We've had very serious conveniences.
Turan, who previously stated that they kept all processes on paper or in Excel, said, "We have now started to keep these on the system and, most importantly, to archive them. It's very fast in terms of instant and retrospective traceability. Pulling up this information and conducting checks and revisions has also provided us with great convenience," he said.
We gave each company a separate code.
Turan, expressing that they assigned a separate code to each company with the @rgemas system, said, "Therefore, these have saved us a lot of time in terms of quality processes, production processes, and retrospective traceability processes. When we track all these with barcode movements, we can provide information to customers and ourselves much faster about which product is in which process, when it entered, when it exited, or when it will exit," he said.
We can receive technical support 24/7.
Emphasizing that technical support and sustainability are the most important issues in all systems acquired, Turan said, "The biggest reason why we have been working together for so long is that we receive technical support from @rgemas.

It also challenges management

I recommend @rgemas.
Aysel, expressing that @rgemas has added a lot to their vision, said, "I have been using @rgemas for 3 years, and I recommend it.
