FRMS
A Commitment to User Experience
Certrec is dedicated to ensuring a quality customer experience. Each year Certrec holds a user’s group meeting to gather feedback and to discuss continued feature improvements. The recent successful implementation of FRMS v2.0 included recommendations from user feedback to continuously improve the end user experience.
“The FRMS database has several excellent options for adding or removing schedules/hours for one or multiple individuals at the same time. FRMS provides fast entry and acceptance of data that helps the user finish the task in a timely manner. This is very important for those users (e.g., supervisor level) that must manage other work activities rather than just sitting by the desk and entering or removing schedules/hours.”
