When Should you Recommend Scanco? When your prospect/customer….

1. Would like to install barcoding incrementally.

Customers are often more comfortable with a phased implementation approach. The Lite Automation
Series offers basic shipping, receiving, warehouse transfers and physical counts and can be implemented
for under $5,000 (including hardware and software). The Pro and Elite levels of the Automation Series take
those basic processes but add a level of sophistication. Customers can add functionality as they need it
and build to a full warehouse management system.
2. Needs to add aliases to Inventory Maintenance.
Customers that receive in products with barcodes on them need to be able to scan that barcode and
associate it with their item number in MAS 90/MAS 200. Scanco’s handheld solutions support that
functionality so that receiving isn’t interrupted when a vendor changes a part number unexpectedly.
3. Must scan outside of wireless coverage.
Validation is key to a strong barcoding solution. The Automation Series can download all open sales
orders, frozen items and purchase orders and validate against that data even when wireless coverage is
not available.
4. Manufactures products.
Manufacturing is often overlooked when customers are looking at barcoding but recording labor and
materials manually is a long and error-prone process. Scanco’s Shopwatch product eliminates the manual
entry of every Work Order transaction and Bill of Materials tracks assembly and disassembly with a few
simple scans.
5. Has delivery trucks.
Tracking the distribution process extends beyond the warehouse for may companies. RealTime Route
verifies deliveries against the original order, prints invoices and more.
6. Needs flexible reporting capability.
Scanco has completely revamped the Barcode Module in version 4.4 to include robust reporting
capability. Customers can ask questions like, “Who shipped the most orders?” and find out in a matter of
seconds.
7. Needs Job Cost integration.
If your prospect/customer issues material to jobs, Scanco can automate that process. The software simply
prompts for the job number and applies the cost of that item against the job.
8. Ships a high volume of orders.
Wave picking, or grouping orders to pick more efficiently, is necessary for companies that ship a high
volume of orders. Scanco’s Directed Picking enhancement will lead the handheld user through the
warehouse in the most efficient path so that orders are processed quickly and accurately.
9. Is considering an upgrade to MAS 500.
All of Scanco’s hardware is compatible with MAS 500 Warehouse Automation. If a customer is
considering an upgrade, it’s important to know that the hardware investment will not be wasted.
10. Needs to print barcodes when receiving product.
MASPrint Designer, Scanco’s barcode printing product, is completely integrated to the receiving process
on the handheld. When a customer is receiving in product that is not barcoded, they can simply push a
button on the handheld to generate the barcode.
