Short and easy implementation

4.0 4 years ago

Pros:

The success plan created together with the Customer Success Manager from Cioplenu was a good help to keep the implementation on track. Cioplenu is a Product which was replacing old Paper forms and therefore there was no pressure from anywhere to change current situation. But we were able to be on our schedule and successfully rolled out the application.

Cons:

There is actually nothing I don't like. Some concurrent user with read only rights would be nice instead of only named user.

Thank you for your review. With our modular pricing model, we aim for the most suitable offering for our clients, meaning they only pay for what they use. Therefore, certain functions that also drive the value of the software even further come along with a separate price tag. We are looking forward to continue our long lasting collaboration.

Easier checklists and documentation

4.0 3 years ago

Comments: Great support.
Quick answers to all kinds of questions.
Direct support from permanent employees.
Use of the existing skills and the existing wealth of experience.

Pros:

For us, the cioplenu software offers the advantage that checklists can be completed anywhere, regardless the device. Updates can be carried out easily and without great effort. The document versioning works fully automatic. In addition, cioplenu enables us to simplify photo documentation.

Cons:

It may appear confusing in the beginning. However, the use of structure classes quickly makes this initial lack of clarity better.

Im großen und ganzen eine super Software.

4.0 4 years ago

Comments: Bei uns im Unternehmen werden die Wartungschecklisten der Produktion und der Instandhaltung in Cioplenu dargestellt, außerdem Rüstanleitung / Reparaturanleitungen / Checklisten zu einzelnen Arbeitsabläufen. Außerdem wird Cioplenu auch in der Logistik und der QM (z.B. Fehlerrückverfolgung) verwendet. Es werden immer neue Bereiche integriert.
Zu Beginn ist es natürlich, wie bei jeder neuen Software ein enormer Pflegeaufwand, dieser minimiert sich aber, dann sobald das System gefüllt ist.
Grundsätzlich finden sich die Nutzer sehr schnell zurecht.

Pros:

Die Funktionalität der Bilder/Links/Verpflichtende Angaben/Modulen/Aufträge/Regeln werden bei uns am häufigsten genutzt. Es werden aber inzwischen auch immer mehr die weiteren Interaktionen + Funktionen (z.B. Tasks) genutzt. Die Software entwickelt sich immer weiter, im letzten Jahr hat sich sehr viel getan. Es kann an immer neuen Lösungen/Verbesserungsvorschlägen mit Cioplenu gearbeitet werden und die Software auf die Bedürfnisse des jeweiligen Kunden angepasst/optimiert werden.

Cons:

Die Funktion der Regel / Tasks und Analytics könnten/sollten noch verbessert werden. Außerdem muss noch am Berechtigungsmanagement gearbeitet werden. Die Performance muss sich noch verbessern. Die Kundennähe ist nicht mehr so, wie zu Anfangszeiten.

Weitere Checklisten, wie z.B. zur Schulung von GARANT-Mitarbeiter und unseren Kunden, werden in der nächsten Zeit folgen.
Der Gesamteindruck von Operations1 ist sehr gut. Sowohl die Software als auch der Service. Durch die regelmäßigen Updates und Erweiterung der Funktionen, entwickelt sich Operstions1 kontinuierlich weiter.

Pros:

- Checklistenaufträge lassen sich flexibel zusammenstellen - Die Checklistenpunkte werden intuitive von den Nutzern abgearbeitet - Fotos und Videos lassen sich einfach einfügen und bearbeiten - In den Reporten wird der aktuelle Stand der Arbeiten gut dargestellt

Cons:

- Die Reihenfolge der Checklisten innerhalb eines Checklistenauftrags lässt sich nicht verändern - Eine bereits abgeschlossene Checkliste lässt sich nicht durch den Administrator wieder freigeben
