QualTrax® document management software integrated with new computer hardware solutions from CCS, reduces costs and increases revenues by inexpensively distributing and managing important data throughout an enterprise.

CHRISTIANSBURG, VA (June 7, 2004) – Companies worldwide are reducing waste, downtime and communication problems with QualTrax document management software. QualTrax is a universal, Web-based tool that links organizations from the production line to the executive offices. Integrating QualTrax with the new TECStation™ product also from CCS provides a unique competitive advantage for any manufacturing operation.

TECStation is a comprehensive workstation solution that combines the latest electronic technology with the protection of a NEMA-rated enclosure. TECStation protects electronic devices in the harshest manufacturing and production environments, where dust, dirt, moisture, splashing, spray and corrosive materials are the norm.
Running QualTrax on TECStation makes it even easier to communicate and manage important company information throughout an organization. “A good EDM [electronic document management] system pushes higher value-add activities lower into the company’s organizational hierarchy. Therefore, more employees have access to critical decision-making data,” comments Marty Muscatello, President of CCS-Inc.

Since TECStation is designed to run in harsh environments, workers on the factory floor will have the same easy access to this important data via QualTrax software. Providing all employees view-only access to standard operating procedures, policies, drawings and good manufacturing practices, QualTrax dramatically reduces costs associated with scrap and rework. These employees also have the ability to request edits to documentation which can significantly improve their buy-in to new policies and enhance their commitment to continuous process improvements.

Getting more employees involved, reducing rework, and leveraging previously under-utilized information creates an environment where costs can be reduced and productivity increased. QualTrax customer, Bill McLaughlin of Marshfield Food Safety notes, “QualTrax is the best solution for EDM needs.” Combining this powerful EDM solution with computer hardware for your factory floor or loaded on traditional desktop PCs, can prove significant cost-savings.
