Q: Can I expect to get a full 8 hour shift from handheld device?
A: If they're reasonably new, you betcha!
Modern batteries today are good for 300-400 cycles or charges. After that, they decline in performance - aging does that to all of us. Handheld barcode terminals are designed to provide a full shift of use - typically 8 hours. This does require that the battery be fully charged and serviceable. Newer batteries, do however, fail quickly once their lifespan is up. So, once performance begins to drop in less than 8 hours of use, it will soon be time to replace the battery.
GigaTrak can provide batteries from a variety of manufacturers - LXE, Intermec, Honeywell, Datalogic, Motorola.....

Q: What is the typical ROI of a mobile system?
A: GOOD Question!
The ROI (return on investment) of a mobile data collection system is going to depend upon a variety of factors. Isn't that always the case? It will depend upon how many system users there are, what kind of hardware was purchased (rugged terminals - vs - office grade), what the software application is ($100Ks - vs - $15K or less), and, last, but not least, what the "soft" costs are. "Soft" costs are those variables such as how much service and support is required to get the system up and running, as well as how much service and support will be required to maintain it.
GigaTrak prides itself in offering the most cost effective solutions, whether it's a large project or a small business aplicaiton. We help you match the hardware to your specific requirements, so you don't get more than you really need, whether its mobile data collection terminals, the wireless routers (Cisco) that support the mobile network, or the often forgotten support peripherals (barcode scanners, Zebra printers, barcode labels, etc). Additionally, our software solutions - from Asset Tracking to Tool Tracking to Inventory Control and Document Management - are designed to user-friendly...installing quickly with little fuss and requiring little or no ongoing support.
We seen ROI periods ranging from a week for Asset Management (at a major power plant that had lost track of a million dollars worth of tools and equipment), to 3 months for Tool Tracking for an electrical contractor who was having difficulty managing rental equipment, to 12 months for Storeroom Management for a small business (simply trying to keep track of the equipment, supplies and consumable its contractors were using).
If you'll give us a call @ 877-204-9237, we'll be happy to discuss a variety of hardware and software application options that can apply to your particular business need. (And we promise not to send you into voicemail oblivion.)

Q: What are my handheld computer options - Wireless? Batch? Both?
A: Decisions, Decisions!
First, let's define wireless and batch. Wireless can be in-premise Wi-Fi (like one can connect to at the local coffe shop), or it can be WLAN, such as connection via celluar data networks. The data is then "live" and "real time". Batch devices however, collect the data for as long a period of time as is required, then the information is manually downloaded to a PC or computer host and synchronized with the main database.
Which is preferable is really very simple and boils down to three basic variables: 1) what is the budget? 2) what is the application? 3) how time critical is the data?
Addressing $'s first, while today's wireless infrastructure and wireless handheld terminals are much more price attractive that they were early on, wireless still costs more than batch. Most handheld terminals, such as those from LXE, Honeywell, Datalogic, Intermec and Motorola, can be optioned either way.
A wireless system will allow you to transmit data instantly from your mobile handheld terminal to you host application, but it's significantly more expensive hardware at best. At the extreme, if you use a cellular data network as the wireless connection, there is typically a monthly fee for the data service, plus any package charges based on actual data amounts transmitted.
Second, do you need to check in/check out tools in a tool crib, assets in a school, documents from the fileroom? Do you need to do maintenance on customer equipment in the field? Do you need to manage assets at remote facilities, track assets in-house, issue tools to contractors, perform physical inventory counts, perform cycle counts, monitor assets? Is yours a Route Accounting application and you need to have instant verification that a delivery has been made, or is use confined to a Inventory or Warehouse Management Shipping function.
Third, Batch requires only the basic handheld computer. The information won't be real time, but if the time delay doesn't adversely impact the business. it's a simple and cost-effective ways to check in/ check out assets, tools or inventory.
Fortunately, we also offer a hybrid option - our products (software and hardware) can support both wireless and batch solutions. Our terminal software comes in both flavors - RF and Batch - and both can install on the same handheld computer - giving our customers the best of both worlds!

