With increasing numbers of sub-contract precision engineers investing in PSL Datatrack production control software to manage and streamline their entire production process, Bracknell-based PSL Datatrack has published a new ‘Implementation Plan’ that is designed to steer customers through the implementation process swiftly and achieve a maximum return on investment in the shortest possible time.

The 12-page document covers typical system flow for core modules and is designed for use in conjunction with a dedicated user training plan. Aside from training, the guide covers key topics that include installation, data transfer/input, system security and the use of ‘Help Files’.

It also explains how to navigate between the core modules that are typically used. An introduction to creating customer quotations, generating works orders and purchasing materials to receiving goods, preparing delivery notes and invoices are all covered by the plan.

With all installation and training hosted online since the Covid-19 outbreak, the plan has become a useful reference tool during video calls and screen sharing sessions provided by the PSL Datatrack support team.

A phased approach can be taken to implementation to ensure installation and training are carried out with limited impact on the day-to-day running of a customer’s businesses. The same flexible approach can also be taken when a customer chooses to go live on one or more modules at a later date.
