Chemical Inventory System (CISTM)

The Chemical Inventory System (CIS) is a high performance database system designed specifically for tracking chemicals and laboratory supplies. CIS can be used in a single user mode or in a network environment. The system stores a variety of essential information about each chemical and supply item.

Information stored for each chemical record includes the name, ID#, Expiration Date, MSDS ID, Formula, Vendor, Catalog Number, two container size definitions, storage locations, on-hand quantities, hazard information, NFPA handling codes, special handling equipment, spill control protocol, costs, and synonyms.

The user can maintain an unlimited number of sub-locations for each item with individual on-hand quantities for each location. Vendor information is linked to each record making re-ordering out-of-stock items a snap. CIS can generate Code39 bar-codes for labeling containers and contains a wide variety of search and sorting routines. CIS allows the user to specify an unlimited number of synonyms (or alternate names) for any chemical. Chemical names are sorted by chemical conventions. The user can apply restrictions to the database to temporarily reduce the number of viewed records.

CIS provides an optional Transaction Logging mechanism which allows facilities to monitor or removal of an item. Item, date, location, user, and reason can be easily logged. The system can produce reports and warnings when an item is below a user-specified level.

The user can maintain multiple databases, and import/export data from various system tables. An extensive array of reports is included for listing chemicals and supplies, including reorder reports, hazard information reports and sub-location reports. For custom reports, Crystal Reports can access CIS databases.

The program is designed to be very easy to use, with extensive on-line help and a complete tutorial for new users. The program can be linked to a separate document imaging application for storage and retrieval of MSDS data,  the MSDS Digital File Cabinet, (sold seperately).

Requires Windows™ 3.1, Windows 95, 98, or NT.
