Integrated job costing, tracking software developed for small to midsized manufacturers

Dynamic Systems Inc. has released CheckMate Manufacturers' Suite software for small to midsized manufacturers. It integrates applications such as WIP Lite, job costing with time and attendance, stockroom inventory control, toolroom tool tracking, and capital asset tracking. The applications share the inventory database and employee identification codes, making it possible to cost jobs and track important assets without data entry.

The software can track and cost jobs, maintain an account of inventory, gather payroll information, and keep track of important tools in an integrated system. Bar codes are printed on work orders, badges, and labels for tools and inventory. Bar code scanners record the movement or use of the job or item. This information is transmitted to accounting, sales, or purchasing to produce job costing reports, employee attendance information, and parts reorder reports.

Users can set minimum and maximum levels for the same inventory item in multiple locations and can attach five different items per record. Signature capture on a portable terminal provides proof of delivery of tools or inventory items.
