How to Buy WorkNET

 

The Spectrum Group has created three entry levels when starting with WorkNET.  In this way, you pay for only what you need; thereby reducing entry level costs.  Each entry level of WorkNET is explained below.

Our SpectrumNET programs are WEB BASED applications.  No more loading programs on computers and establishing network connections.  System maintenance costs are virtually eliminated.

WorkNETTM LITE 

What you get with WorkNETTM LITE

WorkNET LITE isn’t really a “LITE” product, but instead is trimmed down version of WorkNET PRO; just a new way of more finely controlling and licensing of various parts of WorkNET.  We have taken the WorkNET PRO product and reconfigured it so that it can be sold in smaller sections.  Under the new licensing structure, there are a number of different thing which can be licensed separately, and therefore, priced separately.  WorkNET is now broken down into a number of “packages,” each of which can be individually enabled or disabled, via licensing. 

The WorkNET LITE Base – This is the foundation of the WorkNET system, and is always required.  It includes basic Work Order Control functions, including the ability create both Work Requests and Work Orders, assign the work to Shops, associate Cost Center for billings or chargeback recovery, and the accumulation of Time and Materials.  WorkNET LITE starts with ZERO WorkCenters, and each WorkCenter, when licensed, will allow the privileged users to enter Time and Material information.

PEOPLE is part of the WorkNET LITE BASE – The personnel module of WorkNET is always required, since that is how user accounts are defined.  However, without WorkNET WorkCenters, it is impossible to let those assigned to a WorkCenter to enter Time and Materials, or produce Estimates.  People can be defined, but they can’t have work assigned  to anyone.  Only the WorkCenter licensing allows work to be assigned to people.

(1) WorkNET WorkCenters – is a licensable add-on – This allows work to be distributed to each WorkCenter (Shop), and the current status made available.  In WorkNET PRO or Ultra, this process is performed electronically, with the actual assignment of work, together with the time and material information being entered by the WorkCenter (Shop).

(2) WorkNET WorkCenter Control – is a licensable add-on – This module allows work to be coordinated across a number of WorkCenters, electronically.  Work can be scheduled to provide the correct sequencing of work and predicts completion dates..  In WorkNET PRO or ULTRA, this process is performed electronically, with the actual assignment of work, together with the time and material information being entered by the WorkCenter (Shop).

(3) WorkNET eWorkRequest – is a licensable add-on – this module allows users from different sites or locations to request work.  The work is then routed through a predefined path for processing and assignment.  Work is assigned to WorkCenters and is tagged by the appropriate administrator as “maintenance” or “chargeback” for billing purposes.  In WorkNET PRO or ULTRA this process is accomplished electronically, with the actual assignment of work, together with the time and material information being entered by the actual work requestor.

(4) WorkNET CostCenter – is a licensable add-on – this module allows managers and WorkCenter Supervisors to access information related to each worker, WorkCenter, Facility, Site, Building, department, and manage their overall budget.  The work information may be retrieved in a number of ways to aid in the Budgeting process.  Funds may be encumbered to show accurate projections of scheduled work in both maintenance funds and budgeted funds. In WorkNET PRO or ULTRA this process is accomplished electronically, with the actual cost information being accumulated for use by managers that are controlling their budget.

All other options, as with the WorkNET LITE, are licensable add-ons, and are available for purchase.

It is our hope that providing these new licensing options, and flexible pricing, we can reach aspects of the Maintenance and Operations Industry.  It is our goal to provide the VERY BEST PRODUCTS to our Maintenance and Operations professional customers, while providing them to our ADVANCED SUPPORT solutions.
