	Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros One of our key customers notified us they would be sending a team of 3 auditors to audit our non-existent quality system against ISO 9001 in two months. We talked to a bunch of people about software and consulting options to get us ready in that amount of time, and pretty much all of them couldn't help laughing at how impossible that would be, except TLM. The best laugh during this audit, however, was from our TLM representative connect to the audit via Teams, who after doing a stellar job helping us use TLM to get all our documents released, audits conducted, management review documented, etc., he heard one of the auditors ask, "so how long have you been ISO registered?" Needless to say, they were very happy and had zero findings to report. I've been using TLM for more than 10 years, I would say it has improve overtime. With new features and easy interface. It does not require extensive training to use . It manages our ISO 17025 documentation requirements and it has the exceptional technical support whenever we require. David is always ready to assist on any issues we encounter. I think what I like best about TLM is the positive affect it had on my job satisfaction. If you still have to manage a paper based QMS, and convincing the boss to spend a little on software seems challenging, then this is the software that can make your daily routines much easier to manage, and the boss won't freak out about the cost. Cost effective can often translate into dismal support, but somehow with TLM the opposite is true. They are quick to respond, and quick to update anytime I'm trying to implement something new and need a little help. Highly recommended! Several years ago, we had the TLM staff convert our manual QMS into their TLM software product and were very pleased with the results. Recently however, we also converted to their new hosted system with the new web app and that improvement was worth leaving a review about. The hosted version has much faster performance and the web app makes document access and document control super easy to work with. We highly recommend this product, especially for smaller companies who will benefit twice, once by getting all your QMS documents under electronic control and distribution, and again by how affordable the system is. Flexibility and customer support is awesome! Our business is reinsurance and we are located in Zambia Africa. So we needed software to control and approve various document types and to process claims. TLM was able to use a combination of the Industry system setting, along with the custom field system to make a the customer feedback module handle claims that were linked to the Purchase Order module for approval of the dollar amounts along with several other features. TLM can also support our local installation with remote access and no issue has every been left unresolved or has there been any surprise costs after more than a year using TLM for managing our key business processes. Cons This is more of a con in terms of the added cost and effort in general of implementing a fully ISO compliant quality system, which as a small company of only about 6 people, we just were not ready for yet. While we can see the benefits and have plans to implement our system at a later date, for now we have to put this on hold. Luckily TLM is able to suspend our system until we are truly ready, which is another pro for them for sure. Since some of our user PC does not use the same MS versions, so we have some difficulty adapting that could results on some error on the software . Nevertheless, it was resolved swiftly. It does contains quite a lot of modules , but not necessarily applicable for ISO17025, however, you have options to hide those. Several years ago when we purchased the software for a local installation, their new web app wasn't available. Back then I would have said the only con is that the main application is so capable, new users can feel overwhelmed as it is so easy to drill down into related information that TLM can present a lot of information all at once. For me that's a great thing but trying to get others into the system who don't live and breathe quality, they can easily get intimidated. Their new web app solves this issue brilliantly, and new users have zero complaints and can log in and be productive with practically zero training needed! The main TLM app still uses a Windows type of interface, and while some might think that's a con, we use the more flexible pop-up windows that the main application provides to be much more productive as we move around the software, so we understand why this administrative interface was kept as is. All of our picky users happily use the web app for their tasks, so basically the right tool for the job keeps everyone happy. Our management wasn't comfortable with a hosted system so we are using TLM on our own server. We were also using that server for other software as well as acting as a workstation for a couple users. Somehow this created some issues with the TLM database, but the TLM support staff stuck with the issue until we finally uninstalled unnecessary software and everything is working great now.
