Franklin DataManager is a fully comprehensive job costing and employee time clock program. DataManager allows the user to capture employee, material and activity costs throughout your printing facility. Employees simply log in to activities throughout their shift and enter materials that are used on each job. The program creates hundreds of reports from this information giving the user the exact information needed to see exactly how much a job cost to produce, which customers are the most/least profitable, which sales reps bring in the most/least profitable jobs, which employees are most/least productive, etc. DataManager shares a database with the Franklin Estimator eliminating the need to double enter employees, jobs, etc.

The Franklin Asset Manager is a program that solves two issues in most printing facilities. The first solution is the creation of a Budgeted Hourly Rate that is customized specifically for your facility. The machine rates that Franklin publishes yearly are extremely accurate but they are the national average selling value.
This means that the rates that are provided by Franklin are based on a national average. As we all know every print facility’s equipment, overhead, wages, etc, are unique, which depending on the how fierce the competition is may make a huge difference in you getting the job or not getting the job. The Franklin Asset Manager allows the user to enter the user’s specific information and costs into the program and come up with an hourly equipment rate that is specific to their facility. The program is quick and easy to set up and will improve the accuracy of your hourly rates instantly.
The second solution that the Franklin Asset Manager offers is the maintenance manager. This application allows the user to enter all of the facility’s equipment into a database along with a maintenance schedule. The program allows the user to pull reports that display an upcoming maintenance schedule along with a maintenance history of maintenance items. The program also tracks parts inventory for the said equipment.
