An exceptional feature of SEQOS, particularly in view of its comprehensive warehouse and stock management capability, is its ease and simplicity of use by the warehouse and store staff. Since each step in stock management is prompted on the operator's RF screen, and full use is made of barcode scanning for every stock management process, only a modest level of staff education is required. This ease of use translates into short training periods, high productivity, minimal human supervision and staff management, and ease of staff replacements.

While stock processing examples in this document anticipate use of RF scanning equipment in real time, many of the operating and cost-reduction benefits of SEQOS are not limited to the use of RF technology, but are also available  through printed lists and reports of all system operations, and manual entry from those lists and reports into PC screens.   

Every stock "transaction" in the warehouse is automatically recorded on a secure read-only Audit Trail in real time. Each entry in the audit trail includes the employee's ID, the date and time of the transaction, the stock ID, the transaction type, and the transaction details. This is a permanent record from which numerous reports are available, including employee productivity reports. Use of these employee reports for staff management considerably reduces or eliminates the need for task-by-task and face-to-face staff management.

SEQOS provides more than 50 standard reports, including KPIs, numerous aspects of stock and staff management, stocktake management, despatch documentation, PODs. Since all data is retained indefinitely (unless deliberately purged by the system owner), daily, weekly, monthly, annual and seasonal data can be included in management reports.

MYOB and SEQOS can each be viewed as Microsoft Windows applications in the same computer or on the same network. An MYOB user can therefore readily switch from any MYOB screen to any SEQOS screen (this is the same Windows operation as switching from Microsoft Word to Microsoft Excel, for example), and can directly access the numerous SEQOS reports. SEQOS reports can be viewed on the same screen as MYOB, or can be produced on a printer used for MYOB (if desired), either locally or on a network.
