26/01/2011 PSL DataTrack
With the current economic situation looking more favourable than it has done for some time, an increasing number of engineering sub-contractors are having to face up to the challenge of how to run their businesses efficiently. As the number of customers and the numbers of individual orders and batches increase, should they look to employ extra staff to undertake the associated administration or look or manage it with industry focussed software?For an increasing number of companies, DataTrack, the industry leading production and business software for the sub-contract manufacturing sector, is providing a solution. It allows businesses to drastically reduce overheads and administrative tasks, resulting in closer control of processes as well as much more efficient communication.
The capabilities of DataTrack include the basics such as the preparation of quotations, detailing how jobs will be processed and preparing route cards. However, the modular system can be expanded and used throughout a whole business operation and provide functions such as an invoicing capability, advanced purchasing functions, sequential scheduling to calculate a machine's capacity and shopfloor data collection. Gauge control/management can also be added as well as non-conformance capabilities in order to manage, audit and monitor both customer and supplier product quality.
There is a range of flexible DataTrack editions available. With the entry level "Evolution" customers get the software and functionality to manage essential sales and purchasing functions, from estimate to invoice, together with component and material stock control. "Precision" is designed for larger businesses where scheduling, shop floor data collection and job costings are more critical. "Contract" is designed for companies involved in large or small, simple or complex assemblies whilst "Ultimate" meets the requirements of companies with the most demanding and varied types of manufacture.
All PSL DataTrack editions can be specified to run real-time Status Boards, connect to external systems such as accounting, tooling and material storage systems and can provide EDI links where necessary.
