About

VKS is a digital work instruction software that makes it easy for companies to throw out paper work instructions and transform into a digital factory. Create digital work instructions and standard operating procedures (SOPs) using pictures, videos, PDFs, annotations and more. Integrate in-process quality checklists to help reduce defects by up to 95%. Standardize best practices and increase productivity by 20%. With real-time process control and built-in reports, you also get 100% guaranteed traceability. By switching to digital work instructions, you can capture tribal knowledge and eliminate the skills gap. You also benefit from increased communication on the shop floor and the subsequent improved accuracy of your operational decision-making.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Documents,training and quality all link up together. Has the ability to create custom web forms to meet the specific needs of the company. It enables business process workflow.
  • - The best feature is definitely the fact that this is a web based tool that stores everything in the cloud and has no system dependency.

Cons

  • Such function is good but simple searches can turn up too many unnecessary results.
  • The UI can definitely be further simplified to remove unnecessary buttons that might confuse the uninitiated. Currently, it's also a bit difficult to get help information from the UI.
