eCotton - a division of EWR Inc. offer the industry’s most popular gin management system computer software that allows your staff to handle the mass of data that flows through a gin both efficiently and effectively. With it you can keep Producer reports, USDA classing, seed sales, ginning charges... all straight.

The eCotton Gin System...

- allows for an unlimited number of producer, farm, and field records.
- allows you to enter loads (trailers or modules) in advance or as they are ginned.
- allows you to enter bales either on the primary system or via a Remote Bale Entry Utility that captures the bale data at the bale scale.
- allows you to provide your producers with up-to-the-minute information regarding the cotton that you have ginned for them.
- can read USDA classing information and warehouse receipt data from a remote file or entered manually.
- gives you the option of recapping cotton for your producers and invoicing for settlement with a cotton buyer on their behalf.
- tracks seed inventory and sales, produces an invoice for each load, and records payments by load.
- generates billing information we call gin statements per load (module) and optionally posts them to eCotton’s AMS Accounts Receivable program.
- provides for ginning charges and credits under a variety of variables (i.e. per bale, per module, per pound of lint, etc.).
- supports multiple sets of data (“entities”). This allows you to maintain ginning data for more than one gin or maintain the data over multiple years with the same program.
- allows for creation of Trucker’s Acceptances or Dray sheets (detailing bale shipments from the gin) at any time.
- permits you to enter up to five contracts with the producer for purchase of seed at specific rates.
- provides options for the transfer of bale ownership from one person to another.
- can optionally make or use remnants with any load recorded in the system.
- allows you to “customize” the program to meet your specific system requirements via system parameters.
- uses simple procedures for entry and editing of load and bale information. Errors can be corrected at any time with a minimum of effort.
- offers restrictive use of program actions to prevent unauthorized users from running the program and altering sensitive data. Very finite levels of restriction can be applied to user names or ID’s.
- features easy access to an on-line help system by simply pressing a key. An explanation of the current option will then appear.
- allows gin managers to review total production information for each shift and thereby gauge shift performance. Time lost due to repairs and maintenance can be closely tracked.
- more than 25 pre-designed reports, including Cotton Board reports. The Custom Report option gives you the power to create your own reports.
- allows for transfer of data to/from the eCotton Warehouse Management System.
- has optional Gin Utilities, which provide additional reporting/analysis capabilities, automatic transfer of information to a variety of coops (i.e. Calcot, Staplcotn, Beltwide), and ASCS Loan/LDP file generation capabilities.
