Views of a BizzTrax 377 client
To know more about the effectiveness of BizzTrax 377 in an actual business environment, we contacted Ehtesham Maqbool Elahi, Executive Director at Macpac Films Ltd. His company has been using BizzTrax 377 since July 2015. Due to various internal considerations, including patronization for local vendors and personalized support requirements they chose not to go with any established international solution (like SAP, MS Dynamics, etc). They also have had positive experiences while working with EfroTech for nearly 6 years using a prior version of BizzTrax 377.
While talking about BizzTrax 377, he said that their experience had been good. He also had some suggestions as to what could be done more by EfroTech to make sure that their customers get the best possible experience.
Talking about the things that could be improved at EfroTech’s end, he said:
“The product can be improved (even more) by periodic feedback by company directly from customers, formally and acting upon suggestions. There should be more customer focused and improved reports options in dashboard level. There are some changes needed to improve usability of reports so that writers without technical knowledge are able to perform slight report changes.”
“BizzTrax377 is the best choice when it comes to locally developed and cost effective solutions”
In the end, looking at the competitive landscape from global ERP brands, he said that BizzTrax 377 needs to keep up with international challenges and ever-changing needs of customers. But despite all that, he had found BizzTrax 377 to be the best choice when it comes to locally developed and cost effective solutions. He recommended other companies to look at BizzTrax 377 if they are hindered by budget challenges and are looking for a solution carrying expertise of local and international best practices.
