## Reviews

### "Best solution for managing simultaneous design and build of machines" — 5.0/5

> **Matt** | *10 August 2026* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I have worked with a few MRP systems and IMPS is the definite standout, it fits around how we want to work rather than us fitting around it.
The development team include people with real life experience of what is needed to manage to delivery of complex engineering machines, they listen to feedback and IMPS has grown to better suit our changing needs.
Customer support is fast and friendly.
> 
> **Cons**: Sometimes the freedom IMPS offers can be a dual-edged sword, allowing less experienced users to make fixable mistakes - but the time saved not being trapped behind a unnecessary software blocks makes up for it
> 
> IMPS is easy and logical to use.
It is build around the philosophy of giving the user control to do what they need to do rather than forcing or limiting actions.
It links directly to CAD software automatically synchronising key data. It manages revision control, document control, engineering part data, BOM data, procurement and stock with strong automated links to other software.
The transfer from our previous system to IMPS as quick and seamless, with all of our important existing data transferred.
