Intellimas

More than just a Data

Comments: Overall Intellimas has helped increase the response time to constantly changing business processes due to internal and external factors. The intellimas support team has a through understanding of industry and is enthusiastic to solve complex business scenarios with you. The turnaround time for some minor changes and fixes is sometimes minutes compared to days you need to wait for support teams from big companies.

Pros:

1. Intellimas works great at consolidating data from legacy and mordern systems alike and we are using this a bridge for seamless integration across various platforms. 2. This is also a great platform to develop custom applications with minimal time and effort. 3. Its easy to use and spreadsheet like features makes mass updates for data possible and is a big win for teams resistant to change.

Cons:

Although intellimas offers great reporting features with regards to complexity of data the packaged reporting tool is very basic with regards to formatting and presentation.

Great Replacement for Dozens of Data Entry Spreadsheets

Comments: Intellimas has been customized to meet our needs and the process for doing so was very easy. The team was easy to work with and they've been extremely responsive to requests. The scope for the project was well thought out and we've come in right on budget (time and money). There have been absolutely no problems in making Intellimas work for our needs.

Pros:

On-line shareable spreadsheet is one of the key functions. The fact that it actually works like a spreadsheet and is very compatible with Excel is a plus. The customizable home page and controls, searches, and reports all make viewing, entering and exporting data very easy.

Cons:

As with any software it takes a minute to get used to the interface. Mostly I found that straightforward. The only place I still struggle is with scolling in the grid view. There are 2 levels of scrolling left and right (main form and subform). I still can't get that straight.

Skanska Review

Comments: Live support has been great! Docs could be improved with better examples. I always appreciate short how-to videos. I feel like Intellimas is getting closer to a low code app with expressions, but you still have the full power of C# when needed.

Pros:

I like the new Expressions for calculated values instead of having to do everything in the C# after update script. Expand documentation on this! There is more that can be done with Scriban expressions than just simple calcs.

Cons:

The way the dropdown menus are built is really clunky for me. There needs to be an easier way to create selection options for SQL fields as you build them. On the admin and user side, there needs to be better separation and filters for the different tools that we build. Right now, it is hard to tell what belongs to what application. CSS formatting could be improved. It is frustrating that different items like SQL Menus, Numeric Values, Text, or Boolean fields don't all have the same width in form views.

Bespoke product created

Comments: Excellent. Again, their customer service really stands out. They were always open to discussing the project over zoom or phone call to make sure they understood our needed perfectly. Good advice on how to improve our product was offered and many times we took the advice.

Pros:

Their expertise, customer service and business understanding. We had a bespoke product created by Intellimas that required deep knowledge into our business and many coding hours. The team was very knowledge and dedicated to the project. We are very happy with the end product.

Cons:

At times there are limits to their ability to create new reports for us. However, since the product we asked them to create was unique it is hard to incorporate one size fits all report/changes.

Intellimas/Power grid - Excellent software

Comments: Using it as a module to our PLM system. Mainly for order placement. Connected to our ERP and it works perfectly.

Pros:

Many useful functions and excellent support

Cons:

Should like some shortcuts. Probably they exsist and it is my lack of knowledge.

Not great,

Comments: Our consultant is using it instead of Excel for data entry/analysis and it's awkward, clunky, and visually unappealing. I'm sure it's great for our consultant to pull our data out on the backend, but on the frontend it's painful.

Pros:

Not much. Even the arrows indicating the data's being saved point in the wrong direction.

Cons:

Almost everything. It's painful and doesn't look like it belongs to the 21st century.

Great resource for our institution.

Comments: I have had a great experience with Intellimas. It's a great resource for our institution.

Pros:

I love that we can make it what we need it to be for our workflow.

Cons:

Templates do not have more options, such as fonts, without having to go into HTML.

Intellimas is Excel on Steroids

Pros:

Intellimas provided a to have a professional, client facing exterior with a spreadsheet-centric base.

Cons:

The process of running tasks is difficult.

Comparing Intellimas to previous system

Comments: A great system, helps us deliver accurate timely data weekly to report out to executives and stakeholders. My commenatry is also added to provide more context

Pros:

The up-to-date system meeting industry standards that are constantly evolving in the data reporting world. The system is very user friendly and on par with QMS ( Quality management systems)

Cons:

The Intellimas system only has so many functions for people who enter data, I think more input with the administrative roles

Nice Application

Pros:

Simple system, not hard to grasp or understand.

Cons:

It was kind of too simple. Not very good to look at, really plain.

Easy data entry

Pros:

The fields were made easy to enter data and save data

Cons:

Lack of formatting abilities such as changing color fill

Intellimas for retail consumer goods costing, vendor selection, and order tracking.

Pros:

Intellimas is a very configurable application. Intellimas provides a way to put the work managed in spreadsheets into an application that looks and feels like a spreadsheet, but where the data can be shared with users across the enterprise both external and internal. Integration from multiple systems sends vital data to Intellimas to complete the costing process, like style master data attributes, DIM packaging assignments, forecasting quantities, factory information, BOM information, and RFQs. Products are costed in the currency assigned to the product's business unit (like US, Canada, Mexico, etc.) Vendors access their RFQs to return product costs, and internal sourcing teams can access and compare all quotes side by side to analyze and select vendors. Users can easily format and create views to display their data. The WIP Tracking entity receives POs issued to vendors and calculates due dates for a list of production tracking events. Vendors enter their actual dates for these events, business users use this information to track on time delivery, and vendor score carding. Recently, we deployed Intellimas as a Single Sign On application using Microsoft Azure. The deployment was seamless.

