WAREHOUSE
MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
Monson Companies utilizes an
inventory management system called Chempax 5.1. Chempax 5.1 allows for
database retention, enabling the ease of tracking by lot/batch and
product history as well as providing Bills of Lading that are in full
compliance with all regulatory requirements. This program is a
comprehensive chemical warehouse management system that provides our
organization with the tools and the data required to meet the
ever-changing needs of not only our customers, but your customers as
well.
AN
AUTOMATED SAFETY DATA SYSTEM
In a continual
effort to improve customer service, we have fully automated the
processing of all Material Safety Data Sheet. The automated system
scans each new data sheet into our AS400 mainframe computer, then
automatically faxes it to the proper customer. Automating the MSDS
process allows the most timely responses to our customers and
helps them to handle and store all of our products safely.
DOCUPAX
Docupax is a
document management system designed specifically to handle the
document needs of the chemical industry. It comes to us from
Datacor, the same company that sells Chempax and LabelPax. Docupax
is closely tied to Chempax, using the same product, customer and
supplier files. The key component of Docupax is the program
itself, which handles the storage and indexing of the documents
and automatically distributes MSDS’s to customers. In addition
there are several third-party products that work together with
Docupax to give it the full functionality.
