Equipment Tracking System (ETS)

The NSi Equipment Tracking System (or ETS) is a powerful, yet easy-to-use tool that assists in archiving, tracking and locating equipment assets. It can help create an active archival system for storing and retrieving information related to computers, desks, lamps, chairs, shelving, tools and any other equipment or assets. ETS allows for the quick retrieval of individual assets or groups of assets. Bar code technology provides the ability to track the asset as it moves through and outside an organization.

ETS is highly flexible and provides for searching and tracking by using a single search criterion or any combination of search criteria. Features include multiple databases for comprehensive descriptive information, maintenance and service history, asset location and borrower history, custom bar code and descriptive label generator and data import/export capability. All text is searchable either by keyword, multi-keyword, wildcard or cross-reference searches. NSi can customize the system's data elements as part of the license fee. This includes custom definition of all data elements and defining of an organization's unique database in addition to the features included in the base system.

ETS is menu-driven and easy to use. The Windows design simplifies the user interface via icons, mouse support and pull down menus. Customized pop-up edit tables ensure data validation wherever possible. Our expertise with custom inventory systems enables us to help you successfully incorporate ETS into your facility. Service and support are provided by the NSi trained technical staff. We have earned a reputation in the industry for excellent customer service and quick response time.

ETS is available as a client/server SQL application. Access to the SQL database is provided by Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) drivers. ETS allows enterprise-wide access for efficient distribution of data in any Local Area Network and/or Wide Area Network environment. Because of its open architecture, ETS can exchange valuable data with other client/server based systems in your business.
