METALSOFT Introduces Increased Efficiency in Production Control

SANTA ANA, CALIFORNIA--FabriTRAK, METALSOFT's production control software,
is the last link in a chain of products designed to computerize the sheet
metal job shop. FabriTRAK will help shop managers to increase control over
operations by collecting, processing and reporting all production
information. It is so fast and efficient that it collects and updates
information in "real time" -- as soon as information is available.

FabriTRAK cuts quoting time in half for new quotations, and repeat jobs
only take 10% of the time previously taken. The new software outputs a
variety of detailed reports based on the quote. When an order is received,
there is a natural progression for information stored from a quote to be
transported to the order entry stage. Order entry allows input of lots,
tooling, one-time charges, part or lot costing and detailed commenting.

The order then proceeds to purchasing where it is tracked from receiving
through issuing the bills of material to the shop floor. The numerous
detailed reports give you purchasing advice, job costing and purchasing
history. Easy access to inventory ordered, on hand or allocated is
available.

Once a job is planned and scheduled to the shop floor, FabriTRAK helps
track actual production of all jobs. "Real time" tracking is an important
feature which provides up-to-the-minute analysis of a job's production
status. It provides a complete tracking of deliveries from the preparation
of a delivery schedule to the complete summary of all shipments. FabriTRAK
automatically generates invoices and packing slips. The data collection
capability of FabriTRAK allows the data to easily flow into popular
accounting software that's commercially available for both small and large
business operations as well.

FabriTRAK is also an effective tool for cost analysis. From the quoting
process to job completion, FabriTRAK can provide actual time employees
spend on each process through the use of bar code scanners and readers.
Detailed reports can be output on active as well as complete jobs.

FabriTRAK completes the chain for METALSOFT. It has long been the goal of
METALSOFT to develop a fully integrated product line for sheet metal job
shops to improve productivity and quality. With FabriTRAK complete,
METALSOFT has completed the task of computerizing all aspects of a job
shop's operation.
