Aaron Sorenson: So we are here at Convergence
and I am talking with Mike with Panatrack,
great to talk to you again.
Mike: Very nice to talk to you again too.
Aaron Sorenson: Mike, maybe you could just
describe for us the company, Panatrack.
Mike: Sure, we have been in business with
this product in the GP space for over a decade.
We basically take dynamics GP and we extend
it into the warehouse and into offices to
control the inventory in fixed assets.
We do that with the simplicity of barcoding
and RFID and we have customers all across
the world.
Aaron Sorenson: So you are a Microsoft Dynamics
ISV, you have been in ISV for a long time.
Maybe you could tell us about some of your
products?
Mike: We have an inventory solution, which
basically allows kind of a cradle to grave
inventory management of receiving in based
on purchase orders using handheld devices
to be able to generate a barcode, scan the
barcode, move it through the warehouse to
do site-to-site transfers, bin-to-bin movements.
Very powerful order fulfillment to make sure
that you are picking the right product for
the right customer and shipping it out to
them properly.
On the inventory side variety of features
that both make sure that we are using the
power of Dynamics GP and then doing some slight
extension, so there is not a separate system
that requires direct and side link and all
of that's just inside of GP and makes a use
out of that.
On the fixed asset side that tends to be a
popular thing for municipalities and large
organizations and in that instance what we
are basically doing is helping people keep
track of the assets that they have such as
laptops, computers, desks, machinery etcetera,
so we can make it easy, it's an update GP
right when you are standing by the asset to
be able to scan and barcode and say it now
belongs to interim and it's now building a
seed and keep those things up to data, all
keeping that back in GP again.
And we also have applications well too on
the field, sales field service side; we do
a proof of delivery, capture signatures, take
orders in the field and that's that also lives
predominantly within GP.
Aaron Sorenson: So you have got lots of customers,
what kind of feedback are you hearing, what
kind of value are your customers getting from
your solutions?
Mike: The big ones that we get is, is that
we are reducing errors because they are making
sure that they are picking the right thing,
that they are identifying either the right
piece of inventory or the right asset.
They are saving time because we are basically
taking the transaction and putting it right
in the hands of the guy that's moving the
product or touching the asset, so that there
is no secondary data entry and then we have
also reduced the delay whereas somebody is
not writing or miswriting something on a piece
of paper and getting a serial number confused
and then giving it to someone who puts it
in later in the office.
So, basically dollar savings coming from time,
coming from accuracy.
Aaron Sorenson: Great, well it's great to
talk to you again thanks very much.
Mike: Awesome, very good thank you.
