Process Metrix retained Tom Blazek to help us implement our recently purchased MiSYS inventory management system. We had a very small time window in which to learn the software, load our inventory, verify our inventory numbers and then go live. Tom was very open and honest with us: Our schedule was ambitious, there was a high likelihood that it would take longer than we’d hoped, and we might even miss our goal entirely. Yet, Tom was willing to engage. He cleared his schedule and we started in earnest.
The training that Tom provided on the MISYS package was well organized and focused just on those software elements we needed to launch. Tom helped us craft an inventory management approach that matched the needs of our business. In fact, this is one of Tom’s strengths: He strives to understand the business and its inventory/accounting management requirements and then tailors his approach to meet those needs. Tom is smart, articulate, well versed in inventory and accounting and communicates well. He treats his customers with respect. Questions are always address reasonably and promptly. He never tires of teaching the concepts of proper inventory management! His business acumen also spills into suggesting good business operational practice, which we appreciate.
Through Tom’s tutelage, we successfully launched MiSYS within our available time window. Since installation, we’ve had some struggles and made some mistakes. Tom has helped us unwind those mistakes and learn how to avoid them moving forward. We’re now using the software for inventory management, purchasing advice, PO placement, receiving, and transfer of finished goods to accounting for invoicing. Tom also helped us create the link between our MISYS implementation and our Sage 50 accounting software. Again, this was a critical piece that we absolutely had to address for successful installation of MISYS. Anyone that claims MISYS can be installed and launched without an expert consultant such as Tom is mistaken – the complexity of the software makes retention of a capable consultant an absolute requirement. Tom fulfilled that requirement perfectly, and I have no hesitation recommending him to anyone that might be considering a MISYS implementation for inventory management.
