The process of finding defects in a product and fixing the defect is very critical. Having defective products can cost companies a substantial loss in profitability. Defect tracking was designed to implicate inspection, testing, or recording feedback from customers and making new versions of the product or products that fix the defect.

Thin client defect tracking allows defect tracking to be done at multiple locations due to the fact the program is installed on one centralized server. Thin client can convey input and output between the user and the remote server. Thin client defect tracking software can have tens, hundreds or thousands of defects. Managing, evaluating an prioritizing these defects is a difficult task but defect tracking systems are computer database systems that store defects and help people manage them.

A good example of thin client defect tracking is the ability to have one company with five different plant locations. Each one of these plants have different processes and may run different lines and parts all run on the same program. Thin client does not have to be installed on each individual computer to have the ability to communicate with each other and each location. If you could imagine each plant having forty or more computers that would take a lot of time to set up each program which ends up being very costly.

To learn more about thin client you can check out this great website I found. It discusses thin client ERP software. I found it very helpful!
