Organization
When a company purchases Stratosphere from Terso Solutions, an organization is created just for them. The organization is a distinct, customizable, and secure partition inside of Stratosphere.
Changes made to the organization will impact how your entire Stratosphere application runs. Configurable options include custom logos, custom support information, and feature toggling.
The Organization page consists of two tabs:
- Organization Profile
- Add/Remove Features
The "Organization Management" role is required to view or edit the Organization page. Users without this role will not have access. Please contact your system administrator if you believe this role should be applied to you.
The organization profile contains a variety of data about your organization, including the ability to add support info and a custom logo. The fields on this page are all editable. Simply clicking "Save Changes" at the bottom of the page will apply all edits. Leaving the page without clicking "Save Changes" will prevent edits from being applied. Below are the editable fields, along with a short description:
- Name* - The name of your organization. This will most likely be the name of your company. This name does not appear anywhere else on the Stratosphere website, but it will be used in emails:
- Informing users that they have been granted website access to your Stratosphere Organization.
- Informing users their website access to your Stratosphere Organization has been revoked.
- Address - The street address of your company headquarters. This address is not currently used or displayed anywhere else.
- City - The city in which your company headquarters is located. This info is not currently used or displayed anywhere else.

- File Size must be less than 5 MB.
- File type must be JPG or PNG.
- Image Size should be roughly 190px wide by 50px tall.
- RFID Tag EPC Settings - The length and prefix requirements for RFID Tag EPC values entered when adding Items to your organization. RFID Tag EPC values are always required to be unique and hexadecimal.
- The length setting defaults to 24, and will require all RFID Tag EPC values entered when adding new items to match this length.
- The Prefix setting is optional and can be toggled on. If on, one or more prefixes can be specified, and all RFID Tag EPC values will be required to start with one of the listed prefixes.
* = Required
Your organization's needs are unique, so we have designed Stratosphere with the ability to add and remove feature sets with a simple toggle. Some features are free, while others may require an additional subscription cost to enable. There are currently five add-on features available in Stratosphere for your organization.
Allows Handheld Device users to select which location they are scanning inventory at, right in the inventory app. This is enabled by creating an Alias for a location and assigning it to any number of handhelds in Stratosphere. This feature enables a single device to scan a limitless number of inventory locations, while keeping the scanned inventory neatly organized in its proper location.
To learn more details about the workflows and screens associated with the Aliases feature, see the Aliases article.
Allows item usage to be documented in case records. Cases capture data about how an item was used, including case number, date, account, ship-to location, surgeon, procedure, and items used. If desired, Non-RFID products can also be documented as used in a case. Submitted Cases may be emailed to specified recipients to enable real-time electronic billing and replenishment processes.
To learn more details about the workflows and screens associated with the Case Management feature, see the Case Management article.
Enable the option to set a unit price for each RFID product. The Inventory Summary Report will display the inventory value and device inventory value, and the Transaction Report will display the price associated with each item tracked in the report. Item removal receipt notifications may be emailed to specified recipients to enable real-time electronic billing and replenishment processes.
To learn more details about the workflows and screens associated with the Inventory Pricing feature, see the Stratosphere Inventory Pricing article.
Users will be able to document the item disposition status of every item that was removed from one of their assigned locations after they log in to Stratosphere via the Removed Items Report. Statuses are completely configurable by your organization. Users with the "Item Management" role will be able to review and update the status for items across all locations.
To learn more details about the workflows and screens associated with the Item Disposition feature, see the Item Disposition article.
With Kanban Inventory Management enabled for your organization, Stratosphere can simplify inventory management and restocking for low-cost inventory. Rather than tagging individual items, tags bins with products and select product stocking levels. To signal the need for a restock, place an empty bin on a kanban readpoint device. Once the product has been restocked, remove the bin from the readpoint to update Stratosphere. This feature includes two reports, Kanban Restock and Kanban Inventory, and the ability to configure email notifications for products needing to be restocked.
To learn more details about the workflows and screens associated with the Kanban Inventory Management feature, see the Kanban Inventory Management article.
With the Par Levels feature enabled for your organization, Stratosphere will continuously compare the existing stock of products at all locations against your specified minimum and maximum stocking levels, and reports the status in an easy-to-use dashboard widget and report. Now you can prevent and identify overstocks or stock outs at a glance.
To learn more details about the workflows and screens associated with the Par Levels feature, see the Par Levels article.
Users will be directed to document the package integrity status of every item that was removed from one of their assigned locations when they log in to Stratosphere. They can review this documentation on the package integrity page. Users with the "Package Integrity Management" role will not document package integrity status upon log in but will be able to review and edit these statuses across all locations on the package integrity page.
To learn more details about the workflows and screens associated with the Package Integrity feature, see the Package Integrity article.
Add 2 new fields, Product System and Product Category, to the Product Catalog. When enabled, these 2 additional fields will be visible in Stratosphere and included in downloadable, printable, and subscription content for the following pages and reports: Item Management, Product Management, Detailed Inventory Report, Expiring Items Report, Par Levels Report, Removed Items Report, and Slow Moving Inventory Report.
To learn more details about the workflows and screens associated with the Product Catalog Additional Fields feature, see the Product Catalog Additional Fields article.
Users will be alerted to inventory that has been at its current location for longer than the specified number of days. If an item is moved to a different location, its duration in inventory will be reset to 0 and it will no longer appear on the slow-moving inventory report or dashboard. However, movement of an item in and out of the same device, or between multiple devices at the same location, will not reset the item’s inventory duration.
To learn more details about the workflows and screens associated with the Slow Moving Inventory feature, see the Slow Moving Inventory article.
The creation and deletion of organizations can only be done by authorized and trained employees of Terso Solutions. If you would like an additional organization created, or would like to delete your existing organization, please contact us.
