nutraCoster

Good and a time saver

Commentaires : Have used it for years and is a great tool. Customer service is good and helpful. Would like to see more features added. Has made my life easier even in the manufacturing world.

Avantages :

Love the ease of making the nutritional analysis. Easy to find the items needed

Inconvénients :

Need to be able to email and easily add items that are not found. Can be a tad cumbersome

Wonderful customer service

Avantages :

nutraCoster is very reliable and provides a professional label product. And the customer service is top notch. When we had to move the software from one computer to another one, the customer service helped us every step of the way. I highly recommend nutraCoster.

Inconvénients :

I do not have anything negative to say about the software.

Using this program is a constant battle!

Commentaires : Forced me to learn coding so that I could build my own data management system.

Avantages :

I started out loving this program. The ability to enter the exact ingredient you use and use one recipe as an ingredient in another is great. But, unfortunately, the honeymoon phase only lasted about a month because all the glitches, unexpected crashes, and limitations became glaringly obvious.

Inconvénients :

At first it seems like this program has a ton of great features, but many of them don't actually work. The nutrition calculation for the most part is accurate, provided that the processing yield doesn't inexplicably change itself. I'd say the program crashes about 2-12 times a day depending on usage and how it's feeling. We've got about 700 recipes to keep track of and I think that's just too much for this program. The cost analysis also sounded great at the beginning, but can be inaccurate and attempting to use the overhead calculator crashes my system every time. There is a Yahoo group run by the developer that you can join which I think would be helpful for learning the basic functions of the program. Although they are quick to respond, it doesn't help with the big issues like the constant crashing and unexpected changes the recipes seem to make "themselves." Sounds great but still needs lots of work and development before I'd consider it a decent product.

Why we stay

Commentaires : We are reviewing the possibility of using nutraCoster to track many of the costs we have been using spreadsheets to capture

Avantages :

It's very straight forward to use and is very accurate. It has a great database and functionality.

Inconvénients :

It's not very sexy in today's software world. I wish it had some of the functions I've seen in other similar software.

Fantastic Product

Commentaires : The absolute best part about nutraCoster is that the [SENSITIVE CONTENT], is a wizard at how this software works inside and out. I have been using this for over 13 years and he has always been available if I ever had any issues, even going as far as to restore a decade worth of data I thought was lost when I had a server crash at my facility. This is an invaluable tool and [SENSITIVE CONTENT] knows how to keep it working for my business.

Avantages :

I use nutraCoster to create nutrition panels for products we produce and it does a fantastic job. We also produce products for international markets and the changes to label styles and formats is key. I wouldn't be without it!

Inconvénients :

The functionality for defining units on a nutrition panel is a little cumbersome. Once you have it figured out, it works fine, but the Swerving Size Helper is a little clunky.
