On using GAGEtrak	“Good program to keep tool calibrations up to date.”

Alcoa's Scott Lockwood has used GAGEtrak for years and notes that GAGEtrak was chosen because of its tracking features. Prior to GAGEtrak, the company used paper files to track calibrations. GAGEtrak has helped Alcoa most by tracking which tools and gages are due.

When asked about his favorite features, Lockwood highlighted "tracking and record cloning" as the most valuable features for his day-to-day needs. The Lafayette location has participated in product training classes and also subscribes to the maintenance and support offered for GAGEtrak.

Lockwood notes that GAGEtrak support services and training are good and that he has received "great service when I call in." In addition to training (regional and on-site), consultation services and support services, CyberMetrics offers many optional enhancement products for GAGEtrak to help customers get the most out of their GAGEtrak software.
