Additional Capabilities for Global Shop Solutions

Simplified Label Printing Module

Avoid the complications that can come with printing from a non-integrated label software. When you include Label Printing in your Global Shop Solutions ERP software, label information is automatically pulled direct from the source application, which means no duplicate data entry, complex merging, or field matching is required. Have trust and confidence in the accuracy of your labels as mailing and shipping labels pull their addresses directly from your Global Shop Solutions CRM application, and bin labels are created right from your Material and Inventory Solutions application, to name a few. The tight integration between CODESOFT and Global Shop Solutions results in greater efficiency helping you to ship a quality part on time, every time.

Simplified Label Printing

No more manual data entry. No more incorrect labels. No more extracting data from a file to drop into label templates. Easily create, print, and reprint the labels you need to run your small business much more efficiently and meet your customers’ deadlines.

Mobile Printing to Streamline Your Day-to-Day

Moving physical inventory around the shop floor is quick and easy with Global Shop Solutions Label Printing. Print barcode labels on the spot during physical inventory counts. Move tickets can be scanned into the system and then printed with a portable label printer from anywhere on the shop floor.

CODESOFT Labels are the Standard Selection

CODESOFT labels are set as the Global Shop Solutions standard sequence as part of our continued expansion of our Teklynx integration. Existing Crystal Report and Bartender labels are and will continue to be available under user sequence codes.

CAD Interface Application Module

No longer will your engineer have to sit for hours each week writing bills of material (BOMs). With Global Shop Solutions CAD Interface, give them back time to do the things that matter to your business and affect your bottom line. Engineering can seamlessly import the dynamic bill of material (BOM) into Global Shop Solutions ERP software from your CAD software, removing the task of manual data entry. Get your BOM into your ERP system and on the shop floor faster and error-free. Through our fully-integrated system, your engineer is then able to use the imported BOM to compare to the material and inventory located in your global shop solutions ERP software to make certain each job has the needed material to complete on time and on budget.

Seamless Integration with Your Design Programs

Global Shop Solutions CAD Interface flawlessly integrates with SolidWorks®, Solid Edge™, and Autodesk Inventor®. We also offer integration opportunities with AutoCAD®, SketchUp®, and most CAD programs. This integration allows you to marry your CAD designs to your manufacturing – simplifying and expediting this once-time-consuming process.

Save Engineering Time and Money

Engineering time is valuable and expensive. With CAD Interface, you cut out the time-consuming and error-prone data entry of re-creating BOMs within your ERP software. Now with a few clicks, your team can import the dynamic BOM from your CAD software into your ERP system – saving you thousands of dollars a year.

Avoid Delays

In this fast-paced world, getting data to your shop floor faster is critical to getting your product out the door on time. With CAD Interface, the BOM is now in your ERP system and pushed to the shop floor faster – helping you avoid costly delays.

Crystal Reports Module

Customize reports to suit your specific production and administration needs with the Crystal Reports function, which is a wholly integrated part of Global Shop Solutions One-System ERP SolutionsTM software.

It saves administrative time and costs for both you and your customers within a secure, trusted environment.

Precision Leads to Opportunities

Saving time, paper, and processing is something all manufacturers want, and you can get it for your manufacturing business with EDI. EDI also allows you and your company to reduce errors and opens the door for new markets and opportunities. Some companies and industries will overlook you and your product if you do not integrate EDI into your manufacturing business.

Reduce Administrative Costs

As transactions flow through the EDI, one single entry replaces the need for a second entry on the other side of the transaction. Accounts with your customers remain in balance without the hassle of time-consuming reconciliations.

Global Application Builder Module

With Global Shop Solutions Global Application Builder (GAB) SDK, you can create customized applications and reports for your manufacturing business beyond the scope of standard ERP applications. You can also download one of the nearly 1,200 applications and reports that are free to Global Shop Solutions customers. GAB allows you to create applications that are specifically designed to meet your business needs, including customizing screens for users, increasing functionality, and running reports at scheduled intervals. It is the ultimate tool to further customize your ERP software for maximum productivity and profits.

Our ERP manufacturing KPI Dashboards comes standard with 50+ KPI metrics that are searchable, flexible, and customizable to help build trust and ensure communication within your management team.

