How to verify the content of a barcoded asset identification tag
The Validator
is a function on a mobile unit helps ensure that asset ID tags are
set up correctly when installing a
new system or upgrading an existing system.
Part of the set up involves the application of tags bearing a unique identifier (usually in
barcoded format), and
relating that tag to the relevant information in a database. Sounds easy. To help with this
process, SageData Solutions have introduced
the Validator
.
This application enables confirmation of the work being done as it
progresses
during the set up of a
new system. The Validator can check the readability of the tags, and a variety of other
attributes. It helps confirm
that the labelling is to specification, and reduces the risk of error in reports from the
system.

We have lost our dear friend
This to let you know that Doreen Garvin passed away on Monday, July 03.
Doreen was one of the founders, and one of the key personnel in SageData.
Without Doreen, there would have been no SageData, no BassetPro, and no asset management and
other systems for our clients.
We joked sometimes that John was the President, but that Doreen was the Boss.
That was always more true than we realized.
Doreen is sadly missed.

than twenty years.

Self Diagnostic Bot
SageData Solutions has implemented a self-diagnostic bot to help reducing the Mean Time
To
Recover (MTTR) when a client experiences a system error.
Due to security reasons, many of
our
clients have our software installed and running on their own servers. When they experience a
failure, the main challenge for our support
engineers is to access the data located on client's server.
To address this challenge, we developed a self diagnostic bot.

latest
technology here.

Emma - the Backend System Emulator
Potential clients frequently inquire whether the SageData BassetPro system is able to
integrate with their existing backend system (for example SAP). The answer is YES, we
can do it.
We have done it many times ensuring that the BassetPro and the backend systems
can
pass
information back and forth. Moreover, there are no changes to the client system or
their existing processes because SageData adapts the BassetPro interface to the existing system.
Our new flexible backend system emulator - Emma will help us to ensure that the inter-system
interfaces
are developed quickly and tested thoroughly.

SKU vs. UIC
One may happily live their entire life without knowing the difference between a SKU and
a
UIC, but not if you are in the inventory management world.
SKU stands for Stock Keeping Unit and UIC stands for Unique Identification Code. The difference
between them is important to understand when considering the
solution to your tracking needs.
Asset Management, Warehouse Management, Stock Management and other areas of Physical Items
Management may require either UICs or SKUs or even both.
Do you need to know the exact
item that was given out or do you need to know the type of
item
but not the specific one?
SageData Solutions is happy to offer a brief video that
explains the difference.
