PDA extension for sales and order database system
Expertus Mobile - PDA extension for sales & order database system
Expertus Mobile is a PDA solution for sales representatives.
The software can cooperate with any sales & order database system that could exchange data in on-line or off-line mode via comma delimited data format.
This means that Expertus Mobile can be used as the PDA extension by both modern and old-fashioned systems.
The sales & order database system works in the company center (the main system - PC standard application) while the PDA software works on Pocket PC.
The software provides the following functionality:
- employees (sales representatives) have access to database beyond company office
- possibility of working off-line:
- get product cataloge, stock situation and customer data
- order the goods (off-line mode allows to use the system even in places that have no internet access or slow connection speed)
- send order to company office: immediately or after delay
- fast transfer (data sent between PDA and the main system are tiny)
- flexible but easy to use
- input and output format (from and into the main system): comma delimited [widely used]
- class and data standard of the main system (sql, xbase, proprietary file structure, etc.) does not matter
- multilingual interface
