Reporting Made Easy in PICS

Produce Inventory Control System software logoGet everything you need, your way. Every report and form is fully customizable in PICS software, so you get the insights and tools that matter most to you. When creating reports, charts, dashboards, etc. against PICS data, you can use the PICS Report Engine (PRE for short) which we sell and support. We couldn’t make reporting easier if we tried!

Learn more by clicking F1 when you’re logged into PICS and searching for “Accessing the PICS database for reporting”.

GrubMarket’s GrubAssist AI

We can also connect GrubMarket’s GrubAssist AI tool to the PICS database if you’d like. This is an AI tool where users can create reports verbally through conversation with the GrubAssist tool. This is new and very impressive technology. We can arrange a demo if you wish. Note that WaudWare would need to do programming in order for this to work, but we have reviewed the requirements, and it is doable. Explore your options by contacting your WaudWare Support Team today!