Q: Who do I talk to after I purchase my hardware?
A: Call our 877-204-9237 and, as always, our helpful staff will be happy to assist you! They've a lot of experience with both Customer Service - on which we pride ourselves - and with the Data Collection Hardware Industry.
Whether it's a barcode printer (Zebra, Intermec, or Eltron), or handheld mobile computers (LXE, Honeywell, Intermec, Datalogic, Motorola,Symbol), barcode scanners (LXE, Honeywell, Intermec, Datalogic, Motorola, Symbol), RFID readers, barcode labels (paper labels, metal labels, RFID labels, RFID tags), or wireless routers (Cisco Access Points, or Cisco APs), we've worked with the best of breed and we only market the best data collection hardware available. We not only market data collection products, but we support what we sell.
So, if you have any questions, once your hardware arrives - whether it's a printer that defies the imagination when it comes to loading the labels or ribbon, a barcode scanner that doesn't scan, or a handheld terminal that looks like the TV remote control but certainly doesn't work like one - we're here to assit you.
All of the hardware products GigaTrak provides - whether used for Document Management, Tool Tracking, Inventory Mangement, Storeroom Management, or Asset Tracking - are recommended because they have proven to be the most reliable and user-friendly products for Data Collection applications. Chances are, you'll never need to call us. But, if you do, you've got our number!

Q: What kind of warranty comes with GigaTrak's Software Applications?
A: We STAND by our Products......
The basic software warranty for any of our Asset Management, Tool Management, Inventory Management, Tool Crib or Barcode Tool products is 90 days. Call us during that period with any issues, or questions on installation, set-up or configuration, and we'll be there to support you! And, if you run into any "bugs" outside , we'll resolve those issues promptly.... the Management takes that kind of thing very seriously!

Q: Can you charge the mobile handheld computer with an alternative power source?
A:
Some, but not all. Depending upon the type of terminal, optional accessories, including alternative power sources such as 12V vehicle or forklift chargers, may be available. However, it will depend upon the particular mobile terminal as to whether this is the case, or not.
back to top
Q: Are there Network versions of Gigatrak Tool Tracking, Inventory Management, Storeroom Management and Document Tracking Solutions?
A: Oh, yes, there are Network versions of each product, as well Stand-a-Lone Windows PC-based versions.
GigaTrak's Asset Tracking, Tool Management, Inventory Control and Storeroom Control software applications are available in either Access database or SQL database versions. Depending upon how a company's PC and server infrastructure is structured, a few users might want to run independently using an Access database in network mode; or, significantly more users might want to run in network mode to a central corporate server that uses an SQL database. The latter works very well if there are remote facilities or plant operations that need access to a centralized database.
There is no difference in cost between the GigaTrak application versions as we license our software strictly based on the number of users running the software. There may however, depending upon what software your company has, be an additional requirement to purchase SQL licenses.

Q: How Flexible are GigaTrak Asset Management, Tool Tracking, Supplies Management and Inventory Control Applications?
A: Think "Yoga".....
A common assumption in the asset tracking and inventory management data collection software application market is that 50% of the market uses 50% of the functionality of any particular software product. Our goal is to design products that make logical sense, are intuitive to use and provide the functionality required. We don't bulk up our products with fluff just to inflate appearances. We keep it simple and directed towards providing the functionality you need, in a package you can quickly and easily work with, at a price you can afford.
That said, we also know each business process may well have its own unique terminology for various aspects of the business. So, we've set up a specific and global variables that the user can "redefine" if one word makes more sense than another. I say "location", you say "jobsite". I say "serial number", you say "asset tag". I say "tomato", you say "tomato".....either way, depending upon the asset management or inventory tracking, or tool tracking product chosen, there are setup modifications that allow the user to customize the software's terminology to meet their particular needs.
From tracking tools to monitoring student equipment, from documenting corporate assets to tracking contractor rental equipment, this feature offers flexibility that opens up a variety of possible applications for our GigaTrak software users - in a very simple, flexible way.

