How does ProductVision work so well for different types of process
manufacturers?
- ProductVision's user-defined properties allow the user to tailor the software for a
specific process industry. Properties are user-defined, industry characteristics
that describe Resources or Formulas. Properties can be numeric values, logical
true/false values, character, or date fields. Examples of properties for a food and
beverage manufacturer might include calculations for a product calories, sodium level,
saturated fat or Brix (sugar solids) level. A paint or coatings manufacturer may
want to track formula VOCs, PVCs or two component calculations of NCO to OH ratios. T o
simplify installation, ProductVision comes with many pre-defined industry-standard
properties.

How
long does it take to implement ProductVision?
- Based on years of experience, Advanced Software Designs creates a custom implementation
and training schedule for each ProductVision installation. With ProductVision’s
data import capabilities, the time consuming task of re-entering data from existing
systems is greatly decreased. And since ProductVision uses all standard Windows
software conventions, training requirements are reduced if the users are familiar with
other Windows packages, such as Microsoft Word, Excel, etc.
