Our Mobile offerings bridge the gap between the branch-located management system and a flexible workforce out on the road, roaming the yard, working from home or visiting customer sites. Every year new mobile devices appear, challenging the way we think about traditional desk-bound computer systems.

We aim to exploit the opportunities the new technologies offer and to extend the range of things you can do with bisTrack using the power of the GPRS network. Were moving forwards, the products moving forwards. Were already pretty excited at the things you can do with bisTrack Mobile, but were pretty sure theres a lot more to come. Recently we've been looking at what we can do with Apple's iPhone and it's latest offering the iPad could this be the device that gives the best of both worlds?
Benefits: Stay in touch wherever you are, on or off site. Whether youre connected, or not. Distributors and merchants now need information quickly and effortlessly, and bisTrack data management keeps the business intelligence flowing, with hand-held stock control and offline trading.
Handheld stock management
The current generation of lightweight, rugged handheld devices have made wireless stock counting a practical option. With a slim training overhead and the ability to roam through all of your stock areas, your staff will rattle through a task not often relished.
bisTrack handheld devices
bisTrack handhelds run within Microsofts .NET Compact Framework v2 and use SQL Server Mobile 2005 libraries. Various mobile flavours of Microsoft Windows support these frameworks:
Windows Mobile 2003 and 2005 for Pocket PC
Windows CE 5
Windows Mobile 5 and 6
The wireless devices communicate with the base station and if the connection is ever lost for whatever reason, they just pick up where they left off when the connection is re-established. Stock counting might never actually be fun, but at least we make it as painless as possible.
Benefits: Simplifies a difficult and time-consuming task. Keep tighter control on your stock and lighten the capital overhead of excess stock. Mobile management and stock control makes managing your business that much more stress-free.
