Intuitive user and administrative interface. We were up and running within a few hours on our first production line and after validation have expanded to several production lines without any major issues. Additionally they provide very good user support. > > **Cons**: Standard reporting could be improved but we have found that Blackbird have provided customised BI reports to meet our specific Company reporting requirements ----- ### "Great system with fantastic customer support" — 5.0/5 > **Robert** | *2 February 2023* | Food Production | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very easy to implement Customer serviceConstantly improving system and features > > **Cons**: No mobile app. > > From the time we made the first call, they have been extremely supportive to our needs, their team has even helped us set up custom reporting that we use in our daily production meeting. They have always been prompt in responding to our needs and this system has helped improve our OEEs on our lines by focusing on the issues driven by real data. ----- ### "Blackbird, a great OEE and downtime analysis tool" — 4.0/5 > **Ben** | *13 December 2022* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Once deployed the software is reliable and incredibly easy to use providing detailed insight into OEE and downtime reasons. > > **Cons**: Our initial install process was time-consuming and challenging for our particular use cast.

We often get caught out by this and as a result do not capture all the stoppages. > > I think its a great system and seen some good improvements from the data it collects. Andon call can be very powerful. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/333741/blackbird?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/333741/blackbird) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
