Frequently Asked Questions |
 |
|
|
|
|
How can we implement eTMS if we don't
use tool management software today? |
|
|
How
do you price the eTMS product? |
|
|
eTMS is designed for easy
implementation. Whether your system is based on cards,
tokens, or trust, eTMS can easily provide tool management
functionality for your enterprise or facility. Simply load
your tool inventory to the system, assign employee
identifiers, and complete some basic configuration steps.
You can quickly issue and return tools and manage your
inventory. From there, you can use the full power of eTMS
for calibration, inventory, procedures, etc. |

|
|
|
We license consistent with
how you do business and invite you to add as many users to
our system as you wish. Pricing is based on the number of
facilities using the system. Since we know you have no
reasonable way to track licensed or concurrent users, WE
DO NOT REQUIRE USER COUNT TRACKING! Instead, we look at
the number of tool rooms where the system will be used and
number of physical plants/locations. |

What are the technical
requirements |
|
|
Will eTMS run in a browser? |
|
|
Our system runs on the
Oracle database and application server. We are always
current with the newest Oracle database products. We also
support the database to within two versions of the current
release. We can arrange hosting service for the system if
you do not have the IT infrastructure to access it. |
|
|
|
|
ABSOLUTELY! Because we use
industry leading Oracle development and database tools,
the same version of our software that delivers
client-server functionality also delivers a true web-based
version. That means you don't have multiple systems to
maintain -- just one eTMS. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Will eTMS support bar code scanners? |
|
|
What will be required of my IT team? |
|
|
Yes. We leverage industry
leading wedge bar code interfaces. That means that we do
not require use of a specific brand of scanner. This
is by far the most flexible approach to bar code use.
Wireless scanners are also supported. We require use
of real time scanners to ensure accuracy in tool tracking
and management. |
|
|
|
|
The requirements can be
minimal. At the low end, eTMS needs a server to store the
database and run the application. We can handle the other
details of setting you up and getting you running for a
firm, flat, fixed fee. If your IT team wants to be more
involved, we are happy to collaborate to have them
install, configure and populate the system. |

Announcements 
TMS version 4.2 is here!
There are several new features in version 4.2 but the
major enhancement is the addition of the Rental Module:
This feature allows you to manage bulk rental activities and
billing data for all tool rentals. Rental and shipments of
tools to project locations throughout the enterprise are
supported"
Since all information is maintained in eTMS along with the
operational tool room functions like check-in check-out, tool
status and locations are accessible regardless of what remote
project tools may be located at.
Billing functions are designed to be modified to fit your
business needs.
There are many other new features too numerous to mention. |
