B. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

1) Web enabled ordering from any PC, Laptop, iPad or PDA using wireless or cabled internet access.

Ordering from any vendor to replenish a supply room is available on any computer or device with internet connectivity. An electronic “check sheet” may also be used to allow a “Unit” or internal point of usage to request items for restock from a supply room. The Check Sheet Application can be run on any device (Windows, Android, or IOS operating Systems). It is recommended that the device screen size is no smaller than a tablet for best performance.

2) Ability to load multiple facility locations for ordering and reporting. System allows for unlimited supply rooms or physical locations that are replenished by receiving an order or from receiving inventory transferred from another supply room. Supplies are managed through the supply rooms and out to the points of usage (“Units”). Another Option to easily manage inventory in outlying facilities is to create an electronic check sheet where a facility (known as a “Unit”) can periodically inventory what is on-hand and request replenishment for items that are below Par Level from the warehouse. Reporting is available on all transactions.

3) Password protection for multiple users for different locations. System is secure with customizable roles and access that can be dynamically assigned to unlimited employees. The agency can define and assign security roles to permit or restrict access to components of the system and Supply Rooms. Each crew member will have unique log in credentials to gain access to the allowed components using their logon

ID and password. System does not display passwords when being entered for security purposes; Agency administration can reset a password or Forgotten Password emails may be sent from the system If crew emails are available. Active Directory is also available, and the same login and password can be used to access Operative IQ as done to login to Windows.

4) Ability to manage inventory levels at multiple locations. An Agency may set up unlimited Supply

Rooms for the account regardless of how many Unit licenses are enabled. Each Supply Room allows for each product to have its own Re-Order and Par Level. Each Supply Room profile has a section for name, address, contact/manager, and whether supply requests send to the room should be to be managed by a supervisor in the Back Office or set to Auto Accept to track requested inventory leaving a supply room if crew members restock Unit themselves. Additional Units can be added as needed as well.

5) Ability to add more locations as needed. An Agency may set up unlimited Supply Rooms for the account. Import, Export and Cloning available to help with mass amounts of data. In addition, a specific location in a Supply Room is available to assign to items for exact location within a location. Additional

Units may be added as well (License fees are based on the number of Units)

6) Ability to generate orders for all locations. Any Supply Room may generate an order (requisition or PO) to any vendor via PDF (that may be printed and faxed) or via email. Because the system is tracking live inventory, the system can also recommend the items that should be ordered to bring each supply room up to its fully restocked Par Levels. Orders can then be received against the PO in the system and the ability to then receive the orders electronically into each supply room closes the PO and updates live inventory counts in the room. A “Unit” or point of supply usage may also generate and “order” or request for restock from a supply room using an electronic check sheet.

7) Barcode process enabled (in relation to inventory receiving, shipping and usage). Products can be identified in solution in many ways, including by barcode. Existing Barcodes can be loaded into an agency’s site or barcodes for specific items can be generated in and printed easily from the system.

Although inventory management transactions (such as receiving into a supply room, cycle counting to

Bid #26-34, Miscellaneous Medical Supplies for Fire Department – Annual Contract Page 15 of 28 update batches or quantity on hand, and issuing inventory to capture usage) can be performed by clicking on items or searching items by keyword, barcode scanning can increase efficiency and minimize errors in some cases. Barcodes allow Agency to quickly receive inventory, count inventory, issue inventory, transfer inventory and check in and out assets. Scanning item barcodes reduce the opportunity for error over keying in codes.

8) Barcode to provide inventory trail and ability to track items purchased, received and used to ensure accuracy. In inventory solution, a barcode is simply a unique identifier for an item/asset, or a group of disposable items being managed. Although the barcode itself does not provide an inventory trail, using barcodes to performing inventory transactions can accuracy and efficiency and a complete transaction history of any and all items in the system is available in reports. Print Barcode Labels for any item from parts list. System has the capability to assign and print off barcode labels and barcode scanning greatly enhances efficiency when managing inventory and assets.

9) E-mail alert notifications to vendors and the System Manager. Email Purchase Orders directly to suppliers from inventory solution and receive order confirmation from vendor. There is an option to add

Approvers based off monetary levels where they would receive an email to approve a purchase order after the Save Draft button has been selected. When a Purchase Order is created and ready for Approval, a notification will be sent via e-mail to the appropriate Approver at Agency. Manage recipients for notifications based on Supply Room/Location. Notifications are sent for Supply Requests and when a response to a question on the questionnaire is flagged to notify a supervisor. When a Supply Request is submitted from the electronic Check Sheet after a User performs an inspection or checks all inventory, a notification will be sent to appropriate Administrators. When a Supply Request is fulfilled the Check

Sheet will notify the approval. Configurable questionnaires allow Users to perform Unit and Station

Inspections. Notifications can be routed via email to anyone in Organization. A report can be configured to generate and send e-mails to anyone in Organization at a preferred frequency to include items that are not available through other notification methods and sent via e-mail notification on a regular basis.

10) Multi-level authorization of orders (draft, pending, and authorized). All purchase orders are given a

Status depending on each one’s stage: in a Draft or Open status, known as In Process. Purchase Order summary list can be filtered by Supply Room, Supplier and Status. As new statuses occur to orders, they will be displayed in the Status drop down filter.
