How it works
(Client/Server 5.3 and AutoCrib.net)
Intelligent Dashboard for key system metrics at a glance
In today’s world of report overload, it’s often difficult to keep up. AutoCrib’s intelligent dashboard compiles many reports into a simple, easy-to-use, color-coded screen that presents actionable data (where Red is bad, and Green is good).
Just click on any chart and the system drills down and shows you exactly what needs attention (i.e., what items are in a stock-out condition and need to be reordered immediately). Of course, there are over 200 standard reports like:
- Re-order reports
- Projected stock outs
- Inventory value
- Consumption reports by department, job, and employee
- Slow and dead inventory
- And more — everything you need to manage your indirect expenses, cut costs, and boost productivity
Full purchasing and receiving system with Demand-Based Purchasing
You’ll easily manage purchasing and receiving, communicate with multiple suppliers, and receive immediate notification of a critical item shortage. But AutoCrib’s proprietary Demand-Based Purchasing System takes simplicity and productivity to the next level. Using AutoCrib’s advanced inventory algorithm, you will never have to set or adjust a min/max, reorder point, or reorder quantity again!
The system constantly reviews actual demand, and makes its buying decisions based on how you actually consume the inventory. Further, this system will virtually eliminate the possibility of any more slow or dead inventory coming into your facility.
Manage purchase orders, stock transfers, adjustments, and more. AutoCrib Software can be used in conjunction with a distributor managing your automated dispensing system - or as your primary purchasing and receiving system.
No stock-outs — ever — with automatic reorder
When your inventory runs low, AutoCrib software will automatically send a purchase order to the supplier to replenish your stock, based on your actual usage. Downtime due to stock-outs will become a thing of the past.
Powerful search capability saves time for users
Users can search for any item throughout the AutoCrib system from any AutoCrib vending machine (keypad or touch screen), IntelliPort, or Tool Crib Station.
By signing in and selecting “Issue”, the user will be presented with a list of all the items that user is authorized to access. The user can then narrow the list, by typing in any portion of the name of the item desired, an item code, or a description. Pictures of the item can also be viewed, to confirm the correct item.
When the user selects “Locate”, the AutoCrib system will find the desired item anywhere it exists in your facility
