Technology:
ASC has created interfaces over
the past twenty years to talk
to virtually any external system.
From legacy IBM AS400's, and IBM 3090.
to Unix, to HP mainframes, to
many different ERP packages (including Microsoft Dynamics, Oracle, SAP, Macola, MAS90, Quickbooks, Sage, etc.), we
have successfully implemented
solutions for many clients. Today's interfaces use XML services for real time "event driven" architecture. With
our experience, and our API tool
set for ASCTrac interfacing,
every system can be
accommodated.
Warehouse Component:
Since ASCTrac ™ WMS utilizes
automatic identification bar code technology, in addition to
wireless bar code hand-held units, all warehouse data is accurate
and real time. At the point of activity in the warehouse, instant
verification occurs for all inventory transactions (such as
receipts, picks, moves, physical counts, cycle counts, repacks,
scraps, quality control holds and releases, parcel shipping, trailer
shipping, etc.) That means instant reconciliation if a picking error
occurs.
Moreover, with all of the management side of the
warehouse at stake, (i.e., labor resources, location utilization,
rapid picks, zone control, ABC logic, throughput capacities, burden
costs, planning, ASN/EDI, etc.), the deployment of ASCTrac ™ WMS simply makes good management sense.
Manufacturing Component:
In addition to our warehouse functions, ASCTrac ™ WMS has a very extensive manufacturing systems
environment. It provides modules for Work Orders, Manufacturing
Execution (MX), Work-in-Process Labor tracking, Work-in-Process
Inventory tracking (customizable), and various interfaces to PLC’s,
automatic labeling systems, conveyor systems, pick-to-light systems,
carousel systems, etc.
Benefits of Using ASCTrac-to-Any-external-system Interface:
- Compliments your Financial ERP investment with a true warehouse
management system
- Seamless integration with "data entered only once" concept (OE
drives the fulfillment)
- Increases ability to automate and speed up the invoicing
process
- Increases accuracy (which improves inventory and customer
satisfaction)
- Allows seamless warehouse multi-shipments per same order (may
be called "backorders")
- Utilize wireless real-time devices at the point of activity in
the warehouse (to insure immediate inventory movements and validate
data on the spot; eliminates batch-mode reconciliations)
- Employ auto-ID technology for accuracy and faster performance
with reduced labor costs
- If the financial system goes down for some reason, i.e., backup
procedures, the ASCTrac system is still running the warehouse.
ASCTrac is designed for full 24/7/365 without any shutdowns. It will
pick back up where it left off with the data synchronization once
the financial ERP is back up.
- Optionally, implement various manufacturing tracking solutions
with special interfaces
- Tested, proven, and uses a rapid deployment methodology
- ROI - Return On Investment in months, not years
