A powerful bar code solution, beginning with the implementation of the Sage MAS 90 software and Sage MAS 200 software Bar Code Solution module, 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 Sage MAS 90 software or Sage MAS 200 software system. Inventory errors are very costly to your business, and the Bar Code Solution, with its advanced bar coding features, 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.

Features

• Unattended Upload of Handheld Computer Files to Workstation - Files stored on a handheld computer are uploaded into Sage MAS 90 software or Sage MAS 200 software Inventory, Purchase Order Receipts and Sales Order invoice transaction files and Bill of Materials completion 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.
