In managing inventory and consumables, it is ideal to manage without excesses or shortages. However, it is not easy to thoroughly manage "what, where, and how many” in stock. An inventory management system using handheld terminals is a cutting-edge method to break away from analog management, but there are issues such as “high initial cost” and “require time-consuming in-house training.”

"BRIGHT KEEPER" is a simple inventory management software that is reasonably priced by focusing on the minimum necessary functions. It features easy and simple operability and supports Thai, Japanese, and English languages as standard functions.

Easy and simple inventory management software BRIGHT KEEPER

"BRIGHT KEEPER" is the software that eliminates manual entry into Excel and handwriting on paper by linking with handy scanners and label printers enabling efficient, waste-free inventory management. Despite its reasonable price, the software covers all the functions necessary for inventory management, including incoming/outgoing, shelf shifting, stock-taking, and order point management, and it can be customized to meet users' unique needs for report formats and management items.

In addition, advanced functions such as process management and incoming/outgoing inspection are available as additional functions, but these can be expanded as needed. The basic software can be used first, and consider adding functions while observing the situation.

"We want to provide easy-to-use software at a reasonable price." That is the background of development and sales expansion in Thailand

BRIGHT KEEPER was developed by BRIGHT SYSTEM JAPAN CO., LTD., which provides IT services for Japanese-affiliated companies in Thailand, after being approached by KEYENSE, the largest handheld terminal manufacturer.

Standard Features of BRIGHT KEEPER

・Handy scanner / KEYENCE
The handy scanner can capture operation records such as incoming/outgoing and display them on the system in real-time. An application for the handy scanner is also provided.

・Label Printer / SATO
In conjunction with a label printer, supports the issuance of barcode labels such as product barcodes and delivery sheets.

・Cover basic functions
Management of incoming/outgoing, shelf shifting, stock-taking, and order points. Ideal for managing office consumables and tools at production sites.

・Supports other languages
Supports Thai, Japanese, and English languages as standard. "BRIGHT KEEPER" is the only software in Thailand that supports other languages as standard.

Mr. Suenaga, the managing director of BRIGHT SYSTEM, which played a leading role in the development, said, "Just because it's large-scale or multi-functional doesn't mean it's useful. We needed a product that was easy to use and 'helpful' ‘can reach the itchy parts’." The result was this software, which can be easily linked to KEYENCE's handy scanner, and the basic package can be delivered immediately.

YN2-TECH (THAILAND) CO., LTD. used this software and was so impressed with its ease of use, that it came forward to undertake the expansion of the sales. Mr. Nakamura, the managing director of the company, said, "The point is that it is easy to use even for Thai staff with a two-hour course. The days when only the inventory management department and the person in charge need to understand the flow of goods is over. Access by anyone, anywhere, at any time, is the key to true cost reduction." As a trading company that has handled many goods, money, and documents, it understands the difficulties of inventory management and appreciates its high level of convenience. The parent company, Nakamura Kiko (Japan), also implemented and operated the system, has acquired the sales rights in Japan, and imported from Thailand as the sole agent in Japan for BRIGHT KEEPER and sells and supports it. Mutual coordination of inventory management between the head office in Japan and the subsidiary in Thailand can also be realized at a low cost by using the cloud-based BRIGHT KEEPER.

SATO, which boasts the No.1 market share for label printers in Japan, is in charge of system integration. In Thailand also, the company is highly trusted as a manufacturer that can be consistently entrusted with maintenance. Mr. Kitamura of SATO AUTO-ID (THAILAND) CO., LTD. said, "Because we also manufacture labels ourselves, we can offer total solutions from systems to labels. In addition to Japanese SEs, we have Thai SEs. It is also possible to receive direct inquiries directly from Thai on-site staff," analyzing the company's strengths.

The all dots were connected, and a set-up to expand the sales of “BRIGHT KEEPER” in Thailand is established. Systems and terminals are all provided by Japanese-affiliated companies working together, offering peace of mind even after installation.

Start with simple basic software! Flexible customization available according to needs　

"BRIGHT KEEPER" not only systemizes inventory management, but it is also very useful for companies that already have a cloud system in place. The following are some ideas for use by customers who have utilized the software.

Recommended usage
・Equipment management of each department
・Parts management for the maintenance department
・Management of consumables (drills, inserts, etc.) at machining sites
・Traceability management at the completion of the production process

Because it is a simple mechanism of "just issue a code and read it with a scanner", it can be used in a variety of ways depending on the ideas. The developer, Mr. Suenaga, expects it to be useful in eliminating the 3Ms (Muri: Overburden, Muda: Waste, and Mura: Unevenness) in various situations.

Let's start with the basic software and experience the ease and simplicity of operation and convenience.
