Excerpt from Fourth Shift Review

Fourth Shift, part of the SoftBrands group, is a family of integrated computer applications and services training products designed to support decision making in a manufacturing company. Fourth Shift improves inter-departmental communication by giving employees a common language, and improves productivity by providing a systematic, disciplined approach to key manufacturing activities.

Fourth Shift can help increase inventory turns, improve on-time delivery performance, manage payables and receivables, and eliminate production interruptions caused by shortages. But these are attributes claimed by many MRP II providers.

What separates Fourth Shift from other systems, among other things, is superior technical and application support from a team of support professionals dedicated to helping maximize an investment in Fourth Shift.

Rapid implementation is based on a unique implementation blueprint, developed through 16 years of experience in systems installation and integration. Many Fourth Shift customers are up and running in 90-120 days.

Advanced Internet functionality helps you increase revenue while decreasing costs. Fourth Shift provides e-centers (Customer Center, Supplier Center, and Employee center) which streamline transactions and information gathering. The system also includes My Fourth Shift Workplace -- a browser-based portal where users can access Fourth Shift applications, other applications, and pertinent information from the Web all within a single, customizable window. The thin client architecture also makes upgrades faster and easier.
