Development & Integration
Creating a Fully Featured Mobile Application
Once your mobile solutions have been defined for your specific business requirements, ProScan Mobility will use the appropriate development platform and connectivity tools to ensure optimum performance of your AutoID and mobile solutions.
Depending on your requirements ProScan can provide solutions based on the following technologies:
Emulator and Browser based solutions
Always-on thin-client applications for your mobile workforce
Emulator and Browser based solutions are optimally suited for use within in-premise solutions where constant connectivity is assured. Hosted applications are accessed using terminal emulation, web-based applications are accessed using a data-collection browser, both allow for easy integration into existing host systems, enhancing and extendingthe use of host applications. Emulator and browser products support enterprise data-collection needs, including bar code scanning and printing, mobile computing and RFID.
Voice Directed Work Solutions
Voice solutions create direct communication between team members and information systems to deliver unparalleled performance in a variety of environments. ProScan uses Vocollect Voice to help front-line employees succeed at their jobs by leveraging the most human approach to communication, two-way dialogue. Workers literally talk through their daily tasks and achieve greater productivity, accuracy and safety, critical to job satisfaction. Voice solutions can be used for virtually any application including warehousing and distribution applications.
In-Field Mobility Platform
ProScan uses MobileFrame’s code-free enterprise mobility platform to easily create, deploy and administer sophisticated custom mobile applications. The MobileFrame platform allows electronic data collection and managed workflow to be seamlessly integrated from the field to backend systems, providing mobile workers with real-time access to the data they need and ensuring that systems remain fully up-to-date with the latest field data.
MobileFrame's Smart Architecture integrates intelligent networking with a thick client allowing mobile workers to perform their duties regardless of network connectivity. When the system detects an available network connection it automatically synchronises any stored data.
MobileFrame is an unique highly scalable enterprise mobility platform, that allows ProScan to cost effectively and quickly develop and deploy complex mobile applications. New mobile applications or changes to deployed applications can be made on-the-fly.
Unlike vertical industry solutions that can be expensive, inflexible and technologically out dated, MobileFrame addresses a range of needs from a common set of modern applications. This enables dynamic application creation, updates for workflow as well as business rules and data access without customised programming.
A successful mobility project requires more than mobile applications; it must include the tools necessary to administer the solution and manage the mobile workforce, including:
- Mobile Application Development Tools:
Using MobileFrame’s Mobility Platform, ProScan can create mobile applications in a fraction of the time without the expense or delay of custom programming.
- Mobile Instant Messaging
Secure end-to-end instant messaging between users
- Mobile Device Management
Tools to ensure the solution continues to operate with minimal downtime
- GPS Tracking and Mapping
Recover time and money lost due to operational inefficiencies
MobileFrame is a global and award winning mobility platform that incorporates the required elements for the successful development, roll-out and support of your mobile solution.
Bespoke Development
In addition to the above mentioned mobility platform, ProScan also develops applications in any of the currently available toolsets such as C# and JAVA. Some of our current applications include Print Management, Asset Tracking and Stock Take applications, all developed for blue chip corporate customers.
Integration
No matter what platform is used to develop an application, the most important component is always the integration between the mobile solution and the back-end database or system. ProScan has successfully integrated mobile applications into many ERP systems including SAP and our technical team has extensive experience in database design and development.
