Inventory Workgroup, intended for use with up to 50 users, offers much of the
functionality delivered in Inventory Enterprise, while using SQL Server as the
database, instead of Oracle. This eliminates the cost and maintenance involved
with an Oracle based application, but still maintains a robust solution suitable
for a smaller group's needs. Inventory Workgroup manages container data for an
organization through an easy to use thick client Windows interface. Learning to
use and administer the application is quick and straightforward due to the
familiar user interface elements incorporated into the
application.
Inventory Workgroup is included in ChemOffice
Workgroup Ultra and ChemOffice
Workgroup Pro, and is sold as an option to ChemOffice
Workgroup Std.
Features
Included
Inventory Desktop
Customized
Report Generation / Creation
Built-in report generator. Use a wizard to
rapidly generate new report templates. Customize report templates specific to
your site's needs. Create reports (with sorted data) for search results or
location contents. Reports can be exported to a variety of formats including
PDF, HTML, Excel, RTF and JPEG. Email reports on the fly.
Cascading
Location Model / Inventory
A fully cascading location model. Laboratories
can decide for themselves the granularity of their locations. Some labs may
define locations as wells on plates residing on shelves inside refrigerators,
which, in turn, are found in laboratories. Another lab may decide to track
reagents at the bench or cabinet level. Still, in other settings, it may suffice
to track chemicals on a lab-by-lab basis.
Barcode
Generation / Inventory
Assigns unique barcodes for each container in
the system. Simply print the barcode and attach it to the container.
Material
Safety Data & ChemACX
Add and search your own Material Safety Data
Sheets (MSDS), as well as search from over 20,000 MSDS within ChemACX.
Duplicate
Checking / Inventory
Duplicates are detected according to the key
fields the user defines (e.g. structure, CAS number, and Substance Name).
Container
Management / Inventory
Containers are created to represent actual
containers in your facility. Each container is assigned a unique barcode, which
can be printed, using a customized format, from the Inventory interface. Users
are able to check in and out, move, and duplicate containers at will.
Searching
/ Inventory
Every field in a record, including chemical
structure, molecular formula and molecular weight are searchable. The
application includes a number of specially designed inventory search forms.
Search results are returned in list form. Inventory Manager also gives users the
ability to search the ChemACX Database to speed reagent purchasing decisions.
