Customer service has been the highlight of Sophus. It is a complex tool and requires a lot of training, and what I received in training and additional support has been top notch. I have had several 1.5-2 hour training sessions to help dissect different aspects of the software, and they are very responsive and helpful when it comes to one-off email questions.
1. Simple and clear system interface 2. Reliable pre-sales and after-sales support 3. Professional supply chain simulation framework model 4. Excellent runtime and solution speed
Powerful scenario modeling. Clear visualization of optimal locations. Highly collaborative team.
There are a lot of input and output tables, when really most of it will not be utilized. Sometimes it makes it hard to navigate within the software. Within the input and output tables used, there are also a lot of columns, some of which don't have intuitive names/definitions. There is documentation, but I often do not find it useful unless I have prior knowledge using a certain column/metric and need a reminder. And lastly, I feel that it is sometimes hard to diagnose issues with a model that won't run or to validate if the model is producing the intended result.
Custom BI modules can be further optimized to reduce display issues caused by data overload.
The platform is powerful, but some of the more advanced capabilities take time to develop or scale broadly across markets. Faster iteration could make it even more impactful.
