Group Alert Manager

The Alert Manager is a specialised system monitor that automatically emails information to you as events happen within your factory. These events can be based on:-

Critical business parameters, procedures (the completion of one triggering the start of another), incorrect data input or date and time.

The number and variety of monitors you can build are limited only by your imagination and since the monitors are driven by email, your customers and suppliers can be informed when events happen in your factory.

Benefits

The Alert Manager can monitor your critical business information. For example the Alert Manager will inform you when:

Your stock or WIP value is too high?

That job for your major customer is running late?

Your sales order book is too low?

You have failed to deliver on your promises?

The Alert Manager can monitor your procedures and ensure throughput is at its maximum. For example the Alert Manager will let:

Production know when parts have come in that can fulfil shortages

Engineering know when you have made that sale.

Your suppliers know when the stock has fallen below re-order point.

Despatch know when inspection’s complete

The Alert Manager can monitor your database for errors and inform you as they happen. For example:

Parts have been entered with no costs

Works orders have not been completed

Prices have not been updated

Bills have not been rolled up

The Alert Manager can schedule the production of management reports. For example:

It’s Friday afternoon, send the Managing Director the sales figures

It’s Monday morning, send the Operations Manager the production schedule

It’s monthend, send accounts the valuation reports
