Cribs
A "crib" usually refers to a tool container or any other kind of container that contains items that are tracked. It is sometimes called a "tool crib". TrackAbout provides some function that allow users to capture items removed from a crib and send the data regarding the items removed up to the web site. The data is saved to a flat file and clients picks it up via FTP.
Overview
- Collect part number and quantities for reorders in the field
- Pass this information back to your business system to create orders
- For tool cribs in particular, allow for taking an inventory of the inventory of the crib and sending this inventory back to the business system
- Handheld computers can be given to the customer and locked into a Crib Inventory mode so they are just used for this one function for the customer
