Dave Mortenson, Vice President, Pullbrite, Inc., Fremont, CA
"Our total down time was one day in the transition. Being a Windows based program, our staff picked it up quickly with little training. We are still learning all of it's benefits but we were up and operating within days. We were producing work orders, shippers and invoicing in the first week. We also like the way SK can be modified to fit our specific business needs. And most importantly, the cost of this program is very affordable. For a small but growing company like ours, SK has been the perfect fit. I highly recommend it to all my colleagues in job shop manufacturing industries."
