   A Brief History:
Visual Inventory Software was developed in the beginning as a simple inventory software. As time went on and it's popularity grew , the actual customers had a large part in the system design. One customer's purchasing department requested detailed shipping information, including Terms, Ship Via , Shipping Account numbers Vendor Tax calculation and Non-Inventory item logging. This was the first step to bringing this small business management system to the top. With the next customer we worked with the stockroom personal to idenitfy what they needed for a stockroom Inventory Software. This included barcode labels with support for all types of barcode scanners and a powerful wireless requisition system. We also worked closly with the engineering department who requested the strongest part of this Barcode Inventory system. They needed to find the correct inventory part with the least amount of information. The stock scan screen was built to accommodate their needs. It includes an nine-method stock search engine allowing the user to search by stock number , manufacturing part number , category , manufacturing name , supplier / vendor name and a unique part name search capability. With the power of this screen alone , the company saved thousands of dollars in engineering costs.    What really made this Inventory software all come together were the part images. The purchasing department can use the pictures to visually describe the part to different venders for second souring. The Stockroom personal use the pictures for verifying the correct part is received and placed in the proper inventory bin. And once again the engineering department just loved the pictures because it shows them if they have really found the inventory part that they wanted regardless what the description said. Several new features have been requested by our current and new customers. Each customer request continues to add more power and has brought this Inventory Software to the top. One of the major new additions was the ability to link the drawing and document specification of the parts and assembles to the inventory system. The latest new feature is Bill Of Material Management. In this mode, the system becomes a full Manufacturing Software Solution. This includes Bill Of Material maintenance , Work Order Processing , finding Where Parts are Used and detailed shortage information along with an Engineering Change Order Screen for Revision Control. Multiple warehouse inventory support has also been added, enabling a user to create a single purchase order and receive it into several warehouses. Along with this addition it was necessary to create an extremely detailed purchase order history report. After this report became available another customer requested an Inventory Item history which displays all activity of a single part including Purchase , Sales , Requisition , work order and Inventory Adjustments. Another modification was made to allow the system to work with a web driven Inventory shopping cart. This allows usere to log into a web shopping cart and browse the inventory. The web user can add items to their cart then complete the order by checking out. This will create a pending order in the software. The order can then be processed to a sales order and print a kit list. The advantage of a Web Shopping Cart is that the users do not need the inventory software installed on their computer. This Software continues to be enhanced through requests of current and new customers.
