Pirros empowered Buehler employees to stay organized and efficient, especially for new employees as they get integrated into the company. Pirros took Buehler's well organized system of detail management and brought it to the next level with a searchable, easy to navigate graphical interface.
Advice for Others:
“If you don't have a system to organize your details, Pirros can help fix that problem. As a company grows and expands, it's crucial to have standard details. Pirros aids in establishing that standardization. Pirros simplifies the complexities we face in managing details. It's not just a tool; it's a game-changer for our practice.” - Kevin Cissna, SE, Associate Principal at Buehler