Q: What kind of warranty comes with GigaTrak's hardware products?
A: Only the Best....
We've been in the Data Collection and Barcode business for over 2 decades. We only develop and market the best asset tracking and inventory control / inventory management software products on the market, and, we only represent the best hardware vendors to use with those products. Our hardware products are recommended based on how they will be used - in a SOHO (small office, home office, small business) environment to Enterprise corporate environments to Industriall, harsh plantfloor and production/manufacturing facilities.
Our key vendors, LXE, Honeywell, Datalogic, Intermec, Motoroala/Symbol and Zebra, manufacture some of the best data collection, barcode scanner, barcode printer, and handheld computer terminal products in the world. The manufacturers' warranties will vary, but none are less than 1 year, standard. Some are up to 5 years. Additionally, most offer "no-fault" extended maintenance options for anywhere from 1 to 5 years. If you break it and it's fixable, it's covered!
back to top
Q: Is there a yearly license fee for Asset Tracking, Inventory Management, Storeroom Management, Tool Tracking or Document Management Applications?
A: NOPE!
When you purchase any of our products, be it Asset Tracking System (STS), Tool Tracking System (TTS), Inventory Management System (IMS), Storeroom Tracking System (STS), Document Tracking System (DTS), or any of the other varieties we offer (from Route Accounting and Route Planning, to Bag Check), you own it. Subject of course to all the basic legal stuff, but it's yours to use as long as you wish with no addtional charge. Now, we do offer what we think is a GREAT value for the money as an option. No pressure, mind you, just an option to consider.
We take all customer comments and suggestions seriously, and we're always looking for ways to make our great data collection sofware products even better! So, we make great value even better by sweetening the deal and offering a "yearly maintenance" option. If you add this option to the software purchase (it really is a nominal fee), changes or updates made to any product are available to you, at via a simple web download - and at NO additional charge.

Q: How do I know which product is right for me?
A: We can help you determine this if you can provide some basic information.
Our products fall into 2 categories: 1) Asset and Inventory tracking or tracing for internal asset management, and 2) Sales Order or Service Industry inventory management. Both categories allow for both consumable and non-consumable asset/inventory management; binned/quantity items and re-order/ below bin level reports.
IMS Basic and STS are primarily inventory management products in the traditional sense. IMS is best suited to order fulfillment, while STS is best suited to inventory management for internal business purposes.
If your application falls more along the lines of tracking or tracing Assets, Tools or Equipment (including a variety of items such as Media storage, sports facility items, network device deployments, etc.) ATS or TTS are simple solutions to implement.

Q: Does GigaTrak software include calibration information, such as gage R&R studies, calibration dates, and certificates?
A: GigaTrak’s TTS Pro & Contractor Edition software, and ATS Pro & School Edition software include “User Defined Fields” which allow you to customize specific tool or asset information. Once these fields are defined in the Tool/Asset Administrative function, this information can be documented for each specific Tool/Asset on the Tool/Asset Information screen.
Additionally, these same editions also include a “Maintenance” function that also allows you to customize any maintenance items that might apply to a particular Tool/Asset class and type. The Maintenance item can also be flagged to prevent checkout of any tool/asset for which any particular critical maintenance has not been performed.

Q: Can i modify the code to meet my companies specific needs?
A: No. The database can be reported upon with a 3rd party reporting tool. We can quote any customization as needed.
back to top
Q: Networked system….. database and application on same server, or can these be on separate servers/drives?
A: In reading the Requirements documentation, it suggested that we have both the application and the database on the same server. Is this absolutely necessary or is it OK to have the database on a separate server? And if so, it that supported?
The database server and the file server can be different; and, yes, this is a supported feature. You just have to make sure that, when you install the application, you point the program to look at the correct database.

Q: Do you offer a consolidated Asset Management solution that will intgrate with Microsoft Dynamics ERP solutions?
A: No. Not at this time.
back to top
Q: Is there a Flow or Process Chart available to assist us in implementing your software for our Asset or Inventory Tracking Project?
A: Available to our users, on our website, via the “Client Center” Tab is a support document entitled “GettingStartedWithGigaTrak”. It details all the basic considerations in implementing this type of project. If you don’t have access to our Client Center, contact our customer support group to request a copy.

