Building on momentum gained in 2020 and the beginning of this year, which saw major manufacturing customer wins and expansion even amid the pandemic, Ease, Inc has continued its upward trajectory by scooping several wins in G2's Spring Awards 2021.

EASE - the audit and insights software for manufacturers - has been recognised in the Easiest to Use, Best Relationship, Best Meet Requirements and Best Usability categories. Ease also claimed the title of Leader, Momentum Leader and Users Love Us once again, after winning these awards in G2's Winter Awards in 2020. Not only did EASE collect awards in the Quality Management System category, but for the first time was named as a leader in Environmental Health and Safety software.

EASE has also risen up Gartner Peer Insights' review ladder in its Quality Management System Software Market ratings. The company has been noted for its customer service and user-friendly technology. Of the companies that have received at least five reviews, EASE has the highest user rating.

Eric Stoop, CEO of Ease, says the award wins and Gartner Peer Insights rating is testament to EASE's customer service efforts and easy-to-use technology that meets the specific audit requirements of manufacturers.

Eric comments: "To receive such recognition from our peers and the people using our platform is a major testament to our team and technology, and we are extremely appreciative of this recognition. Of course it continues to be a difficult time for the manufacturing industry as it battles against the pandemic, so we are delighted to have achieved such major successes. We look forward to building on this momentum throughout the year ahead."

During a turbulent time since the pandemic broke out in March, which saw worldwide factory shutdowns and global output fall by an estimated 8%, Ease achieved double-digit growth in 2020, and 100% growth year over year in plant floor audits conducted on its platform. EASE also secured high-profile customers including ABB, Continental AG and Hitachi Automotive Systems, and established a new UK team to grow its influence in the EMEA market - contributing to 400 manufacturing plants going live throughout 2020, particularly within the automotive sector.
