Director

REALTRAC is known for its stability and reliability, ensuring minimal downtime and consistent performance.

While the basic plan is affordable, accessing advanced features or premium support may require a significant investment.

Plastic inspector

The pricing is a little high if you really compare them with most other software companies.

Customer Service

The display and layout was a bit confusing at first .

Overall REALTRAC is very functional and easy to use , and can be much improved.

I like how confidant they are with their management software.

Production Manager

I like all the features that REALTRAC has to offer!!

Operations Support

There is no option to see transaction history of parts on the inventory side. When we have an issue, we can't see what transactions took place prior to see where the problem occur to make our qty off or see any negative qty's.

Also, status of "incomplete" for finished goods is pointless for how Realtrac treats it once moved to a job to make the part complete.

Business Manager

I have unanswered questions from several months ago on a report showing total dollar value of estimates created in a month.

Realtrac is a more simple ERP as far as user friendly application.

Overall ok, but can't get answers from technical support on custom reports.

 Administrative Assistant 

They have been willing to work with us to much and to teach us how to us the system .

Quality Manager

Realtrac is super simple to navigate and use on a daily basis.

They are only open 8-5 Mountain Time and most times we wait 2 - 4 hours to speak with tech support only to be told that Fishbowl cannot do that. Or No fishbowl cannot do it that way.

Electronic Systems Manager

Working with complex electronic manufacturing processes, I have yet to find a need that fishbowl does not meet. When I'm having trouble configuring fishbowl to my liking the support team is very helpful and has successfully aided me in achieving our business goals.

Great support structure when product expectation is not meeting identified needs or when question arises that is not readily available n documentation.
