Very helpful. Pros Well designed, easy to use, quick/easy access to raw data downloads in each of the modules. Cons Not all data is available to download. Missing ability to Mass Update (for e.g., in instances of multiple variants of Supplier/Vendor Names). Very weak reporting options. Alternatives considered [SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence](https://www.capterra.com/p/92075/SAP-BusinessObjects/) Reasons for choosing 1factory Price, intuitive design, accommodated all our business needs. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor January 9, 2025 We welcome customer feedback and use it to actively improve the product as seen in the vast majority of reviews. However, we cannot act on fake “incentivized” reviews, where this site emails random people and asks for reviews in exchange for monetary compensation. There is no record of this person has ever signed up or used the 1factory system. ML Mouhamad L.

Cons Working with specific customers, we ran into an issue that our sampling plan is not available in 1factory. It's on the radar to be added in the future. Switched from [Discuss.io](https://www.capterra.com/p/204049/Discuss-io/) It didn't have all we need. It was just ballooning and upload to net inspect.

We have yet to explore all this software has to offer - I am confident it will solve many more problems as we integrate with all its incredible features. Cons Honestly, nothing. Anytime we ran into, or run into a snag, 1factory's customer service is on top of solutions.

Looking forward to more new features 😊 Pros We wanted to improve one of our highly important process which is the new tooling full dimensional measurement process from ballooning the dimensions to measured data automation. 1factory PDF auto-ballooning and auto-uploading of CMM data solved our needs. Our customers were very satisfied as we are providing faster and more accurate reports. Our in-process inspection became more productive and efficient after using the QC Plan, Inspection and Analytics features. We had productivity gain of about 20% after using 1factory on our production quality control, eliminating use of paper-based data recording and human error in recording and data entry. Since all data is digitised, we've speed up the traceability time of historical data during customers and third parties audit. The historical data provided us a quick visual view of our manufacturing performance thus providing confidence and assurance to our customers. Customer service was prompt, patience and supportive in responding to our enquiries.We also like the continuous improvement and adding of features such as PPAP, Gage GR&R.One great delighters was the Chinese language subtitles training videos and the user interface.

Quality Engineer Aviation & Aerospace ### "Great Quality Management Software" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 December 22, 2022 Overall, I am very happy the implementation of the 1Factory software. Our operators love the ease of use, and the fact that they no longer have to transfer CMM data by hand. I only wish our customers would also make the switch from the current data collection service that we are forced to use. Pros I have yet to see another software that comes close to the accuracy of the OCR when ballooning prints. The customer service is unparalleled. The 1Factory team demonstrates a willingness to actually listen to their customers, provide feedback, and they're dedicated to continuous improvement. It is very refreshing to finally deal with a software company that genuinely cares about their customers. Cons I do not have many complaints about this software. The only issue is the monumental task of changing all of our previous jobs/parts over to the new layout. Our company tends to do things a little differently and more complicated. Nonetheless, the extra time up front is proving to be worth the extra effort. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.
