The company decided to develop an application for Pocket
PC with GeneXus to provide its sales force with higher mobility, security and
autonomy while reducing costs In six months they have offered their more than
200 salespeople a solution that runs on Pocket PCs and allows capturing purchase
orders, performing queries directly on company servers and printing customer
orders.
The application generated with GeneXus and installed in
the Pocket PC is connected via modem to the central server of the company to
send orders, update registers and verify customer credit. In turn, this server
communicates with the company ERP, so information is incorporated directly to
it.
Technological unification and an increase in development
productivity were the key factors for the decision to adopt this solution,
pointed out Sergio Santos, systems manager of Tecnol.
