The system offers multiple workstations for easy user data entry or to override automated input. BLACKBIRD Roll Tracking ensures quality from the shop floor to the customer with its specification driven system. Orders and trims are easily imported through our advanced interfaces to PTMS Business Systems and to third party systems.
