Removal of Inventory Constraints on Materials (materials can now be defined as on-inventory) . Enhanced Material Picker . Open Allocations Issued Upon Close of Work Orders .

Trakware Systems (www.trakware.com) announced the business availability of TRAKware v6, the leading software solution for To-Order enterprises which have deep interdependencies between engineering and manufacturing processes. From the initial customer order to final installation, TRAKware is poised to deliver an experience unmatched in the industry, including significant enhancements over earlier version 5.
According to Randy Richel, P.Eng., CEO and General Manager of Canadian-based Trakware, "Enterprise software built for repetitive manufacturing needs massive amounts of customization to even begin to adequately handle the complex, unique, one-time requirements of custom-engineered products. The newest TRAKware Solution is ready to meet these challenges by bringing an "on the manufacturing floor" innovated application to allow To-Order (engineer to order, make to order) environments a competitive edge to manufacture today's complex products."
Richel also noted, "Early adopters of TRAKware v6 expect dramatic gains in profitability and productivity through capabilities that address core business issues in new ways. Over 40% of our customers have already upgraded to v6."
