the validation criteria. To force entry of specific fields.

Jim - Thanks for the kind words regarding GAGEpack and our team. Your comments have been passed on and will be considered by our software engineers. Thanks for the feedback!

Organization, history, scheduling forward and reviewing historical performance. Single license purchase price fits perfectly for any size company that needs to use it.

I wish we could afford to have more licenses. We have multiple users in a large building but only have budget for one concurrent license. I'm pushing for at least one more license, but "currently it's not in the budget"

Dan - Happy to hear you enjoy using GAGEpack! We would love to help add more licenses to your plan when your budget allows. Thanks for the review!

Easy to use and a lot of options to better fit your needs. Charts are very helpful. Calendar is useful as well.

Not much to say here. A lot of information to process. Still learning. Which really isn't a bad thing.

Amy - Thanks for the review! Our website has different videos if you are hoping to learn more about effectively using GAGEpack.

All data is at my finger tips. Easy to use

Would like to see tool description on the calibration screen

Ray - We appreciate the kind review! Your comments relating to tool descriptions have been passed on to our software engineers. Thank you for the feedback!

Gagepack is the easiest to use gage management software on the market. The customer support is second to none.

I have no issues with the software. It is very easy to use.

Steve - Thank you for the review. We enjoy working with you!

The software is good , easy to use.

I should be able to put what I want on my own certs not have to have support add and remove features on My certificates

Tracy - Thanks for the review! We're sorry to hear about the trouble you're having with certificates. Your comments have been passed on to our software engineers and will be taken into consideration. It's been a pleasure working with you!

The dashboard is a good tool for quick access. Linking vendor certs is useful. Monitoring of vendor accreditation. Wear trend analysis. Calibration cost reports.

It would be helpful to allow MSA studies, (stability, bias and linearity) to be scheduled. There is a dashboard button but scheduling is not intuitive.

Tony - Thank you for the awesome review! We're thrilled to hear that GAGEpack has been such a help for Blue Blade Steel when going through audits. We look forward to continue working with you!

Can figure out how to do things just by scrolling through software. It is integratable with SQC Pack. It is flexible--database can be centralize and used by several plants.

Really nothing!

Caroline - Thanks for providing your feedback. We're happy to hear that you've found GAGEpack to be intuitive and easy to use. Our team is looking forward to continuing to work with Yokohama!

can separate the working gauges from the archive gauges. easy to move from one set of gauges to another.

all the closed tabs haven't had training so trying to find how to open them makes it tough and not know what everything does make's it a little harder.

Dale - Thank you for the review. Our website has a variety of videos that can help in teaching you more about GAGEpack. And as always, if you have any questions, feel free to contact our Application Support team to discuss the options available for your company's specific needs.

It is a friendly product, with some attention at the moment of setting it up you can configure the GAGEpack to get the most of it.

At the moment of the updates the configuration of the reports change and the layout of the reports returns to its original values making you to change those again

Hector - Thanks for the comments and feedback!
