It s a conundrum that, over time, one of the softest elements water can form and shape one of the hardest materials rock. It s also a conundrum to think that simplicity can arise from complexity. But it can. The megatrak Supply Chain Management Suite has a solid, bedrock foundation over which business processes flow as smoothly as water. Unique to this software solution is its ability to be both complex and simple. megatrak is complex in its foundation, yet simple in its delivery. It is complex in its capabilities, yet simple in providing exactly what you need. It is complex in its configurability, yet simple in ease of use. Whether you are a distributor, manufacturer or third-party warehouser, megatrak is a proven software solution that boosts productivity, reduces costs, shortens order fulfillment times and increases customer satisfaction. As a full supply chain materials management system, megatrak includes Warehouse Management, Manufacturing Execution and Freight Management. With megatrak, you can look for efficiencies throughout your processes. For example, does your picking process need to group orders for better throughput?

It then tracks the finished goods back from production to the warehouse. In between, labor can be issued to the work orders at standard or through actual labor reporting. Work order picks to deliver materials to jobs or production areas Issue materials to work orders Back flush materials to work orders Record operational progress Integration with RFID for progress tracking Issue standard labor to work orders Record actual labor to work orders Material receipts from work orders Co-product work order receipts Infrastructure The underlying foundation of megatrak provides outstanding transaction reporting and analysis. megatrak s alerts module provides management by exception capabilities.

T E C H N O L O G Y O V E R V I E W megatrak is the most configurable and flexible supply chain management solution on the market. Every aspect of the software is configurable from the fields shown on screens to the rules controlling data validation, to the processing that occurs upon posting a transaction, to the data and integration points, to your enterprise system. Because every company performs warehouse management and materials management differently, Csoft has taken the unique approach of creating the megatrak Application Engine. This application engine runs against upwards of 200 configuration tables and thousands of configuration parameters to control every aspect of your implementation. In addition to providing extreme flexibility to implement large complex systems, this approach, along with our modular approach to licensing, allows you to implement very basic functionality. In some cases, the basic implementation is the end-result. However, if it is just the first step to a larger, more complex implementation, then Csoft is with you every step of the way. In the end, the configured implementation will provide simple transactions and processes for the users. The complexity of the process happens in the engine and the users are protected from it. This is what we mean by complexity made simple. Reporting All megatrak reports are generated in Crystal Reports, providing our customers with the ability to modify standard reports and/or create new reports as needed. Label Printing We work with many of the label printing engines such as Bartender, Label Matrix, Label View and others. Mobile RF Computers Our system can operate on more than 70 models of handheld computers from vendors such as Motorola Symbol, HHP/Dolphin, Intermec, Datalogic, LXE and others.
megatrak has not only increased our ability to track order fulfillment but has helped us reach 99.9% shipping accuracy. Dioptics Inc. megatrak has helped us streamline our operations as well as improve our bin accuracy levels. New England Ropes
C O M P A N Y O V E R V I E W Bryan Krenzin, founder and president of Csoft, had a dream. After spending years developing warehouse management systems for large customers and implementing packaged warehouse management systems that required extensive customizations to meet customer specs, Bryan wondered what it would be like to have a WMS that was so flexible, so configurable, he could implement any process in any warehouse without having to resort to programmers writing new code. He decided to pursue that dream. Csoft Corporation (the company) and megatrak (the product) are the result. The principals of Csoft bring extensive experience in the areas of warehouse management, materials management, manufacturing systems, business process reengineering and system implementation. Csoft provides implementations and support services directly or through its network of experienced resellers. Csoft released megatrak initially in 2001. The latest version, megatrak 2.75, was released in August 2009. megatrak 3.0 is due out in the second quarter of 2010. In 2004, Csoft started working with SYSPRO as a business partner and completed the initial integrations to the SYSPRO Enterprise Software in 2005. In 2007, Csoft completed its ERP Integration Engine, providing the same level of configurability over the ERP integration as with the rest of the product. Partners Csoft Corporation info@csoftcorp.net www.csoftcorp.net Csoft started a channel program in 2007 and currently works with a network of Referral Partners, Resellers and Implementation Partners throughout the United States.
