Today, companies and organisations operate in a much more complex environment as far as tracking and reporting on events, activities or items as they occur
This is particularly true in strictly regulated environments such as the development and production of pharmaceuticals, medical devices and food where compliance with current (and future) regulations is also required.
It is also true for the production of nuclear materials, their use and disposal, as well as the collection, analysis, monitoring and reporting of environmental samples.
To attempt to collect, store and report all of this information without the aid of computers is a daunting / impossible task.
The Matrix Track-IT system from Autoscribe is a single, very flexible, software product that allows exactly the same program and code to be fully and compliantly configured to meet the precise needs of these different applications without writing any custom code or esoteric scripts.
Totally different fields and labels may be created using the uniquely powerful Matrix OneTime Configuration tools, so as to support these various applications, all using exactly the same source code.
Different localisations and languages are also fully supported.
Matrix Gemini OneTime Configuration tools create a unified screen configuration which is immediately available via a Lan, Wan or web browser without the need for custom programming.
This allows Matrix Track-IT to provide an identical user experience whether working on a desktop PC or accessing your data remotely via a web browser.
Customers can also be allocated secure user names allowing them to track their own work online.
The benefits of this approach over the definition and creation of different custom written programs to meet these needs are many, but can be summarised.
There is no source code or esoteric basic scripts to create, document and debug and therefore the implementation process is much faster and less expensive.
The power of the configuration tools allows for fast iterations of prototype configurations before the final design is accepted for the implementation by the users.
Users are encouraged to express their thoughts and findings about each revision of the prototype configuration and therefore users obtain a final design that is more acceptable to them and is seen as more "user friendly".
The final implementation also typically requires minimal training as the system does precisely what the users normally do - ie it follows precisely current working practices.
The system also readily facilitates compliance both in terms of audit and versioning and in terms of users following procedures and SOPs that they are mandated to do so.
Each installation and application uses the same code and therefore support is much easier and less expensive.
In both large and small organizations, the IT group or lead user can become very fluent with the software such that they are able to deploy it themselves to meet varied business needs.
Configuration training takes only three days.
One validation, many applications with all the compliance and audit trails included to meet the strictest regulations.
Data entry can be improved by the optional use of barcodes and scanners.
