Frequently asked questions about KnarrTek products.
Quick answers about inventory tracking, WIP tracking, barcode scanning, RFID, traceability, ERP integration, pricing, and choosing the right KnarrTek software package.
What is operation control software?
Operation control software helps teams capture, connect, and manage real-time activity across inventory, production, warehouse, quality, labeling, and shipping workflows. Instead of relying on delayed manual updates, teams can use barcode scans, RFID reads, mobile entries, labels, and system integrations to keep operational records current.
What is the difference between inventory tracking software and WIP tracking software?
Inventory tracking software focuses on what materials, containers, lots, or items are on hand and where they are. WIP tracking software goes deeper into production activity by tracking jobs, labor, material usage, routes, work order status, quality checks, scrap, rework, and production movement.
Can KnarrTek replace spreadsheet-based inventory tracking?
Yes. KnarrTek helps teams replace spreadsheet logs with real-time inventory and production tracking workflows. Inventory movements, receiving activity, material usage, job updates, and shipping records can be captured as work happens, which reduces duplicate entry and improves visibility.
Does KnarrTek support barcode scanning?
Yes. KnarrTek software can support barcode scanning for receiving, inventory movement, production activity, material usage, work order tracking, labeling, packing, shipping, and traceability workflows.
Is RFID better than barcode tracking?
RFID can be helpful when teams need faster reads, less line-of-sight scanning, or asset movement visibility. Barcode tracking is often simpler and lower cost for receiving, inventory, WIP, and shipping workflows. Many operations use a hybrid approach.
Can KnarrTek connect to our existing ERP system?
Yes. KnarrTek can support ERP-connected workflows through WIPtracker and SmartOps24x7. Operational data can be shared between shop-floor activity, warehouse movement, barcode scanners, RFID portals, labels, databases, devices, and ERP systems depending on the project scope.
Which KnarrTek package is best for basic inventory tracking?
BellHawk Online is usually the best starting point for teams that need cloud-based inventory tracking, barcode scanning, labor tracking, receiving, shipping, and browser-based visibility without a large on-premise deployment.
Which KnarrTek package is best for manufacturing WIP tracking?
WIPtracker is usually the best fit for manufacturers that need WIP visibility, MES workflows, warehouse control, job status, material traceability, labeling, barcode scanning, RFID readiness, quality tracking, and shop-floor production control.
What is SmartOps24x7 used for?
SmartOps24x7 is used for more complex connected operations that need rules, alerts, integrations, automated monitoring, data exchange, ERP updates, and smart operations oversight across multiple systems or workflows.
How much does KnarrTek software cost?
BellHawk Online starts at $450 per month, and WIPtracker starts at $900 per month based on annual prepayment. SmartOps24x7 is quoted by scope because integration complexity, rules, alerts, adapters, and system monitoring needs can vary by operation.
