These symbols are used to indicate the availability of a feature:

 

 

Core Features

Parts

Stock may be viewed by category, by supplier or by assembly (if used). Free stock, physical stock and parts on order can be easily checked. Stock levels requiring attention are colour coded for easy identification.

 

Transactions

Every component and assembly transaction (opening balance, stock input/output, purchase, kitting allocation, usage, shrinkage etc.) is logged and available for review.

 

Stock Input and Output Transactions

Input and Output subfolders may be created as required, this allows you to categorise your receipts and sales, returns and scrappings etc. in any way you wish.

Simply create a new input or output, enter necessary details and drag the required items into the form.

topStock Explorer Plus

 

Purchase Orders and Goods Received Notes

Orders can be generated in minutes (perhaps even in seconds) by dragging required components from a stock review panel into an open order.

Purchase orders may be grouped in batches if required and an automatic order generation feature is available.

A ‘Send Via E-mail’ option allows immediate composition and despatch of email

Orders may be raised in any currency.

Goods Received Notes (GRN’s) may be used to record received goods.

 

Delivery Notes

These can also be generated in no time by dragging items from customer orders into an open delivery note.

Customer order items may be added to one or more delivery notes.

The stock is automatically updated (i.e. ‘allocated stock’ becomes ‘used stock’).

The printed delivery note and purchase order may be configured to resemble existing company stationery, or to overprint company forms.

 

Projects

By associating each purchase order with a project (booking) reference, received or ordered items may be viewed by project to enable tracking of project costs etc.

topStock Explorer Plus

 

Miscellaneous

Additional features in the standard pack include returns notes, scrap notes, quarantine details and a number of views designed to offer useful analysis of the stock, expenditure and related data

 

Assemblies and Parts Lists

Assemblies can be added to other assemblies to create any number of sub-levels. Assembly stock levels and status can also be viewed.

Assembly information can be expanded to provide detailed and configurable parts lists including item designators, notes and pictures. Parts list information may be exchanged with external documents.

 

Works Orders

Processing a works order allocates all necessary stock, and a review of components will rapidly identify shortages. Picking lists can be generated and works orders may be associated with a customer order.

 

Warehouse

The warehouse module links seamlessly with Stock Explorer.

A simple visual interface allows received goods to be assigned to multiple warehouse locations. Parts may be moved between locations and in/out of quarantine.

A history panel allows all warehouse transactions be tracked and reviewed.

An interactive picking list allows auto-picking of parts by various criteria including date and batch size.

Customer order items are also selected from the warehouse and added to delivery notes using a picking list.

The user can choose to build sub-assemblies from their component parts or take pre-built items from stock (or any combination of the two).

 

Reports

Numerous summary and analysis reports may be generated. Purchase Orders. Delivery Notes, Return Notes and Invoices are customisable to suit individual requirements. topStock Explorer Plus

Start up service details

 

Stock Explorer allows the import of customer, supplier, component and assembly information from

suitably formatted text files. This normally allows you to quickly transfer most of your existing

important data.

 

However some of our previous customers have requested assistance with the transition from their

existing system to Stock Explorer. Therefore whatever your requirements we can help you with the

process of initialising and configuring your Stock Explorer System.

 
Provided you can supply us useable data we can fulfill most of your start-up requirements for you.
 
For example:
 
1. Import customers, suppliers, components and assemblies.
 
Typical source data;
Formatted text files (csv, tab-separated, fixed field length etc.)
Excel tables
MS Access database files
 
Please clarify the names of each field to ensure the data is correctly assigned.

2. Create assembly hierarchies (sub-assemblies and components).
 
Typical source data;
Formatted text files (csv, tab-separated, fixed field length etc.)
Excel tables
MS Access database file
 

We need to be able to identify the assembly name, the sub-assembly or component name and

the quantity


3. Import miscellaneous data (e.g. employees, shipping methods, currencies etc.).
 
Typical source data;
Formatted text files (csv, tab-separated, fixed field length etc.)
Excel tables
MS Access database file

4. Report Customisation.
 
Purchase orders, delivery notes and returns notes may all need to be customised to resemble

your existing company stationery. You can do all of this for yourself but it can be time-consuming

to get your documents just right.

 

We can configure them for you, adding notes and other text, we can include your company logo,

reposition text and labels, change fonts, sizes and styles and generally make the printed

documents conform to your needs.

 
Typical source data;
Examples of your existing stationery, marked up with any changes if necessary.
An image of your company logo (bitmap, jpeg, gif etc.)

5. Users.
 
We can add your users for you.

Just give us a list of user names, user passwords and required access rights.

 

Send your enquiries and/or source files to stocksupport@saturnsolutions.co.uk and we'll get back

to you with our advice and costings. (Prices start as low as £50).

Customer Testimonials

 

"Stock Explorer Plus is highly configurable! It can be anything from a simple input/output system to a sophisticated planning management and analysis tool"

 


 

"We manufacture a large number of products, many of which include sub-assemblies. Keeping track of our stock and planning for build had become a major problem.....Stock Explorer has solved all that. Now we can instantly view stock availability, decide which items need to be ordered, see which required sub-assemblies are in stock and which need to be built"

 

"The colour coding of customer orders, purchase orders, works orders etc. makes it really easy to see at a glance which jobs are on schedule and which need chasing. The numerous views and report options help me to review expenditure and plan more efficiently"

Bert Boughton - Jarb Technology

 


 

"Like any new product it takes a little getting used to but the support team have always answered any questions quickly and fully (the first six months support is free!). They even made an on-site visit to assess a couple of procedural difficulties we were experiencing. Within days we received an updated version to suit our specific requirements"

 


 

"Stock Explorer has a wealth of hidden features that should cost thousands but doesn't. There are no hidden costs, no ongoing licence fees and software revisions are normally made available to all customers free of charge"

 

"Saturn Solutions understand the needs of a manufacturing company like us. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Stock Explorer to anyone looking for a well featured but easy to use stock system"

Aidan Bettison - Cope Technology Limited
