integrated/converted.
Q: How are MSDSs entered into EMS and how are they

generic MSDS records, and a chemical reference database of

of Lists.
Q: Is EMS ODBC compatible?

and operates on various database platforms including Oracle

all related inventory and MSDS records are automatically
updated.

you comply with government regulations thereby avoiding
costly fines. EMS will warn you when reports are due and
quickly print them.

inventory/waste item. A label with the barcode can be
attached to this item. Field inventory will be quick and
easy from here on. Just scan the barcode label, change the
quantity on hand, maybe move it to a different location and
you are done. The data can be uploaded to EMS and all your
records will automatically be updated.
