New service helps upstream operations track stock
StockNet, one of a new generation of web-based reporting services for the industry’s upstream operations, is designed to transform the way stock is tracked.
Features include simplicity, ease, and speed of use. Training rarely takes more than 15 min, and it can enable users to raise a manifest in 2 or 3 min, the company points out.
StockNet is designed to incorporate all logistics information and make it easy to share and transfer. Its master equipment list can be shared, and all the information can be viewed offshore, in advance. The purchasing tool allows users to raise purchase orders, while a link to the firm’s CostNet service allows invoice generation. The drag and drop facility to build manifests and load-out lists helps eliminate the time spent creating multiple spreadsheets and the errors associated with cutting and pasting.
The system incorporates a rental register and even flags up a reminder if items remain on hire for longer than intended. Being web-based, StockNet is easy to share with vendors and partners and can be used as a stand-alone system or as part of a wider package while background synchronization helps ensure that all nodes of the service are up to date, the company says.
It is also possible within StockNet to scan the certification documentation and attach it to the inventory list right at the line item level.
The service allow users to be given different rights of access through secure and personalized accounts. All data are stored and backed up on remote servers and are easily recoverable, the firm notes.
