Mobile Sales
Minimize

When your workforce needs access to information and the ability to complete activities outside the four walls, our Panatracker Mobile architecture offers the technology framework to meet those requirements. The PanatrackerGP Mobile Bar Code Data Capture solution for Microsoft Dynamics GP offers the ability to:

  • Capture sales orders at the customer site or sales floor.
  • Manage truck inventory and validate deliveries.
  • Automate vendor-managed inventory with the ability to build new orders and complete restock deliveries.
We have experience integrating and extending Microsoft Dynamics ® GP. Our solutions are built on the latest Microsoft .NET technologies and can be tailored to meet your specific business process requirements. Use the Mobile Sales solution along with PanatrackerGP Inventory to complete inventory management. Mobile Sales is ideal for customers that need to capture transactions at the point and time the transaction occurs. Transactions include:
  • Take New Order
  • Direct Sale
  • Order Delivery
  • Return 
  • Consignment Sales
  • Accept Payment
  • Cash Receipt Reporting
Transaction data capture features customer signature and receipt printing. View synchronized customer list based on pending order deliveries. With PanatrackerGP, you can streamline the sales operation by eliminating manual order taking that requires re-entry back to Dynamics. 

The PanatrackerGP application operates on Windows Mobile devices. Communication options include wireless and cradle synchronization. Panatrack recommends the Motorola MC65 unit because it supports wireless 802.11a/b/g, cellular network, and cradle communication. 
Connectivity Options

A wireless network is a flexible data communication system using radio frequency technology to transmit and receive data over the air. Wireless technology enables total business mobility.  Using a wireless notebook computers, mobile handheld computer, or bar code scanner, you can connect with co-workers, interact with customers, and obtain current information to make real-time decisions.  The result is increased productivity and lower operating costs. 

Some of the wireless technologies available include:

  • Wireless LANs (802.11a/b/g)
