The biggest features of this release are focussed on TransLution Configurator. We are working hard to make TransLution quicker and easier to implement and this release includes a complete overhaul of how devices and permissions on those devices are handled. It is now possible to create multiple devices and permissions on those devices in a single step. We have also made it possible now to map fixed values directly to post and log steps meaning that functions are now not only quicker and easier to set up but they contain fewer steps making them easier to manage and maintain.

SafeTop® (Pty) Ltd is one of South Africa’s largest suppliers of fasteners and hardware products in the retail market. Their offering includes 4000 products in their 7000m² warehouse space with more than 150 employees to cater to their clients’ needs all over south Africa and abroad.
With a quickly expanding business, SafeTop needed a dynamic warehouse management system that could cope with a changing technological environment while not losing stability or functionality. Their key requirement was to automatically assign picking jobs to different pickers throughout different areas of their warehouse and arrange these as a whole – prioritised by order date – or as a function of the warehouse manager.
The biggest features of this release are both related to significant look and feel enhancements. We have continued with the work began in Version 5.0 on EazyTouch and have now also included the Test Method Results Capture Overlay and the Password Reset Overlay in the new look and feel.
Dolomite Franchi, an Italy-based dolomite refractory products manufacturer, chose to implement TransLution™ Software in order to reorganize finished goods receipting and improve sales order fulfillment.

The biggest features of this release are both related to significant look and feel enhancements. EazyTouch has been rebuilt to have a much more modern and user friendly interface. At the same time, Android has been extended to include some new features. The final significant change has been the release of User Maintenance and Site Maintenance applications. This change allows TransLution and EazyQuery to share users. It also allows Site with multiple companies and TransLution databases to have shared users defined once only instead of defining them per company as in the past.
As many of you may now know, TransLution™ Software is now available on Android devices. Our future development plans for the TransLution™ Android application are focussed around extending the application to include the same kinds of grids and features you can find in our current EazyTouch product.
What you may not know is we have also been hard at work updating the TransLution™ EazyTouch user interface. This project is near completion, and we aim to have our new design launched within the next few weeks. In the meantime, here is a sneak peak at some of the features and grids that we will be unveiling in our next release.
In mid-2017 the Syllogist Group started working with TransLution™ Software to assist their clients to gain more value from their Syspro investment. With long standing relationships build over years of dedicated service, the Syllogist team recognised that many of their clients needed to add a data tracking and capturing solution to their processes to enhance their client’s stock control and use of Syspro Multi-Bin functionality. Through careful analysis of several different solutions in the market a strategic partnership was established with TransLution™ Software.
G.Fox, a premier supplier of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), cleaning chemicals, paper products, and industrial consumable supplies, has implemented TransLution™ Software to check the organisation’s physical stock against the SYSPRO inventory picture.
In this initial implementation, the G.Fox user scans a barcode which is stored in a custom field in SYSPRO and uses that information to retrieve the Stock Code. TransLution™ then responds by showing the Stock Code on the screen. This code is also found on the item label, allowing the user to alert a supervisor if there is a mismatch. If the inventory item has not been received into SYSPRO, the user is able to see that from the error that is displayed.
TransLution™ Software USA has been working with American Printing House for the Blind (APH) to implement a scanning system that integrated with the organization’s existing SYSPRO system. The American Printing House for the Blind (APH) was founded in Louisville to develop and produce educational materials and provide services for people who are blind and visually impaired.
While APH has been running SYSPRO for a number of years, their decision to implement a scanning system was based on the need to increase stock accuracy and update SYSPRO in real time.
There were a number of enhancements in TransLution™ V4.4 – Release Date 10 Nov 2017. The most significant areas of change is the addition of two new functions, unattended functions and Visual Basic step types.
The extension for unattended functions allows TransLution™ to run functions at any time without operator intervention or frequency intervals.
The addition of Visual Basic Step Types allows TransLution to run Visual Basic to to perform almost any function, for example: posting data that was scanned yesterday or last week to third party software. In addition, this new feature allows users to run Visual Basic whilst scanning which means users can trigger functions such as printing labels directly from a scanner.
