FSI's most important success story is yet to be told. It's the one in which your organization becomes more adaptive, productive, and profitable with the help of our applications. The story begins when you call us at 1-800-868-2559.
Accounting:                    Interfacing with MAS 90 or Great Plains accounting software is easily accomplished and we can interface with most accounting applications - transferring pertinent accounting data to your application.
Security - hardware:     Be it a secure infrastructure, considering the internet and servers networking or wirless access points with roaming data access, FSI can lock down your configuration - Firewalls, WEP encryption and MAC address security measures can be evaluated to best fit your needs.
Security - software:      With employee access to your system, security has been implemented to allow Logon by user name and password. Even beyond this, our applications provide an additional level of user access rights established by the administrator account which specifies exactly who is able to enter which module. Then, the administrator may enable read, write or both attributes to each sub-module/function for each user. This establishes a very secure environment for companies with many users and/or locations.
Wireless connectivity:  Designed for the integration of wireless peripherals. Based on the 801.11-b/g wireless protocols, these devices include real-time WiFi handheld computers, printers, bar code printers, and workstations, which seamlessly work in a LAN, WAN or WWAN environment.
Roaming data access: The wireless (WiFi) roaming mobility available in our systems increase efficiency by allowing employees to move from task to task without being tethered to a workstation. Mobility allows employees to increase production by performing several tasks in non-stationary job duties.
RFID Bar Code tags:    Our Jett Handheld Windows based computers operate in a batch mode and a WiFi mode. The Jett line of Handhelds is superior in durability and ease of use for a business environment. Besides the WiFi advantages, they may also be accessorized with an RFID panel for the reading of RFID Bar Code tags. Once the tags are "read" wirelessly the handheld can transmit their data to the host system for a wide variety of warehouse, material, asset, inventory, scheduling and product status scenarios.
Digital Imaging:              Companies that require visual proof of identification or tracking of products/assets can utilize the "Vision Scan" technology that is also available for the Jett Handheld. This gives you a 5-mega pixel digital image and is very suitable for sending digital proofs to customers for their approval. This can be applied to internal procurement, proof of status or on the distribution side. The process is quick and the results are outstanding.
