ODBC

Your inventory information is a valuable corporate resource. Now you can provide tooling information to users throughout your organization, by allowing access to this information with standard windows applications. The CRIBWARE Open Access module provides query, report creation and data integration with other ODBC applications. Tool related information drives production, purchasing, and management decisions. CRIBWARE now makes this information readily available to your company's personnel.

The CRIBWARE Open Access Module offers an ODBC compliant version of the CRIBWARE database for external data querying of your tool management system.
