Feedback
“OM Plus solved our problem so successfully that we implemented it in all of our North American Assembly plants.” (Toyota)
“Things could not be better with OM Plus. Plus Technologies is one of the best companies I have ever dealt with in my life!”
(Johnson Controls/Adient Auto Experience)
“I would highly recommend OM Plus to anyone looking for an easier way to manage documents and spool files in a high-volume
printing environment. The support I received from Plus Technologies both during the install and afterwards was fantastic. They really
care about getting you up and running and really go the ‘extra mile’ in providing assistance. They have a strong product that does
everything as promised. I have gone from spending 4-5 hours (and more) daily to less than 10 minutes per day managing my spool
files. I also get an email when one of our printers goes down so most of the time I am aware of the problem before the end-user.
Thanks for making my job a lot easier!” (Johnson Controls/Adient Auto Experience)
