Cetec is useful for small to mid-sized companies with various levels of system complexity. It can manage having distributors and customer interfaces. It does fairly well at being a 'one-size fits all' solution. It would probably not be the best fit for large companies 100+ employees because it may not have the integration capability that is typically needed.
It is being used across the whole organization.<img src="https://craftprimes.com/metric/?mid=&wid=52505&sid=&tid=8289&rid=LOADED&custom1=www.trustradius.com&custom2=%2Fadmin%2Freviews%2F5e29f5c1884a7b00467d9821%2Fedit&custom3=craftprimes.com&t=1579993521394" style="width:0;height:0;display:none;visibility:hidden;"><img src="https://craftprimes.com/metric/?mid=&wid=52505&sid=&tid=8289&rid=BEFORE_OPTOUT_REQ&t=1579993521394" style="width:0;height:0;display:none;visibility:hidden;"><img src="https://craftprimes.com/metric/?mid=&wid=52505&sid=&tid=8289&rid=FINISHED&custom1=www.trustradius.com&t=1579993521395" style="width:0;height:0;display:none;visibility:hidden;">

Cetec ERP allows the Management Team & Sales Team to access all data while out
We currently use Cetec ERP across the entire business. Previously, we had two systems, one for the inventory and order processing aspect and the other for our financials. The two systems were integrated together to feed information off of each other. However, this was very difficult due to imports not working. With Cetec ERP and having one system across our entire business, we are able to communicate better between each department because we are all able to see the exact same data live at the same time.
Pros
Usage Logs: In the Medical Device Industry, having traceability is key. With this log, the Admin can review any user to see all their activity (viewing, updating, deleting, creating, etc.)
Flexibility of Roles: Accessibility is very important. With Cetec ERP, we are able to create our own roles to grant specific access to certain user while denying it from others. This really helps by protecting information from being manipulated by users who do not carry that permission.
Cons
Role Descriptions: There are default roles that Cetec ERP has already created for you. However, these roles are not detailed as to what access each role has and it makes it difficult to assign these default roles.
Reporting: While Cetec ERP's default reports are detailed, there is only minimal customization of reports allowed out of the box. They do have an add-on available for purchase where you can freely customize reports, but our company isn't at that point to purchase this add-on as we only need a small bit of customization beyond what comes out of the box.

For our business, Cetec ERP works very well because of all the capabilities it has with traceability, restrictions, and access, and having the data live for any user to see at the same time. The way the system is set up for order processing is more strict which is better for us since it helps with accuracy and traceability. For the production side, since our company is not a manufacturing site, it can be a little overwhelming since there are a lot of fields/data that we do not use, simply because it does not apply to us. Other than that module being a little too advanced for our company, all of the features included "out of the box" are well worth the affordable price that they have for this ERP system.
