The core MACS product is:

• A low cost of entry PC based warehouse management system
• Easy-to-use
• Flexible
• Scaleable from 1 to over 100 users
• Paper-based or real-time RF

Its objective is to control the movement of goods into, around and out of the warehouse. Given its high functionality and relatively low cost, MACS is a highly cost effective method of achieving accurate computerised stock quantity and location control.

Improved operational efficiency, optimised planning and better utilisation of resources bring about a rapidly achievable and maintainable reduction in warehouse and stock management costs. Specifically, in the areas of time, space, labour and inventory levels.

MACS flexibility can be illustrated by the fact that it can be used either by a single operator to control all the functions of a small warehouse, or equally confidently by multi-users managing the largest and most complex logistics operation, where MACS can interface with any existing system and utilise the latest technology in the field of weighing and packaging equipment, radio frequency data terminals, downloadable hand held terminals, bar-code scanners and printers.

With its built-in flexibility, MACS guarantees a reasonable fit in most business scenarios with minimum modification.

Further, MACS's modular approach offers virtually limitless opportunities for it to expand and develop with a customer's business. (The number of users can range from 1 to over 100). Translation of menus into other languages is also possible.

Generally, MACS can be implemented in rapid time scales. This is subject to the level of modification, number of interfaces required and available resources. The majority of MACS implementations take between three weeks and six months, although an interim system can be made available in days if required.

From a financial perspective, payback on most MACS installations can be calculated in months, not years.
