Production Focused

We understand the production environment and that workers' time is expensive. For this reason we created I-GUIDES^® to manage item data and markings with a minimal impact on production workflows. With I-GUIDES^®, your employees work on your products, not managing item data.

Comprehensive

Create > Mark > Verify > Manage > Transmit
From raw data, I-GUIDES^® generates the unique UII, the two-dimensional matrix code, the label for printing, the platform for verification and audit, the compliant data transmittal file and the registry submission.

Compliant

CodeSource not only manages I-GUIDES^®, but also uses it for its own UID needs. A dedicated program and development team is committed to ensuring that I-GUIDES^® remain current with evolving DoD requirements.

Fast and Simple to Implement

I-GUIDES^® is specifically designed to facilitate rapid installation and set-up, minimizing demands on your system administrators. The user-friendly interface makes the system easy to learn.

Browser-based

All instances of I-GUIDES^® are accessed through a web browser. I-GUIDES^® supports all major browsers.

I-GUIDES^® was designed for the production management environment, its genesis prompted by a lean, six sigma Kaizan event.

Early on we discovered the power of using a UID system to relate key fields in our legacy systems. UID can establish a common relationship across the enterprise, be it a single business or the Department of Defense. This standardization allows for multiple ways to achieve lean success; better accounting, improved response time and reduced inventory.

The challenge was to translate UID into meaningful data for multiple legacy platforms in each business without reinventing each system.

I-GUIDES^® has met the challenge.
