We are thinking about purchasing this program and I would like to know if anyone has any past experiences with this software. We are a medium size calibration house and currently use in house developed calibration software. The big advantage I see for this software is that it is internet based and our tech's can access it from anywhere. Any feedback (+ or -) would be very helpful.

Merrick, I have not used this software before. Do you do any FDA work, where you would be concerned with electronic records/electronic signatures?

Have you been using Access or Excel? What is your motivation for moving to calibration software? Just curious.:D

We do not do any FDA work but are a ISO17025 accredited calibration lab. We have been using Access for the database and a combination of excel and word for the certificates. We also are using a accounting software (Dba). We convert the certificates to a pdf and store on our website to give our customers online access to their cert's. Our thinking is that we could consolidate all the above listed programs and use just one. Also right now the service technicians have to daily email the cert's into the office and Access has to then be updated and the cert's posted to the website. This program would allow us to skip this step.
