Integrated Barcoding Systems Introduces QuikTrac Ò4.5

New Software Solution Extends MAPICS System To the Warehouse or Shop Floor Without Any Host Modifications

Ann Arbor, Michigan - June 25, 2001 - Integrated Barcoding Systems, a leading solutions provider of data collection technology and services, today announced the release of QuikTracÒ 4.5.   The new screen integration tool allows Mapics users to extend their ERP/MRP system out to the warehouse or shop floor without any modifications to their existing host code or interfacing into their system's database.

QuikTrac 4.5 allows users to take their Mapics Inventory transaction like TW, RP, IS, SS, IW RD, and Location Inquiry transactions and map them down to a wireless fixed or portable data collection device. This functionality enables users to interact with their Mapics software from a remote location in real-time, without costly and long-term modifications to the host.

        According to Andy Jacobs, president of Integrated Barcoding Systems, "With the simplicity of QuikTrac, end users can now have their data collection system up and running in four days or less GUARENTEED.  Previously, the demand for real-time information required users to know a programming language in order to develop their system and connect it to a database.  Today, all a user needs to know is how to use a mouse and they can develop or make changes to an existing screen in minutes."

"The implementation of the QuikTrac system is so easy because the Mapics user's ERP system does all of the work," continued Jacobs.  "QuikTrac just provides a real-time interactive tool to allow them to extend the Inventory transaction to the floor.  QuikTrac does not compete with Mapics Paperless, but compliments it by providing the wireless Inventory transactions out to their shop floor.  Because this is fast and simple to implement, the total cost of the solution is a fraction of the cost of other solutions that requiring special programming.  "
