Bar Coding
A powerful bar code solution
streamlines your entire business process.
You can collect data more quickly than ever before, and warehouse
and shipping/receiving staff can record bar coded items with
a scanner connected to a lightweight, completely portable handheld
computer
(HHC). An array of data can be gathered, validated and verified
in this way — not only inventory counts, but also quantities,
item numbers and lot/serial numbers of goods shipped and goods
received.
Instead of time-consuming manual data entry, the data can be
easily imported from the HHC and brought into your accounting
system.
Inventory errors are very costly to your business; bar coding
can can virtually eliminate data entry errors. Bar Coding can
automate procedures for dozens of employees, and many businesses
discover that implementation of a bar coding solution pays for
itself with the very first use.
Some of the features of a Bar Coding solution:
Bar
Code
Printing |
Bar
codes can be printed in either Bar Code 39 or Bar Code 128
format, and can be set up to print to
as many as 10 separate printers. |

of Handheld Computer Files to Workstation |
Files stored
on a handheld computer are uploaded into MAS 90 or MAS 200
Inventory, Purchase Order
Receipts and Sales Order invoice transaction files and Bill
of Materials Production and Disassembly entry,
without operator intervention. Once the handheld is plugged
in for upload, the operator can walk away and
the software handles the transfer of data automatically. |

previously been bar coded. |
| Sales Order Printing |

the item number on the sales order. |

cost codes can be entered on the handheld computer for inventory
issue transactions and
imported into Inventory Transaction Entry. |

invoice numbers can be entered on the handheld computer

Question:
How much should our company
budget for a mid-level accounting package? Answer:
One of the most commonly asked
questions which has a not-so-common answer. Accounting needs vary
widely from business to business and industry to industry. Large
contributors to the budget include:
- Number of Users
- Modules Needed
- Industry Specific Modules
- Integration to Legacy
Systems
- Integration to Front
Office applications such as CRM
- Customization, Reporting
Requirements and Consulting
- Data Conversion
- Training
|
|
On average, a mid-sized company
will pay between $25k and $250k for an accounting solution that
fits its needs. This figure also includes implementation and consulting
costs, which, typically have a one-to-one ratio with the cost
of the software.
Question:
What is Maintenance or a Subscription/Enhancement
Plan, and why do we need them?
Answer:
Software maintenance provides
you with enhancements to your software on an annual basis. For
instance, the software developer may release new functionality
such as payroll tax tables and forms which generally change from
year to year.
