Inventory Management Software
BassetPro, Standard Edition
SageData is based in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
For many different organisations, inventory management is a key activity.
Government Offices are required to maintain accurate records of IT equipment
purchased and disposed, police need to perform regular checks on weapons inventory, and
manufacturers need to keep material stocks to minimum whilst still ensuring that stock
never runs out.
BassetPro is a tool that uses inventory management software to make these tasks easy,
fast and accurate. There are several variants of BassetPro. This article describes the
Standard Edition.
Overview
Intelligence is key to the success of any project. In this sense,
intelligence means knowledge - knowing what you have, what is happening, and what issues
require attention.
BassetPro delivers information that enables critical decisions to be made, and as such,
it is a key tool for managers at all levels.
The delivery of information that is timely and accurate requires three steps: collection,
analysis and presentation.
SageData products are built around automatic identification, with mobile units used to
ensure that data collection is easy, fast, accurate and complete. This enables high
levels of data integrity. A user can rely on the accuracy and timeliness of the reports
from this system
What does BassetPro do?
These systems can be used in any material management situation. They are
used to track fixed assets, manage warehouse operations, and control dangerous materials.
The asset management variant is used by many Federal Government Departments for tracking
IT materials, laptops, servers, AV equipment. They are used by the RCMP for tracking
weapons, vehicles and radios, and for managing large scale events, including G7.
Who is SageData?
SageData are based in Ottawa, and have been supplying these systems to the Federal Government for more than 25 years. We have supplied nearly every Federal Government Department and Agency, and are currently providing material management services to track materials being removed and replaced on Parliament Hill.
How are these systems configured?
How would you like them to be configured?
We have installations on our servers, on client networks, or standalone (in many cases
for high level security). User interfaces can be configured to your exact requirements.
External interfaces permit information to be exchanged with a variety of backend systems,
including SAP, Peoplesoft, and Quickbooks.
Imagine
Once BassetPro is installed and operational, the receipt, deployment, audit
and disposal of equipment becomes extremely simple. Because asset tags with barcodes or
RFID are used to identify items, tracking activity or registering a move or disposal
becomes easy, fast and accurate.
Reporting is comprehensive and fast. So managers can have a full accounting. You can know
exactly what you have, exactly where it is, and exactly when it was last touched.
