REPORTS AND DATA EXCHANGE

D-CALC^® FACADE provides a wide range of reports on material requirements and optimized cutting reports. All production reports and customer documents are user definable. This includes specifying the content of the document, standard notes, page headers and footers, margins, fonts and font sizes, line spacing, totaling and sub-totaling fields, etc. as well as including your company logo. Data can also be accessed through third-party reporting tools, such as Crystal Reports as well as Microsoft^® Access or other spreadsheets, and databases.

Following is a list of commonly used standard reports:

Quotation/Proposal

Reports can be generated one at a time or in report groups or batches with no additional prompting. D-CALC^® FACADE  reports can support graphics of the product elevations as well as the profiles allowing you to generate reports such as cutting lists showing an image of the profile to be cut.

D-CALC^® FACADE supports batching of jobs for reports and optimization. Therefore, several jobs can be consolidated together, optimized and fabrication reports, cut lists and labels produced. The program will maintain the job number, job name, item number and other specific information to ensure that the shop can easily stage the proper material for the individual projects.

In addition, because of D-CALC^® FACADE'S file format, all data within the program can be easily exchanged with other applications making the program an ideal configurator solution to existing MRP/ERP solutions, project management programs, spreadsheets and data bases or other applications where you need to share data.

Customers have created elaborate custom in-house solutions by use of our open data structure to meet their very specific and demanding needs. Because of the programs open and published format, these applications and links can be written either in house, by local consultants or by  D-CALC^® America.

D-CALC^® FACADE also has a Active-X plug-in  SEG control (native  D-CALC^® drawing format) which allows the end user to insert any drawing from  D-CALC^® FACADE directly into their Microsoft^® Word or other Microsoft^® application. D-CALC^® FACADE  can also share all or part of its database with other software by using Open Database Connectivity (ODBC).
