Company Overview
Welcome to Advanced Software, Inc.
Advanced Software was founded in 1991 by the current President, Joseph Hentz. Joseph used his extensive knowledge of ERP Systems and packaging to design a dynamic system that would address the job shop needs of the box business as well as the ERP requirements of larger packaging plants. Today, ASI supports packaging plants producing corrugated boxes, folding cartons, foam fabrication, point of purchase displays, assembled partitions, die cuts, paperboard products, as well as distribution of packaging supplies. The software addresses the needs of each industry with custom written programs that are both comprehensive and easy to use while automating the entire office, plant and supply chain via a tightly integrated system. Advantzware provides a flexible and comprehensive design that streamlines the data entry to the specific industry. In just a few minutes, you can add an estimate and email a quote, then convert a quote into an order which simultaneously creates a finished good item, increases customer account balances, allocates inventory levels and updates the scheduling board. Then, with a few clicks you can email an order acknowledgment, print the shop ticket, create a purchase order for board and print the packing list to generate the bill of lading. Vendor tags for materials receipts are scanned and issued to work in progress and shop floor data posts machine hours to the job cost system in real time. Once finished goods are completed, bar coded pallet tags are scanned and added to the delivery tickets. Once signed and verified, an invoice is printed which updates accounts receivable, general ledger and inventory. Throughout the entire process, management has real time visibility of the entire company.