Cons:

HTS/Duty assignment integration to an imports system.

Best tool to kill excel based processes

Pros:

1) No more spreadsheet-based business processes 2) Data lives in a SQL database which is secure and very accessible for analytics 3) Form reach tool, not just grids 4) Built-in Hierarchy entities & very flexible data model 5) low-to-medium Coding (SQL + C#) is needed depending on the complexity of the app 6) Ability to seed the data into the tool from other systems

Cons:

1) Initially, not very intuitive however, within few weeks, a tech savvy person (not just IT) should be able to create apps 2) UI is practical but not super smooth

Intellimas for Product Costing

Comments: Intellimas used for costing, stores costs in one location that's accessible to all internal users either via reporting or directly in the UI. And based on custom configuration, specific costs are sent downstream and utilized for multiple planning and reporting processes. Intellimas used for WIP tracking, enables vendors to update events by Business Unit and PO in the UI, then the data is used in reporting to track on time deliveries.

Pros:

The software is very customizable, any product costing requirements like landing factors by BU, or INCO terms can be configured.

Cons:

Inability to upload excel spreadsheets, however using the Browser version of Intellimas, the ability to copy and paste from excel into Intellimas costing satisfies the upload request.

For the most part my experience has been good.

Pros:

In the past we used many excel spreadsheets to store our information. When updates were made, we had to remember to update in numerous spreadsheets. I like the fact that this program pulls much of the basic information our styles from our PLM system, and puts it into Power Grid. When we add sizing, pricing etc...to Power Grid, they only have to be updated one time. I do feel that customer support is very good. They were always very accommodating to help solve problems.

Cons:

I find it is very rigid and can be cumbersome. I am used to working in excel, which is very flexible. Power Grid is not as easy to manipulate. Once field names are set up initially, there is no easy way to have them re-named or to have formulas changed without having someone administrative do it for you. Also I find that I have to go through many steps to get to the end result. In all fairness, some of the problems I encounter may be because of the way our company chose to have things set up from the beginning.

Powergrid saved us from excel!

Pros:

Ease of use! Database structure is great!

Cons:

Integration is always a challenge when presenting a team with new products but the Powergrid team was very supportive.

Goodbye paper and hello Technology.

Pros:

This platform allows you to replace many spreadsheets, it is a strategic application that looks and feels like a spreadsheet, you can even add and delete columns, all the data is stored in a database, managing to work efficiently and saving time

Cons:

It is good to find people who want to diminish the environmental impact and Intellimas de Singletree does it with its proposal less paper, for that reason and more I recommend it.

Like audit/facility/customer/relationship module which is very helpful

Comments: Good good tool as compliance database

Pros:

We have multiple customers/vendors/facilities/subcontractors with different types of reports/documents, intellimas can provide us a good and streamlined view for these complicated information

Cons:

Quite annoyed that I have to enter my password when each time I search it

Manage legacy data using Excel-like tool

Comments: We are well-pleased with the tool. We purchased the product for one use in mind; however, we have found multiple ways to leverage the tool in our organization.

Pros:

We were able to develop additional applications on top of ou legacy PeopleSoft database. The data is real-time instead of having to export/import to another tool.

Cons:

Administrative configuration could use some enhancements

Intellimas Sm

Pros:

Seeing new and new features in this application that I have recently started to use attracts my attention to move away from classical patterns.

Cons:

It is a little more difficult and difficult to understand than the other application in terms of tabulation and graphing.

Great Reporting

Comments: Working on multiple softwares at any given season, have presented different sets of challenges that our team has not had to encounter before. Having the ability to run reports from our ERP and pre production system has been hugely helpful in catching any errors and ensuring integrations are successful each season.

Pros:

Flexible, fast and easily customize-able reports have helped our team check information that lives within the system. Integration has been seamless!

Cons:

Small things that you adjust to over time, pressing enter does not do automatic search.

The software is GREAT but the people... they are the BEST!

Pros:

What do I like most about this software: Excel like view The ease of entering data Updating with an option of making mass chances Exporting to Excel Grouping of data

Cons:

What do I like least about this software? The current software that I'm current working with; we do not have the ability to print.

POWERGRID

Comments: Great partners

Pros:

the ease of use and customization, the team has been extremely helpful

Cons:

some of the software limitations, and the report writer options

Innovative partner with excellent customer service

Comments: Intellimas replaced massive spreadsheets with multiple v-lookups. Ability to mass upload and process data has been a game changer and has enabled scaling of our business.

Pros:

Flexibility to configure screens / process flows to match business needs. Ability to mass upload and update data. Excellent implementation partner and customer support.

Cons:

Replaces use of excel within our business process but does not have all same features.

Great experience, would recommend to anyone. They are competent, thorough, and a joy to work with.

Comments: It provided a function that our core software system could not provide.

Pros:

We replaced spreadsheets with this software and it did exactly what they advertise. It found errors in our spreadsheets, eliminated our versioning issues, helped us to share data throughout the organization. This software gave us a solution to a problem that our core software could not address.

Cons:

With spreadsheets we had a very easy way of doing our "what if" scenarios and viewing the implications of the changes. With Intellimas it is more difficult to do "what ifs" than with spreadsheets. Another minor thing is a lot of scrolling across the screen to see data. Our version of Intellimas has all our data in one row.
