trust in PICS software for fresh produce

The last thing you want (or need) when running a fresh produce operation is DOUBT. Did it work? Will it work? Can I confidently say, yes! I can trace this product order back to its origin?

Trusted. Reliable. Powerful. That’s Produce Inventory Control System (PICS) software. Feature rich, fully supported, and backed by decades of produce industry experience.

PICS software demo

Is today the day? We’ve love to show you how PICS works with a live demo starring our General Manager (and all-round nice guy) F. Charles Waud.

Here are the enhancements we made to PICS software last month

  • We have added a Label Multiplier for Storage Unit Items field to the customer table which will be used to make additional labels if the multiplier is greater than 1.
  • We have enhanced the Stock Adjustments screen such that users can enter the Lot # in the Stock # field and then tab out. This will cause PICS to fill the Stock Number, move the Lot # to the Lot # field, fill the Sub-Location (if there is only one) and allow them to then enter the quantity, adjustment type and comment.
  • We have added an EmFx Send Delay In Minutes system control. When sending something via EmFx, the send can be delayed by a certain number of minutes. This allows the sender to cancel or change it before it actually goes out. This system control is the default for that setting.
  • We have added a “Prevent special characters in Stock number” system control. If this is set to the default of Y, then the stock number in PICS can only contain the following characters: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890!#$%^*-_+=

Other enhancements we recently made to PICS software

  • The Last Numbers screen is now finished in PICS 3.0. You can use it to set the last number for several different transaction types in PICS.
  • We have added a temporary restriction on changing the last number value for entities in PICS. If you change the last number for something, please be aware that the new sequence you use must be higher than the previous sequence. We currently do not support changing the last number to be in a range which is lower than the previous last number. For example, it is ok to go from 200,001 to 400,001 but not to go from 400,001 to 200,001. When the next PICS build is installed, the numbering of any items which were changed like this in the past will change to the higher range. This change is necessary as we make the final changes to PICS 3.0, and work towards divorcing it from PICS 2.5. Once that is done, this restriction will be removed.

We are ready to help you do business better with software written specifically for the fresh produce industry and supported by the best team in the business. Check out what PICS customers are saying!
