It fixed an issue where we are able to get all of our information in one spot. We have 23 different manufacturing plants whose systems do not communicate with each other. Campfire Interactive allowed us to bring all of our data into one platform.

The feature I appreciate the most about Campfire Interactive is probably the forecasting module, the way it links to IHS for the IHS forecast.

From a technical standpoint, there are some limitations within the tool that are somewhat out of Campfire Interactive's control because it's a complicated industry to try and have one solution that fits all vendors. There are times when we go to execute reports from their system, and the data does not generate as expected.

Regarding BI Reporting, the standard reporting module within Campfire Interactive primarily gives you an Excel data dump, and while there are some visualizations for creating dashboards, I found those limited for my needs. We started presenting the data to Microsoft Power BI, which is much better for generating the reports I want.

I do not prefer the role-based access controls in Campfire Interactive. The role-based system makes sense on paper, but a company such as ours, where people wear multiple hats and different people have multiple roles in some cases, makes it very difficult at times to assign the correct people in the process. I've asked for years to give me, as an admin in the system, the ability to ignore the role and just select the person I want assigned to a task, because the role-based system makes it way more complicated than that.

The UI itself is not very user-friendly. The reporting out of it isn't very user-friendly either.

One aspect that could be simplified with Campfire Interactive is the process of entering opportunities into the portal. Currently, if we receive a quotation for 20 parts, we can enter one opportunity in our homegrown system that allows us to list all 20 parts within that single opportunity, but Campfire Interactive requires creating separate opportunities for each part.

One area where Campfire Interactive can improve is their reporting tool, as I believe that area is very weak at the moment.

Because Campfire Interactive is seen as a standalone system, I do not think that it would be scalable at this point within my company.

We still have not seen a return on investment because we are not fully implemented; we are still using two software systems and making the transition probably within the next month, so I cannot say for sure right now as that is still an ongoing process.
