What Product Experts Say

“Expanding our partnership with Specright to manage specification data across the entire product life cycle was an easy choice and sets us up for success in enhancing and developing innovative products while also ensuring our workforce is more efficient.”

Andy Norman

CIO, Bob Evans

“What we’re doing with Specright is really strengthening up that whole product life cycle management process. We have some island systems today that do some of these things, but again, all of those challenges – disconnected systems, arguments about data… these things just don’t make sense now. With Specright, we decided to put this PLM system in place and actually drive it forward.”

Frank Ardite

Global Quality & Digitization Director, BASF

“…We went down the path with SAP PLM several times and the product in and of itself is overly complex…When we came across Specright, it’s the ease of use of the tool. If you look at the platform, you look for an item and traverse through the lineage of the ingredients and the packaging and the labels, it’s so easy to use that then we got more adoption and more support to do the project.”
