Barcode Inventory System Information Brief / Demo Friday, 24 OCT 2008 Sherman Powell Inventory Management Solutions, Inc. CAGE Code: 54NN7

The Problem  Proliferation of serial-numbered property and sensitive items in deployable units  Extensive delay between “facts on the ground” and “facts on the property book”  High OPTEMPO / DEPTEMPO  RESULTS:  Continuous, ongoing inventories  Lengthy reconciliation process between manual inventories and PBO / PBUSE printouts

“State of Inventories” in Oct 2008  Print PBUSE sensitive items report  Give to inventory officer, wish him / her luck  Finish one inventory just in time to start the next one  Hundreds of hours lost due to counting and recounting  “….We’re still looking for two RT-1523s…..”  “….Let me count your PLT’s sensitive items one more time…..”  No fundamental change in many years

A complete software / hardware system  Over 1,500 installations in last 5yr  Over 300 in US Gov’t / Military units  One of many barcode / scanner software packages  Other examples: “Smartrack” Digital Arms Room (approx $45K-$60K per installation); fixed installation, corded scanner (not wireless)

What it “is”  Stand-alone software package  Can be installed on 1 or more computers  Part of a system that includes:  Barcode labels  Self-generated: Paper, printed on laser printer  3 rd party: Urethane, sub-surface printed; or metallic “foil” labels, heat / impact resistant  Handheld scanner  Barcode label printer (optional)

What it is “not”  Online (“hosted” on a website)  Hand receipt generator; does not substitute for process of creating and enforcing accountability documents  Replacement for good habits (recordkeeping)

Advantages  70% time savings over hand counting  Tremendous improvement in accuracy  Ability to manage an inventory from start to finish  “What haven’t we counted yet? Where is it?”  Ability to track asset history:  Home station, loadout, deployment, redeployment.  “What items are in this ISU-90?”  “When was the last time we saw it?”
