Hi, I don't have a solution for you (yet) but a suggestion to allow people to answer you in the correct context. Can you describe the requirements of the new system with some more specifics, like: how many unique part numbers (and locations) are involved?; how many concurrent users?; interfaced to an automated picking-system?; if current data entry is on terminals do you want to keep them?; if not a full 'WMS' then what features are important?
Even with those answers, we're still in the 'guesstimate' category here... HTH

Per wrogers response:
Less than 600 SKUs that can be in any of 3-5 locations, 20-30 concurrent users, non-interfaced, will need access to system from approx 10-15 PCs, important features are putaway/receiving and line replenishment. Basically, I just need something that will tell the unloaders where a new shipment goes and other workers where to find an item when a line needs to be replenished.
Unfortunately, most US-based companies do not address this sort of software. If you are willing to pay moderate pricing, you might want to look at UK-based Peregrine Systems' IntraTools Desktop Discovery.
IDD is an asset management and tracking system in which you run a scan on a computer. The scan will gather both hardware and application data by recognizing appication "fingerprints". It will then send a fingerprint inventory file to the cascade server (running on a remote workstation orserver) for processing into the asset database.
Remote access is no problem as long as you can see the server as a UNC address, you can upload to it. In addition, the software has the ability to order specific numbers of connection licenses asyou may require.

Maybe I didn't explain it very well. There are a lot of US companies that do this type of locator software.
Thanks for the response.
