The system menu contains many utilities for managing the entrée system. These utilities include general database maintenance, maintaining costs and prices, as well as the ability to import/export data from the entrée system. The purpose of this chapter is to provide a detailed overview of each of the menu options found on the system menu.

 

The Electronic Warehouse Manager

New to the System Menu in entrée is the Warehouse Manager Dashboard which supports our Electronic Warehouse Manager (EWM) mobile app for Android tablets (formerly the Electronic Loading Sheet, ELS). EWM allows a distributor to very cost effectively automate their order picking processes in the warehouse. Data entered into the tablet is immediately saved on your entrée server. This means that if the tablet stops working (ex: battery goes dead), no data will ever be lost.

 

The Warehouse Manager Dashboard is used to see the activity of your warehouse employees using either entrée.UPC or the newer Electronic Warehouse Manager. This new window will provide a listing of your employees logged in to either the entrée.UPC hand-held scanner or Electronic Warehouse Manager mobile app on an Android tablet and their current activity and productivity.
