All Collect family members other than Collect Warehouse, which can operate in standalone mode, require the basic transaction engine. The Collect engine manages RF and non-RF communication, messaging, data extraction and data mapping services and system configuration. Data extraction and mapping services allow any Collect product to use data from any ODBC compliant database for validation or other uses and write output data to any database or application that may require updating.

The Time & Attendance system utilizes core Collect 2000 functionality to make T&A available on mobile devices, touch screens, PC's and fixed station data collection terminals. Users can specify employees, shifts, supervisor-employee relationships, and early and late warning and error intervals for both clock-in and clock-out times. Collect Time & Attendance also provides request for leave / absence functionality with supervisor approval routing.

The Labor collection module can operate in standalone mode or in conjunction with the Time & Attendance system and is typically used to feed work in process labor data to an ERP system. Standard transactions include Direct Labor to a Work order, Repetitive or Cell based Labor and Indirect Labor. Collect Labor reporting will allow work order routing sequence completions to be captured or alternatively an operator may just capture time against a work order sequence and use a Material Move transaction to record sequence completions.

The Inventory module supports the following transactions:

The Work in Process module supports the recording of inventory related transactions such as:

The Purchase Receiving module supports the receipt of goods against open purchase orders. Purchase orders can be received with immediate update to the host ERP or they can be received to a 'staged' status, reviewed or inspected, correction can be made and then the final receipt data can be updated to the host ERP. Support for receipt by cross-reference codes such as vendor part number, vendor UPC code or any other available cross reference code is fully supported.

The RMA Receiving module supports the receipt of goods against open RMA's. The user enters the RMA number an a list of valid items to be received is displayed. The user then selects the item to receive, enters quantity and lot and serial numbers as appropriate and the data is sent to the host ERP system.

Many manufacturers and light distributors are faced with customer shipment compliance issues. Failure to ship the right product, the right quantity or failure to label packages per customer specification can result in significant penalties and potentially lost contracts. The Advanced Shipping modules provides a user with a comprehensive pick, pack, label print and ship capability that will meet the most stringent customer compliance needs.

The shipper has full control over how much 'control' they want to place on the pick-to-ship process. Supervisory reviews can be enforced. Proceeding from one step to another can be blocked if previous steps are not completed correctly.

The Advanced Shipping module is a prerequisite for the Shipping Documentation module.

All of the features of the Advanced Shipping module are also available for interplant shipping. When using the Shipping Documentation module Bills of Lading and Packing Lists can be printed as required.

In most ERP systems users lose visibility on the status of an order as it enters the shipping process. From 'allocation' to 'shipped' and order may be in shipping for hours or days. Typically once the order has been allocated, customer service cannot easily determine status until the order is shipped. The Advanced Shipping Web Portal allows users to review the status of shipping activity throughout the shipping process. Users can 'see' if the order is 'pick started', 'picked', 'confirmed', 'labels printed', 'loaded', 'load sealed' and 'shipped'. Once the order is shipped a user can review carrier and shipment information on-line.

The Shipping Documentation module supports printing of Bills of Lading, Packing Slips and Customs documentation. Consolidated Bills of Lading are automatically generated when multiple sales orders are going to the same ship-to address. Master Bills of Lading are automatically generated when the entire shipment is being sent to a distribution center for redirection to the end customer. Individual or consolidated Bills are printed for each sales order / ship-to address on the load when the load goes out under a Master BOL.
