FM Forum
FactoryMaster invites all our customers to join the
FactoryMaster forum, which aims to improve the way we communicate with you.
It also offers a library of useful 'how to' guides on FactoryMaster's products.
The more the forum is used by our customers, the more it will help us identify those
issues which need addressing as a priority. By helping us identify common issues
we can create the 'how to' guides.
There is a specific area for any questions you may want to ask our team directly.
As more questions are posted and discussion threads occur, this will help create
a rich informative online resource, easily accessible and searchable.
Our wish list section of the forum allows you to suggest functionality and features
that you would like to see in future FactoryMaster releases. The more popular a
suggestion is, the more likely we can accommodate your request.
*Please note the forum requires you to register to access the content – Please can you choose a username that incorporates your company name for us to identify you. Many thanks
