Fabricator Job Costing Software Saves 20 hours

In business since 1981, DSI has been providing Barcode Software that tracks inventory, Jobs, Tools & Equipment, Documents, and ID Badge Systems. Barcode data collection has been proven to be the most accurate method of counting or tracking items.

Labels West Sees Dramatic Savings & Improved Productivity
Labels West, a print manufacturer, installed the CheckMate Job Data software, which is designed for small to mid-sized fabricators or manufacturers.  The Company manufactures custom self adhesive labels for food, wine and personal care packaging.  They were wasting hours every week searching for the work packets for jobs that were on their manufacturing floor.  By Using the CheckMate Job Data software they are now able to locate the jobs quickly, saving their workers over 20 hours a week or about $15,000/year.

Additional Benefits
Besides the time and money saving in locating the job packets, Labels West management can locate the job within the manufacturing process, allowing the production manager to forecast finish dates and identify any hold-ups or bottlenecks in the process.  Along with improving efficiencies, they can respond more quickly and accurately to their customers’ questions about lead-times and expected complete dates.

Cost Jobs
Job Data includes the ability to record actual labor, parts and scrap against the jobs.  The system installs on a Windows™ based PC, and is very easy to use.  “I would highly recommend this solution.  It installed easily, is stable and the technical support is excellent,” stated John Shanley, Owner of Labels West.

For over 30 years DSI has been providing reliable and innovative systems that enable your department to work safely and efficiently. The law Enforcement Module is part of a suite of barcode tracking solutions that include Inventory, Documents, Evidence,, Fixed Assets, E-Ticket, and ID Badge Printer Systems. Bar code data collection has been proven to be the most accurate and efficient method of tracking or counting items.

Checkmate Service Module Improves Safety & Efficiency:
DSI has announced the launch of The Checkmate Maintenance Scheduler, targeted for Law Enforcement Agencies who want to reduce the loss of gear and save time tracking down which piece of equipment is checked out to which officer.

The program reports when an inspection is due on items such as laptops, weapons, tasers and vests, and keeps track of the expiration date of consumables such as OC Spray.  It is easy to check in and out shotguns and long rifles for every shift. The inventory module will keep track of class B items such as batons, masks, gloves, and handcuffs.  It’s affordable for almost all agencies, even those with just a few employees,” stated Bill Allen, Process Control Consultant.

Equipment & Maintenance Manager Improves Safety and Saves Money for First Responders.

In business since 1981, DSI provides bar code systems that track equipment, inventory, documents, capital assets and maintenance or service schedules.  Bar code data collection has been proven to be the most accurate and efficient method of tracking or counting items.

Release of Equipment Manager Software:
DSI has announced the launch of Equipment Manager, targeted for agencies that need to track service due on equipment and save time tracking down tools and gear. The software tells you who has it, where it is, when it is due back.

The program reports when an inspection, repair, or cleaning is due on items such as parts, laptops, hoses, pagers, radios, pagers, and terminals. It is easy to check equipment in and out to each apparatus and between stations.  You can also track inspections of buildings, extinguishers, hydro testing, hose inventory, repairs, SCUBA gear, maintenance of the station, training records, and maintenance on vehicles and equipment (NFPA 1851). The inventory module tracks consumable supplies as well. “Checkmate will improve performance and is an affordable program for even those with a few employees,” stated Bill Allen, Process Control Consultant.

Cost Justification:
It requires less than a minute to check an item in and out, and cuts hours off equipment checks and inspections. Loss of time and malfunctioning gear can be a major overhead cost for departments.  Our customers see a typical payback with the Equipment Manager within 3-4 months,” states Alison Falco, President of Dynamic Systems.