Proactive Decision Making

The key benefit of implementing KPI Dashboards in an organization is the creation of a culture that revolves around proactive decision-making rather than reactive decision-making.

Use this tool to help you quickly identify and spend time on the areas of your business that require your attention to maximize efficiency and improvements.

Messaging System Application Module

Avoid costly mistakes, errors, and missed communication with the Global Shop Solutions Company Messaging System for manufacturers. You create the event triggers, thresholds, and parameters for each message that is generated from your ERP software. Set up system notifications to be sent out to customers, vendors, and employees via email or SMS text automatically. Critical messages are not delayed or forgotten with this system.

Mobile Wireless Application Module

Global Shop Solutions allows your shop floor to go paperless with GS Mobile. This product redefines the entire materials management process by utilizing the latest in barcode scanning, handheld printing, and mobile technologies, including iOS™, Android™, and Windows® mobile/embedded.

Real-Time Data

Whether receiving incoming raw materials, counting inventory in the warehouse or in the field, or transferring parts on the shop floor, the person handling the material simply scans the barcoded label, and GS Mobile records the transaction in real-time.

Cut Shop Floor Labor Costs

GS Mobile eliminates the process of recording material handling on paper and then transferring it to the computer. All the tracking of raw materials, inventory, tools, and finished products can be done from your handheld wireless device.

View current work in process in your shop by employee, work center, job, department, or supervisor.

Global Shop Solutions Online system gives you the flexibility to:

  • Add jobs to an employee;

Process Documentation & Training Module

Make staying on top of your manufacturing quality certifications and process documentation for ISO, QSO or training purposes easy with Global Shop Solutions Process Documentation and Training (PDT) application. PDT allows you to record and document your processes for auditing, certification, and training. And with each version upgrade, Global Shop Solutions will trigger an audit of your PDTs to allow you to easily update your process documentation. With immediate and up-to-date access to all your processes, training is made more efficient and cost-effective, reducing the need for paper documentation.

Easy, Simple Process Tracking in a Fraction of the Time

As processes change in your manufacturing business, you need a fast, easy way to update your documentation. With the Global Shop Solutions PDT application, you can easily update simple and complex process changes, maintaining and updating versions as your business needs change. Save time and money while keeping all your manufacturing processes up-to-date and in one easy-to-access format.

Documentation of Manufacturing Quality Certifications

Maintain the records you need to comply with all quality certifications for your manufacturing operation with PDT. All process documentation for quality certifications like ISO and QSO is kept safe and secure, with no need for bulky paper binders. Access any quality documentation information you need with a click of a button.

Improved New and Continuing Employee Training

Never risk trainers using outdated information for training your employees. With the PDT application as part of your ERP software, all processes, tasks, and programs can be automatically recorded to update any new information. You have the ability to record or access libraries with just one click for a cost-effective and efficient training tool.

RFID Technology Application Module

Gone are the days of fumbling to get a barcoded badge under the scanner, removing a work glove to access your fingerprint, or pressing your fingerprint to the pad only to have it not read correctly. With a simple scan of a badge that contains an RFID tag, your employees can now easily clock in and out for the day or on the shop floor with Shop Floor Data Collection. Combine your building locking system with Global Shop Solutions ERP software for maximum integration, streamlined daily processes, additional security, and reduction of redundant processes.

Consolidate Access Systems

Your employees used to have one badge to enter a building or unlock a door and a separate way to log into Global Shop Solutions ERP software – biometric scanner, additional badge, or barcode scanner. Now with our RFID technology, you can consolidate all those access procedures into one fully-integrated system. With the ability to eliminate multiple badges, barcoded employee lists, and human error, utilizing RFID technology to capture information in Global Shop Solutions ERP software is a no-brainer.

Increase Reliability and Speed

Alternative forms of log-ins are slow and unreliable, causing long waits while employees are trying to clock in and out for the day – causing lost production time and decreasing employee morale. Utilizing RFID technology allows you to make sure the correct person is clocking in and out – and does so quickly, efficiently, and simply.

Enjoy Strong Security and More Accurate Data

With the simple scan of a badge, every employee will have a unique and secure identification mechanism that will allow you to be certain that employee log-ins and job information is correctly stored in Global Shop Solutions ERP software. Utilizing this technology, you will no longer need an employee barcode list – all that information is stored in your ERP software and accessible with just the scan of a badge.
