Most barcode scanning solutions require the use of third-party applications with their own native scripting languages. As a result, when problems arise, or if you simply want to make a change or perform an upgrade, you’ll almost inevitably have to hire consultants to rework your scripts so they’ll be compatible with the changes you’re implementing. Often, consultants will not be able to change scripts written by someone else, so they’ll simply write new scripts, with the result that, as time goes on more and more scripts accumulate in your architecture. This can lead to some annoying hassles, including a loss of efficiency.
ERP Suites Scanability has the capacity to streamline your scripting process, benefiting your overall operations in the following ways.
Because it’s based entirely on JD Edwards Orchestrations and requires no third-party applications and/or special scripting, ERP Suites Scanability functions as a natural extension of your native JD Edwards architecture. One benefit of this approach is the ability to chain multiple orchestrations together, with the result that you’re able to handle more processes with fewer scripts. You’ll no longer need a separate script for each process you run. In some instances, we’ve been able to reduce the number of scripts required by as much as fifty percent after installing Scanability.
When you’re forced to have separate scripts for all of your processes, you end up complicating your user interfaces. This, in turn, also complicates the user training process because users have so much more to keep track of. Chaining multiple orchestrations together helps simplify the situation, allowing your users to train faster and interact with the system more quickly and efficiently.
Because most barcode scanning solutions require third-party applications written in their own native coding—and, often, additional support hardware as well—installing and implementing them can be a tedious and involved process. Eliminating the need for so many individual scripts, and simplifying the user training process, allows ERP Suites Scanability to significantly streamline the initial implementation and any future upgrades, getting you up and running faster.
