Meter management of the technical field service

IntraTrack is the short form of Intranet Tracking. It is used to manage all test and measurement equipment used by Deutsche Telekom’s technical field service in/via the Deutsche Telekom intranet. It has been like this since 2003.

As with any application, user requirements grow over time (especially in terms of ergonomics), the boundary conditions change due to organizational changes – and everything always has to be implemented very suddenly.

Then came IntraTrack² from ClassiX!

The schedule was tight: The new, object-oriented data model was already installed on 16 December and accepted on 21 December 2016.

Since March 2017, the demand inquiry was already running in IntraTrack² in live operation, followed shortly afterwards by the delivery of new devices. From November 3rd on IntraTrack² was fully online.

The agreed production date for IntraTrack² was kept, after acceptance on December 1, 2017, regular operation was given.

The core element is the lifecycle management with test equipment monitoring (calibration/maintenance) as well as service in case of malfunction and spare parts and accessories orders. This also includes the permanent inventory and, at the end, scrapping..

IntraTrack² and IntraTrackplietsch – the Smart Device version for the technician on site – are constantly being ergonomically optimized and expanded. The supply of the technical field service with testing/measuring equipment is 100% guaranteed.

With ClassiX we have gained a partner who competently meets our requirements in an agile approach – and continues to do so – quickly.”.

“From previously about 4 days of effort for conventional full admission, we were left with less than 4 hours by using GESTIN – with the same personnel deployment of 6 people. This results in a saving of 168 man-hours for us – a whole 87.5 percent of the original effort. At the same time the closing time of the warehouse has been minimized. Today, all parties involved in the inventory and the management are very satisfied with these results.
We had already addressed the issue of inventory simplification when we came into contact with ClassiX at the end of 2014. After examining solutions of other providers, we finally decided to use GESTIN by ClassiX, as it seemed to us to be the easiest to use and the most flexible to adapt to our systems. As it turned out, our decision should be the right one.
We have about 16,000 counting positions distributed over 16 Hänel lifts and a high-bay warehouse. The data exchange between Hänel software (inventory), ABAS ERP (value) and the inventory software GESTIN ran smoothly during the inventory”.

“We have been using GESTIN for inventory sampling at our plant in Leipzig for many years. In addition to our pallet warehouse, we also operate a fully automated high-bay warehouse system. In GESTIN we not only merge the data from our materials management with the data from the high-bay warehouse computer, but also reconcile them with GESTIN.

The very good cooperation with classix led to this solution in a fast and uncomplicated way. GESTIN can be operated very comfortably and every necessary adjustment is available to us within a very short time.

We are happy to recommend GESTIN as a flexible software for bar sample inventory and classix as a competent and reliable partner.”

“The apps from the classix AppsWarehouse form the basis of our warehouse management system. At the start in 2002, we initially started with adapted apps and completely new extensions. Since then, new individual requirements have been continuously developed by our own IT department.

The simplicity of the CyberEnterprise business OS benefits us in this respect. The script language InstantView is very easy to learn. It is an interpreter language developed by classix that does not require compiling. This facilitates the development enormously, because changes to the source code can be reloaded immediately in real time without having to restart the complete application.

Due to the object-oriented data storage, all “data records” in the database are stored as a kind of data network, which makes “rumjoining” like in relational databases a thing of the past.

The database is absolutely maintenance-free. Our first database reorganization took place after 15 years of operation due to the change to 64bit.

Since we do not have classic article and parts lists, we rely on the flexible structure of the CyberEnterprise enterprise model.  In order to meet the ever growing customer requirements, a (rigid) standard industry software is out of the question for us.

Not least because of the power of the CyberEnterprise business OS, we were one of the first steel service centers to be certified according to the strict automotive standard IATF 16949.”

“At Hager & Meisinger we have been using GESTIN for many years. After the first inventory sampling, we discovered that the differences in quantity reported by the software system were almost without exception the result of incorrect counts during the last full inventories. With GESTIN we now not only save time and money, but also improve the quality of our inventories. We can no longer imagine a conventional full inventory as we used to do in the past”.

“Already in 2002 we had thought about the inventory sampling. At that time, however, we decided to adhere to full inventory on the cut-off date, with the idea that this was the only way to determine correct stocks. With our 13,000 items, the time and effort required for the full inventory amounted to 100 man-days and the results were often of insufficient quality. In 2010, after another audit and consultation with our auditor, we decided to use the inventory sampling and the GESTIN software, as it was the easiest to use. Thanks to the excellent consulting of ClassiX Software GmbH, we were able to operate the program after only half a day of training. Since then we have been able to reduce the effort of our inventory by 95% and at the same time improve the quality. We are very satisfied with the new situation.”

