Maurice, Assistant Manager @ Flyjin

“Before using WISK, we had hesitations due to past unsuccessful experiences with other systems. We often reverted to pen and paper, which required transferring data to Excel, making the process very time-consuming. We started scanning everything, doing the inventory, it went super well, so I was very pleasantly surprised.”

"So when first joining WISK, my initial reaction was that it was a smooth transition. It took a lot less time to get everyone on board. They were all open for it because it's an app. They could use their phone.
You know, at the touch of our phones, we have everything available for. "

“It's very user-friendly, that's the first thing I thought. It's just this app on their phone, so they always have it in their pocket. So with Excel, it used to take us about one or two hours every week. Twice a week actually, it was not very accurate with our Excel sheet, but now it takes us like 20 minutes and we're done. So yeah, I was kind of surprised I was so user-friendly.”
