Cons
"However, the production guys tell me that Penta is not suitable for mass production. If we build a hundred cars per day or more, then we'll have problems. At the same time, I can't say whether the issue is Penta or our process. In other words, maybe we have too many manual projects in it."

"Production area and Bill of Materials: effective date and Subcontracting process.""It could have RPA automation and RPA elements. There could also be add-ons for a Document Management System and Warehouse Management System.""Overall, the integration and the reports can be better.""We would like a mobile version of this for sales exhibits, etc. We would also like more personalization features to personalize it for our organization.""There are improvements needed. However, they provide improvements over time.""SAP Business One could improve asset management, inventory management, banking system, and production.