Q: What Labels are typically recommended for tagging assets and inventory?
A: Label specifications include – type, material, adhesive & surface preparation. For industrial tools, typically recommend ed are pre-printed metallic labels (with general sequencing or custom numerical sequence). If metallic labels aren’t necessary, or the items to be tagged are subject to less rugged environments, a polypropolene label is often a good fit.
We can supply either type of label, as well as any supporting ribbon/barcode label printer (for poly pro)
If you print your own labels, this should be done in Thermal Transfer mode (not direct thermal, as, typically, direct thermal does not have as long a shelf life.)
back to top
Q: What Hardware recommendations are there for an asset/inventory/tool tracking project?
A: This really depends upon how you wish to use the application.
Tethered (or Bluetooth) barcode scanner: If you have a scenario where it’s simplest for the user to scan directly into the PC application, a ‘tethered’ barcode scanner connected via USB to the PC workstation (or notebook) is recommended. Less error entering barcode and quicker entry.
Handheld terminal: If you want to have the user “mobile”, either in the field or in the warehouse or toolcrib, for example, a Handheld mobile data terminal is recommended (EX: LXE MX8, Honeywell 6100 or 6500, Datalogic Memor). If you have WiFi access, and install the GigaTrak application using an SQL database, you can use a WiFi-radio enable Handheld terminal. If no WiFi access, using either an ACCESS or SQL database, a ‘batch’ Handheld terminal can be used.In either case, Handheld terminal needs to be using Microsoft CE 5 or higher or Windows Mobile. (You have the option to install both the ‘Batch” and “wireless” GigaTrak client on the handheld unit and run either, as needed to match the working environment.
Printers: Gigatrak’s softare has an embedded label designer to allow for printing user barcodes, tool/asset barcodes, and location barcodes. Some users simply order pre-printed barcodes, then print their employee or location barcodes on a standard printer (in report format). Some have other ‘barcode’ specific printers that they utilize. We offer small footprint Zebra desktops that print labels in up to 2” or 4” widths, specifically for barcode labels.
back to top
Q: What is the Total anticipated cost of one of these projects?
A: Is this hardware? Software? Labor (setup/implementation/IT maintenance)? cost…
Consider where/how application is installed : client/server – how many workstations/user licenses? single user workstation?
Consider how many handheld terminals, how many printers, how many tools/assets (labels required); time for user training, time for initial implementation management.
Consider extended support maintenance cost (optional).
back to top
Q: What is the Expected manpower required to implement the tracking project?
A: Somewhat an initial unknown, until the overall range/use/scope of the application implementation is defined.
back to top
Q: What is the Expected implementation timeline from start to finish?
A: Small system installation, 1 – 5 users, generally can take from 2 to 4 weeks if the implementation is ‘focused’ and the necessary supporting information (including asset/tool inventory information in electronic format) is readily available.
As the system size increases, and if information is sparse and scattered, implementation time increases.
The key to streamlining a successful implementation is to create a roadmap and have a plan in place that is managed (someone has to champion it) and followed. Getting an expert trainer or someone familiar with the application onboard for training/implementation support is always useful.
back to top
Q: What Internal training tools are available?
A: Printed user manuals, Online videos, PowerPoint Presentations, File Import Templates, are a few that are available on our website.
back to top
Q: What are some things to consider to as we move forward?
A: A few thoughts………
- System maintenance: Backup schedule for database; who’s responsible for software application - installation & updates.
- Hardware maintenance: Who’s responsible for requesting repairs/support when needed
- Application Usage: Who’s responsible for maintaining asset/tool/inventory data; adding information to the system, generating reports, monitoring maintenance & re-order/below item minimum quantities; checking items In/Out?
- Process for adding new tools/assets – who has access to specific software function modules
- Maintaining pre-printed label supplies; maintaining barcode printer supplies
- What reports are required, who gets them, on what general basis/schedule do they need to be printed/provided
back to top
Q: Do reservations keep tools or assets from being checked out?
A: Answer:
HIGH Priority: A Reservation of HIGH priority reserves a tool for the “reserver”; Check Out is not allowed by any other person for the reservation period. While the reservation period is within the date requested, when that tool is Checked In, the reservation will remain intact. (While someone may actually need a tool for one or a few days, they might actually be required to return it to the Storage area everyday and then re-check it out for the next day’s use.)
IF the ‘reserver’ reserves an item for 2 weeks, HIGH priority, but, only needs it for less than the reservation period, the reservation can be DELETED.
MEDUIM or LOW Priority:
A Reservation of Low or Medium Priority ‘flags’ the Checkout by any other person, but checkout can be allowed by someone else.
In general, all reservations in the system can be purged, but only up until one month prior to the current date.

Q: Error Message on Handheld Terminal – DATE & TIME out of synch with PC application
A: Question: My handheld terminal indicates that the date and time of it’s database records don’t match the main database file. I’ve check the date and time settings on the handheld, and they are the correct date and time. What’s the problem?
Answer:
For reference, the date and time should be checked often on any mobile device. If these values are out of synchronization, the data will be written properly to the database, but the date and time will not be accurate.
However, it’s not just setting the correct date and time, but, ALSO MATCHING the date/time FORMAT.
The Date/Time format and separators must match for both the handheld terminal and the PC application database. Review the “Set Short Date Format" section of the handheld information pdf file that was provided in the Documents folder of your downloaded application installation file for the format detail.
