More Efficiency with GeneXus Mobile System

A mobile system developed with GeneXus 9.0 and .NET Mobile generator uses Web Services developed with the .NET generator to communicate the corporate ERP (Progress) with Pocket PCs.

The Agrop-Pecuária Alto Uruguai Ltda. cooperative (Cotrimaio) offers various services in the farming and agroindustrial sectors, such as the marketing and industrialization of farming products. It has a presence in cereal grain businesses, farming equipment shops, supermarkets, fuel outlets and meat packing plants.

Cotrimaio needed to collect data from its associates and contributors to provide more information to their clients as well as give salespeople more elements to consolidate the sale during the visit to the client. For this purpose the solution had to supply the company agronomists with information stored in the Progress database used by the corporate ERP-such as what products have been bought by the farmers previously -in addition to enabling closing product sales through orders.

The solution was the development of a Mobile System for Pocket PC with GeneXus 9.0 and the .NET Mobile generator, and the development of an interface that uses Web Services to synchronize and integrate the Pocket PC mobile system data with the corporate ERP. We developed this interface with GeneXus .NET generator using Business Components and SDTs, explained Glauber C. Weddigen, Migrate Company Technology Director, who was in charge of the solution development for Cotrimaio.

The ERP has a Progress data base that replicates the information in an SQL Server base which agronomists use to synchronize the information of their Pocket PCs through Web Services. SQL Server can also be used as a DB for the WEB application that manages the information that the agronomists obtain and load in the Pocket PC.

Weddigen emphasized GeneXus dynamic approach concerning the technology of its generators and supported DBMS and underscored the importance of using a technologically up-to-date tool. Migrate Technology Director pointed out that this mobile solution offers greater efficiency in the cooperative field activities, where the sales force no longer uses a diary but a mobile GeneXus system in their Pocket PC.
