“First Systems and Resource’s inventory management program enables Martha Jefferson Hospital to reduce our inventory and workload while successfully controlling our costs and easily maintaining control.” - Dana Trom Materiels Manager Martha Jefferson Hospital

FSR’s inventory management solutions provide customers with ultimate control over all their printed pieces. A combination of physical inventory-taking and cutting-edge Web technology, these solutions allow clients to:

• Know at all times (and in real time) how many pieces are on-hand, across multiple locations.
• Save money by ordering the right quantities at the right time.
• Eliminate rush orders and expedited freight charges.
• Prevent collateral obsolescence from over-ordering.
• Track usage over time and by department—the system even assigns dollar values to the usage numbers to feed the budgeting process.
• See images of their product online, issue releases and choose delivery location and shipping method.
• Give separate departments the ability to control their (and only their) inventory through distinct, restricted login accounts.

Reporting

“We have been using the FSR Web-based system for the last 18 months and are very pleased with it. We regularly use the warehouse and general reports; it has allowed us to significantly decrease the number of shortages. FSR really took away the pain of managing inventory with the convenience of the Web.” - Francois Martin WorldStrides

FSR’s Web-based inventory management system is extremely easy to learn and use. One of its most powerful features is its reporting. Clients can jump online and within seconds get an accurate picture of their inventory and usage, and issue releases for new orders. We have truly taken the stress and worry out of managing your print inventory.

Warehouse Reports

• Inventory – this report tracks and itemizes the inventory at an unlimited number of locations and provides total counts across locations. It also allows you to select a past date and see what the inventory was on that day.
• Usage – lets clients view usage over one-, three-, six-, and twelve-month periods, as well as over a user-defined date range. This report can be run by location or for all locations combined. View sample report.
• Status & Reorder – This highly useful predictive tool projects the dates when items will need to be re-ordered. Predictions are based on three values: usage; par level; and dates. View sample report.

General Reports

• Order Status – this report monitors the status of design and production jobs. Users can view order date, job status, ship date and order quantity.
• Order History – allows clients to look back over any date range to see their job history with FSR.
