DefCapture - Tailored to your Requirements

DefCapture - Flexibility at your Finger Tips

DefCapture provides multiple options for configuration straight "out of the box". If you need a specific change we can do that too. In fact, using the DefCapture rapid development presentation layer, Defacto can create almost any custom work flow with DefCapture, for example, perform a cycle count inventory stock take on the back of a works order kitting issue.

Extending Sage using DefCapture

DefCapture can also provide additional features to extend your Sage installation. Inter-warehouse Transfer can handle multi-unit conversions and break down bulk into individual items. Put-Away can set inspection status. Bin to Bin can move stock allocated to Sage orders. On a larger scale, DefCapture has been used to extend Sage to handle serial numbers.

Sage and Very Large Numbers of Serialized Items

Sage Line 500 and Sage ERP 1000 offer built-in serial number tracking for products and items where the number of serial numbers processed per year is small to medium. But what happens when deliveries of tens of thousands of serial numbered items per drop has to be processed. This scenario offers particular challenges where batches (ranges) of serial number have to be moved in a single transaction.

Dave Usher, lead developer of the feature set for DefCapture, explains, “The inclusion of these new DefCapture features in collaboration with Jera and Vodacom brings new strength to the Sage flagship product range as it moves Line 500 and Sage ERP 1000 into areas not possible before handling very large volumes of serial numbers. We are now planning to develop menu based options to mirror the bar coded data capture versions."

During 2009 Defacto worked closely with Business Partner Jera based in Johannesburg to develop a DefCapture bar code scanning extension to enable Sage to support very large numbers of serialized items (VLNSI). The initial solution has now been installed at Vodacom in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) where it is running live handling millions of serialized Vodacom SIM cards as well as serialized telephone handsets.  Image 

Using the solution we have developed and the experience we have gained of this kind of environment, the ambition is to roll out the same solution to other Vodacom sites in the near future.
