Kirkland, Wash.-based software developer Dynamic Systems has launched a new feature for its SIMBA traceability application.
The application provides production and inventory tracking and traceability reporting using bar-code technology, according to a news release.
The SIMBA software application records inventory from receiving through production, storage and shipping, the release said. The first step for a processor or distributor is to receive the new product into raw materials inventory.
For companies that receive cartons that are labeled with a GS1 bar code, the new receiving feature reduces the receiving steps to one scan, according to the release.
Dynamic Systems said SIMBA’s database is automatically populated with the information that is tied to the GS1 code. What this means for the company is less time spent at the receiving dock, faster recognition of raw materials for production, and error-free inventory data, according to the release.
Key results from implementing the SIMBA system include increased productivity; the ability to get accurate production and inventory reports; full end-to-end traceability; elimination of duplicate data entry and reporting at time of shipping, all in real-time, the release said.
