This is what our customers say about BMS

"Bräuner A/S replaced a lot of complex spread sheets with a single, user-friendly campaign and KAM forecast in Effectmakers BMS".

”As a customer, you have the feeling that Effectmakers BMS
is developed directly in line with – and on the basis of – hands-on knowledge of the industry. It gives you confidence in the system”.