“Our inventory contains some 17,500 items. More than 10 years ago, we already implemented the conversion from continuous inventory to inventory sampling. This enabled us to reduce the time required to carry out our inventory by about 100 man-days. In addition, we were able to detect and eliminate systemic errors in the stock entry. Even pure counting errors, which in the past were favoured by the monotony of the constantly recurring counting processes, could be minimised. Overall, we have improved the quality of our inventory management and at the same time reduced our inventory costs”.

“Since 2014, we have been using the GESTIN inventory sampling system to comply with legal requirements. Since then, the inventory has been carried out quickly and smoothly. Auditors and auditors also welcome the inventory support.
In our company there are about 16,000 stocked articles in stock, which are distributed to about 17,000 storage locations. In total there are about 76,000 storage places in our company, which all would have to be checked.
Through the inventory sampling GESTIN we could reduce the counting effort massively. On the inventory date we now only count about 350 items. Everyone can surely imagine what a relief this is.
The support of ClassiX is excellent and the software is so easy to use that after three hours of training everybody knows how the application works.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank ClassiX very much and can recommend the inventory support GESTIN to everyone without any restrictions.”

TUI Engineering uses GESTIN from classix Software GmbH for it’s Main Base Annual Inventory Audits

“TUI Engineering, Supply Chain use the GESTIN software from classix for a variety of reasons. Using the classix cloud-based servers and their inhouse expertise, set up and data transfer from our AMOS System was easily established. Although our TUI facility in Hannover had been using a PC based version of the application for several years, we chose to use the full online functionality for our TUI Group solution, which covers all TUI main base stock locations.
Other determining factors for TUI is the independent algorithmic generation of audit sampling, for our Consumable and Expendables Aircraft Maintenance stock. This has been fully endorsed by our Company Auditors in support of our annual inventory valuation.
The use of the online functionality provides TUI with the ability to produce auditable stock lists for online real-time stock takes, in our warehouse environments. Which has improved our efficiency by reducing stock checks from 100% to sample counts and completing our internal Inventory audits in a fraction of the previous time.”

“GESTIN is a software certified by the auditing company Ernst & Young GmbH for the collection of inventory data. Since 2008 we – the Ofa Bamberg GmbH – have successfully carried out the inventory sampling in the automatic small parts warehouse with the help of GESTIN software. Our data can be uploaded quickly and easily from the ERP system into GESTIN. The stratification is done automatically.
The savings in time and ultimately also in costs, in counting and further processing of inventory data, are enormous. For a full inventory we would currently need about 350 man hours. With the inventory sampling via GESTIN, we can complete the inventory in less than a tenth of the time. In addition, long input and processing procedures are eliminated. Thus we can be ready for delivery again within the shortest possible time.
With ClassiX we have a reliable software with a fast and friendly support at our side”.

“With the team from ClassiX Software, we were up and running within a few days to carry out a inventory sampling according to recognised mathematical procedures. Advice and support during implementation were excellent. Before, it took us several weeks and a team of about five people to do the inventory to count about 10,000 different stocks. Now, with three people, we were done with the inventory in three days. Inventory has never been so easy and fast!”

“We were urgently looking for a solution to drastically reduce our inventory effort.

So far, we have needed 225,650 counting items for our inventory:

  • 1.5 weeks for the preparation of the inventory
  • 5 days + 30 persons for the count during the inventory
  • Production stop for a full 5 days

Thanks to the competent advice and the uncomplicated implementation of the sampling software GESTIN in our existing ERP system, we successfully completed our inventory in only 0.5 days with 2 people, including the final report for the auditor. In addition, thanks to the software, we were able to carry out our inventory parallel to our daily business and completely avoid warehouse closures.

In the future, we will switch to the inventory software GESTIN of classix Software GmbH in all our locations.”

At OASE, we have dedicated ourselves to a passion for water, living spaces and design with the highest technical precision. For the creative staging of water in gardens and aquariums as well as in the professional sector for fountain technology and water technology. From conception to implementation, from function to fascination, from technical to biological, we offer innovative staging, smart products, top quality and pure comfort.

The Oase Group was faced with the challenge of increasing the efficiency of its stocktaking processes. The previous stocktaking time was 15 calendar days and the number of items counted totalled 12,000, which resulted in considerable expenditure of resources.

By implementing the GESTIN inventory system from classix Software GmbH, we were able to achieve remarkable successes: Inventory time was reduced from 15 to just 2 calendar days. This led to a considerable increase in efficiency and a minimisation of operational interruptions. At the same time, the number of counted items was drastically reduced from 12,000 to 1,000. This reduction corresponds to a goods value of 50% of the total warehouse stock, which has considerably reduced the effort and complexity of stocktaking.

Personalised support from classix Support ensured that all employees involved were optimally prepared and that the inventory could be carried out smoothly and successfully.

 

Thanks to the introduction of GESTIN, we were not only able to significantly increase the efficiency of the inventory processes, but employee satisfaction also improved considerably. The time and cost savings allow us to focus on other strategic initiatives and drive growth. We can recommend the GESTIN inventory software from classix without hesitation.
