    They have file cabinets, they have labs they use, and they just kind of store even if they have scans or they have an existing QMS, it's there, but you're not letting your data work for you and, and again, stepping in and shoring up ourStandard Operating Procedures. I usually spend the first probably month as a fly on the wall before I before I've made a single move, written a single document.

    I want to know where we're at. But I've done it enough now that I can assume some things right away. And Out of Specs have been the easy, low hanging fruit early and often win that I get at every company I've started that.

I mean, a lot of times that I've been at many companies where they'll have one system that they're managing their suppliers and their specs in another, that they're, they're managing their artwork approvals and review and another that they're managing their training and they're paying a very substantial amount for each individual system, whereas Unifize puts it all together at once and then connects them end to end.
