This is awesome…all the work is putting the data in, and once you have that, being able to just pick and choose what you want makes it so easy. I think it's great!

Edgenet has streamlined the new item set up process and item maintenance immensely. As an example, I learned about an error on about 100 of our products. By using Edgenet, I was able to correct everything in a little over an hour as opposed to days.
