"Where's My
Stuff"
National Technology Services Warehouse Management System (NTSWMS) is a very
cost-effective bundled software/hardware solution for managing inventory
quantities, locations, and history. The minimum configuration includes a
Windows PC program, batch (not RF) Workabout Laser Scanner handheld computer,
Workabout program, and 1 year of support. It includes many features for
RECEIVING, SHIPPING, MOVEMENTS, ADJUSTMENTS, and INVENTORY as well as bar code
labeling. There are many reports available at the touch of a button. (See below for more detailed list, including KITTING, EXPIRATION DATES, DEPRECIATION, and HISTORY.)
NTSWMS is designed to be an easy to use, user installable, turnkey solution. You can read the User Manual and be up and running in less than an hour. But the programmers who developed the program are available to provide support if you need it. And the same programmers are standing by to customize the inventory management system to suit your needs.
You can use the handheld to update the PC however often you like. So why spend upwards
of $100,000 on a Radio Frequency real-time system if updating your PC every hour,
half hour, or more often, is sufficient? When you can't justify an RF real-time
system, but still need a warehouse management system to organize your inventory
product flow, then NTSWMS is your answer.
Asset Tracking, Too
NTSWMS is also great for tracking assets. Where are your desks, chairs,
computers, etc.? Would you like to know when something was moved, from where,
to where, and who did it? Would you like to see your asset cost by item or by
location? How about finding out who has that file folder? You can print your own bar codes using our bar code printer, or we
can supply you with durable preprinted serialized bar code labels. If you want
to track your assets, with bar code scanning handheld computers and instant
reporting, then NTSWMS is your answer.
