Javelin 2013r1 empowers mobile stock status monitoring

Javelin's mobile stock data monitoring functionality enables hand-held devices such as scanners and tablets running terminal servers to be used to gather stock-in and -out data wirelessly. Specific displays created for the devices' small screens means that barcodes can be used to pick, locate and check stock, including confirmation that the correct stock is being despatched at the time of picking. A Multi Sales Issue function overcomes the time-consuming task of picking stock for individual sales orders. Stock can now be picked by customer, date, or even by the part itself, as well as the specific sales order. One screen shows all the sales orders relating to configurable parameters and stock is issued simply by ticking the relevant boxes. Time savings can also be achieved in ensuring serial number traceability with Serial Numbers Scan. If only part of an order is being despatched, the serial numbers of the items issued can be recorded, by either 'selecting' or 'deselecting' the smaller number of the total number of items. Javelin's CRM system includes a prospects database so that records can be held on a prospect without adding them as a customer. Users set their own classifications about what information is recorded, and it can all be linked to quotations and sales orders. An automatic, fully configurable link ensures that raising a quotation creates a diarised follow-up action. Sales Forecasting imports one or more sales predictions, amalgamating them into a master forecast, meaning companies can order material and begin manufacture in advance, against the forecast. Proof Of Delivery helps exporters meet new legislation which stipulates that businesses can't invoice customers until the goods arrive. This function optionally prevents raising of the invoice until Proof Of Delivery has been registered. Then it links scanned physical documents, including the signature sheet, for future reference. Invoices can now be sent electronically, and Crystal Reporting templates defined to meet individual customers' specific requirements. Program Nesting exports static nests to third party software, such as a CAD package, for material optimisation and CNC coding. One nest may need 10 programs to run 10 times each, and some just once. Importing that information back into Javelin ensures Shopfloor Data Capture records against individual program runs rather than the entire nest. Part Import for existing parts now allows users to choose specific fields instead of having to import every field.
