Digital workflows have replaced paper on the shop floor and speed up regulated manufacturing
Definitely, AI in a regulated industry is something that is a concern of the clients. However, Tulip can stick to 21 CFR Part 11 strictly when it comes to Tulip's AI capabilities. Tulip has already started to look forward to compliance-related things. For example, Tulip's AI widget offers data reading throughout the site. It does not allow any AI to interact with external systems when we apply firewalls on it. In this regard, if Tulip continues in that way, they can definitely stick to the governance and security. As of now, I didn't face any issue related to their AI capabilities. It is working fine but not accurate, which is a red flag in a GXP regulated system. This is my feedback on their AI capabilities. This has been introduced into the latest LTS version and needs more hands-on experience. Before that, I cannot give a direct justification or feedback on their AI capabilities being reliable and accurate. However, at the extent that I have used them, they are accurate and reliable as of now. Tulip is an emerging platform and being a cloud-native MES, it has a lot to improve. According to me, traditional MES like FactoryTalk PharmaSuite has more complex features and user-oriented use cases and complexities that the application itself handles. However, when it comes to Tulip, all the things that matter are in the hands of a developer. That is something that Tulip can improve on. Tulip can switch to a traditional way of delivering in the pharmaceutical industry while keeping the cloud-native impact intact. One improvement that I can give an example of is that Tulip has application templates. Instead of templates, they can offer concrete applications to their pharmaceutical or any specific industrial client for their specific needs, such as a recipe designer and production management for a pharmaceutical client. Then production or material tracking or BOM tracking for a discrete client. In that way, I can see an improvement where Tulip can perform well.

Headless commerce flexibility has enabled me to build custom front ends and integrate third party APIs
Their documentation is comprehensive, but I noticed that the Commerce Academy course content was outdated and not enough for me to clear the certificate. However, their documentation and GitHub code samples were more comprehensive and helpful in understanding and upskilling in VTEX. What stood out is the flexibility and the MERN stack tech stack that VTEX uses. This is why I gave it an eight. I did not give it a ten because during development, there were some performance issues with load times, and the Commerce Academy platform content and video content is not up to date. I had to refer to the documentation every time for the latest content. Regarding VTEX Commerce Platform's AI capabilities, they have AI integrated in their admin interface where I can ask questions related to their settings. However, I do not find that useful because it was not working properly at times, it was not giving responses, or it was throwing errors. This made me stop using that AI. The AI integration is not capable enough or is not fully integrated and needs improvement.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Tulip is really about empowering people to build applications, and those people who build the applications are not necessarily only technical experts or developers."
"We have achieved significant profit in our organization, building around one hundred apps in the last three years using Tulip that are all in production and running successfully, with huge accolades and appreciations from clients."
"For projects that would take two to three days in other applications, Tulip allows us to complete them in one day."
"One of the best features that Tulip offers is having a bunch of connections with third-party tools such as ERPs and specific quality tools, just to have correct traceability of what is the concern about one client or something similar."
"Organizations should start using Tulip as soon as possible."
"In a general sense, I can say a client saves 60 to 70 percent when it comes to Tulip compared to the traditional MES when it comes to money."
"Tulip has changed my life, as I started using it just for making some inventory, and now I'm moving forward to digitalize 100% of the facility."
"Before, we needed many resources to monitor the production control area, but now, with Tulip, we can fulfill requirements and accomplish business objectives with a minimal amount of resources."
"VTEX Commerce Platform has positively impacted my organization by making my work easier and having a positive impact overall."
"VTEX Commerce Platform stands out as a headless commerce platform that offers customizability and flexibility to add our own features."
 

Cons

"In terms of integration and analytics, I do not see any other special features that Tulip provides that other modern market solutions do not provide, such as Ignition, Siemens Opcenter, and many other applications."
"Regarding the needed improvements for Tulip, regarding integration that you mentioned, because you have a bunch of features of third-party connections, it is not enough."
"I believe it is still at the beginning and not really advanced for the part I was using, so it could be improved."
"Regarding Tulip's AI capabilities, I perceive that it is not yet mature and is still in the testing phase, with several features rolled out for end users."
"Tulip can be improved to have a lower entry point."
"One area Tulip can be improved is addressing the issue that arises when multiple users use the same data tables for Tulip applications."
"Tulip can improve by providing additional features developers can use in the application."
"However, if you want a much larger version with better scalability and more UI features, you can consider other products."
"I do not find it easy to manage all my stores and products from one place in VTEX Commerce Platform, as the dashboards are somewhat sparse in analytical information despite making it easy to manage all the stores from one place."
"I did not give it a ten because during development, there were some performance issues with load times, and the Commerce Academy platform content and video content is not up to date."
